hmm

It will be damn funny if after all the scummies useless trolling, they lose this match.
Their thread go turn war zone.

madrid5:
does "uneducated"white people are still more education by far than blacks,latinos,apart from that you are right,I just checked previous popular votes though the difference is miniscular,like 51-49

I'm having a hard time understanding your post but as to the minor difference, that is because the major third parties which are an offshoot of the democrats and siphon votes from them.

NinjaMetahuman:
Mad game

I tell you. The EPL games today are quite a goal fest.

Nezzsnr:
See Corn sha...


But on a more serious note.... Owerri has been an haven for Gboys and Runz girls

I Dey always follow that Contro-Egbu Road whenever I'm going to school

There are genuine ways of making money but we just want to hit it quickly

Did you school in Imo state?

BlueAngel444:
I must thank u n ibime for seeing just blueangel. Thanks

You are the one that goes to their thread and instigate all these rubbish, more so you don't when to call it quits even when the arguments have far devolved into a mess.

madrid5:
the democrats have higher number of supporters is just audio lol,you mistake Twitter noice to supporters

Democrats do have the higher support. As a matter of fact, the major third parties like the green party and others are offshoots of the democrat party. You think it's by chance that the last two republican presidents lost the popular vote and won only by the margins? The vast majority of black people, brown people and immigrants all vote democrats. While the republicans are predominantly white uneducated voters.

afrodoc2:
I get your point. But they are not going to try that.

If FDR who was arguably the most popular President at that time and was doing it for a worthy cause (I.e push his New Deal reforms through the courts) could not succeed in increasing the number of justices what makes you think anybody would succeed now?

Then there is the problem of ever increasing number of justices as each party increases the number once it is in power. Before you know it there are 863 Supreme Court Justices. Lol

Well, if politics has thought us anything, it is that change is constant.
The republicans will leave the democrats little choice but to do this and if the democrats do make this massive change, it is certain that every election will now have massive stakes, one that ties directly to the Supreme Court appointments.
This will inevitably drive up election participation and you know that the democrats do have higher number of supporters than the republicans.

Expert17:
Egungun be careful.

Quality intellectual discourse that will lead to dragging of family.
Kwantinue

Good discussions should not be set aside because of fear of the potential rancidity of its participants. You guys are messing up the thread with your meaningless trollings. I mean, does it make sense to you spending 3 whole weeks arguing the price of one player? Abeg make una use una head for this matter.

raumdeuter:
That will be a dangerous path to tow. So you change long standing tradition to favor you? Then anytime the republicans get the majority in the future they also increase it to 15, next democrats increase to 19 next republicans to 23. Is that not an invitation to anarchy?

If that is the way you think they will approach it, then senate currently seeing that republicans will lose California state can reduce California electoral college point and increase Alabama to 70 electoral college point

You see where I am going. If every party start changing laws because it doesn't favor them

Mitch himself changed a long standing tradition by refusing to even hold a nomination confirmation hearing of a Supreme Court nominee by the sitting president. If he and his cohorts would do that 10 full months before an election, why on earth, would they reverse this trend just 4 years later with just 45 days to the elections?

Furthermore, on the question of the electoral college numbers, that is not just a tradition but a constitutional law. States electoral college numbers are directly proportional to that state's population determined via the census. State's cannot do anything about that.

fingers crossed as to what to expect but the next 45 days of American politics is bound to get bloody metaphorically speaking. Let's see how this situation develops.

Ibime:
Mesef tire.

Na BlueAngel444 dey give them oxygen to continue that useless debate.

The quality of trolling has plummeted here.

Indeed it has. I was just frustrated reading more than 20 pages of rubbish. That blueangel really needs to take their time, seems they're responsible for this.

raumdeuter:
The justice need to die or retire for any president to replace them. So if a Democrat rules for 8yrs have senate majority but no opening as in no judge dies or retire, then what?
The judges appointed by Trump Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are young and can be in the court for 30yrs

afrodoc2:
If a god-like figure like FDR couldn’t succeed in doing it despite a rallying cry of social reform you think any Democrat would attempt it now?

It would be an obvious case of trying to stack the court and the public backlash would ensure its failure.
Not going to happen.

