    this person who worked with clinton, says the old guard democrats have failed, and should step aside, to detroy the Republican party. "today's Democrats need to evolve, becoming "scorched-earth Democrats" who will burn today's Republican Party and its policies to the ground, offering no quarter or compromise..." "But without accountability, there will be another Donald Trump. There will be another Bill Barr. We, the American people, will live in a world in which, if the president wins and has a majority in the Senate, the message will be clear: They are above the law. You can break the law. You can ignore subpoenas. You can ignore statutes. You can ignore norms. You can steal. You can work with our enemies. You can screw the American people. You can violate human rights on the border. You can throw children in cages. And you can do all that with complete impunity. If there is no accountability for the president and his party, then there will ultimately be no democracy in the United States. "Should Donald Trump be prosecuted for crimes he's committed while president or before being president? Yes. Should members of his cabinet? Should members of his staff? Should members of the Senate and Congress who took money, who violated the law, who violated ethics guidelines, who adhered, aided and abetted to foreign powers? Yes! It has to happen. If it does not happen, regardless of how big a majority the Democrats win the election by, we will see such criminal behavior again because there will be a precedent. At some point in the future a president will say, "Look what Trump did. He didn't get held to account." Look at how they quashed the investigation into the truth of Trump's obstruction of justice, which was there for all to see and which Mueller detailed. Or Trump's collusion with the Russians, or his cooperation with other foreign dictators. It will happen again. https://www.salon.com/2020/11/03/former-clintonite-david-rothkopf-on-how-biden-and-the-democrats-can-redeem-themselves/

    It's West Semi-Final Week!! We've got Calgary in Calgary this Sunday afternoon. Call me crazy, but I just have a really good feeling that with a healthy Zach Collaros, we've got a shot in this thing. If Streveler is healthy enough to run some short yardage packages, it'll help, but having Collaros starting, we've absolutely got a shot. Weather is cold, but should be a good day for football. Can't wait for Sunday!!!!!!

    Yeah I ran into that problem on a Thursday a while back- My youngest was sick, so My wife and I took both our kids and made a day out of it. We had a Covid test day and then had a long weekend. Sorry about your inconvenience- it sucks, I know. But know that, I (and I am sure a lot of others) really appreciate you being responsible, considerate of other people and an all around good egg. Thanks dude!

    Covid-19

    So, my kid woke up with a sore throat and runny nose on Monday, and given then new guidelines that means our entire family has to self isolate until his test results come back. The timeline I was given is 2-4 days. I am sorry but that is insane. Either a) both my kids miss a week of school and our work lives are disrupted because one of them has a cold, or b) 4 days from now we have to trace our steps to notify recent contacts they might have been exposed to covid over a week ago. Neither of these is acceptable. Until test results are available same day, you are going to have parents and caregivers ignoring the rules because it is just not sustainable. Upside is I get to watch my largely healthy kids fight over the Playstation while I try to listen to a Teams call.

    Donald Trump is not an aberration- he is the natural progression that began with Richard Nixon, and continued through the regimes of Ronald Reagan and GW Bush right up into Trump. Trump is more American than not, a distillation of all that is ugly about America. Fascism was rife in the US in the 1930's, supported by the "Christian" right and public figures such as Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh. They fought long and hard to keep the US neutral in WW2, which would probably have meant an eventual Nazi victory, which was what they wanted. Prescott Bush laundered Nazi wealth into the oilfields of Texas and Oklahoma, creating a dynasty out of the blood money. https://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/a0NGGOX_460svvp9.webm This will not be over for a very long time, if ever. The only way this sort of thing (Trump) will not re-surface for along time is if there is a parade to the courts and jails for all those who thumbed theirs noses at the law and decency and those who aided and abetted them, It would be an act of cowardice if Trump is pardoned and allowed to keep his ill-gotten gains, but an abcess has to be lanced in order to heal properly.

    Deutsche Bank may have to close or at least dramatically restructure because they are not going to get a lot of their money back from Trump, as he overvalued his properties for lien purposes, and that is fraud. It seems like he bribed or dramatically misled one or two senior executives in the commercial loans section. Deutsche Bank is deeply embarrassed to be exposed over their degree of complicity/stupidity/gullibility and the only way they will be able to salvage anything (credibility or funds) is to move on Trump as quickly as possible ahead of other creditors, including Russian and Chinese. Trump apparently signed personal guarantees for many of his loans, so he stand to lose most, if not all of his personal assets that he has not hidden or transferred to his sons. Gonna be interesting.

    So much voter suppression, it's hard to call it a democracy. The Second World despot will claim victory and stop counting. The Supreme Court, packed with some of the least qualified justices in history, will make it so. It's going to be violent and it's going to be messy. Build the wall.

    What country allows certain States to allow people to go around with guns in hand during an election, I'm sorry but I can't get my head around the fact that wannabe Navy Seals are going to be at election locations gunned up looking like they need to take a dump, so easy so one of they to get a little trigger happy and then we get to hear the thought and prayers shtick.

    It will have to be done through the courts. It's clear that Biden will win PA in votes and he will carry WI and MN. Trump's only path back to the White House is through the Supreme Court, tossing aside hundreds of thousands of votes. But, I think that there are too many states in play. I think the sheer overwhelming number of Electoral College votes that Biden will earn tonight will make it very clear that Trump intends to steal the election. That's why I predict a lot of violence. People will be out protesting the voter suppression and Trump's militia armies will be terrorizing them with the help of the police.

    I agree. It's an impossible situation. I'm thankful my work situation allows me to be flexible but this is not the case for most. And, for those that need to work to get paid and need to be paid to keep up with the bills, this is a disaster. But, let's blame alcohol and drugs for the government's inability to address the problems and react in a crisis.
