  1. Does that really sound like a guy who is under contract next season?

    Was there a second tweet with the third reason or can Simmons not count?

    I think some people considering it racist has to do with the fact that people seem to refer only to illegals from Mexico and not all countries. For example, would a white illegal from Canada or Europe be treated differently from an illegal from Mexico.
  4. What makes you think that? He hasn't been running the country for some time.
  5. So much for the "easy route" to the GC. That makes it 20 years and counting.
  6. I don't think it had anything to with be uncatchable. Both of the were handfighting and pushing each other.

    Perhaps you should speak to people in Ukraine, Syria and Crimea before dismissing Putin.

    The bolded part is a bit contradictory, don't you think. How do you deport a family member without tearing apart the family. Considering who Trump has appointed to his transition team, cabinet positions and his personal staff it's hard to fathom him not doing it. Nominee/Appointees Senator Jeff Sessions - Attorney General Mike Pompeo - CIA chief Michael Flynn - National Security Advisor These excerpts are from articles in the UK newspapers The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/18/trump-cabinet-appointments-sessions-pompeo-flynn) and The Independent (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-general-michael-flynn-national-security-adviser-transition-team-white-house-a7424271.html).

    Here's an excerpt from a June 28, 2016 article in the National Post about NAFTA: http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/reality-check-canada-has-no-appetite-to-scrap-trade-despite-nafta-poll
  10. Here's a link to Ed Tait's FA list on the Bomber website: http://www.bluebombers.com/2016/11/15/free-agent-round-up/ For those still worrying about Chungh, he isn't on the potential FA list which is pretty solid proof that Chungh is still under contract.
  11. Hamilton should get the GC before the Riders.
  12. And if we had gone for it on 3rd & 4 and not made there would have been a lot of armchair coaches saying he should have tried the FG because Medlock has the leg. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

    Source and not some obscure blogger or website that offers no proof of their claims.

    Trump has already backtracked (at least partially) in a number of promises. The wall has now become a wall and a fence. Special Prosecutor regarding Clinton is not a priority. Illegal immigrants with criminal records will be subject to immediate deportation - not all as he had promised. Has no plans to try to have gay marriage overturned - says he supports it. His new Chief of Staff put out a press release about his appointment with comments about completely repealing Obamacare while Trump has said he will keep the main parts of it and change other parts of it. A number of these things will certainly not make a number of his core supporters happy.

    I wouldn't say 7 years as a State Senator and 3 years as a US Senstor is almost zero. And he is leaving office with the US better off than it was when W left.

    Most likely that tweet was written by a staffer and not Trump. Anything remotely coherent and conciliatory usually is.
  17. Lest we forget.

    The people on the bridge are not KKK. They are Trump supporters but KKK. https://www.buzzfeed.com/mikehayes/no-the-kkk-was-not-out-celebrating-donald-trumps-presidentia?utm_term=.ljAyBP5Ja#.ttONOZxA6 However the KKK have announced they are planning a victory parade for Trump in North Carolina.

    The Canadian icon has passed away at age 82. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/leonard-cohen-dead-at-82-w449792

    That incident was included in the link Brain provided.

    Trump calls Obama "a very good man" after meeting him for the first time. Wonder how much that will PO some of Trump's supporters.

    Reading some of those literally made me cry.

    What a horrible voter turn-out. They really need to do more to get people voting and not having to wait hours to do it. Not the best source but from Wikipedia: Gary Johnson - 4,058,500 - 3.2% Jill Stein - 1,213,103 - 1% Evan McMullin - 448,339 - 0.4% Darrell Castle - 172,570 - 0.1% They don't give a percentage for write-in votes or "fringier" candidates.
  24. IIRC it was always supposed to be for just the regular season but because it was voted on and awarded in the spring it usually went to the coach of the GC winning team. Moving the award to GC week makes sense.
  25. If Roosevelt had played an entire season playing as he did in the first 11 games then he likely would have been named. And c'mon people... this is a thread about the Bombers named Western All-Stars and the majority of posts are about Riders and Riderfans. Congratulations to the Bomber 6!
