 What are reasonable expectations specifically for Chevy next year?
 I would think making post season would be one of them. If the Jets don't make the post season next year, that can't only fall on the shoulders of his next hire imo.

 Back in the day this would be scandalous. Now it’s, that’s it? That’s all he did? What about (insert name) and what they did? No resignation?

 The warning ought to be along the lines of "don't watch if you are both stupid and gullible".

 They ought to be mandated to say at the beginning of every show and every interview that what they are presenting is entertainment and opinion but having nothing at all to do with reality.

 "Justinflation"
 That is the definition of a dog whistle meant to do nothing more than rile up his misinformed and scared supporters, and is just as bad as damaging as Trudeau a communist. He proudly supported the Covidiot Clown Convoy, he's made ignorant remarks regarding the public health restrictions and mandates, and he consistently makes nonsensical statements about the liberals trying to destroy the Canada. Hyperbole, dog whistles, and falsehoods are all part of the alt-right playbook. Poilievre engages in those tactics daily - and he seems to enjoy doing so (probably because it feeds his narcissism).
 So, no. It is not a gross exaggeration to suggest he's alt-right.
 Imagine defending a Canadian politician who supports another country's political party by buying crappy merch. That's what's comical.

 You seem more upset with PP being called a alt-right populist than his alt-right populist policies. Enjoy the ride.
 Guy was all buddy-buddy with the terrorists in Ottawa, so he's disqualified himself for most Canadians.

 Poilievre is just another acolyte of the Calgary School, nothing new, different or original is ever going to come out of his mouth, it's all republican lite. The CPC has to stop going back to this well, it's poisoned.

 From what I can tell, he's a sniveling, devious grifter who's feeding on the fear and ignorance of his supporters to benefit his own selfish interests. His lack of of seeing the bigger picture, by choice or not, makes him an idiot of the short-sighted variety.
 That's a dangerous game to play, IMO. Especially when he does little more than resort to hyperbole, dog whistles, and outright falsehoods.

 Fla. law made school book bans easier. So one man challenged the Bible.
 The man petitioning to ban the Bible says it is just as sexually explicit and violent as other books facing challenges
 
 By Hannah Natanson Today at 11:47 a.m. EDT It was Florida’s move to reject 54 math textbooks for “prohibited subjects” that made up Chaz Stevens’s mind: It was time to go after the Bible.
 Stevens, a 57-year-old tech wizard with a history of pulling wacky political stunts, had already been tracking the progress of a new state law that makes it easier for parents and county residents to challenge books in schools. The provision, which comes amid an unprecedented nationwide spike in challenges to books — particularly those by and about LGBTQ and Black people — was signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in late March. It takes effect July 1. But Stevens decided he could not wait a moment longer.
 As of Wednesday, he has filed near-identical petitions with 63 Florida school districts asking to ban the Bible. He has also filed a second petition with one district, Broward County Public Schools, requesting the removal of the Oxford English Dictionary. His three-page petition critiques the Bible for its depictions of bestiality and cannibalism, its “eye-popping passages of babies being smashed against the rocks” in Psalms 137 and its “strong pro-slavery position,” citing Ephesians 6:5-7.
 “As the Bible casually references ... such topics as murder, adultery, sexual immorality, and fornication — or as I like to think, Date Night Friday Night — do we really want to teach our youth about drunken orgies?” the petition asks.
 Schools nationwide are quietly removing books from their libraries
 Stevens’s subsequent complaint against the dictionary calls it “a weighty tome over 1,000 years old, containing more than 600,000 words; all very troubling if we’re trying to keep our youth from learning about race, gender, sex, and such.”
 Although Stevens’s petitions are tongue-in-cheek, legal experts said his actions highlight flaws and constitutional concerns surrounding Florida’s new law and others like it — and could lead to serious litigation down the line. Erica Goldberg, a University of Dayton Law School professor who studies First Amendment rights, said Stevens’s petitions could showcase that the new law may cause school boards to engage in “viewpoint discrimination,” or removing information because of dislike of the ideas it contains, which is impermissible per the Supreme Court. She noted that the Bible is replete with episodes of violence and sexual abuse, including the rape of Dinah in Genesis, which leads her brothers Levi and Simeon to kill every man in the city of Shechem to avenge her honor; the incestuous rape of King David’s daughter Tamar by her half brother Amnon; and the brutal dismemberment of a concubine in Judges. She said the Bible is at least as sexually explicit as some of the books parents are labeling inappropriate, raising the question: Why can the Bible stay in the library when those books have to go?
 “This stunt is going to illuminate," she added. “Many of our First Amendment rights get meted out by edge cases or by people looking to make statements.” (more) https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2022/04/28/bible-book-ban-florida/
