@ConradMBlack Just an FYI, Lord Black—your years of slavish devotion and obsequious sucking up to Trump has already yielded you the corrupt pardon you were seeking from him. At this point, you are now free to remove his balls from your mouth. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
@mirtle I just assume that’s what this is. Kucherov asked for $20M, because how can he not in this cap environment as a 130-140 player & reigning MVP? And then Tampa stuck with their strategy of low-balling their stars. Kucherov was insulted by this & demands a trade. Bold move by Tampa.
@falseroxy It’s a bit odd, but she was 30 years old when they met and they married when she was 35. I have trouble finding ethical qualms with an age-gap relationship when both were 30 or older when it started. You’re enough of a fully-formed adult at that point that it’s not exploitative.
@mattgurney Some ridiculous contentions here. Both that foreign policy should’ve been a major consideration for voters in a MUNICIPAL election. Or that you must vote for whichever candidate most strongly supports Israel in order to qualify as someone who cares about the Jewish community.
@TheoFleury14@JustinTrudeau Have to say, I thoroughly enjoy the degree to which Trudeau lives rent-free in the heads of Maple MAGA ragers like yourself even almost two years after quitting politics to globetrot around the world with his rich pop-star girlfriend. It’s adorable that you even tagged him too.
@VergenceS@_Nox_100@metr0politics You are mistaking a “union” with annihilation. It’s like a “union” between your local mom & pop hardware store and Walmart. Where all of the individual character & agency of the smaller party would be lost as it’s subsumed into an entity orders of magnitude more large & powerful.
@jma025_@bobbycappucino Never said it wasn’t the right decision for himself! Can’t argue with two Stanley Cups. Just saying he has neither the ability or the inclination to handle the pressure playing in a hockey market instead of being incognito in the South. That’s fine, not everyone’s built for it.
@PuckLeafs@bobbycappucino Yep. Not only does he not want the pressure of playing for the Leafs, he doesn’t even want the pressure of playing for a team that’s expected to win. How else do you explain signing with a mediocre Preds team in 2023 & turning down every chance to get traded to a contender since?
@LeftFlank22@acoyne How’s the weather in St. Petersburg, comrade? You looking forward to the general mobilization and getting turned into chunky salsa by a Ukrainian drone?
@JigglyPants44 At this point, I think Pierre has shifted his focus entirely over to keeping the wingnut base of the party happy enough that he can hold on as leader, keep the salary bump he gets for that job and keep his cushy taxpayer-funded mansion at Stornoway.
@yyzsportsmedia Very strange quote to pick to make this point. I think Hyman shows an extreme lack of character here. Easy for him to rubber stamp Babcock’s hiring & support him publicly when, as a vet star and one of Babcock’s favourite pets, he knows he’s not going to be a target for his abuse
@davidalter God, this brings back memories of the days when I’d go on long road trips with only several pages of printed-out Mapquest directions to guide us. What a time to be alive.
@mattyglesias Canadians have zero interest in our country or elected officials becoming directly embroiled in US politics, or further CAN/US integration. Have you not figured that out from our furious reaction to the “51st state” shit? Fix your own goddamn country yourselves, for fuck’s sakes.
@sarobertson_@GinnyRothTO It’s utterly hilarious to suggest that “certainty” is a feature of any deal with this particular American President and that it’s worth capitulating for. If you C-suite Maple MAGAs want to be American vassals, you’re just going to have to move down there on your own.
