HAVE fallen off already.

Lions look like they belong in the east division of the CFL.

Same result. Kinda rooting for the Beastly Lions.

Can't help feeling that we have had so many improbable comeback wins with a depleted lineup that it seems like a cheesy movie script, and a part of me is wondering when the tide will turn.

BC looking very disorganized and liable to be blown out.

So far, Trump is the subject of three separate investigations- two federal and one state (Georgia) and there is a good chance there will be others, If/when Trump fails to win the GOP nomination, he will also lose the potential ability to pardon his henchmen, and that will set the cat among the pigeons. Bannon's fate should be a pretty good indicator of what is to come.

Today was a disastrous day for the Russians. Reports indicate 800 Russian casualties, soldiers fleeing into forests, large amounts of weapons, armoured vehicles and munitions abandoned, Russian forces encircled in pockets, Izyum, Kherson and Kharkiv have either fallen or are almost so. The pace of advance of Ukrainian forces is accelerating. The ranking Russian general there has been captured.

I wouldn't bet the farm on Trudeau staying on. The Tories will waste all of their ammunition on him and then he steps away, leaving the opposition flailing away at thin air.

Where's the fun in that?

They may suspect he might be related to Sleepy joe.

Justice Department leans in on Trump's special master request for document The United States Department of Justice on Thursday filed a response to Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon's Monday ruling that granted former President Donald Trump's request for a special master to determine whether the trove of classified documents that were seized during the Federal Bureau of Investigation's search warrant execution at Trump's unsecured Mar-a-Lago estate on August 8th are covered by executive privilege, which Trump has claimed in his lawsuit against the FBI. Cannon, whom Trump appointed, additionally required the Justice Department to pause its probe into how and why Trump had a foreign country's above-top-secret nuclear capabilities hoarded in his beach house. The Justice Department asked Cannon "to stay the part of her order that halted the investigation and would require showing classified docs to special master, and says will appeal if she doesn't do that," New York Times national security and legal reporter Charlie Savage tweeted along with a copy of the motion. DOJ is "willing to let a master be appointed and see the unclassified docs," Savage explained. The Justice Department in its answer unambiguously emphasized the stakes surrounding what is contained within the materials that were in Trump's possession. "The government and the public would suffer irreparable harm absent a stay. This Court correctly recognized the government's vital interest in conducting a national security risk assessment of the possible unauthorized disclosure of the classified records and any harm that may have resulted," it wrote. "But the review and assessment on their own are not sufficient to address and fully mitigate any national security risks presented. The Intelligence Community's review and assessment cannot be readily segregated from the Department of Justice's ('DOJ') and Federal Bureau of Investigation's ('FBI') activities in connection with the ongoing criminal investigation, and uncertainty regarding the bounds of the Court's order and its implications for the activities of the FBI has caused the Intelligence Community, in consultation with DOJ, to pause temporarily this critically important work. Moreover," DOJ continued, "the government and the public are irreparably injured when a criminal investigation of matters involving risks to national security is enjoined." The Justice Department stated that Trump "has not shown that he had standing to seek relief, or that this Court properly exercised its equitable jurisdiction, with regard to the classified records. The classified records are government property over which the Executive Branch has control and in which Plaintiff has no cognizable property interest." It noted that "accordingly, even if (as the Court stated) Plaintiff has made 'a colorable showing of a right to possess at least some of the seized property' sufficient to establish his standing to request that a special master review records that might potentially belong to him, D.E. 64 at 13, he categorically cannot make that showing with respect to documents marked as classified." The Justice Department stressed that "the seized classified records at issue here — each of which the subpoena plainly encompassed — are central" to its "ongoing criminal investigation" into Trump. It also told Cannon that the declassification power "falls upon the incumbent President, not on any former President, because it is the incumbent President who bears the responsibility to protect and defend the national security of the United States." The Justice Department's final argument was that "Trump himself declined to assert any claim of executive privilege over the classified records at the point when it would have been appropriate to do so." https://www.salon.com/2022/09/08/justice-department-leans-in-on-special-master-request-for-documents_partner/

Obviously a perfect Trump acolyte. His mother must be so proud of him

And Bannon with all his bluster and bullpoop meekly surrendered to New York police today.

I will continue to wear a mask when indoors in public places. We all choose for ourselves.

Quien sabe?

Hmmmm......maybe if I ever miss the taste of MSG.....

'They will have to kill me first': Steve Bannon reacts to being indicted in New York over border wall scam Steve Bannon had harsh words on Tuesday evening after The Washington Post reported he was making arrangements to surrender himself to Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg. "Stephen K. Bannon is expected to surrender to state prosecutors on Thursday to face a new criminal indictment, people familiar with the matter said, weeks after he was convicted of contempt of Congress and nearly two years after he received a federal pardon from President Donald Trump in a federal fraud case," the newspaper reported. "The precise details of the state case could not be confirmed Tuesday evening. But people familiar with the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sealed indictment, suggested the prosecution will likely mirror aspects of the federal case in which Bannon was pardoned." Bannon allegedly profited by $1 million in the "We Build the Wall" scheme after Mexico refused to pay for Trump's border wall. "Just days after being swatted three different times by deranged thugs from New York City inspired to be the Biden administration to assassinate me by police, the Soros-backed DA has now decided to pursue phony charges against me 60 days before the midterm election because WarRoom is the major source of the MAGA grassroots movement,' Bannon argued. "The SDNY did the exact same thing in August 2020 to try to take me out of the election. It didn't work then, it certainly won't work now. This is nothing more than a partisan political weaponization of the criminal justice system," Bannon argued. He predicted the charges would be good news for his podcast. "They are coming after all of us, not only President Trump and myself. I am never going to stop fighting," Bannon vowed. "In fact, I have not yet begun to fight. They will have to kill me first."

Canada fugitive 'dies of self-inflicted wounds'- SOURCE,REUTERS The suspect in a stabbing that left 10 dead and 18 others injured has died of self-inflicted wounds as he was captured by police, report local media. Police said earlier that Myles Sanderson, 32, was taken into custody in the province of Saskatchewan on Wednesday afternoon. Footage from the scene showed a white SUV run off the road and surrounded by police cruisers near Rosthern town. Ten victims remain in hospital, three of them in a critical condition. News of his capture came soon after an alert was sent to Canadian mobile phone users warning people near the town of Wakaw to "seek immediate shelter/shelter in place" because a man armed with a knife had been seen driving in the area. Rosthern is 44km (27 miles) west of Wakaw. An unnamed official told the Associated Press that during a car chase, officers knocked Sanderson's vehicle off the road. The source did not tell the news agency when or how the fugitive's injuries were inflicted, or when he died.
