do or die

I feel your pain...

Stranger than fiction..... The spin on the "transcript" that totally clears Trump.....according to Daily Caller and Breitbart is something else, as well

Ole Rudy is now running around, saying that all his actions in this Ukraine thing.....were with the knowledge and sanction of the State Department. In short, throwing Mike Pompeo under the bus.

....making straw hats, with the money going directly into Trump family accounts......

Or, to be fair....they would just be exiled to a sh---ole country.

Been reading the transcript of the whistle blower complaint - a number of things stick out: 1. Ukraine was pressured to play ball on Trump's Biden request “Multiple U.S. officials” had told him or her that a phone call or meeting between Trump and Zelensky “would depend on whether Zelensky showed willingness to ‘play ball.’” At this point, it was “made clear” to Ukrainian officials that Trump did not want to meet Zelensky “until he saw how Zelensky ‘chose to act’ in office.” The complaint twice uses that phrase, in the second instance referring to the fact that a planned May 2019 trip to Ukraine by Vice President Mike Pence to attend Zelensky’s inauguration was cancelled after Trump “instructed” Pence not to go. Energy Secretary Rick Perry went instead. 2. The money (aid) was used as leverage Ukrainian officials knew U.S. aid could be in jeopardy. No-one disputes that around $400 million in aid that Congress had voted to supply to Ukraine was delayed by the administration. But the complaint affirms prior media reporting that Trump had at one point ordered the suspension of U.S. “security assistance” to Ukraine. The complaint notes two specific dates, July 23 and July 26, when officials from the Office and Management and Budget allegedly “stated explicitly that the instruction to suspend this assistance had come directly from the President, but they still were unaware of a policy rationale.” 3. Uncle Rudy was knee deep in it. Rudy Giuliani, has already acknowledged pressing Ukraine to investigate the Bidens. The whistle blower alleges that “multiple U.S. officials” were “deeply concerned by what they viewed as Mr. Giuliani’s circumvention of national security decision-making processes to engage with Ukrainian officials and relay messages back and forth between Kyiv and the President.” 4. White House engaged in a cover up The White House sought to hide the word-for-word transcript of the July 25th phone call with Zelensky,. This took the form of removing the “electronic transcript” of the call from the computer system where such transcripts would usually be stored and transferring it to a separate, more secure and more restricted system. (cover up) Other transcripts involving Trump had been placed into a secure system, for political reasons rather than because of legitimate national security concerns. Those officials said it was “not the first time” that transcripts had been placed into a “codeword-level” system — and that this had been done “solely for the purpose of protecting politically sensitive rather than national security sensitive — information.”

Also, a Senate delegation led by Barry Goldwater marched into the Oval Office....and flat out told Nixon, that he would be impeached in the Senate, period. Of course, that was when Republicans on the Hill, actually had some balls.....

Da Boss is upset. Intelligence agency actually acting on intelligence, to reveal threat to American interests...... Meanwhile Graham finds it imperative to finger the squealer. But not imperative, of course to find out exactly, the full scope of this dismal affair, or to have anyone else know anything about it. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/463220-lindsey-graham-imperative-we-find-out-which-white-house-official-talked-to Back in the good ole days: But, to be fair, this statement was made a long time ago.....before he found his Orange Lord.

How can you be "Canadian Mafia" and "nice guys" at the same time? Conundrum.

Problem is making needed adjustments on both sides of the ball, later in games. We have seen this even in games we have won. Not just this year either......there is a pattern, here. You can also throw in some playoff games, as well.

Didn't get the D stop on that either...

Yup, if this continues

The coordinators are a bigger problem.....

I'm shaken, but not stirred....

I trust, that at this point....the Bombers can proceed without any further slaps or blows to the head. Absolutely no excuse for it now, moving forward.....none.

Well, with that guy.... honour and integrity, left town some time ago. Just another Trump flunky, these days.

Bad as it is.....they released this "transcript" (which is not an verbatim account) in order to shape the public narrative ahead of the whistleblower report. Shades of Barr, with his "summary" of the Mueller Report. Barr and Uncle Rudy, are also in the cross hairs, as Trump is talking to the Pres, about working this deal, through both of them. His personal lawyer, and the Attorney General of the United States This business stinks to high heaven. Which in retrospect..... is merely the usual Trump standard.

Would do well to remember, that we have seen (coaching)..... the exact same crap, in a number of games, that we managed to win....

We went through this before.......against the ole Edmonton dynasty

There is something about simply keeping intensity and focus, on the job at hand.

Who cares about parsing this statement or that? The deal is actually doing something about the situation.....like quit retreating into a pathetic shell, and blowing games late. This nonsense has got to stop, and the responsibility starts from MOS on down.

You would of seen the ole 2004-5 meltdown mode.

Three times, we have lost a game, where the opposition starts on a long field, and drives right down for the winning score, with 10 seconds or less to go. If anybody wishes to chastise me for being angry and critical of this.....have at it. Just an hour ago, two people saw my Bomber shopping bag, coming out of MEC.....and wanted to talk about the weekend choke job.

Also in that era, R. Wickman and a couple of other D players on OB, saying that they really didn't know what was going on. Irving was somewhat speechless, at that point

Fooled them again....