You both still don't get my point.
The number of Supreme Court justices being only 9 is not a constitutional law but simply a tradition. One that can simply be altered by congress. As a matter of fact, there were once 10 Supreme Court justices in the 1800's. If the republicans ditch their honor and pick a conservative justice to replace RBJ, nothing will stop the democrats from increasing adding at least two Supreme Court justices to the bench to make it 11 once they regain the majority

afrodoc2:
That is not how it works. The Senate Majority can’t just flood the Supreme Court when they choose. The power to influence the composition of the court lies with the President.

The President makes the nomination. You can’t confirm someone not nominated by the President.

And he can only make a nomination if a justice dies or resigns.

No matter the majority a Republican President would just keep on nominating conservatives until one is confirmed and a Democrat would keep on nominating liberals until one is confirmed.

So a majority is not as significant as you would think.

I know that the president makes the nominations. I'm saying that if the democrats win both the presidency and the majority on both houses, they can increase the number of supreme court justices from only 9. the last president who attempted this was FDR. If moscow mitch succeeds in making it a 6-3 conservative court, democrats will have little choice but to increase the number of supreme court justices when they win the majority.

raumdeuter:
Politicians don't care about what they said yesterday, they only care about what favors them at the moment

Mitch McConnell already said he is going to confirm anyone Trump nominates even though he was against Obamas nominee when Justice Scalia died in February
2016
Republicans only need a simple majority to confirm the next judge.

I think RBGs death favors Republicans cos this might tilt the supreme court 6-3

Yea, i know it favours the republicans since they hold the majority in the senate. I'm asking as to the effect it will have on the general elections, which party do you think this situation will favour more in the upcoming generals?

afrodoc2:
The Republicans apart from being lucky to have had more Presidents than the Democrats in recent history (hence more Supreme Court appointments) have also appeared to play the Supreme Court game better.

They will definitely try to push a nomination through before the election.........just in case Trump loses. That would be crazy cos it would mean Trump would have appointed 3 justices in 4 years.

If the republicans do this now, nothing will stop the democrats from flooding the supreme court benches when they win the majority. That will be the only way forward for them.

Roland17:
RIP Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. What a brilliant and intelligent human!!!!
#RBG

The next few days of american politics are about to become very brutal. There is simply no way they hold a confirmation hearing for her seat, not after what they did to Obama. Do you think this incident favours the democrats or the republicans more in the coming elections?

cc. Ibime, raumdeuter etc.

Qstorm:
No way she's resting in peace, the hottest parts of hell are kept for when witches like her drop dead. Not shedding a single drop of tear for the old fart.

And at the end, you claim to be a christian. You are cursing a powerful and influential supreme court justice who just died because you are ideologically opposed to her, in your rat-infested brain, does this make sense to you? this just brings out the blatant hypocrisy, hatred and prejudice of you so-called christians.
You will die as wretched and stupid as you currently are and nobody will remember you. fool.

20 whole pages of meaningless back and forth about how much we spent on one player. You guys have really driven down the level of quality intellectual discourse here.

The boss' words.

Omo I joined the Chelsea League H2H league only for me to check my score today and see I was kicked out.

What a wawu

I apologize. My bad, it was a mixup.

gameweek fdr 2 to 7.

Good stratagem.

iamoyindamola:
Moanrinho is a disgrace, this man can't even claim responsibility for his team instead he will blame his players, officials and media for his failure.
He fvcking set up the team

Mourinho should have taken a full year sabbatical and refreshed well before choosing a team. I wonder what he was expecting going to spurs that will rarely buy the quality players he needs.
With what i saw today, it won't be long before he is sacked. That team looked lifeless.

Ibime:
Everton will be formidable this season

We predict this every season because of their fine recruitment the last few years but they end up faltering badly. One can only be patient to see how consistent they are.

Irrespective of your political leanings, I urge you all to watch and learn from this objective analysis.

Ibime:
Hmmmm. It will take backseat to FA Cup. Usually people want to be in only one H2H competition so they can adjust their team to their opponents team each week. Having two H2H leagues means you will prioritise one and ignore the other

Hmm, I really didn't think about it this way. I've always participated in multiple H2H leagues previously and my main aim is just to set up my best teams and hope that my position stabilizes at the top in the long run.
anyways, let's watch as it pans out.

Ibime:
Just realised you did the Chelsea fan league in H2H mode. Why not league mode?

I just thought the cup format will be more fun and i limited the participants to exactly 38 so that everyone faces each other once during each gameweek.

So far Ibime is the highest scorer in the league. Let's see how long he lasts there.
