WTF are you on about today????

You are "both siding" this? In the USA, there is one party that stands for democracy and one that is trying to systematically dismantle the american republic... you can't "both sides" this thing.

WTAF is this all about? Why on Earth would Biden get impeached? I mean, other than the INSANITY that is today's GQP. I have not seen anything credible to conclude that this will happen or is even merited. Wait... unless you are talking about spaceforce...

Whatever works in the cesspool that is American politics. It's a gong show, and it isn't just a gong show on the right. The left has culpability in it as well and you will never convince me otherwise. It is gross and it is trickling into Canadian politics as well. Sad state of affairs. Extreme partisanship has taken over.

Offensive Guard Nick Benjamin. (1961-2007). Played with the Bombers from 1989-93. Grey Cup champion 1990. RIP Nick.

Yeah Bill Maher is an insufferable prick, butnhe was bang on when he said that America has a fine right wing party, the Democrats. They just don't have a left wing party.

Yes, the more both sides can polarize each side against each other, the more it keeps the American people focused on that enemy. And not how the elite and wealthy continue to enrich their own pockets at the cost of the average and poor.

That, also 600, 000 sealed indictments!

I recoil at the thought of the Democrats being considered "left". They are to the left of the GOP but no where on the left of the political spectrum.

Good point! Add to that the 147 Democrats in congress that tried to overturn the election by voting against cert.... wait- sorry my mistake republicans... Yeah, not the same. You legit have one party that is actively trying to destroy democracy.

It's all gaslighting. You know it is and you know why they do it.

On this I agree. If the Democrats had fielded any kind of a candidate that connected with people then a narcissistic ,lieing , womanizing, failed businessman would never have been elected in the 1st place

The GOP are not the only ones whose hands are soiled by Russian rubles. Looks like old smokin' Joe will be looking at impeachment too. How sad for the USA that they will have back to back impeached presidents. They really need to get better people running over there.

I think he's "whatabouting" the war crimes. Also, interesting read here:

Benjamin was voted the dirtiest player in the league by his peers in a player poll when he was with Ottawa. Once ran downfield 30 years on an interception return for a touchdown to spear a Bomber blocker who was on the ground out of bounds, earned him a suspension. When he got traded to Winnipeg in 1989 he actually was somewhat afraid to walk into the dressing room and face a few defensive players he knew he had knowingly taken cheap shots at, unsure how they might react if he offered to explain himself. As soon as he entered the dressing room, Ty Jones and James West walked right up to him and West said “Look, we don’t want to talk about things you have done in the past against us. You are our teammate now, so that stuff stays buried. We have your back now, just like we expect you to have ours.”

Trump supporters put faith in "Space Force" to overturn 2020 election Supporters of Donald Trump are voicing insane conspiracy theories ahead of his Saturday rally in Michigan. The "opening prayer" for the rally was delivered by a conspiracy theorist who falsely claimed Trump is the "current" president of the United States. One Trump supporter interviewed by Right Side Broadcasting Network said that the Space Force is part of efforts to return Trump to power in a bizarre QAnon rant caught on camera. "The election, I believe, was stolen," said a woman with an America flag draped over her shoulders. "But we know that, Space Force has it all, Trump has all the information, it's going to be overturned," the woman claimed. "What do you think Space Force has?" the interviewer asked. "Space Force is a military branch, you know, just like the Army, you know, all the military. And they literally...the night of the election they literally watched the election be stolen. They watermarked the ballots, they know exactly what happened with every ballot," she said. "They know what countries were involved, they followed the money, they know what every every politician that's been paid off." "There was 260,00 — 269,000 sealed indictments, but I think it might even be up to 500,000 sealed indictments. And I believe that we're going to have an emergency broadcast and the military is going to come in with martial law and we're going to be shown, 8-hours on, 8-hours off, of videos for seven days — the world. And they're going to be showing us taped tribunals, taped confessions, and the world is going to be awakened to what's really going on with the deep state," she claimed. https://www.salon.com/2022/04/03/supporter-puts-faith-in-space-force-to-overturn-2020_partner/

And now, the accessory all pro sports commissioners need. For those cold winter nights or cool spring & fall days after hours of negotiating CBA's or 4 down football. Or if they just want to disappear in a corner somewhere in a big ball after a bad day.

