    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Watch both sides unite to crush the concept of a 3rd party - one thing AOC and Trump would agree on.

    F1 2025

    Was lucky we were inside the corporate - aircon etc and fans on the balconies. Trackside was brutally hot. We were in the pits around 1 pm and the temp down there was over 50c. Biggest danger inside corporate was dodging the selfie sticks of the social media crowd :ROFLMAO:

    F1 2025

    Atmosphere change yesterday at the track was incredible when Max went out. Massive drop in noise and atmosphere. Anyone fancies a live F1 experience then Austria is a good option. The track visibilty for most spectators seems amazing compared to other circuits. Was told tickets are actually...

    F1 2025

    Supposed to be going tomorrow on a freebie but don't think i fancy 9 hours in the car in these temps we've got here (34/35C). It's actually a terrible track in terms of location when it comes to hotels etc. Graz is the nearest decent option and that's a good hour away. It's a big race for Lando...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    They are a problem once they find your weak spots - current affairs, music from your youth, certain sports - couple of hours later you realize you've been had :)

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    When we were kids we were told we couldn't watch too much TV because it was bad for us - certainly no daytime TV even in school holidays. My niece with autism can spend 8 hours + a day on her mobile looking at all sorts. Can't believe that helps her situation. They've prescribed her sleeping...

    Then you get the case for increased immigration (appeal of illegal immigration) going up because of shortages in the labour force. Then you get the cost to the NHS in dealing with this. It is just going to spiral.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    COVID didn't help some of these kids. My youngest niece was flying pre-COVID, top marks etc. Then after COVID couldn't get her back to regular school attendance (100s thousands kids apparently the same). Then she was diagnosed with a form of autism which hasn't helped. The final straw was some...

    cricket 2025

    Years of trouble with the West Indies cricket board - scandals, infighting and financial. No money for investment in grassroots or junior cricket takes a toll. Been years since they have had a decent Test team so that doesn't help red ball attendances. I know when they had the 20/20 last year...

    cricket 2025

    Can someone explain why for the 2nd round of Championship games in a row they are starting on a Sunday rather than a Saturday? Surely there must be some attendance benefit by having cricket on a Saturday rather than a Wednesday (when these 4 day games will end)? Appreciate attendances aren't...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Democrats did think about trying to legislate an increase in the size of the Court to address the current imbalance but there's always going to be an odd number of justices so one party will "dominate" either way. Neither party can take the high ground on the SC balance when so many other judges...

    That's the problem US has atm. It's a comparatively "young court" so its "political makeup" unlikely to change anytime soon. Most likely change would be for Trump to press the eldest Republican judge to quit during this Presidency so that he could appoint a new young Republican.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Right but the Lords does have blocking /amendment powers. maybe it's one of the reasons Labour has appointed a load of new peers in December to give them a majority there. Also UK supreme court currently has tended to show a liberal tendency and the court is also not appointed by polticians so...

    Goes through the various federal court levels until it reaches the SC. In these most recent cases SC has "jumped in" and fast-tracked them for quick decisions

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Americans are tied by having a written constitution and that it (and many key amendments) were written for another time. This obsessive adherence to documents from another time is absurd - much like the various religions that want firm adherence to things written often over a thousand years ago...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    This is just a phase of the SC with a Republican-appointed majority. Both parties have politicised the lower courts. One of the big issues when US claims to be the "world's greatest democracy" is the politicisation of its court system. This SC decision won't stop Democrats and their appointed...

    Massive Supreme Court decision on the power of lower courts to apply nationwide injunctions. republicans used it themselves to block Biden but now a precedent has been set. Whether it's constitutionally correct or not is another matter as again the court ruled 6-3 along ideological/political lines.

    That's not what NATO, UK and US Govts say. America owns the weapons and are responsible for their maintenance etc. the nuclear non-proliferation makes this clear.
