Its Hugh Hefner's fault.

Trump-endorsed GOP congressman charged with three counts of felony voter fraud minutes before debate Steve Watkins, an honorary co-chair of Trump's re-election campaign, allegedly used a UPS store address to vote. Rep. Steve Watkins, R-Kansas, was charged with three counts of felony voter fraud and a misdemeanor after an investigation into his vote in a 2019 local election. Watkins, a first-term congressman, was charged with voting without being qualified, interference with law enforcement by providing false information and unlawful advance voting. Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay, a fellow Republican, announced the charges Tuesday about 30 minutes before a televised debate between Watkins and his primary challengers. The congressman was also charged with a misdemeanor charge for failing to notify the DMV that he had changed his address. Watkins, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump and is an honorary co-chair of the Trump re-election campaign, denied the allegations. Watkins, who won his 2018 race by just 0.8 percentage points in a district Trump carried by 19 points, faced the scrutiny of the Federal Election Commission scrutiny in an investigation into whether his father, Steve Watkins Sr., illegally funneled money into his campaign through his daughters, a contractor and the contractor's wife. https://www.salon.com/2020/07/15/trump-endorsed-gop-congressman-charged-with-three-counts-of-felony-voter-fraud-minutes-before-debate/

Too perfect...? What does that even mean? In what way is this strain of coronavirus perfect, much less too perfect? Feel free to present even a shred of credible evidence with scientific data showing COVID-19 is artificially made.

You're missing the entire point and now doubling down in a wounded 'you called me a racist- I don't see colour' persona and then saying 'well if we were changing the Indian Act oh then I would be on your side'... ha that's rich... what a weak move. Once again, Indian and Eskimo have not been the 'common names' since the 1980s/90s... there's no excuse for you not to understand that. The whole point of the issue is that Inuit is the Inuktitut word for their people, Indigenous is the word that First Nations cultures chose to use... not names that were labels - with derogatory connotations - given to them by other cultures. No one is calling you racist but your ignorance does unfortunately highlight the systemic racism that people are currently campaigning against. You don't mean to be racist - and claim to just be being fair - yet your continued use of these terms does hurt and offend people in these cultures. The amount of effort for you to educate yourself and use Inuk instead of Eskimo for example - is about zero - no impact on your life whatsoever. Yet it demonstrates a basic respect for another culture that becomes a part of slowly changing society. Your unwillingness to even consider that says a lot more than you realize.

Well i too would like my full salary to work 1/3 of the time, but the world doesn't work like that.

26 years ago today... What a bloody performance.

it's a horrible comparison. This was not something assigned to EVERYONE. It was only one race of people...who were then called something other then what they wanted to be called. And if either of you bothered to actually read what the twitter posts after say. Many kids were no longer called by name...but the number assigned to them...after they were kidnapped and forced to give up their cultural identity. If you don't see a problem with that, we can't be friends.

Agrios says among the western Arctic community, 78 per cent opposed a name change. In Nunavut, 55 per cent opposed a name change. In the eastern Arctic where results identified “little connection to the team,” 31 per cent oppose a name change.

Send some over here - our rabbit population is out of control.

that "abolish the suburbs" line is one they've been rolling out. it's basically war-on-christmas / war-on-cars stuff. If I were a Goya PR or marketing person, I don't know if I'd want the White House in my lane.

Personally, as much as I'd like to see the CFL again this year - I think they're underestimating the impact injuries have on this situation. Football is a violent sport, what happens when a player gets hurt? Normally you'd fly in another body, and the other guy would recover on IR or whatever... under COVID though... imagine you have a linemen go down you'd have to... 1) Fly in a new player, potentially exposing the entire league to COVID, not only that said player would have to self-quarantine 2) Retain a much higher level of reserve players in your initial 'bubble', likely ballooning salary costs for the league that's already suffering 3) Coax Nik Lewis out of retirement.

