[quote]So in your theory Ukraine can’t have elections until they get all their land back which now everyone including Ukraine admits is unlikely to happen so Ukraine will never have elections again making Zelensky a……. Dictator[/quote] I never said all of their land, because that isn't going to hap...

re: Starting SEC tournament towards beginning of week is crazy

Posted by Indefatigable on 5/20/24 at 11:49 am

[quote]I think the earliest it should start is on a Thursday. [/quote] There is really no way to do that unless they downsized it to eight teams and moved to single elimination, or only four teams and use a regional format. The tournament has to be wrapped up by Sunday evening. ...

[quote]Kind of like we did during the civil war[/quote] So if Zelensky was reelected via a vote of pretty much only the pro-western portions of Ukraine participating in the election, as he almost assuredly would be, you wouldn't be on here claiming that it was a fixed sham?...

[quote]Funny how Russia can somehow run elections just fine but Ukraine is using this as an excuse to install a dictator. [/quote] Their domestic situations are exactly the same, so I can certainly see your point. ...

[quote]Democracy![/quote] The inability to actually hold an election doesn't play at all with you? If Ukraine tried to hold an election with more than a third of its citizenry unable to participate, you would be right here claiming that it was a sham election and illegitimate. ...

[quote]England didn't have elections during either world war. [/quote] They had a wartime coalition government during both world wars that included the opposition, and it was before the fixed term parliament act (which has been repealed anyway). They also did hold an election in 1945 just befor...

[quote]If we were invaded by a foreign power or at Civil War our elections would be suspended as well.[/quote] We held elections during the War of 1812, the indian wars, and the Civil War. Not to mention during both world wars. That said, I don't know how Ukraine could hold elections right now...

re: Is Georgia a must win or are we in a regional regardless of outcome?

Posted by Indefatigable on 5/20/24 at 9:53 am

[quote]are we in a regional regardless of outcome?[/quote] I'm not sure we are 'definitely' in even with a W tomorrow. We certainly are not in regardless of W/L against UGA. 2 or 3 wins would be the least I would need to feel comfortable. We do not compare well with the other 13-17 teams (except...

[quote]Forcing large investors to sell rental homes and heavily taxing the investors is the wrong approach (“Home-Buying Firms Draw Lawmakers’ Ire,” Page One, April 30). Legislators should instead change the tax code that makes houses so expensive to families. Lawmakers should eliminate the tax-c...
