So much for the new President ending the War on Drugs making any difference :p I mean how can people be so naive about it? The Sinaloa, Zetas & Gulf cartels keeps doing their thing. Pablo Escobar & the Colombians are glorified with these fancy TV shows while Mexicans are just stacking up the body count year after year. What else is new? :dunno:

It's gonna be interesting.

 

The country is getting more divided like all seasoned democracies do :p Biedron & Kosiniak-Kamysz got less votes combined than the far-right Bosak :lol:  It's hard to imagine how Napieralski got 13,5% ten years ago and now the highly-touted Biedron collapsed below 3%. He can duly bogger off to European Parliament and stop wasting everyone's time. Obviously Kosiniak-Kamysz is the big loser. Polish society wants more of the PiS-PO showdown :coffee:

As TVP associated Trzaskowski with LGBT more than Biedroń, he took his votes.

French Olympians have been sharing their outrage on Twitter after some pictures of athletes were vandalized at the (French Palace of Sport? I’m going off translate here.)

LGBT votes won't win any elections in Poland. Civic Platform sits on the LGBT fence forever and Trzaskowski won't change a thing. Biedron hardly did any better than the much ridiculed Magdalena Ogorek five years ago despite years of service in Sejm and the media-friendly personality. The post-communist left-wing is truly dead in Poland :lol: Though I believe Zandberg would give them more votes than Biedron who can't talk about anything other than LGBT rights. His tune got old a while ago already.

I wouldn't say that having socialist (even if national-socialist) government for five years and the presecutor from communist martial law times as a member of Constitutional Court chosen by votes of the now ruling majority.

I was talking more about a left-wing party capable of winning votes. Law & Justice took away the social funding & support for the working class while Civic Platform took away the liberal ideology and LGBT support so to speak. Divide & conquer!

 

Robert Biedron got 4x less votes than the left party alliance in the Parliament elections last year :p  He even got beaten by the nationallistic Krzysztof Bosak in Slupsk despite being a President of that city which allegedly showed Poland is ready for openly gay person in charge. No, we're kinda not ;)

    • 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.
