Giving a player shit minutes at the end of games is not a recipe for a player finding and building form. Especially when there isn’t much stability in the squad, especially in positions that would link up with him the most. Don’t think Slot judges him fairly at all.

I think Wirtz’s was better from team perspective. It wasn’t as pretty, but it was closer to the kind of play that unlocks low blocks. We need more of that given everyone’s tactics against us. That said, Hugo’s goal was like Klopp’s LFC. Szobo’s pass to Wirtz was a peach.

It was fun and games while things were still relatively okay in the US. Now that shit is looking like it’s hitting the fan, suddenly government by trolling/shitposting isn’t funny anymore and Trump is looking for people to throw under the bus.

Billionaires (generally) hate taxes and regulation. There are more billionaires than there used to be. Republicans nowadays promise to get in the way of the government being able to function in almost any capacity. The motivation is clear.

People in the North wouldn’t have been happy the South coming back and slavery surviving. The war would look meaningless. Senators were not blind to this.
Politicians don’t do things out of the kindness of their hearts? No one told me!
Good thing the Republicans weren’t Union Democrats then.

Your argument is as specious as it is tedious and ahistorical. Sure, the amendment passed before the war ended… but wasn’t made the law of the land until Alabama, North Carolina, and Georgia ratified it in December of the same year. 8 months after the war ended.

And it might not have. Abolition might not have been popular before the Civil War, but I’m pretty sure the senators had figured out that slavery was part of the problem during the fighting. Pretty sure that readmitting the South without a slavery ban wouldn’t have been popular either.

Sounds to me like it really wouldn’t have mattered whether the union senators were popularly elected or appointed at the time. What seemed to mattered was that the former confederate senators and didn’t get a say in the matter.

House still has to vote by a 2/3 majority for an amendment to the Constitution to be ratified by the 3/4 of the popularly elected state legislatures (who appointed said senators). If it managed to clear all that, it must not have been that crazy of an idea in the first place.

Yes because appointed senators totally didn’t kick the can down the road every chance they got with their great compromises that ultimately divided the country so much that it had to go to war against itself to settle the issue.

Would have been problematic to keep it the way it was. Should the (arguably) more influential chamber of the legislature be that insulated from the people they ultimately claim to represent?

The same people who would have put Diddy posters on their wall would also have had posters of Suge Knight on their wall. Lucky for everyone, these people didn’t exist.
