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.

At some point you have to make the defence fear your arm if you want to have success running the ball as a QB. Hill has shown enough to be a viable threat. Streveler has not done that even in his time in the CFL. His success here in the short term was largely based on having Harris and Demski as viable options out of the backfield so teams could not just key on him on random plays. That credit goes to LaPolice despite many not wanting to give that due credit. When Streveler became the full time starter after Nichols’ injury, teams got wise by spying him and forcing him to beat them with his passing. For the most part, he was unsuccessful and that is why they rushed in Collaros to save the season. The question is will he become a Turner Gill who shows that he has no real talent as a QB and is a glorified runner who can throw a ball but does not have the mental skill set to pick apart a defence, or does he become a Henry Burris or Tracy Ham who learns the passing game and evolves out of the “gimmick running QB” mould to become a mobile passer?

A healthy Kyler Murray would have made a huge difference. Him in playing against Watford and I say the Cards win

When that one leg also includes an arm and the ability to read an NFL defence, absolutely.

He’s a 23 year old kid with $14 million guaranteed in the bank and a lifetime of being protected and coddled as a star athlete from high school through college whose destiny from an early age was to be a pro football player. Doesn’t make him stupid or a bozo. Pro athletes live in a very different world than the average fan. Frankly, I’d be more surprised if I heard that he WASN’T snorting cocaine off a hooker’s ass on a daily basis. Even if he never plays another down in his life, he’s already made out better financially then I ever will, and I’ve been working 35 years.

According to TSN, the Germans were given the option of rescheduling their initial games once the COVID outbreak hit. They chose to keep the games as they were. The rationale was that they were going to lose these 2 games anyway, so the scores don’t matter, and they would rather get their full compliment back for the games that matter to them against the Swiss and the Slovaks to try and crack the playoffs. I was literally typing my response at the same time. You are just faster on the send button. 🤣

I was given the option of getting a 90th anniversary ring from the club, personalized and only 90 maximum were to be made. Absolutely love it.

How big are the replica rings? Can they actually be worn, or just displayed?

And tunnel vision is how wrongful convictions can occur. Let the facts dictate the theory, not lead with a theory and then make the facts fit it.

I take no issue with the statement that domestic terrorism is a main threat in the US, but it is premature to lay blame on the right wing before the facts are known. Just as irresponsible as those who blame ANTIFA and BLM for riots ahead of the facts. And it is especially wrong to say they should be “rightfully blamed until proven innocent”. This is the kind of division that o would like to see the ISA walk away from, it has done too match damage already. There is talk of this being a suicide bombing, but it is odd that it was done very publicly with the intent of causing mass damage but with care not to inflict harm on humans. 6:30 am on Christmas with warning announcements in advance. Why go through such trouble if all you wanted to do was kill yourself. The profiler in me wonders if someone wanted to cover up a murder and left an already dead body in the RV and then staged a suicide bombing? Far-fetched but I have heard of more elaborate plots. But it would explain the public display but concern for others’ safety. Who the RV is tied to will give some more answers. One big flaw in my alternate theory is how long it would take to amass that amount of explosive, which would take away from a need to cover up a murder, unless it was very premeditated . Anyway, just a random theory meant to not overlook anything, not making an assertion.

And happy Festivus to all. This year we’ll take a break from the airing of grievances as it would take all of 2021 to get through it, and as for feats of strength we’ve all survived the year, and that takes some serious strength. All the best to everyone this holiday season.

Can’t re-impeach him either, even if all the folks who ducked subpoenas before are forced to testify. NY state will get him on his tax stuff and get a more substantial sentence than anything the Feds will get. The government system was always predicated on a President being checked by the other branches and his own conscience to not wield his power for corrupt reasons. Partisanship has eroded the checks and balances of the first safeguard, and a narcissistic sociopath like Trump exposed the flaws in relying on the second. The Constitution, long touted by Americans as the “greatest living document in history” is showing its warts once again.

You can’t legally prosecute someone twice for the same crime. Pardons are stupid, whichever President hands them out , but it is Constitutionally allowed. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Making the GOP accountable with hearings won’t stop their behaviour, and it won’t turn the Conservative public against them. It will make them martyrs. So as much as the anti-Trump brigade would love that comeuppance, and the news media on both sides would eat up the spectacle (left wing could crow about the corruption, right wing could scream witch hunt and hypocrisy, and neither side would really care about the principles at play so long as it meant ratings), nothing of substance would be gained. The failed Trump impeachment resolved nothing, and only hardened each side’s pre-existing mindset of the other side, without truly exposing what we already knew or obviously suspected. So as fun as the circus/drive-by car crash might be, it would not get the nation anywhere productive and just cost a lot of money to put on political theatre. I think Biden knows how tired the nation is and sees giving it a rest from the freak show as the way to go. Now, if he gains control of the Senate in January then it will be much easier to skip the retribution hearings and heal the nation his way, since the GOP will need to bend to his will and cooperate to get anything from him, since he will hold the cards.
