What's the Rule on This?

Most rule sets consider both balls pocketed.
WPA
8.3 Ball Pocketed
A ball is pocketed if it comes to rest in a pocket below the playing surface or enters the ball return system. A ball near the brink of a pocket partly supported by another ball is considered pocketed if removal of the supporting ball would cause the ball to fall into the pocket.

Both balls are pocketed.
I would take my Magic Jump cue and jump that white ball right out of the pocket.
Yes, in a perfect world I would.
If you were to remove either ball, would the remaining ball fall in the pocket?
Looks like Yes to either ball.

Both balls are counted as in the hole, and why on earth are you playing with what looks like a tiny cueball compared to the rest of the balls?
If you want to feel like a pro while drawing the ball, practice a bit. Having a differently sized cueball messes with a lot of shots.

Hmmm. My first instinct was to ignore you, but I feel like you're being unnecessarily rude. This is not my own table. I play with what is available to me. Why would you suggest that I'm playing with a smaller cue ball to feel good about my draw stroke? I draw the ball just fine. And by the way, the balls are the same size. Here's another picture I took at the same time.

Here is a pickchure of some really small horses, and then I hanged the 9.

Because a lot of people do just that, they play with a light / small cueball, and when playing with a regular cueball find it too hard and complain that the ball is bad. But they also don't know exactly why the cueball is easy to bounce around, just that it is. From the other picture they look to be different sizes.
