  1. ...or just maybe....they aren't all partisan hacks and are actually doing their jobs....
  2. I'm curious to know how you arrive at that conclusion. AFAIK, the DOJ is run by Trump appointed Republicans. Matthew Whittaker; Rod Rosenstein, Jesse Panucchio, Noel Francisco.... ....all Republicans, from what I can see.
  3. If they can land a piece that helps the team in the near future, I agree. As much as I like Smoaky, this is a classic "sell high" situation. Rowdy can handle 1st and if he slumps, or needs a rest, I'd bet the farm that Martin can play there.
  4. Yeah...."Great News" doesn't really fit here.... ....neither does "News", actually...
  5. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/what-china-hopes-to-get-by-detaining-canadians/ar-BBQUQ44?li=AAggNb9 Hmmm.....why does that sound familiar....
  6. No, he didn't. The situation has nothing to do with either of them.
  7. Are people so determined to criticize Trudeau that they'll ignore the fact that he had nothing to do with the extradition treaty between Canada and the US and that Canada has no choice but to honor it? Apparently so....
  8. Personally, I think it's mostly posturing on the part of the Chinese. The two detained Canadians are worrisome, but I see it as a bit of a fishing expedition. They have to know that we won't renege on a treaty agreement with the Americans. That fact is, if China/Huawei really wanted Meng back, they'd spirit her out of the country, now that she's free on bail. 10 million is chicken scratch to a company that big.
  9. Danny Green said after the game that they caught the Warriors on an off night, but the fact is, it's not "how", it's "how many". A win is a win and beating the Dubs on their turf, without Kawhi, is huge for the Raps, especially on the heels of disappointing losses to the Bucks and Nets. That being said, Green has a point: Any time Klay goes 0-fer from behind the arc, you've gotten a bit lucky. (Still can't believe there was no foul call when Draymond hacked JV under the basket, though...) If they can somehow come up similar performances in Portland and Denver, they'll be looking fantastic.
  10. Just looked at SNET and according to the latest, Chuck is right. Last night Rosenthal was reporting an option year, but no mention of it today.... ...of course, that could change again....
  11. Pretty sure there was an option year at the same money. Can't remember, but I'd guess it was a team option. The third year was apparently what was holding up the contract talks. Yeah, I've heard people lament that the move was made, given the amount still owed and the injury problems, but IMO, AA made the right move for the team at the time. We'll still never know what might have happened, if Bats and Goins hadn't gotten their signals crossed on that pop-up against the Royals....
  12. Looks like people are still confused about how this all works. 1 - Trump didn't ask for the arrest to be made. It was the DOJ 2 - Once the request was made, Canada didn't have a choice. With have an extradition treaty with the US that compels us to act. 3 - The Chinese aren't stupid. They know who orchestrated the arrest and who is ultimately to blame. They aren't happy with Canada, but they know our hands were tied.
  13. I don't see how you can not lay this mess at the feet of Lenarduzzi. Are we to believe that Waston was upset with ownership? Robinson? Robbo's gone, so that can't be it. It narrows it down quite a bit for me and I can't help remembering how Lenarduzzi treated Dominic Mobilio years ago....
  14. Well it's really getting out of hand now: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/video/news/sesame-street-introduces-homeless-muppet/vi-BBQQJor Those "crazy rich Asians" buying up all the tenements (and garbage cans) on Sesame Street! Is nothing sacred?
  15. No kidding. It's bad enough that we had to take all your draft dodgers back in the 70s.....(It's not like all of them could claim bone spurs...)
  16. Better make sure you've got your gamelan face on....
  17. Jimmy explained it quite well, but it really has nothing to do with what i posted. I pointed out our government's criticism of Russia and Saudi Arabia in rebuttal to your claim that people "only criticize China".
  18. Is that what you believe? Did you somehow miss all the drama that occurred after Chrystia Freeland (and the JT) criticized Saudi Arabia for their arrest of Women's rights protesters? How about Trudeau's criticism of Putin for Russian aggression in the Crimea?
  19. Just curious what you think....we all know Gronk is a pretty good athlete...if he doesn't stumble making the turn there, does he make the tackle?
  20. I only watched a bit of it, but I was glad to see Atlanta win. I don't want that weasel Diego Chara to win anything...
  21. Meh. I don't think a 4 year old article about discrepancies at a few small, private schools suggests that BC is "the most corrupt NA jurisdiction"....
  22. Who says they're being given diplomas when they can't handle the curriculum?
  23. Yeah, I don't agree with Canada being unwelcoming to Chinese. (or anyone for that matter) The only thing I was backing up was the fact that International students pay higher tuition.
  24. Nope. Other than paying higher tuition, they're treated exactly the same as domestic students.
