    This particular bond would be for Trump Org, not Trump personally. He pretended the two things were different and separate during his presidency. He lied (obviously), while all meetings with foreign dignitaries has to take place it his venues and money / gifts / trade deals were given to other members of the crime family.

    It will. He's still defaming E Jean Carroll. I suspect that will put off anyone wanting to lend money to someone with a record of not paying his debts.
  4. It's because @OutByEaster? won't use his Apple Wallet

    Whichever quota you are most deficient in.
  6. There isn't a debate. The egg came first. But not for this topic.
  7. It's probably a bug, but not worth escalating it unless we can reproduce it. I'll keep an eye open. Please tick solved / up vote.
  8. Sorry, I'd completely misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you were commenting on the "last post" on the index not matching the most recent post in the forum. You didn't mention posters and the subject doesn't help I' e been trying to reproduce it since I realised and I can't even though the match thread is so fast moving. Did you try clearing cookies and cache in case it's just something cached in your browser?
  9. Your ratings and reactions please. Keep it respectful even if you know everyone else is wrong. A mod will add the players to the MoTM poll later.
  10. West Ham v Villa Please do not mention streams or streaming in this thread. Please note that there is no distinction between legal or illegal, video or audio. If you aren't sure, it doesn't go in this thread. You will receive warning points if you ignore this.
  11. The site index pages show cached content, same as the sidebar dos. There will be mismatches. It's been like this for over 20 years

    Attempting to stop the peaceful transfer of power would be a standard example for any definition of insurrection. What's your definition?
  13. I've locked this as people have started talking about the fixture rather than the draw.

    Which was why they have the option of making a decision without setting precedent. If everything should be decided by the people, why have separation of powers?
  15. No idea for the first number (how would anyone know ), but the second is very small. Sm small that the motivation for voter ID was not related to fraud. I must admit, I usually hand mine in at my polling station as I'km usually local. It's not like they send them out at the last minute though.

    Who is "they" in this sentence? Phone networks can only trace you if you are both on the same network.. Apple claim that they are privacy first. Do you mean apps? If so, there's a simple solution.... You can turn all proximity stuff on Android, and I assume on iOS. On Android, apps have to specifically ask for permission to interact with local devices.
  17. It could be because it's proven difficult to get the word out about voter ID. You don't need voter ID for postal votes. Also postal votes tend to be good for people with busy lives .

    That would be fair, but only if the candidates are disqualified according to the constitution. Many people already are. I am disqualified and cannot be on a US presidential ballot. If people are hoping that everything will be fine this time, even with the evidence of the last election's aftermath, then I don't know what to say. In my opinion, if you allow the insurrectionist to get to a vote, he'll be much more of a problem, win or lose, than not letting him get to the vote at all. They could have chosen to adjudicate on this case without setting precedent and highlighted that this part of constitution needs clarifying by the lawmakers.
  19. I think most students still think of home as where they are from, not where they study. I don't have a strong feeling about which they choose to register in. I've had a postal vote since I was a student. I don;'t understand why most people don't have one. An increasing circle of my friends have them now. It means you can fill them in at your leisure rather than doing something on a certain day.

    The constitution is there to ensure that the republic persists. It is not there to preserve democracy. The tyranny of the masses is a bad thing. It is the job of SCOTUS to be the legislative branch of the republic. Section 14.3 is utterly clear that someone involved in insurrection against the republic is disqualified. It is not for SCOTUS or the people to decide this. It can only be changed by amending the constitution. If Trump is on the ballot and loses, there will still be people claiming it was rigged, etc. They committed insurrection last time. This decision doesn't affect how they will behave. The founders wanted to ensure that anyone acting against the republic was disqualified forever. I think SCOTUS have made things worse, regardless of the next election result. At least if they followed the constitution, history might have looked more kindly on them.

    The states do run their own "election systems". They always have. Citizens vote within their state and then members of the state electoral college votes for the president. They are supposed to vote according to the wishes of their electorate, but this is not required in law and different states do this part differently (some states have all electors vote for the winning candidate in their state, some vote reflecting the split of their electorate). This is the very core of at least one of the criminal cases he's fighting where he tried to install fake electors. The SCOTUS has decided that for article 14.3, the states do not run their own election. I can assume that a deal was done.
