  1. I read that Bush has been calling around, whipping senators for Kav.
  2. He always does.
  3. It's obvious that the GOP believes Ford and they need to get Kav confirmed without an investigation.
  4. Trump has found a judge who will protect him when the law comes down on him. Trump needs Kav on SCOTUS.
  5. Yup. He went drinking with several guys that Dr. Ford said were there. Yet, no questions. This process is so morally bankrupt just like the administration.
  6. I'm going to have to explain to my sons what Soundwave is.
  7. They're doing it pro-bono. I laughed when I read that! Silly Senators, they should know the answers to the questions before they ask.
  8. I guess they were hoping she would say, "George Soros".
  9. Yes, and it's great. Lots to choose from. Maybe better than the LC (Grant Park) now for single can selection. I haven't really compared for scientific purposes. The back is a bit confusing and hard to find stuff. But I'll get used to it.
  10. I don't think they care if Kav did it. Boys being boys. Nothingburger.
  11. Didn't Graham lead the call for Clinton to be impeached over sexual misconduct?
  12. Again, I will repeat, the purpose of writing off the debt will be to fund repairs and maintenance. There is currently no budget to do so. So, unless the Province wants a facility that is inoperable, this was a necessary move. Alternatively, they could take on the responsibility of funding repairs and maintenance themselves, which this government is not interested in doing. The burden will now be the Bombers/Triple B. They will be expected to maintain the facility. The original plan did not include a component of ongoing maintenance.
  13. They will talk about the Democrats. They will not talk about the validity of Ford's testimony.
  14. I think it has heaps of potential. I like what they've done with the reboot, although the twisted timeline still feels odd. I want this to work because not all X-Men stuff has. I guess, most has not. But some has! Some has... It's just Jean without Logan feels odd. He's saved her so many times.
  15. The "Target" debt was written off before. The unrealized tax revenue from that deal will haunt the province/city for years to come. It will haunt future projects financed this was as well. Departments do not carry debt. Surpluses and deficits are cleared each fiscal year. The debt is on government itself. What was never cash flowed was the ongoing maintenance of the facility. The Bombers/Triple B would be able to maintain their mortgage payments but there would be no funds to maintain the building. That was unsustainable. This solution provides relief but also will transfer the burden to Triple B and ultimately the Bombers. It gives the Bombers a break because it allows all parties to start looking and planning for the future. The "debt" being written off is actually a receivable. The Province will continue to service the long term debt it owes for building the facility.
  16. Jean Grey without Logan feels weird.
  17. He appeals to a lot of defective, not very smart Americans.
  18. This is all on the previous government.
  19. The thing that won't told to the common bystander though is that this agreement was always going to fail. The Bombers were able to make their payments to Triple B. Triple B was able to make the loan payment to the Government. The Bombers and Triple B would NEVER be able to afford the maintenance and repairs on the facility and it was never considered in the agreement. I've seen lots of people yelling at the Bombers on social media and at this current government. It was all in the design of the original agreement. It was doomed to fail.
  20. Chairot is definitely nice to have around. I trust him quite a bit but I don't disagree with your views on Morrow and Poolman. If it were up to me, I would send Poolman down right now to get the playing time with the Moose but should be the first call up and right into the starting line-up if there is an injury.
  21. How do you defend this type of attitude? Why would you do this to your children?
  22. I think this table is worth posting. Look at that middle-income gain for Republicans. Incredible. Of course, when the crash comes, they will be the hardest hit. They're probably quite happy with the bubble now. Republican Party Gains Ground Among Those With Republican Views Percent with favorable view of each party, September 2017 and September 2018 Republican Party Democratic Party Sep 2017 Sep 2018 Sep 2017 Sep 2018 % % % % All adults 36 45 44 44 Party ID Republicans plus leaners 67 85 13 11 Democrats plus leaners 10 10 80 80 Gender Men 37 50 40 41 Women 35 40 49 48 Annual Household Income Less than $30,000 34 40 46 51 $30,000-$74,999 36 49 46 45 $75,000 and above 35 39 45 46
  23. I would love to see the MSNBC coverage that made Trump out to be worse than Hitler. That would be something to behold. I did see Fox News edit Trump's speech to the UN yesterday to not show the part where the world leaders laughed at him. That was in keeping with state media mantra.
  24. Right, but the rationale will be that Triple B will need this money to pay for the maintenance, repairs and future upgrades. Recently, the Bombers have been profitable and making their payments, which means that Triple B has been making theirs. But, nothing is being reinvested, which will lead to issues down the road. I wouldn't be surprised to see them also forgive the loan to Triple B.
  25. This, to me, is good news. Somehow I've managed to miss EJ on tour before and he was definitely on my must see list. I was considering going to Minneapolis or Chicago to see him.
