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 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

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.

But the most important thing of the weekend for me (MotoGP/2/3) being in the early morning is lovely because it opens up the day so much     And yeah, Christmas is usually fun to take a look on Flashscore.com, especially the first day is the one day in the entire year where the whole page is almost entirely empty, with only a bit of football in very few muslim-majority countries
