  1. Israel - Iran and regional players | Please post respectfully

    I doubt my views on it are particularly welcome here, but making the connection to Israel just seemed dumb to me. They’d have absolutely no motive, it’s nothing like what they do, and they don't even seem particularly interested in taking on the proxies closer to home. if anything, theyve made...
  2. US Politics

    Updated the post. Some of it is quite bad. Agree with your general point that it probably used to happen in past generations as there was little way to check. I do think that was the catalyst, but her lack of ability to take responsibility plus her thin academic record have made the meta...

    Thread here with a load of examples. You wouldn’t get away with this at undergrad. [
  4. US Politics

    It was copy and paste stuff. Sometimes half a page.

    Brain typo :p I meant the maine decision; the CO one makes sense and follows procedure. Judges often stay judgments pending appeal. I’m not aware of a practice of executive branches (Maines Secretary of State) staying their decisions pending appeals to the judicial branch though.

    The cynic in me says its Trumps camp driving these decisions. It's certainly doing him more good than harm, as well as 'justifying' to those who might listen his persecution complex. I can understand Colorado sending it to the USSC; the court have to apply the law as they see it, and perhaps...

    Time to make Victoria 3 start of the curriculum?

    That's real strange. You'd imagine it'd be the AG at least as (presumably) it'd be the AG representing the state in court (representing a decision and reasoning that they may or may not agree with). Is the Maine SoS a lawyer? Add to that that the GOP haven't won Maine since the 80's and it just...
  9. Amad Diallo | 2023/24 Performances

    By top level I mean a starter for a champions league club. No doubt he should make it in the premiership.
  10. Amad Diallo | 2023/24 Performances

    I’d be shocked if he makes it at top level. A little unlucky with injuries and picking the wrong club, but it is what it is.

    Im not a Collins fanboy, but believe I am correct that she voted to impeach. (And thereafter bar) There’s nothing crazy extreme about being against this decision. It’s not the correct forum.
  12. 2024 U.S. Elections

    Was a weird decision and somewhat political from the Secretary of State honestly. No doubt whatsoever that the SC overturns this nonsense (whilst declining to opine on whether he is an insurrectionist.) Honestly, I’d be inclined to vote against it on merit, and it wouldn’t surprise me if some...

    No worries, it’s the time to drink. you had me excited for a moment there. :) Merry 381st anniversary of Isaac Newtons birth! Still think Biden has the same structural issues as he has had for a few months, which hopefully can be overcome by Trump showing just how unelectable he is. Those swing...

    That’s for NH, not national though? NH is no longer really a bellwether, especially with trump involved. Poll seems within moe. https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2023-11-22/a-left-turn-for-democrats-in-new-hampshire