Putin Was Incensed Russian Troops Weren't Welcomed With Flowers In Ukraine, Says Oligarch. He went "insane," said Mikhail Khodorkovsky, one-time CEO of Russian oil giant Yukos. Russian President Vladimir Putin was so out of touch with reality when he launched the Ukraine invasion that he was incensed his troops weren’t welcomed with flowers, an exiled Russian oligarch revealed Sunday. “At first he wanted to change the power in Kyiv ... and was expecting that this would be met with flowers thrown in the streets by Ukrainian people,” Mikhail Khodorkovsky, onetime CEO of Russian oil giant Yukos, said on CNN. But when Ukrainians fought back as the invasion was launched, Putin went “insane,” said Khodorkovsky, an outspoken Putin critic who spent nine years in a Russian prison. “The fact that the people in Kharkiv [also failed to] meet him with flowers, it not only just angered him, I really think it drove him literally insane. That’s when he started bombing Kharkiv and Kyiv,” Khodorkovsky said. Former Russian Deputy Energy Minister Vladimir Milov told CNN on Saturday that the surprising war in Ukraine has “devastated” top officials in the Kremlin and that many “Russian elites” may lose faith in Putin. That’s risky for Putin, who could be forced from power in a matter of months, he warned. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mikhail-khodorkovsky-putin-ukraine-troop-flowers_n_624a29c5e4b0587dee6aff1f

Yesterday I posted a longish article by an American Political History professor that was an excellent description of the current US political climate- "A Blueprint For The Next American Civil War". Worth a read.

Been warning us for years. starting to look like we are going to leave it till too late. just read..... Gulf Stream (as predicted) slowing down. When that happens... Look out europe. "Never before in over 1000 years the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), also known as Gulf Stream System, has been as weak as in the last decades. This is the result of a new study by scientists from Ireland, Britain and Germany. The researchers compiled so-called proxy data, taken mainly from natural archives like ocean sediments or ice cores, reaching back many hundreds of years to reconstruct the flow history of the AMOC. They found consistent evidence that its slowdown in the 20th century is unprecedented in the past millennium" https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/02/210225113357.htm @blue_gold_84.

He'll the democrats aren't even all that much pro democracy. They are still bought and paid for by the wealthy elite. That's what the both sides is. The wealth playing both sides against each other to ensure they get even richer.

To each his own. I prefer it to WWE. There is a lot of what you said shows you don't watch it at all so.

Yes, Biden should be criticized for ummm... **checks notes** being a "Democrat"? Yeah, that sounds like the state of the right these days. No ideas, nothing but fear and hate mongering. Sounds like a real "both sides" issue, there.

Other than crazy Republicans talking their usual nonsense, why would Biden be impeached?

This should trend!

I agree. Most people's commitment to acting on their beliefs is largely driven by how convenient it is to do so.

Some say Gretzky, some now say Ovechkin, another generation would have pointed to Hull or Richard, but to me (and to Gretzky himself) the greatest pure goal scorer in NHL history was and still is Mike Bossy. His .762 goals per game average is the all-time best (that’s an average of 62 goals a year in an 82 game season). Bossy has been fighting lung cancer for a few years now, and has terminated his treatment and has gone home to live his likely very few remaining days in palliative care. Here is a piece he wrote about talking to his 14 year old self as a 60 year old. Send a prayer his way. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/articles/letter-to-my-younger-self-mike-bossy

Left Tackle Frank Rigney #67.

Is it possible to abandon something that you never possessed?

Randy's Roadshow is due to hit the Peg Tuesday Apr 12. Hopefully he can make it as I was planning on attending.

