Trump is much weaker than he looks. He's always been a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure. Now he’s a bloated, sloppy, low-IQ flaccid failure desperately trying to distract from all that by attacking US cities with our military and sending his Justice Dept after political opponents.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

I'm not entirely surprised by this sentence, but did it really take months to deliver?

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

people said the same thing about the Rangers last year :)

i base my prediction on two things
- Barkov is out for the year and Tkachuk will miss sig time
- Florida is built for the playoffs more than the regular season

we shall see

It peaked in the mid '90s, yes, but then the liberal government implemented a govt wide program review to reduce spending

i quite enjoyed Alien Earth, or at least the first half of the season. it was a fresh take on the Alien universe, with interesting plot lines

i didn't care for the last few episodes where it turned into Jurassic Park with frantic chases and armed people conveniently popping up en masse when needed

for the bonus question...

For 15 bonus points, name one and only one player who will finish this season with at least 45 goals, and who is not Auston Matthews or Leon Draisaitl.

i kinda wish "no one" was an acceptable answer

Premier Smith referred to the unvaccinated as "the most discriminated against group that I've ever witnessed in my lifetime"

she also allowed UCP MLA Eric Bouchard to host "An Injection of Truth" townhalls

these were about COVID vaccines but it's led to people distrusting vaccines in general

You have three weeks to sign the Forever Canadian petition which is a message to Danielle Smith that Albertans don't want to separate. Volunteers are set up in many communities across the province. Use your voice (or in this case, pen) if you believe in unity! #Alberta

A black-and-white photo shows a soldier in uniform holding a rifle and standing in front of a helicopter, addressing a group of children seated on the ground. Another soldier is visible near the helicopter, which has a flag on its tail. The scene appears to take place in front of a modern building with large windows.

On Oct. 5, 1970, the Front de libΓ©ration du QuΓ©bec (FLQ) kidnapped British trade commissioner James Cross in Montreal. This began the October Crisis and led to the only peacetime use of the War Measures Act.
This is the story of the October Crisis.
