'The easiest thing to do is expand the Supreme Court as it only requires a bill to pass Congress' and isn't a question, it's a statement. Neither of us have argued that point. What we have done is taken that statement and attached the question "is it the RIGHT course of action?" This is one...

It's a good point but then you also have to ask why such a situation would be acceptable at the top end? There can be a lot of money in being champions/promoted compared to finishing second and whether by design as above or just sheer luck with injuries etc someone clearly miles better than...

So you're saying those with power, money and influence should be allowed to get away with hate speech?

He certainly got away with far, far too much but Johnson has got away with numerous instances of what at best you could describe as un-PC language - many more would describe it as racist. In fact rather than being rebuked he got eventually got given the position of leader.

That was a stupid thing to tweet and was too open to interpretation. One way is that they were pointing out that had a Jewish homeland after the war been created in the US, which has a large amount of scarcely populated land and already had a significant Jewish population, as opposed to being...

While it was a stupid thing to say is it unfair to say that in certain aspect of the media labour were portrayed as pretty much institutionally anti-semitic when it was a small minority and much of that was more anti-israeli policy than anti-Semitic. There was probably almost certainly more...

Some of those things the issue is funding. How do you continuously monitor every single person without documentation. And how does that stop the homegrown ones or those that enter legally? Or the ones that have no previous info suggesting radicalisation? They probably foil a lot more than people...

Those 'short term lifts' aimed solely at staying up are what got us in this mess to start with. Let's get another short term boost guy in so when he gets the job permanently we start to slide away, sack him a year later with a nice payoff and go straight back to square one then repeat ad...

We felt people like O'Hare would be doing well but he's been underwhelming. Shipley and Allen have struggled. All of those played regularly in a L1 winning side. What we've seen of Bapaga is mainly at academy/U23 level which is an even bigger step up than those above. He started last season In...

Statistically I've never lost or even drawn a game at that level, or even PL and CL, I also add that I've won exactly the same number of games as I've managed and given any number divided by itself expressed as a percentage is 100% I can therefore claim a 100% win ratio. I'm a fucking...

Principle stands though. Is the easiest thing to do necessarily the best? Yes or no? For example the Rep's could have expanded the supreme court further during Trump's term to weight it even more in their favour. They didn't. It's now 6-3 instead of 4-5 because of a mix of good fortune in...

Simple does not equate to best practice. If someone you know gets done over by someone the correct thing to do is to inform the police and attempt to get justice in the courts. The easiest thing to do is get a group of people together and take retribution. Or is that gang warfare that makes...

In two posts you mention how rare this is yet then point out the court has been expanded numerous times in the past. It's not a matter of if it happens but when. It becomes like our HoL where each time more and more get appointed to sway the balance until it's ridiculous. Just cos it's...

I'm not saying it wouldn't be easier, just whether it's the best way to do it politically. Dem's do that and it's going to affect their credibility and give Rep's a stick to beat them with over democracy (even though I know it's been done before). Of course you could argue about Trump having a...

At the moment the league table is effectively a form table as it's still early. Later on we could play teams higher up or considered contenders having a bad run whilst we may also play lower table teams or expected to struggle having a purple patch. Similar we may be approaching winnable games...

Rather than expand it they could introduce term limits which wouldn't be perceived as badly, though would still obv attract negative press, esp from Fox and the like. Would be arguments in court about it obv as the current incumbents were sworn in on life terms. It's a significant, but not...

What's even more galling about most of these 50 year plus 'long term benefit' lot is that when it comes to economics and people say "why don't we accept slightly lower growth now for more steady, sustainable growth and other benefits in the longer term rather than the risky growth based on greed...

There is the part of me that hopes Reading come into the game complacent given the two teams respect form and ability to score/not concede.

100 years. To give that some kind of context that would be the same as us only just now seeing the benefits of defeating Germany in WWI and overcoming the flu epidemic of that year. Even if you take it as 50 years that's an entire generation who've lost out for their entire working lives and...

No he ain't you racist! ;)
