Didn’t miss the 1st. Just don’t base my entire perception of a player off of 20 minutes.

Yeah, that goal Forbert saved was awful. 🙄 You often complain that Maurice rides his top lines too much, and now you want to have him do just that. Do you even hear yourself, or do you just complain for the sake of it?

Jersey numbers are noticably bigger on the back this year to my eye.

Ah yes, here is an example of the “unity” they were begging for: And some more from Qanon Congresswoman Greene, in case you thought the Biden impeachment stunt is a one-off and not her true personality:

So “horns guy” who stormed the Capitol and was quoted saying he wasn’t afraid of being arrested is now on a hunger strike since he can’t have his usual granola diet with white linen napkins, and his pillow isn’t fluffed for him by the turn down service maids (OK, not all of those claims may be accurate). But hearing this, it dawned on me that many of these keyboard warrior white supremacists who stormed the building are now going to sharing jail cells with a majority of non-white inmates. Wonder how the Confederate flag and swastika tattoos and Camp Auschwitz t-shirts are going to over with that crowd? Action-consequence in real time. https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/man-breached-capitol-fur-hat-004453775.html

You think his wife will never bring it up again? Have you ever BEEN married? *check over my shoulder to make sure my wife isn’t behind me before I hit send*

Kudos for owning your mistake and not doubling down. You are forgiven, now just put this on.

From all I heard, this was coming even before the attack on the Capitol. He was a lousy credit risk and they wanted to pull the plug a while ago given the optics of his corrupt Presidency and how it tarnished them. They were going to do it right after Inauguration Day, but the sedition hastened that announcement to now.

So I have been ruminating for a while on Bluto’s “Your Hate Goes Here” thread from a while back and was curious how people would apply it to US Politics? I find it hard to rank politicians because every day someone new seems to take the lead. So does anyone want to take their 100 hate points and assign them? Both parties are fair game.

Ok thanks. But his salary won’t count against the NHL cap, correct?

Active cases down 1,300, hospitalizations down 77, ICU cases down 11 with only 3 deaths. Better news all around.

So except for Perrault all those guys are Moose bound. Can someone who understands capology better than I explain the impact of Matty’s waiver? If he clears, do we need to buy out his contract if we release him? What is the cap hit then? Right now he runs us $4.125 million cap hit, and with Little going to LTIR that would free up a max. $9.4 million, if that is how it works. Long term Laine signing or new Roslovic contract in the offing with that extra cash? Any insights?

So this is repeated in the Random Jets news so comments can go there, but for the sake of the waiver wire thread where this should belong:

Remember the sway and depth that the Trump vote holds. 74 million Americans! voted for him this time, and they are essentially one issue voters - we hate Liberals. The vast majority of the 81 million who voted for Biden were likely one issue voters too - we hate Trump. That issue is now gone, so getting that 81 million vote coalition could well be tougher next time. GOP will never court the left wing vote, but are not going to ignore 74 million potential votes for themselves, regardless of how repugnant those voters may be, so they will court the extreme right wing as that is where the voters have shifted to. Dems consistently struggle with a unified voice at the polls (old guard vs. Progressives vs Bernie Bros.) and it is said that liberals in the US are still more conservative than Canadian conservatives. So when that vote gets split, a minority that is unified can outnumber a splintered majority. I honestly think if Trump ran as an Independent in 2024 he could outnumber both existing parties (at least I believed that before the insurrection, we’ll see how short memories are in 4 years’ time). So not surprising that Republicans would not disregard that sizable voting block.

Add: 6. Publicly press VP Pence to enact the 25th Amendment 7. Co-sign the Articles of Impeachment. A bi-partisan document would go a long way to unity. Following through with an actual vote to impeach in both Houses would prove you are sincere. 8. Bring a motion to expel Josh Harley and Ted Cruz from the Senate for their role in the attempt to overthrow a lawful election win. THEN we can talk.

To their limited credit, these 7 Republicans all voted in favour of certification of the contested states and did not join the GOP wave of denial. So at least they are not being hypocrites to that extent.

