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.

    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

    • impossible, there are not enough venues in both towns and I mean, Milan doesn't have an Olympic Stadium, a decent Tennis Complex and a big Swimming Complex (not to mention the sea) Rome, on the other hand, doesn't have a Rowing/Canoeing Basin nor arenas and stadiums for the team sports beyond football and rugby there's no chance that all those venues would be built from scratch, meanwhile if we use both cities we already have almost everything we need, especially the most expensive and controversial sites

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
