He just welcomed a convicted war criminal to the Whitehouse, and pardoned the war criminal. The war criminal will likely run as a Republican sometime soon, and probably has a good chance. Trump is either evil, insane, profoundly ignorant, or all three, and at this point, is easily the worst President in history.

John Wheeler quotation "In the fall of 1967, [I was invited] to a conference … on pulsars. … In my talk, I argued that we should consider the possibility that the center of a pulsar is a gravitationally completely collapsed object. I remarked that one couldn't keep saying “gravitationally completely collapsed object” over and over. One needed a shorter descriptive phrase. “How about black hole?” asked someone in the audience. I had been searching for the right term for months, mulling it over in bed, in the bathtub, in my car, whenever I had quiet moments. Suddenly this name seemed exactly right. When I gave a more formal Sigma Xi-Phi Beta Kappa lecture … on December 29, 1967, I used the term, and then included it in the written version of the lecture published in the spring of 1968. (As it turned out, a pulsar is powered by “merely” a neutron star, not a black hole.) [Although John Wheeler is often identified as coining the term “black hole,” he in fact merely popularized the expression. In his own words, this is his explanation of the true origin: a suggestion from an unidentified person in a conference audience.]"

post humous pardon and medal of honour for Timothy McVeigh?

The year the Bombers lost the semi final to the lions at the stadium with Nichols as QB, if they hadhalf the defence they had for the last part of this season, the Bombers would have demolished the lions. (nice sentence! ) NIchols played really well in that game, and deserved a win, the defence absolutely stunk, five Bombers missed tackles on a fifteen yard run for a TD in that game, just awful defence. Crapping on Nichols is dumb.

I have a problem with transparency International: If you look at their definition of corruption, you realize that they rank USA incorrectly, giving them far more credit than they are due; they put it within ten points of Canada. By that defintion the USA is absolutely wallowing in corruption.

America... greatest country in the world!!! but still working on being able to count a few votes, and run an honest, simple, local election. snark....they're better at interfering in other nations' elections. that's their area of expertise. what a stupid country. They should try this morons.

I heard about it, after, so yeah I completely missed it. Good on them for them for doing that....

"if I had to choose"

Game was entertaining, but also saw a thirty million dollar qb look physically scared, and missing throws that CFL QB's would make. I thought the refs did a good job. half time was lip synced butt shaking cast of hundreds extravaganza, and boring. (Prince half time, one guy with his band, performing live, made this half time seem very weak) If I had to choose, I will watch any Grey Cup over any superbowl.

cheering for Andy and Pat.

Maybe Adams has been working hard since the end of last season, studying game videos, playbooks, training, I hope so. The Guy could be an excellent QB, and he's got Khari to help him with it. I'm Starting to accept that Streveller is going to the NFL.

same, with the exception of following Bernie and AOC.

This is not from "wacko" environmentalists. Change might come very fast.

I don't think the Bombers are going to sign any high price free agent receivers. Don't need one. top Canuck DB maybe. Canuck D lineman maybe. Don't need much else. Just went through losing top two Canuck O lineman, and replaced them from within, without much turbulence.

this thing went right on by us

I was on a plane coming up from USA, one passed close by going the other way. It is a very freaky looking machine. Just the sight of it is actually frightening.

Probably Dershowitz thinks he's the smartest legal mind in the world, and can prove 2 plus 2 makes 5, then the next day prove it doesn't. Also seems to love the limelight.

how about the election finance law he broke, re hooker payoff?

LOL Now degenerating into an absolute farce. I remember actually watching Nixon, dripping sweat, live on TV saying "The President, is not a crook" One of my favourite laughs ever. This is at that level now.

Bo is very good at hanging out in the pocket, moving around a bit, away from pressure.

very. if you watch some more, they have some Megan Markle stuff that cuts.

comment I just read,

I think Joe Biden has been a foot in the mouth type for a long time. he's "gaffe prone" so it seems like dementia, but he's probably just stupid.
