This is her “living pay check to pay check” house:

Such a waste of time trying to argue with these Trump supporters. They can’t be reasoned with, bargained with, ever convinced that they are completely wrong in their beliefs, and unwilling to accept logic and cold hard facts. Biden and the Democrats need to realize this and honestly stop trying to placate them with “unite the country” talk. I find it hard to see anything redeemable about the Republican Party, so burn it to the ground while you have the liberal numbers. Kill the electoral college, eliminate gerrymandering, stack the Supreme Court. Republicans manipulated the rules without apology to their benefit and never sweated the fallout because these are their followers and they know people’s attention spans are too short for there to be repercussions. Time to bury this hateful segment of America once and for all. Monday rant over.

Somehow it does not bother me that Trump is fleecing his gullible flock for money to line his pockets. Biden has more to worry about than opening an investigation into this particular problem. Let those Republican donors who feel ripped off bring a class action civil suit.

I just don’t understand how they determine if an outbreak is contained or not. Denver had 3 QBs who were negative but had close contact with the positive QB, so all 4 deemed ineligible - but the outbreak is contained? And Baltimore QB gets a positive test, and they say it is not contained? It would have been better for the Broncos to declare that they couldn’t confirm all those who had contact with the positive testing QB, so their outbreak was not contained, and then they get a delay. The rule may be spelled out, but how the NFL is implementing it needs a better explanation, or else it looks random and inconsistent.

The issue isn’t comparing football players to the real world. The issue is equity and consistency within the NFL itself. The Titans have a COVID outbreak, they get a pass until they can field a proper team at the expense of the Steelers bye week. The Niners team gets decimated due in part to COVID protocols, too bad you have to play as planned, put out your practice squad. Baltimore has a COVID outbreak, sure we can put off your match until your QB and other starters are cleared, who cares if we force the Steelers to lose another mini-bye and now make them play twice on 5 days. But hey Denver, you have no quarterbacks, but we can’t postpone your match, sucks to be you. Rules are completely inconsistent and are screwing some teams while giving others a competitive advantage.

Wonder what the pastor would say about this counterpoint opinion on religious freedom vs. “tyrannical edicts” from another religious figure - the Pope. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/26/opinion/pope-francis-covid.html#click=https://t.co/uT9CQoJ5OE

It’s a life sentence, not 25 years. And with the Faint Hope clause he could apply for parole in 15 years anyway. I wouldn’t worry, I’d wager big money he isn’t going to be seeing the outside of a prison any time while I still walk this earth, and I plan on being around for 40 more years at least.

Aw, it would be such a shame to see all of Trump’s “lawsuit campaign” fund (a.k.a. “recoup all the money we spent running a losing election campaign” fund) money get eaten up defending these civil suits and paying out settlements.

I see what you did there. But if anyone missed the brilliant subtlety of your response, let me hammer it home I was not. But I would sure like to take DeJoy out of the Post.

Because of the pardon, Flynn no longer has 5th Amendment immunity so if Congress now calls him to testify about Russian collusion in 2016 he can’t dodge the subpoena or refuse. Commutation of sentence would have still protected him.

Who cares? Trump will just pardon him anyway.

You mean Trump might actually win a lawsuit?

Are you honestly concerned that this loyal cult is (a) willing to abandon their leader now because of logic, or (b) smart enough to see the flaw in this plan? At this point you could draw them a diagram of the self-destructive outcome of this move and they would still yell “fake news” and bow down to dear leader. If they still risk their lives not wearing masks to support the Trump mindset, I’m not too worried about them pulling off the 3D chess mental gymnastics to prevent their own demise of a Republican Senate majority.

This Parler movement to write in Trump for the Georgia senate race is the first thing the MAGA crowd has suggested that I agree with. Since Trump is not registered as a candidate, any write-in for him is simply a spoiled ballot, and since it will only eat away at Republican votes, both Senate swats could flip Democrat and result in a 50-50 Senate, with the VP being the tie-breaker as needed. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

We all miss it, or we would not be here posting on a Bomber fan site. But to say a missed season is the worst thing he has ever had happen to him is either laughably false, or he has led the most privileged life of all time, and has no business whining about anything. And to use that self-entitlement to justify bashing the commish for nothing more than the optimistic news of next year’s schedule coming out is totally off base in my opinion. 10 people are dying daily in this Province due to a modern plague and a lost football season is the most gutting thing ever? Give US a break, not him.