First this: Then this: These ******* monsters.... Also, was anyone else as cynical as I was when they were showing the russian mobile crematorium? All I could think when I saw that was, "Those aren't just to hide russian casualties... mother fuckers are going to use them to hide ******* war crimes."

Spam! Spam! Spam! Spam! Spam!!...

did people think we'd beat Buffalo? and the Goldeyes

I think based on the empty seats in every city when there's a CFL game, Lalji's response might be, "Why not??" People aren't coming out to watch anyway.

For a brief period, he looked like Warren Moon 2.0....it was just very short lived.

Most of society is a long way from being prepared for these changes. We are all clinging to those beliefs, to some extent. No one is exempt from this, it is the fabric of our current society.

When we were living just south of Alberta, High River experienced its fourth catastrophic flood since 1950, each one worse than the last, with the last one creating horrendous property damage and taking the lives of three people immediately and many more later. Apparently each of the preceding floods was met with the identical response from the provincial government. First, politicians toured the area, wringing their hands and making promises to ensure this would never happen again. A committee was struck and disappeared from public view shortly thereafter. Months later, a report was issued detailing the causes and costs to correct them. The government made somber statements that the report would be given full consideration, and more months passed. Eventually, the minister responsible declared that this was a once-in-a-lifetime event , was terribly expensive to prevent it happening again but would be watched closely. Then the government shelved the report and retreated into a comatose state, refusing to answer any further questions as the whole thing was ancient history. We humans seem constitutionally incapable of learning from past mistakes.

The thinking goes - if we had fires and floods in the past, there's no way they could be caused by humans in any way. We see this logic in "the earth has always gone through periods of warming and cooling - this isn't caused by humans" Unfortunately people in power use this to prevent efforts to help with climate change. Really low-level thinking that I'm pretty sure is intentionally blinding at times (people cling to beliefs when reality means they have personal responsibility and their way of life needs to change) and is definitely used as propaganda.

Job depends on it = Head in sand. Also..... many people are simply not very smart. Alberta has had its share..... has no impact. Oil company propaganda is very effective. 2016 Sweeping through Fort McMurray, the wildfire destroyed approximately 2,400 homes and buildings. Another 2,000 residents in three communities were displaced after their homes were declared unsafe for reoccupation due to contamination. The fire continued to spread across northern Alberta and into Saskatchewan,[15]consuming forested areas and impacting Athabasca oil sands operations. With an estimated damage cost of C$9.9 billion, it was the costliest disaster in Canadian history. The fire spread across approximately 590,000 hectares (1,500,000 acres) before it was declared to be under control on July 5, 2016. It continued to smoulder, and was fully extinguished on August 2, 2017 And.... 2013 In the days leading up to June 19, 2013, Alberta, Canada, experienced heavy rainfall that triggered catastrophic flooding described by the provincial government as the worst in Alberta's history. Areas along the Bow, Elbow, Highwood, Red Deer, Sheep, Little Bow, and South Saskatchewan rivers and their tributaries were particularly affected. A total of 32 states of local emergencywere declared[5] and 28 emergency operations centres were activated[6] as water levels rose and numerous communities were placed under evacuation orders.[7] you might think that two such events in three years would sink in, but ..... nope. "we will rebuild" . Till we are broke.

Nobody's saying at this point, and CoD really doesn't matter. We've lost one of the all time greats. Imagine the confidence it takes to be a drummer in Dave Grohl's band....??? The balls on that guy. And he was incredible. If you needed it soft and finesse-y, or full on' wailin', he could give you everything. Fell down a YouTube rabbit hole last night and ended up watching their show from Wembley that they've got posted online. God, I love the Foo....and Hawkins was such a key cog.

I agree but the problem with the CFL is the people that have caused all the problems are the ones put in charge to fix it. Which they can't do. Someone like Victor Cui should be running this league & Randy Ambrosie should be a team president, at best. The wrong people are in place.
