Mayor Rob Ford ‏@TOMayorFord 1h
I love you #Toronto, the best city in the World.

I didn't realize AA sponsors enabled their sponsees? I seriously doubt that Joe has anything to do with Rob's sobriety through AA or any other organization.

Oh, and if I may "be adma" for a sec, to say "oh fuuuuucccckkk, Rob Ford's not going to be charged, this paves the way for his reelection etc etc" is like saying "oh fuuuuucccckkk, Boston City Hall's beed declared an architectural landmark, we'll never get rid of this concrete eyesore now".

That's Boston's city hall?! I thought it was the Sears building here!

This is weird:

Who in the mayor's office writes his tweets? It's certainly not him.

That would explain a lot i think, in a very fucked way. An ex-alcoholic who enables and covers for someone still in the grip of the vise of booze is sociopathy defined.

Friend of mine ran into Sandro recently. He claims to know for a fact that his Range Rover is bugged with a tracker and also that his phone is tapped. He says cops are just waiting for him to make one wrong move. Also the same two plain clothed cops have been following him around for months. They're so easy to spot now that it's a joke. He's also dating a girl who looks young enough to be in high school.

"Mom, Dad, I want you to meet my new boyfriend!"

Maybe Joe is Rob's sponsor? That would explain a lot. And he did say "I tested his drink as i usually do".

What if there was booze in one of them? Would Joe have to change his sobriety date?

My guess is it's currently Graeme the receptionist but it could be some lower level staffer.

He was the one who said the TPS were ready to lay charges but that political interference was holding it up. Sounds like that's what happened.

Yeah I don't think MM can be discredited yet. His stuff lines up with what ended up happening on Thursday.

I'd say from now on, when you hear a MetroMan prediction, dial it back by about 9/10ths and you'll have something closer to the truth. There's a lot of confirmation bias going on there.

From MM's twitter:

This is the best we can hope for. The release of the video - especially hearing him telling off minorities - would be the perfect "October Surprise."

Jimmi, what's going on? What's your take? From what you know and your gut feeling, how and when do you think the rest of this will play out?

 

[newearthling]

Can you imagine? Maybe he picks young ones because he thinks he can control them better.

Yeah, of course.

"Mom, Dad, I want you to meet my new boyfriend!"

Maybe Lisi carries around a copy of that glowing reference letter Robbie wrote for him. When the mayor of North America's 4th largest city is willing to sign off on your exceptional leadership skills, great work ethic, tact, diplomacy, courteous and polite manner, how can that not impress your new girlfriend's parents?

Sandro Lisi for Prime Minister!
