Trump on the offensive for a nomination. Suppose it makes sense as it’ll help him out hugely if he ever wants to challenge any charges brought against him post term.
This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

Thought this was interesting
“If Trump nominates a Supreme Court Justice to replace Ruth, Republicans will have nominated 6 of the 9 Supreme Court justices, despite winning the popular vote just ONCE in 28 years.”This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

Leinster not good enough by a long shot. Giants among midgets in the PRO14.
This is England v ireland in the 6Ns in March all over again. Just not able for that next level of physicality so the basics go to shit. Scrum, half backs shitting the bed, cant manage a lineout maul. Exposing Lowe under the high ball.
Fair play to Saracens because they are doing ireland/Leinster a long term favour here in ruthlessly exposing the issues. Well beaten last year and didn’t really acknowledge that. They won’t be able to dodge this one. I’ve been nervously awaiting this match all week and unfortunately it’s coming to pass.

No scrum no fun.
Beaten in every facet of the game for that 40 mins. Saracens didn't do anything marvellous other than their try. Seriously offensive defence and a scrum that's well on top has had them walk all over Leinster.
The curse of 2020 will see Reed shoot -3 today, mark my words.

Good second half from Leinster, but Saracens were able to soak and concede knowing the clock was against us.
Gross way to finish the season - at least we didn't go out completely whimpering, but first 40 was chastening.
Now to turn into Fr Jack and watch the golf and swear at the Muricans doing well.

It’s cup rugby and Saracens played it well. Leinster showed the future in the second half. Robin McBride has work to do to mould the younger men in the tight 5 into a unit. But I think their day will come. We need to get Porter back on the loose side and Furlong back on the pitch. Also a higher standard of backups on the LH and TH side. But the future of Porter, Kelleher, Furlong, Ryan and Baird is bright.
Toner, Healy, Cronin are past it. Great servants and owe nobody anything but unfortunately past it. Healy in particular is a fucking legend. Time to start dialling back on Sexton too tbh. Plenty of quality coming through at 10.
Time to start renewing and refreshing if Leinster want a shot at the european cup and ireland at a World Cup.
Some kick in the stones for topping the rankings to get Saracens at home with nothing else to play for and with no home support. Cest la vie.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

Just checked that and see my man Harris English is well up there, although an 80/1 winner still wouldn't make up for that.

Absolutely sick, the odds on pogacar was something like 20/1 to win TDF this morning.No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

Looks like a lot the teams came to the same conclusion.

I liked both of them , the tour hey days then along came Indurain. (I forget the spelling) . Always a great spectacle . Despite the druggie undertones some of Armstrong tours were great TV so boss . Pog and Rog are going nowhere . Not forgetting we have a GREEN JERSEY in the bag .

I presume any teachers with long-term issues known to be affected particularly badly by covid would have doctor certs, in any case? You might be maybe more sympathetic if most of them hadn't just sat on their asses since Feb and not made a slightest effort to do things like zoom classes with the kids. I gather most of them didn't. So basically they haven't worked for 7 months.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

One of Mrs Lao Lao's mates is a primary school teacher. She started back a few weeks ago and said when they went back in, there was zero PPE gear for staff, like, absolutely nothing. All the teachers went out and bought all their own stuff.
Not saying unions aren't cunts at the best of times but there may also be actual issues.

Did you have daily zoom classes?
At the end of the school year she created a montage video and presentation with a highlight reel of all the submitted vids. It was fantastic.
She was a trojan. Doubt she was in the minority.
If anything's lazy it's your assumption.

20% of secondary schools put all classes online. About 50% put more than half of classes online. 50% couldn't even put half their classes online. And that's at secondary level where exams were a big driver. That's an ESRI study. So only 20% replicated teaching through the simple act of opening zoom that is not difficult to do.
Simple act my hole too. In March nobody had a clue what Zoom was, let alone trying to figure out how to get 30 kids and their parents familiar with it.
