I don't question that he was trying to retain the presidency. I'm saying there was no way for him to achieve that. Nickman's argument against this is " But there was a cop, right, who pointed left instead of right, and if he hadn't and lots of other things had happened and lots of things that ...

Yeah, nothing to see here at all, folks. Just your average, run of the mill mob storming the US Capitol hoping to interrupt the certification process of the next President while chanting “Hang Mike Pence”, “Hang that bitch” (referring to Nancy Pelosi) and “Hang Them All”. Kind of stuff like that ha...

Trump subtly nudging people is very different to him outright declaring himself president with a little help. I think the number of people willing to riot in support of an open declaration of insurrection would have been many times larger. Then if people start to see there’s a sizeable number of nu...

I still stand by the fact that things on Jan 6 could've gone horribly, horribly wrong if it weren't for the actions of one quick-thinking police officer. Of course, it's all complete speculation, who knows what would've happened, but to say it "wasn't even close" is just an absolute absur...

If Pence were hung and Trump declares himself president, I have to imagine he motivates a very sizeable portion of the population to consider civil war convinced that the legal process is against the true president. 0.0006% of the population were rioting in Washington. I take your point, but it's a...

Personally, I can't see how it protects democracy, when a President who has incited an insurrection and refused to accept the result of an election... and tried to overturn it in illegal fashion... is allowed to run for office again. Sure, there are some legal processes in play now, but that might ...

You just needed a few complicit generals and it easily could have been very different. If there is one thing Trump has demonstrated, he is not constrained by laws. The US military has been historically very reluctant to exercise powers under martial law (national guard may be a different conversati...

Yeah, but now you're circling back to my original point that they DID hold up because on the day a police officer managed to direct the angry mob in the opposite direction and usher the members of congress to safety. Trump then begrudgingly appeared on TV a few hours later and told the mob to stand...

Yeah, that and y’know, the whole armed insurrection he organised that went a whisker’s breadth of overturning a democratic election back in January 2021. I don't think it really did. Tell me what happens on a different day if that police officer doesn't turn the mob in the wrong direction and they ...

It's just the COVID backlog. Levels will return to normal shortly, and will still be below where they would have been if our Wuhanese friend hadn't dined on pangolin.

Shirley the CEO has to go for totally botching this up. Not that I follow it closely but it looked like Remie or Rennie (whatever his name is) was going ok with the **** sandwich that is Rugby Australia at the moment.

I think it's a very healthy dose of both. As far as i was told, Todd Carney was very much already on a path to destruction before the Raiders even knew who he was. There is a bit of family trauma in his background and he was already displaying significant behavioural issues I don't blame the club b...

Having had some involvement with young footballers coming from right across the country to Erindale, I have to disagree with you that Carney is a special case. I think you are letting your connection with Todd cloud your judgement. We’ll have to agree to disagree and I’m fine with that, I do get wh...

Carney shares a fair portion of the blame. But his Manager didn’t do him any favours by repeatedly ignoring and defending his clients obvious alcohol issues and declining the club’s initial alcohol ban offer. No wonder many players question the value of their manager outside of a contract signing p...

3000 TERRORIST children, mate. It's fine.

The 'no' campaigners handing out flyers at my local booth were all from the local Kabi Kabi community.

His form in predicting US elections, on the other hand, is scandalously poor

On another topic, this Hamas attack on Israel seems unprecedented in scope, seems to be well planned and executed, and it’s surprising the Israelis didn’t seem it coming. This is significantly huge, I have a feeling this could lead to a strike on Iran from Israel here. Big call my friend. Iran have...

One of the greats, who went a season too long.

Happy not to give a score on this one.
