I’ve come to decision that I’ll be supporting Sanders in the primaries. He is our only hope.

All Americans have been advised to leave Iraq immediately. War with Iran in Iraq is very much a possibility at this point (though I very, very small think)

I can’t afford to after paying and arm, leg, and second arm for Tokyo tickets :p. I need to see what the media accommodations are too. 
 

Politics aside, there some passions we share: sports, film, and telling NOlympics to suck it :p.

 

I think it’s a good thing to focus on both similarities and differences.

 

 

Well then stop looking and tell them to suck it!

Yet another quote by Trump, where he pretty much literally says he is not fit to be president and where he admits starting a war with Iran is a way to get reelected and nothing else. Obviously everyone with a mind understands that already, but it's good to see him admitting his own foul play.

The guy has a bigger chance of dying in office than beating Trump IMO :lol:

 

Speaking more seriously, the more things change the more they stay the same. All the progressive talk. candidates of color yadda yadda and the best chance to beat an old white guy has another old white guy? That's brand new information!

 

I told ya before, Dems need to find the next Clinton or Obama. I'm not even gonna mention the next JFK because that's totally off the mark (not to mention he's still the only Catholic elected President, right?). I read some left-wing journalists saying Dems can't fall into a trap of trying to find the next Obama. Hell, that's totally wrong but the thing is, appeasing the minorities can't come at the expense of appeasing the actual majority! Take for granted all you want (inc. the blacks or Latinos) BUT in democracy it's still the majority that wins. Just how costly was losing the Rust Belt for crooked Hilary last time out? :p If the blue collars vote GOP, the Dems and officially screwed.

Trump on twitter :

 

....targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!

 

hundreds of Iranian protesters. He was already attacking our Embassy, and preparing for additional hits in other locations. Iran has been nothing but problems for many years. Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have.

 

Iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain USA assets as revenge for our ridding the world of their terrorist leader who had just killed an American, & badly wounded many others, not to mention all of the people he had killed over his lifetime, including recently....

 

As hard as I work, & as successful as our Country has become with our Economy, our Military & everything else, it is ashame that the Democrats make us spend so much time & money on this ridiculous Impeachment Lite Hoax. I should be able to devote all of my time to the REAL USA!

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