Trump ‘Getting Involved’ in Case Against Viral Gun-Toting St. Louis Couple, Says Governor President Trump will be “getting involved” in the case against a white St. Louis couple who went viral after a photograph showed them pointing guns at a group of Black Lives Matter demonstrators passing outside their mansion last month, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said late Tuesday. Mark and Patricia McCloskey are under review for criminal charges and St. Louis Police Chief John Hayden confirmed Tuesday that he’s applied for unspecified warrants related to the case. Meanwhile, CNN reports St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner has said Trump and Parson “came after her” for investigating the case and are “spreading misinformation and distorting the truth.” Parson, a Republican, said he’s spoken with Trump about the case and the president “doesn’t like what he sees and the way these people are being treated.” Parson said Attorney General Bill Barr “was represented on the call,” and that he thinks the president and Barr “are going to take a look” at the McCloskey case. In an interview clip posted by Townhall on Tuesday, Trump defended the McCloskeys, saying: “I understand somebody local, they want to prosecute these people. It’s a disgrace.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-getting-involved-in-case-against-viral-gun-toting-st-louis-couple-says-governor?ref=home (Trump may be demented but he is consistent)

Desperate action by a completely incompetent administration

Trump’s unraveling: Mental health experts explain why the next 4 months could be really dangerous Donald Trump on Friday commuted the sentence of his crony, Roger Stone. As Mitt Romney tweeted, “Unprecedented historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president.” So the president of the United States takes action to help his buddy, a convicted felon, but he cannot take decisive steps to combat the coronavirus pandemic and save lives. This is an act of corruption of the highest order. And this is an example of Trump’s mental disorder and a stark preview of his unraveling over the next four months leading up to the November election. Heading to the November election, Trump’s mental disorder will continue to unravel in the face of mounting pressures and stress. Now, Trump has found a new foil and is attacking Anthony Fauci, a highly respected public health expert. Dr. Fauci has served in five presidential administrations. He relies on data and science. Trump trying to discredit Dr. Fauci is a desperate attempt to blame him for Trump’s own catastrophic handling of the deadly pandemic. And it is another reflection of the gravity of his mental disorder. Unstable and Unraveling What we are seeing in plain view is a narcissistic and antisocial president who is unstable and unraveling daily. He is faced with falling poll numbers, a ferocious and ignored pandemic, an economic recession that he caused, a damaging tell-all book by his niece and defeats by the Supreme Court. Trump’s responses: rants, tweets, lies, whining, conspiracy theories, threats, scapegoating, corruption, feeling victimized, stubbornness. The list goes on and on. Since taking office, Trump’s mental disorder has been in full display. Story after story has been written about his grandiose view of himself; his 19,000 lies to the American people, his bullying, his vindictiveness, his unprecedented breaking of norms, his reckless behavior, his total lack of empathy, his use of projection, his refusal to accept responsibility for his actions and his corruption. All combined, these symptoms and characteristics and behaviors constitute a mental disorder that is serious and debilitating. And the only way to change a personality disorder is with ongoing treatment, especially psychotherapy. Cognitive Issues, Too Added to his personality pathology is the strong likelihood of Trump’s cognitive decline. His vocabulary range has narrowed. His abstract thinking is limited. His reasoning is shallow. He is unfocused. He has difficulty processing complex information. His decision-making is impaired. His judgment is poor. He often appears listless and apathetic. He repeats simple words and phrases over and over. He cannot shift and adapt. His gait can be abnormal. He had trouble drinking a glass of water with one hand. Trump’s cognitive decline could be reflective of dementia; such cognitive problems gradually get worse, not better. Heading to the November election, Trump’s mental disorder will continue to unravel in the face of mounting pressures and stress. He will become increasingly erratic, unstable and desperate. His display of power and corruption may not be hidden any longer. He will take great measures to suppress voter turnout. He will incite racism and a culture war. He will blame and scapegoat others. He will engage in escalating rants, tweets, name-calling, accusations, overt threats, projections, bullying, lies, gaslighting, triangulation, obstruction and whining. His thinking, reasoning, decision-making and judgment will continue to wane. The next four months will be unnerving and unsettling for sure. Trump is unraveling before our eyes. Alan D. Blotcky, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in Birmingham, Ala. He is clinical associate professor, Department of Psychology, University of Alabama at Birmingham. John M. Talmadge, MD, is clinical professor of psychiatry, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

WTF is going on in this thread? Just a quick glance at the latest posts... the flu is worse than Covid-19 and this coronavirus was man- made....? Please stop with misinformation guys... those were all fox news talking points back in March. Wear a mask, don't touch you face, wash hands and practice physical distancing. My favourite story is when the flu threatened to over run the Hospitals in Texas, those were the days.....the flu is worse than Covid-19.... get out of here.

