Charlottesville, Virginia. It ended with a loss of life. But a good old fist fight wouldn’t be bad to watch ;)

Oh yeah. The one that ended up with statue removal?

No, a white supremist drove through a crowd protesting a white supremacy rally and killed some people.

I agree that antifa is violent and provacotive, but I think they are, at least in my nation, a necessary reaction to a violent right.

Too bad Antifa doesn't know the difference between violent far-right & just people on the right side lol
They need start being more Anti-Facist instead of downgrading to bunch of Losers.....

Crisis? I must have missed that :d The reaction to that here was mostly "huh, not that funny (because this specific comedian just isn't very funny), but it's always fun when people take parodies way too serious", and that's it :p 

 

Well, let me take a listen, I haven't listened this before. Not that much interesting, mostly stuff like "We are Israel, we are super sweet", "Is your country surrounded by rock throwers? Just build walls that give even Trump wet dreams" and in the part where the real 'song' goes like "I'm not your toy, you stupid boy" (or something) she sings "kijk eens hoe mooi, ik bommen gooi" = "look how beautiful, I'm throwing my bombs". "No no, I don't think so, not a Palestinian will enter. This party has been going on for 70 years. This is my party, I should shine here."

 

Something like that. Like I said, it's just a parody/bit of satire. I am not particularly entertained by this specific thing, but don't care much about it neither. It's a parody, get over it. Not like any sensible person here would care if someone would make a comparable parody of the Netherlands, because....it's a parody.

    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.

    • Was in a meeting so I wasn't following, so as soon as it ended, first thing I did was check the score.    Go Team !!   Thrilled to have both teams in Cortina. And don't need to go through qualifying in mixed doubles