Lather, rinse, repeat for Goalie. Every year is apparently “make or break” year for Maurice according to you. Every year he is woefully inept and we’d be much better off without him. And yet he is still here and your argument starts with a false assertion. He has made the playoffs 4 times in 7 seasons here.

FIFY ( plus now we can make fat jokes with that anagram)

I heard on CJOB this morning that Twitter believes Trump’s presence alone accounts for 20% of their traffic and ergo it’s revenue streams. Is it any wonder they won’t ban him?

So after the dust settles on the riot,Congress got back to work and members were allowed to speak. Many addressed the violence, thanked the police for protecting them, and calls to stop the madness were common, from both parties. Then there was Matt Gaetz, Florida Republican, who had this take and felt that the immediate aftermath of the insurrection was the time to offer this nugget: And he got applause from Republicans for that. For clarity, I imagine he is referencing the Parker conspiracy that ANTIFA sent in double agents to create violence as a false flag operation and get Pro-Trumpers to take the blame, much like the accusations of Proud Boys infiltrating BLM rallies and starting violence to make the March look violent. Many cite this guy (“Horns”) as the Antifa plant since he was seen at a BLM rally earlier. Except the leader of the Proud Boys himself has identified the man as Q/MAGA and photos (once the cropping is removed) back that up. https://twitter.com/halfabubbleoff/status/1347066359914459136?s=20 https://twitter.com/Dan_Donovan_17/status/1347026444879241217?s=20

Once the Capitol is cleared, I hope all Democrats return, no matter what state the building is in, no matter what time it is, and say “let’s continue with the certification”. No delay, no excuses. Have the National Guard surround the chamber if they have to. Get Pence back in and demand that he count the votes ASAP. Sit amid the destruction - no attempt to tidy the mess - and do your job, and if a Republican (any not too chicken **** to show up) still wants to question it, hold the debate right there in the chamber, let them have their little stunt, let the Republicans fight amongst themselves for the allotted time, then quietly say “let’s vote on it”, shut it down, and move on to the next state until the certification happens. Don’t care if it takes until 10:00 am tomorrow as long as they take no breaks and show the US citizens and the world that for once they take the job seriously and are willing to plow through the night to get the job done. Show the MAGA idiots that democracy will not be intimidated, but do it amidst the ruins so the GOP can ruminate on what they have wrought.

Nope. Only one question. Why would anyone be surprised by this? This is what America is and always has been. Trump did not create this, did not even bring it out of the woodwork. It is the anti-Trumpers who were pushed to speak out to a segment of society that was finally ready to listen and shone a light on what was always there, the racism, the police brutality, the murder of African Americans at the hands of law enforcement. The white privilege. The selfishness, arrogance, and stupidity of America.

So to clarify from what Twitter is now saying, it was in fact Pence and not Trump who authorized the sending in of the DC National Guard (unless you believe Kayleigh McEnamy’s version that it was Trump - so hard to know who to believe). Since he was rushed from the scene of the riot in a panic, he probably had a better feel for the situation.

So the National Guard for DC is one the way. Could only be deployed by the Dept. of Defence on Trump’s say so. The original request was denied. But the Governors of States can authorize it as well, which is what the Governors of Maryland and Virginia did. Only once they mobilized did Trump flip and order the DC guard to activate as well. Didn’t want to be shown up by actual leaders taking action. When asked why the DC National Guard was not being deployed, someone was quoted as saying the “optics” of having the troops at the Capitol would look bad. Take another look at the picture above and ask why it was not an issue when BLM had its protests, which never got near the Capitol steps. Then look at pictures of the domestic terrorists (don’t call them protesters) storming the building with Confederate flags - somethig that was not even achieved during the Civil War - ripping down American flags and replacing them with Trump flags, attacking police, smashing windows, or breaking into Senators’ offices and looting the place, and ask how those optics look? To be fair to those folks, the mayor had requested National Guard assistance ahead of time and was denied by the DOD, and the Capitol police and WPD were out in force, but were overmatched. I won’t speak for those individual officers who did nothing or took selfies.
