Also, as much as I felt for the Ukraine players, I’d rather see Wales in our group than the Ukraine at this particular point history.

Especially in the opener.

I was at a resort in Mexico a few years ago and there were about 40 people from Wales there and they were the drunkest people in the history of the world.

Exactly. If we played Ukraine in our opening game, literally the entire world would be against us. Even Putin would probably don a blue and yellow scarf, and FIFA would let Zelensky be one of the linesman. Whereas the Wales supporters will probably be too drunk from pre-partying to even make it to the match.

I know him quite well, or did in law school, and have watched his antics for many years. A good friend and I have been speculating for months about whether he is going to get convicted. I would have said no, based more about my skepticism that someone acting like a lawyer would get held accountable, but as more emails come out, the odds are moving.

My question here is, should we believe that Ginni Thomas was telling him about the Justices' deliberations, or should we think that he was puffing up his access and knowledge. I'm leaning towards the latter, which in no way is an attempt to defend him.

eta: My thought that he was bullshitting is based on knowing him. This person came to the same place for different reasons.

eta: Fun fact: He and Liz Cheney went to law school together. She was a year behind him. He and Ted Cruz clerked together for Luttig.

He emailed Giuliani and asked to be put on “the pardon list”!

I know, right?

He would say that he was just anticipating the need to protect himself against politicized prosecution, just like he did when he pled the Fifth.

I would rather see the US boycott the corrupt travesty that is holding a World Cup in Qatar in stadiums built on the bodies of hundreds of migrant workers.

Everything you say is true. FIFA is hopelessly corrupt and has blood on its hands, as does Qatar. I will confess that I will watch anyway, which I guess is just another bit of hypocrisy in my life.

Well you’ve never owned that you posted Covid would be a non issue or that you posted there will be no difference between Trump or Hillary as President. So yeah, you’ve got some baggage.

Oh, this was a nice little bar in Glasgow. Lots of young'ns but we watched the season premier of season 8 of GOT there.

And I thought it was urban lore but you cannot order a Snakebite in Scotland. They will pour you a cider and a beer and you have to mix them yourself.
