If Trump’s conviction lands him in prison, the Secret Service goes too.
  • Incorrect. He has to have a reason for the appeal trial to be approved. His lawyers can file an appeal on any grounds they see fit. That then has to be processed, which takes time. But I'll fall back to the answer that I already gave as well, if he's given a sentence that includes any sort of time to serve, his lawyers will use that as a basis for appeal, which is clearly stated as a possible reason for an appeal to be approved.

  • You're operating on a fallacy. You can only be tried and convicted once per crime. Every single one is an opportunity for an appeal. Having more just increases the likelihood that there will be at least some possible appeal. The easiest route will probably be an appeal against whatever the sentence itself is once that's issued, especially if he's sentenced to serve time. But it doesn't matter; his lawyers will simply look for every single possible way to delay the process, as they have continuously done.

  • Exactly. I'm not defending Trump in any way shape or form. But spreading misinformation, disregarding nuance, and ignoring factual details is dangerous and exactly what Republican politicians want. We need to be better than that as a nation.

  • No, he had a sexual abuse charge, not rape. None of the above was a criminal charge, only civil.

  • While that may mean there is a technical component to it, that's not what people mean when they're thinking about it. Being put into a prison is what people are referring to and that isn't likely to happen.

  • It's not like Trump is going to prison for this. He's old, has no record, and did serve as president, regardless of how people feel about it. Plus, he's going to appeal, which means this thing will drag on long enough to still not matter, sadly.

  • The Price Is Right: a big ad space where the joy of winning is just a distraction from the true goal - to sell more products.
  • I don't disagree but that's less of a problem with good writing where the ad isn't forced or obvious...in fact, it can be much more effective if done that way versus taking you out of the moment and shoving the product in your face like "BUY THIS" during the middle of a touching scene. But at least with The Price is Right, it's just a gameshow and not some sort of drama or whatever.

  • So many people want to boil everything down to a soundbite or a singularity. The reality is that the creation of the show was probably multifaceted, with product sponsorship being one part of it and entertainment being another, which is why the show does what you mentioned. It is both fun and an up-front ad for products.

    ,..and there's absolutely nothing wrong with either or both. It is okay to sell shit and it's okay to have fun. At least there are some people out there like yourself who get that. Sometimes I lose faith because there seem to be so few who do.

  • What I said is statistically correct. IQ is a normalized measurement where median and mean are a score of 100 and the average is within 1 SD of 100. (The SD for IQ is 15.) This means that fewer than half will have below-average intelligence when measured using IQ because the lowest value for average is below the median.

  • Ironically, that's not how averages work.
