    I don’t think we do/will have a worse squad than last year. So often we just think in terms of additions. Players like Garner, Onana, McNeil, Patterson are very likely going to be better and that boosts the squad. It’s also likely we get more out of DCL. We have more stability in management. 

    Our problem is depth. It's fine and well if these players get better, but we're a couple of injuries away from having an extremely weak starting 11. DCL's injury spells have shown that over the last couple of seasons. Add in the fatigue that comes with the PL, and then we're really testing our luck. If we fail to increase numbers (and any new numbers fail to adapt) we're absolutely in the same position (or worse) as we were last year.

    I am sure he will but the point I am making is that any appeal will be stronger if he can show that political leanings of the judge (as evidenced by her previous harsher than recommended sentencing on others involved in the Capitol riots) affected both the outcome of the trial and the sentence. Similarly, the location of the trial may also be cited as being impartial. If the prosecution remove those arguments from him, have they not disarmed him in advance?

    I don't think it should be moved. As far as a harsher-than-recommended sentencing for the Capital riots goes, who is to say how harsh they are relative to other sentencings when something like that hadn't happened before, at least in modern US history? Either way, you're using one scenario to justify why it should be moved in order to give your guy a better shot at not being convicted -- normal. If the US justice systems works, then the judge will be impartial and the jury will make a decision based on the facts and information presented. 

    I don't plan to respond anymore though. I'm over talking about Trump, and he'll get his day (again and again) in court. He's a stain on democracy, and anyone who defends him and the damage he's done to my country isn't worth the time.

    We will have to see how it plays out but I do think the prosecution is already offering Trump grounds for appeal if he is convicted. Surely it would be better, from a prosecution pov, to nip that in the bud now by changing the judge and trial location.

    He will appeal if he loses no matter the circumstances.

    Then, if you believe in justice, you believe that Trump is innocent until proven guilty, don't you?

    At the moment, in a legal sense, he is innocent until proven guilty. I do, however, have the personal opinion that he is guilty based on the information and facts that are currently out there. There can be a distinction without compromising “justice.”

    I haven't been this pumped for a season two of a show in a long time. It was one of the most original, thrilling things I've seen.

    Agree on so many levels. It was fantastic and ended on a perfect cliff hanger. Way better than I expected. I'll probably rewatch it right before season 2 comes out.
