Pretty sure Trump was told, probably by Kushner or Kelly, that if the red nosed racist, was not turfed.....there would be a flood of other resignations.....Cohn, McMaster et al. Actually enjoying reading Breitbart, this morning.

Nice crowd, perfect weather, double flyover...... Bombers take opening drive right down the Esks 6... 2nd down trick play...Adams to Nichols, ends with Adams sacked... ....far too cute, when you have meat and potatoed it, right down the field.... Heath makes perfect read....then flat out drops INT, probably for 6... Nice run/pass balance for the Bombers so far, moving ball well..... ...but holding penalties on back to back series....stall those... The Harris/Flanders sets, have the Moes LB's back on their heels.... Nice to have TWO backs who can get the YAC..... Pretty intense out there.....plenty of thumping.... Speaking of that, Mike Miller really likes to thump.... Esksies get off a drive that stalls at the Bomber 30.. FG missed....Lankford gets huge return to midfield..... ...wiped out by illegal block on Knox....who has taken a few, this year.... Blue take ball....Nichols works short zone to Thorpe, Harris, Denmark.. Harris crashes through again....down deep, but fumbles the ball Dumb trick play, dropped INT, penalties...and a fumble..... ....only Bomber mistakes keeping the Moes in this one..... Eskimos struggling on O...... Tons of YAC, from Bombers....Thorpe is like a 3rd running backs... Harris runs over some people, Thorpe runs over some more..... The Fever plunges in for 6....while Bomber O almost runs up into stands... 10-0 Blue. Only. Despite completely dominating this game... This Perkins is a pretty good RB , for Edmonton..... Esks run sweep on 3rd and 1 for good yardage..... Reilly chucks it up the sidelines...for Deke Williams..... ....who makes circus catch, between Roc/Walker double team.... D gets the hold.....FG makes it 10-3 Bombers... Nichols is sacked, Blue takes ANOTHER holding penalty.... Rielly heaves another pass down the sideline, with 35 sec. in half... Randle has the blanket coverage.....and the interception..... Harris rips another one.....Nichols puts up jump ball in end zone..... Adams goes up .....and comes down, with the 6....with 9 seconds left 17-3.....better reflection of the run of play......20 first downs for O. Perkins still running effectively, inside....good looking RB. Reilly bombs away to K. Stafford, who beats the Roc for the ball. TD. ...this Roc experiment is getting on my nerves..... Harris with another 20+ yd gain.....Flanders breaks more tackles It may be ole school....but these two RB sets....really have D on their heels... Combo of hurry up and quick snaps.....is also befuddling the Esks.... ....as they take their 3rd Too Many Men call...... Edmonton OL doing pretty good job on pass pro..... Reilly makes crappy throw into double coverage....... Somehow Walker and Loffler...cant knock down the ball...... ....with the Duke grabbing it, while lying on the ground......for the TD Somehow it is only 24-17 Bombers..... Big 2nd pass to Adams for 35.....Harris blasts up the gut, for 20 more.... Drive stalls....Medlock hits shorty FG. 27-17.... Hurl blows hot and cold.....good plays and bad.... Nichols sacked.....Medlock pulls 51 yd attempt.....wide... Harris closing in on the double 100.....running AND receiving.... Thorpe really getting involved, in this O....more good YAC.... Moes take ANOTHER 13th man.....down to the red zone.... Bombers can't punch it in, again....Medlock makes it 30-17 Things looking good.....until Watson takes short toss..... Runs right by 2 guys.....Loffler misses tackle as well.... ....75 yds on that, inside the 5..... Handful of big plays gashing the Bomber D...... Harris-Flanders-Harris......first downs.... Bombers killing clock....and grinding out the yards..... Medlock 33 yarder....puts it it to 33-23.....minute and half, left. Loffler clinching INT.....wiped out by inane IC, against Heath.... Rielly still standing in there.....completes 5 passes...... Heath almost has another pick.....better hands...he would have about 10. 3rd and inches, Moes elect to FG....as time running out.....33-26 Short kick goes directly to Adams.....game.... Down goes the Eskimo perfect season! Down goes the IGF curse! Down goes the gin! 560 yds on O.....38 first downs....Nichols 360 Passing ....no IN's ....fanatic 38 minutes of TOP. Really have to tighten up in the back end on D.... This game was better...... than the score looked.... The gin was better ....than the bottle looked....- Hey Ripper

No more anti-Nazi protesters, for 50 years. MAGA!- US Politics
Instead of rallying all the American people, in the thous of this turmoil........Trump holds rallies to simply celebrate his own narcissism, egomania, and the continued sating and gulling of his mindless base. What totally amazed me months ago - and still does.....is that even early on in the campaign, anyone who could muster even an ounce of critical thinking, could clearly see that Trump was an amoral, racist, misogynist, and serial lying fake. Didn't matter to the Republican leadership, of course ....they found that they had a practical tool to use, in the pursuit of their own twisted agenda, where the fat cats get fatter, on more saucers.....and everyone else, is left to fight over the mice. Between wanting to push this agenda through, regardless.....and lacking the internal fortitude to push back against Trump, for fear of losing his base (voting bloc), they mumble in the background (McConnell) or make generalist statements against hate, without mentioning the Don (Ryan) or love their job so much, that any amount of abuse can be shrugged off (Sessions) They are a joke.- US Politics
Al Pence is good for.... is mumbling about "What the President really meant to say" in order to calm US allies- US Politics
Don't go to Brietbart, then...... Ps - this Alt-Left stuff was basically cooked up, some time ago.... by Hanninty, on Fox.- Testing Our Mettle: Eskies Coming Here
Lets test their mettle.....- US Politics
The GOP leadership is completely complicit in all this.......looking the other way, holding their noses, making rationalizations and flat out excuses for this guy. And in the process, constantly eating his insults, like the moral cowards that they are. Trump is simply a tool they consciously used..... to get what they wanted (not that they have accomplished anything with it) This is the natural extension of the Republican version of enlarging the tent, the last couple of decades......by opening their arms to the Alt-Right, and many other forms of extremists, both religious and cultural ...... The spotlight is now squarely on the GOP - do they condone this, or not? No amount of "what the President really meant", "out of context", "has his own style" or any of that other BS will cut it now.- US Politics
Trump is a real tough hombre when talking about women, Muslims, Mexicans, former Presidents, Black Lives Matter, Gold Star families, Liberals, the people that work around him in his (supposed) political party and foreign leaders . Almost everybody. Well, except David Duke, Richard Spencer.......and Vladimir Putin. The mask slipped off tonight......in a angry, petulant and non-factual way.......in short, the way The Fugly American usually goes about things. My Dad served in the Royal Canadian Navy.....my uncle, served in the Royal Canadian Air Force - both fighting the Nazis, in WW2. Yup, those folks, that Donald Trump feels the need, to deflect from, make excuses for and provide fake moral equivalency for them. Disgraceful. During the election, I posted here that Trump was not qualified to be a dog catcher. In retrospect, probably should of been a bit harsher.- Is MOS changing?
