She also doesn’t seem to know the difference between Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan, since she’s clearly meaning to reference him. Also, how can one be “more conservative than Attila the Hun”?

I suppose 95% of Americans don't know the difference between Attila & Genghis Khan either so this ad obviously fits the demand :dunno: In a two-party system like US the only thing that matters is "we are good, them are bad", period :lol:

Good luck, Americans!  We’re worried about you.  According to Joe Biden, 200 Million of you are going to die from Covid, possibly as early as today.  :(

Good news, America!  Today Joe Biden is saying only 200 Americans have died of COVID.  That’s 199,999,800 lives saved in just 24 hours!

This seems like either a deep fake thingy or an incredibly out-of-context bit of video. Oh well, not like some obscure site like that can be expected to do anything else :d

I think both 200 million and 200 deaths are not deep fake or out-of-context bits but simple slips of the tongue.

The point is that he was reading both numbers off a teleprompter without understanding them.  If any normal person made that mistake in speech they would correct themselves because they would immediately know it was ridiculous, but Biden just chatters happily on without a connection between brain & mouth.

Biden's health condition is really a concern but I guess it's not crucial for voters. People vote for him either with strong liberal ideology or just hating Trump. He just need to keep alive.

the second type of voters you mentioned is the worst type, sorry but a policy of voting to someone just because you hate the opponent is idiotic and even dangerous

The thing is, mental health is a major worry for both candidates, both seem incredibly unstable and incoherent when they speak. Which is a perfect example for the current state of American politics, I suppose.

    • 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...
