  1. frightening interview at salon of an expert on genocide, about where they are at in America. now trump praising the January 6th criminals. one guy turned a country into a madhouse.
  2. I will be surprised if this lawyer doesn't find himself in front of the Law Society Discipline committee. This is American style crap, we don't need this stuff here. really awful. Apology isn't going to cut it.
  3. clusterphobia?
  4. special teams expert / head coach.
  5. Bipartisan Joe Biden and climate https://gizmodo.com/bipartisanship-is-climate-denial-1847211362 "The backslapping bipartisan we’ve seen does not offer up transformational change. Biden’s opening bid of $2 trillion for infrastructure already lacked the money to meet the moment. The bipartisan version is a shell of that already inadequate policy push. Biden’s plan included $174 billion for electric vehicles. The bipartisan plan offers $15 billion. The American Jobs Plan had $85 billion earmarked for public transit. The Joe Manchin-Bill Cassidy special offers $48.5 billion. The only areas where the two bills are roughly on par are related to highways and airports, both of which lock in decades of more carbon pollution. The idea that the ideal policy position to address climate change sits squarely between left and right is like saying the best place between the edge of a cliff and thin air 10 feet out is 5 feet beyond the brink. Choose the middle ground, and you will still fall to your death." corporate Joe, with another bill written by Exxon. Don't think he's going to get away with this crap this time.

  8. water? amateur. " Y ASSOCIATED PRESS | JULY 9, 2021 AT 10:41 AM UPDATED: JULY 9, 2021 AT 7:16 PM GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) — A Wyoming rancher who was pinned by an all-terrain vehicle survived on beer and bottled water for two days. Frank Reynolds, 53, was trying to round up a cow and calf on a neighbor’s pasture outside Gillette when the vehicle tipped over on him Sunday, Reynolds told the Gillette News Record. “It was scary as hell is what it was,” Reynolds said Wednesday from a hospital room." @Trackerread about the war in Iraq, us troops in air conditioned quarters, former Soviet pilots flying for a contractor doing resupplying transport slept in hammocks slung from plane wings. fingers crossed afganistan is the last American overseas invasion.too much **** on their plate to do another one. mind you they sure move on quickly from their messes.
  9. I actually think speedlex and tburg both have good input.... sure the burgman is a bit negative, but pretty solid in his points. "pithy" no pun intended.😎 I was negative when they brought in colllaros. due to injury history. speed, certainly knows far more than I do about the game. the back and forth is good too. flex.... ipad keyboard is not for me. speedlex....
  10. "punching above their weight" "But the evangelicals who thought they were about to take over America were destined for disappointment. On Thursday, P.R.R.I. released startling new polling data showing just how much ground the religious right has lost. P.R.R.I.’s 2020 Census of American Religion, based on a survey of nearly half a million people, shows a precipitous decline in the share of the population identifying as white evangelical, from 23 percent in 2006 to 14.5 percent last year. (As a category, “white evangelicals” isn’t a perfect proxy for the religious right, but the overlap is substantial.) nyt Theres a netflix doc called The Family about the influence of evangelicals in american gubmint. have not watched it, out of fear. the right is far more determine and ruthless than the left. much more money behind it probably.
  11. here are he of the odd names stats "Balthazar is traditionally referred to as the King of Macedonia and gave the gift of myrrh to Jesus. In the Roman Catholic Church, he is regarded as a saint " https://www.statscrew.com/football/stats/p-bethemcl001 he didnt play a down in the NFL
  12. western North America heatwave "Never in the century-plus history of world weather observation have so many all-time heat records fallen by such a large margin than in the past week’s historic heat wave in western North America. The only heat wave that close is the great Dust Bowl heat wave of July 1936 in the U.S. Midwest and south-central Canada. But even that cannot compare to what happened in the Northwest U.S. and western Canada over the past week. “This is the most anomalous regional extreme heat event to occur anywhere on Earth since temperature records began. Nothing can compare,” said weather historian Christopher Burt, author of the book “Extreme Weather.” Pointing to Lytton, Canada, he added, “There has never been a national heat record in a country with an extensive period of record and a multitude of observation sites that was beaten by 7°F to 8°F.”" yale climate connection.
  13. and clueless biden wants to work with them. he wont get a single supreme court judge. gutted green stimulus for them. the guy is as big a dud as obama.
  14. I followed their reddit game thread yesterday. main discussion, by far, was complaining about the refs.
  15. how nis it compared to nordvpn?
  16. A “game changing” 20-year effort suggests that even severely depleted marine ecosystems can be brought back to life. https://reasonstobecheerful.world/worlds-largest-seagrass-project-proves-you-can-actually-restore-the-oceans/#
  17. a place of honour at the legislature is for people who deserve to be honoured. removing a statue does not "erase history" agree. like the small local cemeteries in every little prairie town. Chief Peguis grave is in a cemetery just North of East Selkirk. there are graves there from the 1790's. amazing place.
  18. not always..... statues of KKK leaders are on display in some legislative grounds in the states. or, statues of sadaam hussein , probably better without them. toppling communist dictator statues in East Germany when the wall came down. depends on your perspective. to some people, no real difference between living under victoria, or Stalin. the British in those days operated the biggest gulag in history.
  19. Price has not played well against lightening. game the other day habs 29 shots, other team 12, score two zip tampa.

  21. who was it that started late, and was doing a lot of tackling and solid hitting? Maston?
  22. not sure what to think
  23. Biden big talk, no action. I guess not surprising. Democrats can be counted on to cave every time. complete dud. "The compromise proposes spending hundreds of billions of dollars on roads and bridges. But it abandons just about every major Biden idea for combating global warming. It lacks standards and tax incentives meant to push utilities to clean up electricity generation. It declines to phase out subsidies for fossil fuels. It largely forgoes meaningful investments for electric car infrastructure and public transit. It offers nothing for research and development on clean energy. In announcing the deal, Biden appeared to want to do much more — the compromise, he said, would be paired with another spending bill that Democrats could try to pass under a parliamentary technique known as reconciliation, which would allow them to sidestep the Senate filibuster. That plan, he suggested, would include huge investments for the climate and the White House’s safety-net priorities. He promised not to sign the compromise without also signing the larger bill. That seemed comforting — but then the president over the weekend walked back his promise. " New York times.
