  1. I have been wondering if things will start to crack with him. He’s not the president anymore. Even media still shows some respect with the use of Sir and all that. But now he’s just a washed up D list celebrity and how will he react when treated like one when he’s around people who don’t work for him?
  2. Nah. Mitch believes in tradition. Like presidents serve 4 year terms and get to have their Supreme Court nominees have their day before the senate regardless of where we are in the election cycle. he also believes in the long established tradition that presidents in an election year can’t have their nominees for the Supreme Court go before the senate since it’s an election year.
  3. What does “going against the US” mean because I have it on good authority that to 40% of the voting public and nearly half our federal legislature that it’s not the US they are in support of but rather a guy who was on a TV show in the mid aughts. If the interests of the former guy and the US collide they are aligning with the orange fella.
  4. I didn’t see anything from the press conference. Is this a real job or just an Al Kaine/Willie Horton thing? Is he moving back to Detroit? In other words is he Vice President of hockey ops or a Vice President of hockey ops? There’s a difference.
  5. Can you imagine if this nation had to do WWII style rationing? Would never happen today.
  6. they need to make the players hit fewer foul balls.
  7. https://www.nhl.com/redwings/news/nicklas-lidstrom-hired-as-red-wings-vice-president-of-hockey-operations/c-329670610 The title suggests more than just a token position...
  8. Craig and James are not smart guys....
  9. CNN is worse though because they have different standards
  10. Bethany Mandel is getting so roasted today... she needs to do the honorable thing and get on a piece of ice and float out into the water.
  11. As usual… Raphael gets it wrong. thr CDC director was asked about a study on vaccinated people. It was 78% of the vaccinated people in that study. so he agrees on the power of vaccination.
  12. It’s like trying to say that what McConnell did in 2016 with Garland is different than what he did with Amy Barret in 2020. but yes. You are correct in one sense. CNN has standards. Fox doesn’t. That was the whole point.
  13. Opinionated host of an opinion show is coordinating messaging with politician. Which one is fox and which one is cnn?
  14. only 3 people can do my wife's job in the ICU at her hospital. Medical professionals is not a one size fits all thing. You can't just transfer someone from another department. There's specialties. That's why the field hospitals didn't work. Anyone they would have been able to treat probably didn't really need to be in the hospital to begin with. It's not about mass casualty events like gunshots and trauma. If anyone could work in the field hospital then chances are they were already working in a brick and mortar hospital
  15. I don't mind if they say "push a button". I just detest the voice thing. Give me the option. "I'm sorry. I couldn't hear that. Let me repeat the options"
  16. And then dumped a bucket of ice on Mitch Albom
  17. Higginson never played on a winning team in college or the pros. Felipe Lira. Omar Olivares. Brian Bohanan.
  18. What year was Willie Blair? One of the few good things Smith did was let some other team waste a deal on him for his “good” season. Seems like the tigers also got aging middle infielders on their way out… Gregg jefferies. Scott fletcher. Billy Ripken.
  19. Without looking it up I think you nailed it.
  20. On top of that we had people from the CDC who worked in Wuhan for this very purpose. Trump got rid of them because “I don’t like to pay people who aren’t doing anything”. He literally threw out the smoke detector because it was just sitting there not detecting smoke.
  21. We had Gabe Kepler too. Wonder how often a team had two guys named Gabe.
  22. Forgot to add that same friend made fun of me because I would watch The National after hockey games. Loved it. No nonsense. I don’t watch much on CBC anymore in terms of games but my wife records Working Moms and I still see the commercials for it.
  23. Church leader. They’re always church leaders.
