Even Costco has loss-leaders- where else can you get a cooked rotisserie chicken and hot dog and pop for those prices? Referring to Fajardo's passes?

Can we say "plea bargain"?

Soooo....two dicks went to lunch together.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson Survives No-Confidence Vote Prime Minister Boris Johnson will face a no-confidence vote on Monday. Prime Minister Boris Johnson will face a no-confidence vote on Monday. AARON CHOWN - WPA POOL/ VIA GETTY IMAGES LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson survived a no-confidence vote on Monday, securing enough support from his Conservative Party to remain in office despite a rebellion that leaves him a weakened leader with an uncertain future. Known for his ability to shrug off scandals, the charismatic leader has struggled to turn the page on revelations that he and his staff repeatedly held boozy parties that flouted the COVID-19 restrictions they imposed on others. Support among his fellow Conservative lawmakers has weakened as some see the leader, renowned for his ability to connect with voters, increasingly as a liability rather than an asset in elections. Johnson won the backing of 211 out of 359 Conservative lawmakers, more than the simple majority needed to remain in power, but still a significant rebellion of 148 MPs. With no clear front-runner to succeed him, most political observers had predicted he would defeat the challenge.

See? See? Harumph.

I thought that was what the "D" in DJ stood for. He certainly doesn't look like an animal from the Andes.

Trump-Endorsed Senate Candidate Blames Gun Violence on ‘Black People, Frankly’ Blake Masters, whom former President Donald Trump recently endorsed for Senate in Arizona, said during a podcast appearance earlier this year that “Black people, frankly” are responsible for America’s gun violence problem. “We do have a gun violence problem in this country, and it’s gang violence,” Masters said on the “Jeff Oravits Show” on April 11, the Daily Beast reported on Sunday. “It’s people in Chicago, St. Louis shooting each other. Very often, you know, Black people, frankly. And the Democrats don’t want to do anything about that.” Masters — who has peddled the great replacement theory and falsely insisted that Trump won the 2020 election — went on to say that Democrats “don’t like the Second Amendment” because “it frankly blocks a lot of their plans for us.” Masters has leaned on racism, conspiracy theories, and guns throughout this campaign. Guns in particular have been featured prominently is his campaign videos. “The Second Amendment is not about duck hunting,” he said in one of them, adding that “the first thing the Taliban did when Joe Biden handed them Afghanistan” was “[take] away people’s guns.” https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/blake-masters-gun-violence-black-people-1363376/

Can he do this, being the leader of Tibetan Buddhism and all?

You forgot to post a "graphic violence" warning.

And Ulster (Northern Ireland) as well as Wales have stated that they reserve the option to join the EU as independent states.

Brexit will not undone in any scenario- that would take another act of UK parliament to reverse that disastrous decision that was encouraged and funded by Russia.

Damning text messages reveal plot to give pro-Trump supporters access to Georgia's voting machines: report According to a report from the Daily Beast's Jose Pagliery, texts obtained by the website between a former Georgia Republican county chair and an election board member revealed they were plotting to allow pro-Donald Trump outsiders access to the county's election computers. As the report reveals, those text messages were flying back and forth on Jan 6th as the Capitol in Washington D.C. was under siege to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election that saw Trump lose re-election. As Pagliery notes, the Washington Post has reported that "the Secretary of State’s office was investigating the matter. But the previously unreported text messages shed new light on who arranged the possibly illegal access to the computer and who was on the team that traveled south to do it." According to the new Beast report, "The text messages acquired by The Daily Beast show two separate conversations in which former Coffee County GOP chair Cathy Latham and elections board member Eric Chaney lay out a plan to bring in a team of computer experts to access the computer voting system. The Daily Beast has verified that the conversations were real and remain stored on an iPhone." "At 4:26 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, as the Capitol building in Washington was under attack, another plan was in the works 607 miles away in the small town of Douglas, Georgia," Pagliery wrote. "Chaney, the elections board member, received word that the county GOP chair was on the phone with an Atlanta businessman who wanted access to the voting system computers there." https://www.alternet.org/2022/06/trump/ Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone WASHINGTON, June 27 - The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm, even a woman who had obtained a court-issued protective order against a violent husband making an arrest mandatory for a violation. The decision, with an opinion by Justice Antonin Scalia and dissents from Justices John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, overturned a ruling by a federal appeals court in Colorado. The appeals court had permitted a lawsuit to proceed against a Colorado town, Castle Rock, for the failure of the police to respond to a woman's pleas for help after her estranged husband violated a protective order by kidnapping their three young daughters, whom he eventually killed. https://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/politics/justices-rule-police-do-not-have-a-constitutional-duty-to-protect.html

It should be obvious by now that they're a little slow in Saskatchewan.

I assume that we can safely count out Meredith's imminent return.

Everyone's a critic.

But if he scores a TD, will they say to him."Danke, Shoen"?

