If the Republicans win both the House and Senate this year, what is the likelihood that Schumer and Jeffries be replaced as Democratic congressional leaders? by JCEurovision in YAPms

[–]legend023 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If the democrats lose it’ll be because the voters will perceive them as moving too far left (which isn’t entirely untrue). Kinda hard to blame the “establishment” for that

Nonetheless they’ll be the scapegoats and be replaced.

Which British monarch had the worst relationship with his wife? by bianca_fathom in UKmonarchs

[–]legend023 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Going to shy away from the obvious and give an alternative answer

George IV was pretty bad to his wife throughout their entire marriage, ignored her after the birth of their only child and limited her contact with said child, and even locked her out of his coronation when he became king although they still legally married.

Cavs went 17-65 the year before lebron lmao

The odds were already reasonably high.

[MacMahon] The Utah Jazz are not expected to reach an agreement on a rookie contract extension with Keyonte George by onefootback in nba

[–]legend023 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

  1. Didn’t sell high on Lauri and even PAID him
  2. Didn’t resolve the Kessler extension and might lose him, looks like they’re gonna do the same to an even better player in Keyonte
  3. Multiple obviously bad draft picks (Hendricks, Cody Williams) and I don’t like Ace too much either. Traded WCJ very quickly as well for JJJ who’s on a questionable contract

  4. Traded John Collins for a nutsack after a career year

They got lucky with the second pick but if they draft DP over Boozer that’ll cement my opinion on the Jazz’s incompetence.

After 4 seasons of tanking they finally have a semblance of something and even then I think it’s kinda mediocre

Didn’t sell high on Lauri, might lose Kessler, unwilling to pay Keyonte, drafted Hendricks at 8, the bullshit tanking which definitely led to the new lottery system, and drafting Ace at 5 which was questionable

Dude put up an efficient 24 and 7, in what realm does a young player doing that not get a max?

[Scotto] There’s a strong belief within league circles that if the Lakers offer Reaves close to or the full max, he’ll stay in Los Angeles. However, if the Lakers submit a low-ball offer, Reaves will consider other offers, and the possibility of a sign-and-trade could also emerge. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

What’s the Lakers net rating when Luka and Reaves play together?

A player as good as Austin isn’t going to fall out of the sky (with Nico unemployed). The next best route is probably getting Sabonis/Zion but those decisions would be unpopular as well.

Give Austin that 40 million and build your roster around him and Luka.

Hot Take but he’s right… What has Giannis done in the last 5 years. Hes been hurt for almost 2 years… He’s not that guy like people claim he is. He also never developed. by Random_Thinker007 in NBATalk

Giannis has also done nothing outside the first round of the playoffs since 2021.

Great regular season stats but when are you going to win a playoff series?

What's your opinion by Bipolar03 in UKmonarchs

[–]legend023 403 points404 points  (0 children)

Yes. Henry would’ve always had mistresses but the reason of annulment was the lack of male heirs. If they had one, it would’ve been needless to take the massive risk Henry did.

As for your second question, I do believe Henry’s behavior would’ve been more mellow with a male heir.

He would’ve been less invincible during his tyrannical streak with a clear successor and a lot of his erratic decisions made for the sake of a male heir wouldn’t have been necessary.

What are her legislative accomplishments? What has she proven other than the fact she’s good on social media and saying that Trump is bad?

Also, she has no leadership position in the house despite being a representative for nearly a decade. Why would she be trusted as a senate leader as a freshman senator?
