Guess the word "peaceful protests" won't be much used anymore. Unless of course BLM lobbyists support shooting police officers out of pure anger and call that peaceful? :lol:

In 200+ years of the Union, I don’t think a president has ever threatened to hold onto to power no matter the result of an election.

Yet another Democratic Party hero revealed to be a doddering, senile old fool.  (And also hugely corrupt - has made a fortune passing insider trading tips to her husband. Highly illegal for you & me, but not for Senate Democrats)

 

 

Feinstein relies heavily on her ever-present staff to deal with any issues, frequently turning to them for help in responding to inquiries. Feinstein had to be coaxed into wearing a mask around the Senate during the early days of the pandemic, despite being part of the most vulnerable age groups for the disease. She’s only made two floor speeches in the last nine months, her last being in early July, although she remains active in committee hearings.

After his strenuous one event a day schedule over the last couple of days, Joe Biden takes today off.  It’s not like there’s much happening out there.  (“Call a lid” = no more events today)

 


In fact, this is the eighth day this month he has done nothing in the afternoon or evening.

 

 

Another sleepytime day in the US of A, the country where not much ever happens, so naturally Joe the Human Dynamo takes a well-deserved slippers and nap day.

On what planet is Feinstein a "Democratic Party hero"? It has long been a source of frustration among the base that the senior senator from California (of all states) is a centrist.

And what does it tell you about the nature of the modern Democratic Party that the corruptocrats like the Feinsteins, Bidens, Obamas & Clintons hold all the important, powerful posts & you “progressives” make up the cannon fodder?  Look how easily Bernie Sanders was cheated out of his rightful victory when COVID came along.

    • That was known from the start for  and will be planned for.   Sadly just the reality of sports in North America. Canada and the US are both huge, a flight from Vancouver to Halifax or from Seattle to Miami is north of five hours. Every sports league in North America has to deal with this kind of travel logistics on the regular, so none of this will seem particularly unusual to a North American player.
    • That’s not a long distance, it’s barely a 2h flight and there is no difference in timezone. Easily doable for fans as well.
