No problems with appointing a social conservative to SCOTUS. Trump campaigned on it. The bathroom bill was just plain silly.
What on Earth are they doing in California - do they have only half a dozen people counting the whole damn State? Hurry up Sacramento, some of us are waiting for bets to pay out!!
This is going to upset those who thought yesterday YouGov had Leave on 68%
By 46% to 43% those polled by YouGov say it was right to vote to leave the EU
Perhaps, the most interesting thing is the fact that Remainers are more likely to believe we did the right thing in leaving, then leavers believe we did the wrong thing. Likewise, Remainers seem less certain about the wisdom of their vote - only 87% sure we made a mistake.
That suggests that events, post referendum, have moved people marginally towards Leave.
On the more mundane leadership issue, it goes without saying that Theresa continues to whup Jezza's backside, but Labour are now:
18 points behind the Tories on Brexit, and third behind UKIP; 22 points behind the Tories on the economy; 22 points behind the Tories on Laura Norder; 13 points behind the Tories on immigration, and third behind UKIP.
Labour aren't even competitive in their weak areas, whereas the Tories have a puncher's chance of the lead on the NHS and Education, supposed Labour strengths.
Two thirds of Labour 2015 voters cannot bring themselves to say that Corbyn would make a better PM than Theresa.
On Leave/remain numbers - I reckon the Tories would win a GE by about five to six million votes.

" Post Election Rundown: A 51 hour journey of a single ballot"
(Too long too post here, it's 10 steps long)
So long story short, they count them in a machine, then they count them a 2nd time by hand, then a 3rd time by a machine, then a 4th time by hand, then they move them somewhere else to counted a 5th time by hand, then they scan them all, and then they move all the scans to be counted.
And of course:
"Post Election Rundown: 174 observers, 1 million ballots and provisionals"
"In recent days we have had up to 174 observers on-site at a single time, observing the post election ballot counting and processing."
What on Earth are they doing in California - do they have only half a dozen people counting the whole damn State? Hurry up Sacramento, some of us are waiting for bets to pay out!!
The attitude in America is that as soon as the overall winner is known there's no particular hurry to finish counting all the votes. "Why spend money on something that doesn't matter any more?" seems to be their way of looking at it.
There goes his 2020 primary hopes in the Democratic party.
Rumor has it a black family is being moved out of their home to make way for an immigrant.....
Well according to the revised exit polls (final estimates will come next year), 1 in 7 african american men voted for Trump.
It varies from state to state, but the most impressive number is 42% of Hispanic men in Arizona voted for Trump, a 17 point increase from Romney.
All in all the only group which Trump performed worse than Romney were rich whites, which is also evident in the county map.
A load of rubbish !
There was a swing to Clinton compared to Obama in AZ. It wasn't the WWC that was doing it. It was the surge of Hispanics.
2012: R 53.7% D 44.6%
2016: R 49.5% D 45.4%
So, where do you get this guff from ?
It wasn't Hispanics, it was Wealthy Whites, you can also notice it on the county maps, Trump gained along the US-Mexico border particularly in Texas, it was the cities that moved to Hillary.
Here look at it yourself, compare the 2012 Exit Poll with the 2016 Exit Poll:

I always liked Thanksgiving, as a very family oriented and uncommercial festival with a very positive vibe. We continued it in my family for some years after returning from the States.

Early chatter of a GOP rebellion over the Sessions appointment. Hopefully Trump and his team reconsider, it would be an absolutely terrible idea. Conservative I understand, openly racist against blacks, I don't.
Trump seems to be very focused on appointing racists and white supremacists onto his senior team. The silence from the right about this is deafening. You are one of the very few on here, for example, who has unambiguously condemned it. Previous - and rightful - right-wing outrage over Labour anti-semitism now has a lot more context: it was partisan, nor principled.
We're not going to "sever all ties with Europe! What are we going to do, sail away to Diamantina?
That's what people voted for. The government has to deliver it sooner than immediately.
They voted to leave the EU. The EU isn't Europe.
The Nats have the same problem, forever equating the SNP with Scotland.
In political, diplomatic and economic terms the EU is Europe. We will be severing ties with THAT Europe, or possibly trying to work out a new semi-detached relationship with it.
The SNP/Scotland conflation is a different type of issue. Maybe the equivalent is Brexiteers claiming to speak for Britain.

Thanksgiving is a great get together for family and friends, a great tradition. Over the years our family has enjoyed many good memories.
Another great Thanksgiving tradition - I am reliably told by a fan - is at 4pm, when Dallas always plays at home. (there is also the Detroit home game at 1pm, but who cares about that?)
Mr. Meeks, one trusts you slapped them around the head and neck with a large fish?

I see the EPL has signed a contract with a Chinese entity for 'up to' $700 million for online streaming of games in China for 3 years. By NFL standards the amount is fairly miniscule but props to the EPL for starting to bid up TV contracts.

From that article: Pompeo supported the federal Government shutdown of 2013, blaming President Obama while acknowledging that the Republican Party could take a hit from the shutdown. He stated that he believed the shutdown was necessary to avoid a predicted "American financial collapse 10 years from now.
I wonder what Pompeo and like-minded Republicans feel about the fiscal deterioration predicted for the Trump regime, compared with the Obama situation he was striking against.
Chorizo, Rosemary and Potato pizza in the fridge for this evening. Given I'm moping around with a stinking cold I've been looking forward to it all day.
Good grief! If you have a stinking cold a pizza will not do you any good. What you need is a damn hot curry; whisky with lemon juice, honey and glycerine topped up with hot water (lots of those drinks) and an extra blanket on the bed.

There is no doubt that the result in Arizona was close because White Democrats surged, but that was countered by Hispanic men going Trump.
In Pennsylvania you also get the same pattern with African American men (14% for Trump vs 1% for A.A. Women).
These are from a poll. Do you still believe in polls or only when it suits you ? So the White vote went to Clinton - only in AZ and the Hispanic vote went to Trump - only in AZ ?

I also believe in Results.
And the results say that outside of Southern California, Trump indeed got more votes from minorities than Romney.
Hillary only recorded a swing in her favour among wealthy urban whites (the Micheal Bloomberg vote).
The Texas, N.Mexico and Colorado county results are definite proof of that alongside with the Philadelphia precinct results and Georgia.

Each to their own, Mr. Glenn. I prefer the Indian to the fully oriental but I think the principle is the same.
For the past few years I have been cold free and I put this down to taking the medicine on a precautionary principle. Once I have had my flu jab in October I switch over to at least one good hot curry a week and a whisky, lemon, glycerine and hot water drink after my morning walk every day. If I feel a sniffle coming on then its straight to the curry house and double down on the medicinal drink, seems to work very well.

It is significant in the sense that it's overseas TV rights. The EPL must make far, far more from overseas TV rights than the NFL does.
Indeed how much does the NFL make from overseas TV rights? I think the amounts are so small that nothing has ever been reported.
eg NBC pays $1bn for 6 years of US rights to the EPL

Indeed - that's the PL's overseas rights for 2016-19 - marginally over £1bn per year.
The Chinese deal referred to in the earlier post isn't even in that number - because it runs from 2019 to 2022. The current Chinese deal for 2016 to 2019 is trivial in comparison.

I'd steer clear of the multiple title bets because the odds are short and the time frame long.
Interesting that beating Schumacher's win total (ie hitting 92) is 17, but reaching 100 or more is 34.
The only one I'd give serious consideration would be 5 for him to take the title next year. But that is a shot in the dark.