No, but let's go back to United States for a minute. They have almost a quarter of the deaths on the globe. That is a shoddy record for a western democracy, no matter how many states are flattening the curve. I think a country has to own all of their data.

Trump stuns observers as his press conference goes off the deep end: ‘Self-destruction of the president’ President Donald Trump clearly misses holding rallies filled with thousands of his fawning supporters hanging on his every self-aggrandizing word. So on Tuesday, at a press event ostensibly staged to discuss his new executive order withdrawing recognition of Hong Kong as independent from China, he decided to indulge himself by launching into a meandering campaign-style monologue for the reporters in attendance. He leaped from topic to topic, sometimes in a single run-on sentence, and often failed to complete thought. He took aim at his election opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, attacking a laundry list of the Democrat’s policies that he twisted and distorted. Recalling a campaign theme he has long ignored, Trump called out Biden’s son, saying: “Where’s Hunter?” And he returned to many of his favorite topics, such as immigration. He boasted of his relationship with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and warned that a President Biden would tear down the wall he has started to build on parts of the U.S.-Mexico border. “Probably never been a time when candidates are so different,” Trump said. There was no consistent thread or argument to his ramblings, aside from his own supposed greatness. It was pure stream of consciousness, supplemented by factoids apparently printed on notes on his lectern. He claimed to be the defender of African Americans at one moment because he favors school choice, but then slipped into attacking low-income housing and saying he’d preserve the suburbs — an unsubtle code for protecting white neighborhoods. https://www.alternet.org/2020/07/trump-stuns-observers-as-his-press-conference-goes-off-the-deep-end-self-destruction-of-the-president/

Its a very unfortunate situation for the finances of my individuals and owners as well. When it comes to rookie compensation we need to understand also that 8 out 9 of them will be making at least one playoff check because it sounds like this proposal is based on an expanded playoffs. It will suck for rookies no doubt. However, many rookies in the past have been willing to come home with nothing and just sit on the practice roster in hopes of getting an opportunity in the future and I don't think there will be a max exodus of rookies should this proposal go through. Those who don't want to come and play for that I think we can all respect that and they can ask for their release. However, they will have no problems filling those vacancies with other rookies who also have upside.

The only thing better is our Grey Cup win.

The 6-game plan is just not going to work... CFL needs half a season (12 weeks and then 3 weeks for playoffs) but training camp would have to start early/mid-August and the CFL/CFLPA would need to agree to a plan by the end of this week basically. As usual, instead of just making a basic sensible plan - CFL leadership is all over the charts I mean why exactly would the teams have to quarantine for the whole season when there's a western Canada travel bubble in existence and each province is re-opening in Phases? Makes zero sense... quarantine for two weeks on arrival and then test the players after each game (one day quarantine)...

I want to say I listened to that game on CJOB while camping at Big Whiteshell, but I'm not 100% sure. One of the greatest shames in pro sports is that there is no video of that game, other than a CKND highlight pack. I don't even think CJOB has the logger tapes from that night. Man oh man, what a shame.

That was a fun game to be at... crowd was nuts

How fantastic is it that we have beaten the Riders in their barn the past two playoffs?

“Making that decision and pulling the trigger to come up to Winnipeg right away, just trusting my gut and my instincts, it really paid off.

You could see it in his body language and mannerism. And, you could see it in his teammates. He spread that enthusiasm throughout the roster.If we never see him again, we can look back on the time he was with us, and be thankful, because he was ours.Grey Cup 2019. Remembered always!

Fun fact: The New England Patriots trademarked the phrases "19-0" and "Perfect season" before playing (and losing) the 2008 Superbowl.

Do or Die's exclusive interview with President Trump Do or Die: So just how did that cognitive testing go? President Trump: "The doctors, now these were big men, with tremendous hands ....they all said 'Mr. President, sir... We've never seen anyone pick out a picture of a elephant, as quickly as you did in the history of testing. Truly, it's like nothing ever seen before. Verily, you are without a doubt, the most brilliant and intellectual president that ever existed - you must surely know more about virtually everything, than anyone else. They said this with tears running down their faces. So many tears, believe me. It's because I have good genes, the best genes. Those kind of amazing unheard of genes. As far as the fake media, and crazed Democrats talking about my being stable - just watch me drink this little cup of water --- with one hand!

They should just get rid of anthems before games.
