Yes, because I’m sure this will solve everything ?

Welcome to real life, sexual desire is universal for humans regardless of the political opinions. Though I can imagine the progressive liberals would only like to think conservatives and Trump supporters are the only ones who can behave that way and the Democrats are too perfect to exist. If this happened to a GOP candidate, New York Times & co. would be all over it. It's funny such a left-wing tube like The Guardian has to make a stance and ditch the usual political lines to make liberals look at least awkward.

 

It is what it is, those liberals who wouldn't have voted for Biden anyway won't change their mind now. All those who stay at home actually help Trump. It seems to me Republicans are not as divided as Democrats and people will vote for him because he represents the party even if they dislike Trump himself. Those Democrats who dislike Biden simply won't vote for him and that's the end of it.

I absolutely agree about sexual desire, and it’s absolutely fine to have it, but how you act on it is another thing. 
 

Yes, Democrats and Republicans both love to virtue signal. That’s one of the consequences of a two party system. I will say that Democrats have proven to be anything but perfect in recent years. It’s embarrassing as a journalist, that many respectable outlets aren’t even chasing this story. Plus, when one does (Chris Hayes on MSNBC) Democrats get #FireChrisHayes to trend on Twitter for two days. 
 

Yeah, the progressive wing (30% of the party) will seriously question supporting Biden now. The problem for Democrats is that they encompass everyone who’s not a member of the GOP essentially. There’s multiple wings within the party itself. We’re generally less united, and have a wider range of policies. The GOP has a very clear unity around what they believe, and that works to their advantage unfortunately.

We’d just straight arrest these idiots in California. I never thought Covid would be the thing to push us ever so closer to Civil War...

It’s like every hour American politics get crazier today...

The plot in the Biden scandal has thickened yet again. It’s become public knowledge that his campaign team went through some Senate record at the University of Delaware. He claims they were looking for proof that Tara Reade had submitted an official complaint. He says they didn’t find anything. When asked if he’d released what exactly his team went through, he said “there’s no need.”

 

So, he probably did it.

Canada, unlike the US, learns from massive tragedies.

Kim Jong Un show up in both video and photos. So major South Korean and Chinese media and officials are right about this. And CNN is a real major fake news media and many other small ones.

Calling CNN 'fake news media' because they mentioned there were rumours (it's not a normal thing for Kim Jong-un to not show his face for the opening of this thing or the celebration of some other random thing), lol. People tend to forget that CNN's main North Korea reporter literally said his sources had heard nothing worrying about Kim and the rumours about him being in trouble should be taken with a big grain of salt.

 

Even funnier when calling CNN fake news....compared with the state media of a semi-dictatorship :p

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
