do or die

You mean al la James McCord? That would bring back some memories

I see good ole Carter Page was keeping busy during the GOP Convention, talking to the Russians, about Ukraine. Perhaps the question now is.... Which Trump advisors, in any...... were NOT in regular communication with the Russians?

The New Yorker? Bah, Leftist effete rag, read by pinkos, immigrants, swamp dwellers, and Hollywood actors....... Just kidding - a very sage and stylish publication, that I have been reading for years. Pretty good article.

The assertions that Mr. Kislyak works for our security apparatus, or is some sort of spy, is patently absurd, and simply anti-Russian propaganda. Sincerely, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin Former Head, KGB

Sessions had no choice. The spectacle of Sessions investigating Sessions.....would not help the already shady optics, round this whole Russian thing.... As I pointed out above.....there are lot of people connected with Trump, politically and otherwise....with some sort or form of back door connections to the Putin "administration" Given the politically sensitive nature of the people and titles involved (Campaign Manager, US Attorney General, and National Security advisor, etc ) as well as the time frame of the various conversations - some answers are clearly needed......soon.

Well, this administration has already compiled an impressive record.....of mis-truths, serial lying, deflections, and Trumped up facts......in a single month.

Started looking, a while back at this Russian business. Interesting cast of characters, alright..... General Michael Flynn Acknowledged Russia-phobe, who was paid to attend the RT (Russian Today) 10th anniversary gala in December 2015. RT is directly controlled and funded by the Kremlin, used as a propaganda tool - whitewashing both domestic oppression and military aggression by the Russian state. Flynn was forced to resign, after FBI investigations into his conversations with the Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak , who both current and former US intelligence officials have described as a top spy and recruiter of spies, led to a official Justice Department warning to the White House about the possibility of Flynn being compromised or ever the target of Russian blackmail. The Trump administration maintained that Flynn - who as NSA is one of the few people with unfettered access to the President 24/7 .......acted alone in some kind of "rogue" fashion. We now know that Trump and other officials were briefed on the Justice Dept. warning, 3 weeks before Flynn left. Paul Manifort Trump campaign manager, with extensive lobbying history overseas, particularly in the Ukraine, where he represented pro-Russian interests. Manifort resigned, while being investigated by the National Security Agency Some of his contacts there were under surveillance by the NSA for suspected links to Russia’s Federal Security Service. Carter Page Ex-foreign policy adviser to Trump, who was scrutinized by the FBI for private communications with senior Russian officials over the summer Page was previously an advisor on several major transactions. Mr. Page’s extensive business links in Russia prompted suggestions that he might be serving Mr. Trump as a back channel liaison, with senior Kremlin officials. Page also made a speech that criticized the United States and other Western nations for a “hypocritical focus on ideas such as democratization, inequality, corruption and regime change” in Russia and in other parts of the former Soviet Union. Richard Burt Ex-US ambassador to Germany, was drafting a Trump foreign policy speech in April, while earning hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying for a Russian- backed gas pipeline that would extend Putin’s leverage over Europe. Burt advises the owners of Russia’s Alfa Group, one of Russia's largest privately owned investment groups,w who have close Kremlin ties. President Donald Trump Built extensive financial links to Russia. After a number of bankruptcies, Trump’s empire was facing collapse and North American banks were refusing him credit. Luckily for him, several institutions with Russian connections stepped in to help bail him out. (through a particularly shady German bank) Has a close relationship to Bayrock, a real estate development company backed with Russian money and linked to bribery, racketeering, money laundering, and the Russian mob. Donald has publicly praised Putin and defended his policies, including downplaying the bombing campaign in Syria and the invasion of Ukraine. Once nominated, the only change Trump made to the Republican Party platform was to remove a promise to support Ukraine against Russia. He has continually attacked American allies like Germany and the EU, and of course, criticized NATO as “obsolete.” More stuff on the Russian linkages, from the Financial Times https://ig.ft.com/sites/trumps-russian-connections/ It may not stink....but it sure smells.

If anything, Richards has a golden opportunity here this year....to carve himself out some playing time.

Dump Staff, get a pick...open up a slot for a younger guy with upside. About as expected.

No excuses this year. We have virtually nothing in front of him.

So we are on the cusp.....

"Lets play how far we can drop out of the wild card race after the bye?"

On two of the goals, last nite.....Buff simply went into happy wanderer mode, yet again. Buff's total lack of awareness, in our end....almost negates the other things he can do. Terrible decision making......even on the PP this year. Huge disappointment, all right

Truth is that after JM and Trouba.....this D is junk. Won't say much about the goaltending, because we have none.....

Like to get our paws on Vandervoort. Crying area of need....

Perhaps Miller can pay me to keep an eye on Nasty's shop.......perhaps even more than Lyle did.....

For years the marketing, game experience, fan relations, etc....has been somewhat of a joke. Miller is not perfect, but I seen enough efforts/improvement... made in that direction to be somewhat satisfied. Also am a real big fan of this concept of running a Canadian Football League club.....with Canadians in charge from top to bottom.

Glaring hole at CDN receiver.....

Reality is that logic and gin.....can only take you so far.

.....and CFL Forums provides the proof. Tried to reason with him, for a while on RF.....but simply no go.

Vince Young has a plan.... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...e-great-again/

If I had seen that earlier......might not of joined up....

It wasn't a intelligence failure in any way, shape or form. The "patriots" around ole straw man Dubya,.....like Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz pushed and pushed, until they got what they wanted, alright - advance their particular brand of right wing ideology, under the guise of bringing "democracy" to the Iraqi people...and feathering their own nests, at the same time., in a completely unjustified and illegal war. Forged documents, misinformation to the legislative branch, phony NSA briefings, muzzling of concerned military men, and flat out lying in every direction.....whatever it took to get the job done - dragging America into a useless war and disastrous occupation. The ringmaster was **** Cheney. Bunch of war criminals, pure and simple. People still don't understand just how dangerous these neo-conservative types can be, given enough power and influence........

....only after collecting bonuses.....

A few Republican legislators....are feeling the heat these days. Some of them are attempting to deflect or simply run away..... Concepts like "Repeal ObamaCare", "Build a Wall", "Make America safe" etc.......are nice soundbites - but there are effects and consequences for people who pay taxes and need medical coverage. Also areas with sizeable racial groups and immigrant populations have their own questions about what the Repubs, really have in mind. Some of the grassroots.... are probably beginning to suspect....... that they have been had.