MAGA Gun Church That Worships With AR-15s Has Bought a Giant Mountain Property in Tennessee Worshippers at World Peace and Unification Sanctuary hold weapons during their service February 28, 2018 in New Foundland, Pennsylvania. WORSHIPPERS AT WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION SANCTUARY HOLD WEAPONS DURING THEIR SERVICE FEBRUARY 28, 2018 IN NEW FOUNDLAND, PENNSYLVANIA. PHOTO BY DON EMMERT/AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES The MAGA-loving religious sect that worships with AR-15s has purchased a 130-acre property on a mountain in eastern Tennessee to serve as a “training center” and holy ground for its devoted, gun-toting followers, VICE News has learned. The latest property acquisition is more evidence that Pastor Hyung Jin “Sean” Moon, a fervent conspiracy theorist and son of an accused cult leader, is determined to expand his reach into the American Heartland. Moon’s congregation, Rod of Iron Ministries, also known as The World Peace and Unification Sanctuary, is a gun-centric spinoff of the much larger Unification Church, founded by his late father, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, a self-proclaimed messiah and businessman whose followers were famously known as “Moonies.” The younger Moon, who also goes by “The Second King,” split from the main church amid a dramatic falling-out with his mother about who, between the two of them, was the rightful heir to his father’s empire. In 2017, Moon founded his church in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania, siphoning off hundreds of followers from the main congregation who were willing to make the seemingly radical leap of incorporating high-powered rifles into their spiritual life. He did this with the backing of his older brother, Kook-jin “Justin” Moon, the CEO of Kahr Arms, a gun manufacturing company headquartered nearby. In recent years, he’s made headlines for recreating the mass wedding ceremonies that his father’s church was famous for, with the addition of AR-15s. Sean and Justin Moon, plus other senior church officials, were also at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, and posted videos of themselves emerging from clouds of tear gas. Sean has also courted fringe MAGA-world figures; this weekend, the annual Rod of Iron Freedom Fest at the Kahr Arms headquarters in Greeley will include speakers such as former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, ex–NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch, far-right Proud Boy ally Joey Gibson, and GOP congressional candidate Teddy Daniels.

This is more a comment about the quality of receivers the Riders unearthed in the off-season than about Manny's remaining talent.

McKnight has had opportunities but, IMO, has not shown much, so his presence is a bit of puzzler.

Several members of my extended family are police (WPS and RCMP) and they were appalled by the actions and inactions of the officers on scene. There was obviously acute problems with the leadership but that does not excuse in any way the choices and cowardice of the officers. One child bled out while the police on site did nothing and actually blocked action. That they lied afterwards was butt-covering and fear of being prosecuted for dereliction of duty.

The Uvalde police force are as much a symptom as culpable through ineptitude and cowardice. They tasered, cuffed and arrested parents trying to get to their kids, blocked state police from entering the school, lied about their own actions and inaction, tried to blame a female teacher and may have even shot one of the kids. The crisis was only ended when several of the Uvalde police disobeyed orders and entered the school, whereupon the shooter killed himself.

QAnon Queen of Canada Now Claims to Be Queen of the World A QAnon influencer some people believe to be the true Queen of Canada took a quick break from her monthlong tour of the country to announce her intentions to go global. “The entire team was privileged to hear Queen Romana speak to the United States Commander and Chief via telephone and hear the intel disclosed. Wait for it…. ” Romana Didulo’s press secretary told followers before taking a dramatic pause. “Queen Romana is the leader of the world!” Speaking in a Quebec campground parking lot on May 24, in front of a massive purple Queen Romana decal (which features a sword bifurcating a maple leaf) on Didulo’s new RV, the press secretary said this was a big development for the burgeoning leader, one that would bring them legitimacy, and she urged those who follow Didulo to stand up for their queen. “Queen Romana has done all of the heavy lifting, and now it is up to ‘we the people’ to stand in our authority and put these decrees into place,” she told her followers. ”The only visible leader on this planet is her royal majesty Queen Romana, period, and that’s a mic drop.” Didulo grew out of the online QAnon movement—which believes there is a secret war being fought against the elites—and has garnered a not-insignificant following by actually inserting herself in the real world created by this conspiracy. For months now, Didulo and a rotating cast of characters have been crisscrossing the country in a convoy—which they call their “mobile government”—building her community offline by meeting followers at almost every stop they make. They’re on the tail end of their second loop of the second-largest country in the world, as gas prices have reached record highs. Didulo has issued, as of this week, 79 decrees. For the most part, the decrees have had little real-world impact, such as declaring Victoria, British Columbia (where she resides when not in the RV) the capital of Canada, and raising the age of consent to 24, although some followers bristled at that. https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7n8aw/queen-of-canada-roman-didulo-qanon-global (Pierre Poilevre will be soooo jealous)

Rep. Louie Gohmert Laments That Republicans Can't Lie To Congress Or The FBI Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) thinks Trump administration aide Peter Navarro’s indictment on contempt charges Friday is a sad sign that America is screwed up. It’s not because the Texas congressman thinks Navarro should have followed the law and cooperated with a House select committee’s investigation of the U.S. Capitol riot but because Navarro’s arrest Friday means that Republicans might have to tell the truth when dealing with Congress or law enforcement. Navarro was taken off a plane at a Washington-area airport Friday after the indictment on contempt of Congress charges was unsealed. He later appeared before a judge who released him on the condition that he notify the court before traveling. Gohmert appeared Friday on Newsmax and lamented that Navarro’s indictment means “if you’re a Republican, you can’t even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they’re coming after you.” Gohmert, a former lawyer and judge, said that Navarro was the victim of “a two-tiered justice system.” He said he was especially angered that Navarro’s indictment came in the same week that a jury acquitted Michael Sussman, a lawyer for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, of charges that he had lied to the FBI. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/louie-gohmer-gop-cant-lie-newsmax_n_629a6b93e4b016c4eef958f9
