Keep the name (since it identifies an army regiment, and COULD also just mean a bird), change the logo. Or just go with Hawks. As for the logo, this would be quite fitting (even if it is actually an eagle) since it is already tied to the club’s history: https://pin.it/3yp2gB3

Today is the 8th anniversary of the Sandy Hook massacre. The day the NRA debate logically ended. If 26 childrens’ deaths cannot provoke meaningful gun law change, don’t think anything will. In the aftermath, conspiracy theories rose. None of this SHOULD be in a political thread, but such is the state of the USA now that this seemed to be the most appropriate place to put this piece. It begs the huge question - how did the US get to this point where this kind of thinking not only takes hold but is allowed to grow in the mainstream? What had driven so many to believe all of these conspiracy theories? https://twitter.com/shannonrwatts/status/1338497105627734016?s=20

COVID related as well.

By definition, you cannot be both unaware and aware of something. If you are ignorant, you are unaware and this have no intent to refuse to accept what you know is reality. You honestly but mistakenly believe something that is false. If you are willful then you make a conscious choice to not accept what you know is reality.

I’d watch Jets-Preds or Jets-Wild any day over seeing the Sens.

My favourite random stat of the day - Trump’s election lawyers have more positive COVID diagnoses than they do victories in court.

So quickly found 2 articles on this hypothetical. As Inigo Montoya said in “The Princess Bride”: “Let me explain. No, is too much.....let me sum up.” Short answer appears to be yes, he could preside over and cast a vote at his own impeachment. This first article basically says the Constitution screwed up in its wording and would allow the Veep to preside. Funny, I thought the Constitution was the “greatest living document” ever created. It couldn’t be that boastful Americans have again overstated their own sense of self-importance, could it? https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/234182826.pdf The second article spells out that the Chief Justice of SCOTUS who presides could actually vote to break ties first based on precedent, this eliminating the VP’s power as it would no longer be a tie, but in questions where the VP is opposed and it is a tie, the question is automatically defeated before a tie breaker vote even happens. One would imagine he would be opposed to his own removal, so tie breaker vote is a moot point. Assuming that I am reading this right. I am not a constitutional law scholar. https://www.legbranch.org/can-the-vice-president-vote-in-a-presidential-impeachment-trial/

Of course. Overthought it and forgot that Harris would no longer be the deciding vote there in my alternate reality. This is why I can’t have nice things! That raises an interesting question though. If Pence was being impeached, and it went to the Senate for vote on removing him, would he be allowed to cast a tiebreaker vote if he himself was the accused party?

9-0 decision. So much for Trump’s hand-picked conservative judges returning the favour. Correct me if I am wrong, but this SCOTUS decision is NOT the Texas state suit against the swing states, correct?

Hate to go all grammar Nazi here, especially given my penchant for long-winded posts, but that opening statement had less periods than a pregnant woman. As for Trump’s babblings, a tiny (really tiny) part of me would accept him ramming a false Presidency through SCOTUS if I was promised that Dems won both run-offs. Then with control of both the House and the Senate, re-impeach him day one and get Pence too, and then let Pelosi or someone else be appointed President since they would have the votes to evict him.

The Niners shifted their offence last year to a massively run heavy game plan simply to, in the words of reporters who followed the team and talked to the coaching staff, “keep Garoppolo from costing us the game with a bad pick”. Not sure if that is completely accurate, but he is not well regarded it seems despite a gaudy won-lost record overall. Having said that, Kirk Cousins is the most overpaid QB in the game today, and would be a big downgrade. He is Jimmy without the winning percentage.

Actually, it’s “re-elect”. So they really could. And both GOP candidates did get the most votes in November, they just did not cross the magic 50% + 1 barrier needed because of 3rd party candidates on the ballot. So the Dems winning both would legitimately be the surprise. Never underestimate the stupidity of large swaths of the American public.

Well, Trump left his supporters high and dry with no buses home once after a rally. Fitting that his ride home would abandon him and leave him standing around after his next one. Actually, my favourite visual from Twitter is the person who suggested that the NYSE draft up an indictment while he is in the air from Washington, and get an arrest warrant and apprehend him the second he descends from the stairs of Air Force One in Florida. Then perp walk him in handcuffs live on TV into a waiting police vehicle before he can start his rally. Now THAT would be event television.

So quick poll question for the masses. Should the CFL allow for a window where individual teams get an exclusive chance to re-sign players that were on their club roster and that they let go when the pandemic shut down the year before they can be scooped by any other team, or should they all be treated as pure free agents free to sign with any team they want right from the get go?

Unless Dems win both run-off seats and gain control of the Senate, we will not see Trump prosecuted. Even if they do, he will have his hands full with many things and may not want to distract Congress with a political pissing match. If the Dems want to enact true change and bring a scorched earth policy to crush all the Republican corruption and enabling, they first need the clear majority mandate not to lose power in 2 years. So gain the Senate first, then open up voting laws to ensure a maximum participation of voters and elimination of gerrymandering and the electoral college. Then they will have a solid long term base of the majority of voters and can make change without much fear of reprisal. Only then can they safely engage in Trump payback, which would be more for show than actual punishment anyway. They may be content to let NY state take a run at the Donald, and let Rudy and Roger Stone and Steve Bannon slink back under hero respective rocks of irrelevance once they have no true influential power.

So what’s the discussion? Who is the bigger loud mouthed egotistical d*ck? Kelly or Pederson? Sure. Discuss.

The follow-up back story to this is quite something. After he opened his own phony church and asked for money, Oliver shut it down. Not because he had to, but because people sent more than just money, and it became a public health issue. Won’t spoil it if you don’t know, but here is the link to the progression of episodes.

Sorry, stopped reading your post after I saw you reduce all of the Streveler man crush posts you yourself requested down to “blah blah blah”. Hilariously accurate. Succinct, spot on, perfect. Well done.

Well, only since you asked. Here are the receipts: FYI the Cards have the #2 offence in the NFL, only behind the Chiefs. And they are #3 in rushing.

He moves like he still has the hanger inside his shirt.

My disdain is not for Streveler or those who merely hope he does well.

The desperation of the Streveler fan boys to see him play and their belief that he is the end all be all but for being held back is rivalling Trump supporters who still believe he lost the election.

At least a glimmer of good news there. Recovered cases outpaced new cases for the first time since September I believe, so total cases are down. Deaths are going to increase for a bit I fear since they always lag behind case increases, but hopefully the measures are starting to take effect in terms of lessening transmission.

How any senator gets to play the stock market given potential conflict of interest or potential for insider trading abuse is beyond me, but her husband is literally the chairman of the NYSE, how is this not an immediate conflict the moment she plays the market?
