A jockey that has only “marginal control” over his ride is going to be an unemployed jockey. It isn’t those other sports, it’s horse racing. Aside from the obvious accident and injury risks, allowing “blocking” would quickly lead to easily fixed races which would undermine the entire thing. 

It is literally his job

Co-signed. Like most Frontline episodes, it made my blood run goddamn cold, but I was thankful to have sat through it. Highly recommended.

“the journalistic work that goes into locating and then identifying some of these people is really significant and necessary.”

Things must be changing if their lawyers advised them to plead out. Until recently the advice would be to plead NG and wait for the inevitable hung jury because you can’t get a jury in America without at least a couple of racist supremacists on it who want to pwn the libs. If that is changing, even a little, to shift…

I think it’s too early for me to really know my top contender, but I’m mostly feeling #nooldwhitemen2020. We’ve had enough to last us for the next 200 years.

No one yet because there is no one left enough.

I’ve always said (half-seriously) that the most plausible scenario is time travel tourism.  Some far future society saying “ooh, on this timeline a senile sociopath was chosen to lead the most powerful country on earth. Gotta see how this one ends!”

Not really, if they have such advanced technology that they can zip through the galaxy and find us, we are like low grade herd animals to them, and our planet looks pretty ripe for the harvesting.
