Huge win for progressives!

 
Moderates may have stolen the Presidential candidacy from us, but we’re stealing the House from them.

Nancy Pelosi exposed as a total hypocrite. Hair salloons are closed but political bozos can always have a blow dry at any point they want to :coffee:  And of course she doesn't wear a mask despite accusing Trump of doing the same :wacko: Pathetic.

I still stick to my prediction from last year that Trump will win. But after covid it will be very close (I said easily before).   

 

The further away from pandemic peak the more chances he has. Biden could have won had they been held 1 month ago.

Has Biden actually done anything in the last two months? Even at the convention they had some speeches by random people from home. Trump is all over the news as usual - good or bad - but Biden has gone invisible. That will be a curious way to win an election - by literally hiding away God knows where. I've come across more Nancy Pelosi news in the last two months :p I can understand Biden is afraid of COVID given his age but will he actually show up before November? :mumble:

Germans say Navalny was poisoned by old buddy Novichok.

This only underlines how much Russia is playing their own game while EU & everyone can bugger off (since this happened during the Belarus protests which for once shifted the focus from Putin to Lukashenko).

He’s gone. Completely senile.  Can only read from a teleprinter or Ipad, even when doing TV interviews, which must be carefully scripted in advance.  Cannot answer a spontaneous question.  Even when he is reading, if he loses his place he cannot get it back again or correct himself.  Look at this clip where he loses his place.

Trump isn't really better at that. He's just better at showing confidence while doing so.

Really shows one of the things working for Trump.  The fact that he makes just as much mistakes while talking barely gets any attention.

And that senile thing... He has done it pretty much all his carreer.

Sure, but when Trump does a rally he goes out & does impro for an hour, so naturally it sometimes veers off on a tangent.  It is literally over six months since Biden did a proper campaign event or a press conference.

Well yeah. Someone’s gotta make sure grandpa doesn’t accidentally say something insensitive. He’s not a bad guy, he’s just a little of touch.

 

Difficulty reading could be connected to his stutter. His mental shortcomings are probably part age, and part health issue.

A perfect recommendation for the world’s most important job, then.

    • WWE introduced two new Women's Championship belts. The first one introduced was the Women's United States Championship and not shortly after that the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Women's US Title will be exclusive to SmackDown and the Women's IC Title will be exclusive to RAW.
    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
    • You can do the  same thing with trump:   Trum , Trumpet ,Trumeau ,Trauma ....
