To go back to the original question, was it a ‘disgrace’ for Eugene Debs to stand for president in 1920? Despite the fact he was a convicted felon under the Sedition and Espionage Acts i.e. incitement to rebellion / treason.

This will backfire on the US in my view.

No, it’s a knowledge of US history and the US constitution because historical precedents and the law actually matter. You’ve moved the goalposts because Trump hasn’t been convicted of treason, yet you keep referencing Jan 6th. Which, ironically, damaged Trump (and the election denialism) in...

The cognitive dissonance here is astounding. The point you make about Eugene Debs is the exact point the conservatives made when defending Trump. The pertinent point here is that a convicted felon stood for president from their jail cell. Was that a disgrace? Yes or no. Forget the ideology of...

So did Eugene Debs, hence why I asked you about him. So I’d like an answer please. Was it a disgrace that socialist Eugene Debs was allowed to run for president in 1920? Or is it one rule for politicians you like and another for politicians you dislike?

Take the worst case (or best, depending on political orientation) that he is jailed for ‘x, y and z’ charges, there was nothing preventing him standing anyway. There was a socialist presidential candidate in 1920 who stood for election from his jail cell. Was this an outrage? If you’re...

Not on the middle election cycle is a good place to start. The US citizens have made their decision and voted pretty resoundingly so not sure what use this debate is. Even if he is guilty of criminal charges, he can exercise his presidential pardon and the electorate knew this to make an...

You’ve gone off on a tangent on me. My only point was that legal action that took place strengthened Trump’s re-election, that is all. The polling among the US electorate was that they felt that there was a political motive in the timing of the court cases, whether or not it is true or not is...

We also don’t know anything about Dovin’s injury. It could be something mild for all we know and initial prognosis off the mark.

I’m very surprised Plymouth made it to 1400+. I know it’s a trek and a bank holiday but still! Closed shop ole, ole, ole…

For starters, they were civil cases rather than criminal court cases. To remain focused on the point, is that the legal action against Trump backfired massively because a) he won the Republican primary a lot more comfortably than expected and b) he was able to weaponise it for his presidential...

At least we can get rid of our revolving door of idiots and NPCs in government every so often! 😂 Looking at all of the major economies in Europe, they’re all suffering from more or less the same issues; low growth, high tax burden, high immigration, increased crime, housing shortages and...

How? Trump wasn’t favourite to win the Republican nominee and all the Republican candidates were dog piling on him and his record in government… Until the lawfare against him. All the republicans then backed Trump publicly, it undermines their own campaigns and Trump stormed to victory in the...

It’s the usual suspects making the same tired arguments when they can’t get a ticket for oversubscribed games. Tough luck. If you don’t want to spend £150-200+ a month supporting the team up and down the country, that’s fine. Just don’t cry about it when you’re not at the front of the queue for...

I’ll definitely give that a read, looks v interesting. As for the case of 5-3-2x I don’t see how dropping Saka and EMC to play Binks/Lati and Simms is the answer for me. Neither MVE or Bidwell/JDS are good enough as creators and I don’t think the defence is that much stronger. Against...

I can seriously see Leeds dropping out of automatics now. Especially if Burnley beat us on the weekend. It would be hilarious for Leeds to bottle it again. Hopefully that would break them psychologically should we play them again.

A lot of the teams around us need to play one another so there will be plenty of weeks where teams around us will drop points. The 6 pointers are WBA and Boro. As long as we don’t lose them games, we should be fine provided we win elsewhere.

Why? Our opponents away from home are: Plymouth, Hull and Luton. I don’t think playing 5 at the back would’ve made a difference v Sheff U. We conceded a fantastic goal from a FK against a team that thrives on countering, the primary issue for me was that we didn’t create chances to score. The...

There’s been games this year where you’d have struggled to give tickets away, let alone sell them on just to claim points. I don’t deny there will be occasions where people on high points tallies will sort family/friends out, but by and large, you won’t get to 1600+ unless you put in the miles...

Any idea how many tickets are available?
