No, Musk said Trump's name is in the Epstein files… which is true. He most definitely did not say Trump was a paedophile.

"Lagacy media" is also the only media that has to follow some standards when it comes to reality so I can see why certain people don't like it.
At one time, every major city in the U.S. had a Republican paper and a Democrat paper, neither of which pretended to be neutral. You had to read both to find out something resembling the facts, and even then they often got things wrong. (The ‘standards’ of which you speak never actually existed; they were a figment of the news industry's own PR.)

Then the newspaper business consolidated, and generally speaking, the Republican papers folded or were bought out by the Democrat papers. There are only a handful of daily papers left in the U.S. that are not organs of the Democratic Party – but now they pretend to be neutral. Television network news was liberal from the beginning, and has been caught in more lies than I have time to recount. Cable news followed in the networks' footsteps, with the bizarre exception of Fox (which I have never watched, by the way).

I first became personally aware of how deep the rot was, and how far the ‘standards’ were ignored, when ‘60 Minutes’ did its segment on the so-called Bush memo in 2004. The memo was obviously a faxed copy of a Microsoft Word document made with the default font and formatting of the then current version of Word. There was no machine in 1973 that could possibly have created such a document, except a $10,000-plus photo-typesetting machine, and neither the Texas Air National Guard nor anyone else was in the habit of using typesetters to write memos. The memo was an obvious and total fake. But Dan Rather insisted it was genuine, and the liberal media eventually decided to call it ‘fake but accurate’ – even though the only evidence for its being ‘accurate’ was the fake memo itself. It was not corroborated by anything else.

I was one of several bloggers who proved that no equipment used by the U.S. military in 1973 could have produced that memo, and it was astronomically unlikely that anyone would have exactly duplicated the format that Microsoft chose as its default for Word documents 30 years later. So don't talk to me about journalistic standards. I know firsthand there aren't any.

And the sitting vice president called Trump a Nazi before he decided to use him for power. Falling for tricks lol...Trump's whole existence is tricks you rube.
So who were the rubes when Trump was a Democrat and nobody was calling him a Nazi? Was he a Nazi all along and every single person in the world was fooled, or did he suddenly become a lifelong Nazi when he decided to run for office as a Republican?

According to the Democratic Party, every single Republican candidate for President since 1948 has been a Nazi – including Eisenhower, who led the entire Allied war effort against the Nazis. The rubes here are the people who still believe the same obvious lie that was told about Dewey, Eisenhower, Nixon, Goldwater, Ford, Reagan, Bush I & II, Dole, McCain, and Romney. It's ludicrous.

As I said, there's a reason I don't go into the off-topic forum. If someone attacks me in here, I will defend myself in here. That's all you get.

Was it a personal attack? IDK...weird how you guys defend billionares who don't give a #### about you like its a personal attack. "When Trump was a democrat" Trump is for himself...like Musk. Easier for him to play the Christian angle and dupe the largely uneducated republican base. They took your jerbs now buy my bible even though everything I have ever done is against the teaching of Christ.

Or does it prove the Dallas rebuild model does not work?

Makes you think!

- Bingo IS Murray Edward
- Musk is a Nazi
- Jay Random is a blogger hacker that discovered a 1970s 60 Minutes deep state conspiracy and knows a LOT about Nazi salutes
- ComicZone is the only guy who watched Joker 2
- and Maloney might just kinda be confused

Pay attention, man

Must be your first time here. If a thread stays active long enough the crazies from the off topic side will eventually find it.

In an effort to steer back to hockey:

Says the most staunch defender of a billion dollar organization that, as you put it, don't give a #### about you.

I mean that in a genuine hockey fashion. You and I have been debating things in a circle for a few years now, and the results have borne out. The path the Flames have been on for 3 years has not been a succesful road.

Had the Flames taken a more proactive approach/pivot, we would have a strong prospect pool and be better equipped to compete moving forward.

I ask genuinely, and preface it with the fact clearly both you and I love this silly team, what are your hopes for the team?

Steinberg and Francis weighed in pretty heavily on Friday and spoke to the general dissatisfaction growing in the fan base over the lack of general organizational success in the modern era - and both seemed to agree that it has always been about just getting into the playoffs, and doing everything right now to make that possible (as in, they haven't rebuilt). I find it odd to see as many die hards as I have pivot from "they're not going to rebuild, and rebuilding doesn't yield results - look at Edmonton and Buffalo" to "they've been rebuilding all along, their actions have shown it". There doesn't seem to be a logical through line in conversation anymore. Further to that, no one of right-mind has ever though that rebuilding is a sure-fire Stanley Cup, we have always understood that there's plenty that has to go right between drafting at the top and actually raising the Cup at the end.

Every single caller on Fan 960 overtime so far have shared their anger about Don Maloney.

I love it, continue to be vocal because Flames fans deserve better.

I think you greatly underestimate how many people are upset about this.

No, it isn't 100% of the fanbase. But it isn't 20 people either.

I wouldn't have even knew about the interview if it wasn't posted on here so I would imagine many other Flames didn't find out about it until tonight if they even watched the intermission.
