Re: Highlanders vs Crusaders Match Thread
I'll be in a pub watching the game and cheering on the team. But I don't have high hopes.
How ridiculous is it that there's still a faint chance we could make the play off's?

Re: Israel Gaza war and protests
It’s hard to think of any President that would have opposed Israeli action from the start. Biden is hardly unique. Trump certainly wouldn’t be ruminating about Rafah, he’d be all in . Trump would be spending his efforts in Saudi Arabia and sending cruise missiles into Iran. He’s for a 2 state solut...

What I don't get is that if these people didn't buy the homes, they would be renting them - so it didn't change the equation at all really.

He wouldn't need to pardon himself as he would be immune from prosecution. So nothing to pardon.
He can then drive a tank over to the local GOP convention and start gunning them all down. "Nothing to see here".
