Geologically, Ireland is a British Isle.

The oldest rocks in the British Isles, 2.7 Billion year old rock, can be found in Ireland, Scotland and north Wales. Once, you were all the same island.

Well gay marriage in England is nice. Brexit, not so much. But the silver lining is that it gives us another shot at independence.

Depends on the results of the midterms, and how fast Mueller works. What will likely happen is the Democrats take the House and impeach Trump, but they don't have enough votes in the Senate, so they'll fail to convict and Trump will stay in office.

Even so, Trump's legislative agenda would fall flat with a Democratic House, which is good considering the damage his agenda has done.

There are still executive orders and other stuff Trump could do without Congressional approval, so don't count him out yet.

Jaslandia wrote:There are still executive orders and other stuff Trump could do without Congressional approval, so don't count him out yet.

Regardless, having a Democratic-controlled House is still an improvement and would impede much of Trump's legislative agenda. Why the pessimism?

Gualimole wrote:Regardless, having a Democratic-controlled House is still an improvement and would impede much of Trump's legislative agenda. Why the pessimism?

Indeed, a Democratic House would be an improvement and a big block to Trump. But beyond that, I'm not so sure, since Trump doesn't seem like the kind of guy to give up and not take advantage of a somewhat-undefined power like executive orders. He's already done some big things just with executive orders (transgender military ban, travel ban, taking the U.S out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, etc.).

And many of his executive orders and other such actions have been resisted, partially blocked, or even completely reversed. We have a judiciary for a reason.

Fair point. Those cases haven't fully been resolved yet, so the outcome is still up in the area, but even delaying helps. Let's hope the courts kick in again if Trump does more executive orders.

Honestly, I'll say this:

Regardless of what happens with this election and Trump, at least we can say "Now people understand that Russia didn't suddenly become our friends because they changed clothes". It's good because people are getting more educated on things like active measures.

Hello, all! I wanted to wish everyone a happy Easter! I would have posted this earlier, but we're always so busy on Easter weekend, the branch lines especially! Me and Thomas usually pull the chocolate bunny trains from Mr. Jolly's Chocolate Factory, though other engines help too by bringing extra flour, milk, and eggs to the factory. And then tomorrow, there's going to be a big Easter egg hunt hosted by the Vicar of Ffarquhar, and me, Thomas, and Toby are going to help by bringing the guests and supplies to Ffarquhar. I'm so excited! I hope all of you also have a fun and exciting Easter!

Not me. Edward says me and the other engines of Sodor are all 'a sexual', whatever that means. I'm not sure what a 'sexual' is, but I don't think that's what we are, since me and the other engines don't have what you would call 'sexual feelings'.

I'm surprised you would pull the chocolate trains, Percy. You haven't had great experience with chocolate in the past.
