Ironically when he got in his seat they had to sit on the tarmac for 4 days whilst they transported a pilot over from East Midlands Airport in a Taxi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appeared on celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins last year, where he revealed himself to be a complete nutter when he totally lost his head and tried to choke out one of the other contestants in one of the tasks. Which in turn lead one of the instructors afterwards to say 'he's the first person I've ever seen where you wonder the what hell is going on in his head'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also showed little or no remorse when asked about his brother in the same program. A very peculiar individual indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted March 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) The lady lawyer who spent November and December making up increasingly rococo conspiracy theories about why Trump *really* won the election has a very bold claim in her defence in the defamation trial brought by the company that made voting machines she repeatedly insisted were fraudulent: Edited March 22, 2021 by HanoiVillan 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I'm curious to know whether the idea suggested by Bill Kristol here: of Cuban annexation is an idea that has any actual institutional, think-tanks-kicking-it-around-type support, or if it's just purely expert trolling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House has already started moving a D.C. bill. I could see the US making a further play for Greenland (resource rich, people poor), and some cut out of the Arctic. Maybe make Guam a state to annoy China. Cuna has long historical links since they took it from the Spanish, Manifest Destiny and all that baggage too. Equality... or some such. Silence from all the usual congressional suspects. I wonder who'll be the first to slyly mention taking in poor ol' Brexit.

I know you're not asking me, and I'm not trying to step on @villakram's shoes - I would like to hear his answer - but as I understand it, the main argument against is the one you have pre-empted (that it constitutes a kind of gerrymandering as Democrats would always win), but there is a common argument from people on the right that 'retrocession' would be better; this would incorporate DC into either Maryland or Virgina. There are different flavours of this suggestion; the first is the idea of completely incorporating the city in one of those states; the second is the idea of a 'shrunken DC', in which 'DC' becomes literally just the White House and the Capitol building and the associated buildings in the area, while the city joins one of the states; and the third is of DC remaining a separate administrative area but giving city residents the right to vote in congressional elections in either Maryland or Virginia. All of these ideas have their own administrative and logical problems, but they do have a certain simple logic to them ('why do you need to create a whole new state where you win all the time, if your main problem is a lack of congressional representation?') 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 There is also the issue with D.C., being the seat of power, already benefitting from implicit representation and that the appropriation of additional congressional representation would unfairly empower this particular federal construct.