Here’s my criticism of your stance. You ***** when he “hides on his cave” and says nothing, and then you ***** when he comes out and says something. You are pre-dispositioned to take anything he says or doesn’t say, does or doesn’t do, in a negative light. You have no objectivity when it comes to him and it has come off as some personal vendetta. You have even bitched about him wearing scarves, for God’s sake, when that is completely irrelevant. You expect him to have a massive plan laid out For CFL perfection when we are seeing that this pandemic has flummoxed governments around the world in their responses. Sweden goes with herd immunity, did not work. Canada did early lockdown amid huge criticism about crippling the economy, and yet here we are now in a huge second wave. Ambrosie was in a no-win situation in a league that needs fans to make a profit, and he along with the owners (who are really the ones pulling the strings, as it always has been) decided not playing was the course to take to protect the players and society. Now we get news that shows they are at least planning a re-boot, and you jump all over it as being useless. But if they did not say anything you’d whine (as you already have done repeatedly on this board) that he is not saying anything to the fans who have the absolute RIGHT to full disclosure (news flash, we don’t). Hey, if you have all the answers and see the way out of this, especially a way that has zero fans and no vaccines but can sustain the league financially, please enlighten us, and run for commissioner yourself (or better yet become a politician, since they don’t have the answers either). NHL owners pitched for the season to shut down in some quarters too as they would lose less money that way, so this is not just a CFL problem.

If that is honestly true, then (and I will try to say this as nicely and respectfully as possible) you need to get a f***ing life, or at least a f***ing clue.

A nice poker analogy from Edward Norton of all people to explain one theory of Trump’s mentality and how the hand needs to be played against him: Click on it to get the full thread. And thanks to Fred C. Dobbs for helping me finally figure out this twitter link stuff. Maybe next he can help me reach-program the clock on my VHS machine! 🤣

Hutz had a better won-loss trial record than Jackie did, though.

MBB counters with its own legal expert. It’s the Clarence Darrow vs. William Jennings Bryan 2020 re-match for our times.

I see Trump at some point starting to pivot the narrative just like he did with the birtherism. After peddling lies for years about Obama and Kenya, he comes out and declares “Obama is from America, period. I helped show that so all those who spread this misinformation need to stop”, praising himself for reinforcing the truth to quash the conspiracy while conveniently ignoring that he is the source of the conspiracy. Now he will pivot the election fraud stuff to “I made sure this election was legit, because of my concerns the pollsters did a great job, and we exposed and corrected all the flaws, America should thank me for being the great parrot I am for ensuring a proper election”.

Remember that all CFL contracts are not guaranteed, so common practice with veterans on the edge was to cut them before Labour Day to avoid them getting paid out for the balance of the season, or cutting a vet in March just before a bonus was due. Lousy optics and a shady way to handle contracts, but all legit in the CFL, so the Lions had the chance to do this with Reilly and did not, so I say they are on the hook for it. Bombers cut loose a bunch of their guys to free them up for NFL opportunities and avoid contract headaches when it was clear this year would not happen. All teams had that option, BC chose to hold on to their guy, so honour the contract.

That’s not how the law works. If he has a legit case, the courts won’t throw it out because specific performance (paying him out) can’t be met. The court could rule in his favour, but practically speaking he might still not get paid if they are bankrupt. He would just get in line with the rest of the creditors who are owed money. What you are suggesting is crazy. Imagine if I hired you to fix my fence for $10,000, and then did not pay you for services rendered under our agreed upon contract. You sue, I go to court and say, yeah, I don’t have any money to pay him so throw out his lawsuit and the court says to you that you have no case because I don’t have the money I promised you, agreeing to throw out the lawsuit because of my failings, not yours. Businesses everywhere would line up to have a court system that operated that way. Workers, not so much.

That’s a ridiculous comparison. Drew Brees has 758 rushing yards in a 20 year career. Kyler Murray has almost 1,100 in a season and a half. Streveler has one carry for 3 yards. Why would you take out the better QB whose run game is better or at least equal against NFL talent than his back-up has shown against only CFL talent. The Cards are not here to give the Bomber fan boys a reason to do a circle jerk. They are here to win games with the best option available.

Those ICU numbers are getting beyond manageable. And Pallister has cut 20% of the Winnipeg ICU beds since taking over.
