This is not about American militant attudes- they will reap what they have sown sooner or later. In the past 200 years, the Russians have invaded and "pacified" pretty much every one of their neighbouring countries and still occupy some of them. Have you forgotten the Holodmor, or that right after WW2, Russians seized and forcibly relocated hundreds of thousands of Lithuanians, Poles, Hungarians, Ukrainians and others to Siberia and in the past few months, the UN has documented over 1000 Ukrainian children who have been kidnapped and given to Russian and Byelorussian homes. If you think capitulation to the Russians will stop the killings, you are deluded beyond words. The experiences of Chechens gives overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

You stated that Trump tried to overthrow democracy in America. In reality, he has not stopped.

Some ugly attack signs have appeared on Winnipeg streets. A very macho-looking guy wearing a hat in a power pose is beside test " The Wab Way Is The Wrong Way" and claiming Wab is soft on violent crime, ignoring that Manitoba had an 11% increase in violent crime in 2022 under Tory rule.

You are very much in the minority in your opinions regarding the Russian attacks on Ukraine. Appeasement does not guarantee peace- Esst Germany is an example of a puppet government following Russian dictates with thousands of Germans killed and/or imprisoned. Trump has been a Russian asset for a couple of decades and if he was sane, he would have said the way to instantly stop the killings in Ukraine is for the Russians to simply leave. If your logic about the US "owning" Ukraine if the Russians leave was sound, that would have happened in Romania, Chechia, Bulgaria, Poland and so forth, BUT IT HAS NOT!

The trascripts you reeference do not exist except in the fevered imaginations of GOP nuts. They have promised repeatedly to release the transcripts but....nothing. Just as Trump promised to release irrefutable evidence today of election scamming by the Democrats, but mysteriously cancelled the press onference, the MAGats are counting on their cult members remembering the accusations but not the lack of proof.

All of the allegations about Hunter and Joe Biden accepting illicit money allegations have been repeated ad nauseum for several years without a shred of proof- only innuendo. The only "evidence" is constant references to an "investigation" by the FBI which is because a Republican sent a letter two years ago to the FBI asking for an investigation without any specific details as to the "crime". The FBI did not act on it and the GOP has taken that as a confirmation of bias.

The Environment Thread
The water level around the Panama canal has dropped due to drought. Hundreds of ships are waiting to pass through the canal, many of them run aground. Marine traffic is blocked. It is cited as the biggest congestion in history.

Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
It seems to me that the rhetoric is becoming a bit heated here. The first thing we notice upon seeing another human coming into view is their gender. That said, there is an obvious line between remarking on their attractiveness and commenting on this physical attribute or that. I am and have been a feminist for many decades and have believed that it is possible to acknowledge physical attractiveness without using that as a way to diminish someone.

TRUMP IS GETTING TOTALLY PARANOID AS HE CLAIMS BRIAN KEMP, MIKE PENCE, AND RON DESANTIS ARE CONSPIRING AGAINST HIM Trump is freaked out that Brian Kemp, Ron DeSantis, and Mike Pence met in Georgia and insinuated that they were all talking about him. Trump posted on Truth Social, “How nice, a wonderful reunion! Three people that I indisputably got Elected, two Governors and a V.P., Brian Kemp of Georgia, Mike Pence of Indiana, & Ron DeSanctimonious of Florida, just met, most likely to talk about the “weather,” or perhaps to discuss how they can stop the Weaponization of Georgia Law, working with the DOJ and others, against their absolutely, all-time favorite President, ME. All three have been just wonderful, so loyal and nice. It’s great to have friends like this!” Trump’s sarcasm was a thin cover for what he was suggesting that the three Republicans got together at an event in Georgia to conspire against him. Trump has been angry at Kemp since the Georgia governor would not overturn the state’s 2020 election results for him. Trump has been angry at DeSantis for running against him for the Republican presidential nomination, and he tried to have Mike Pence killed by his supporters after Pence would not participate in his coup plot.

If memory serves, there was no hole at all for him to squirt through. He hit a wall of defenders and maybe scooted around the end, but he was likely told to go through the A or B gaps.- Week 11 - Blue Bombers (7-2) @ stumps(3-6) - GDT
McCrae did as many things poorly as well. If he is the best we can do for punt returns, we are in trouble there. Pigrome was a project who showed well in very limitied action. Did he do well enough to be kept around? Uncertain, but Dru did himself no favours last night.- Week 11 - Blue Bombers (7-2) @ stumps(3-6) - GDT
