while I'm very happy that I don't have to see this guy anymore (or least much less)

 

but it's still really disappointing to see he gets more than 70 million votes (in a democratic and free election). he represents every bad thing you can imagine in a man. sexism, racism. lying consistently, ... I know most (if not all) politicians are not "clean" but he was 10 times worse than anybody else.

 

 

Wow, how a diferent point of view, for me is the best american president i have ever seen since Ronald Reagan.

The one that murdered thousands of Central American civilians by turning a blind eye to the "off-the record" arms trade, invaded tiny Grenada and then turned a blind eye when that other megalomaniac bitch Tatcher decided to massacre ill prepared Argentinian recruits at the Malvinas?

it's really unimaginable for me.

 

In our country, polling stations close on Saturday at 22:00 and in the morning on Sunday around 10:00 there is always a press conference with official results in almost all TV stations.

 

it always happened. always.

 

 

But again we are 5 and half milions so I guess that's also the reason :p

So with (let's assume) four years of Biden now and potentially four years of Harris after that, we might have a period of twelve full years (sixteen even if Harris goes double) without a president who speeches both with good articulation (Biden really doesn't), a comfortable voice to hear (Harris doesn't) and a pleasant and non-monotonous intonation (Trump basically speeches like a reading robot).

 

Obviously that's just a matter of opinion and taste and what they say is more important than voice or articulation, but all of these people make it even more clear what a phenomenal speecher Obama was (and still is).

The Reagan who accelerate the dissolution of the Soviet Union and made U.S.A winning the cold war, its logical that United States prioritize thier relantionship with U.K before Argentina, Reagan was clear with Galtieri several times about that, i cant blame for that.

Biden probably won't seek re-election in four years time and buggers off due to "health reasons". Since the Democrats are ultra-divided anyway I expect someone will challenge Kamala Harris for the nomination especially if the covid-recovery costs too much. The Trump excuse is off now and if economy remains in the gutter I expect a lot of internal bickering among the Democrats who'd like to pounce on the weak Biden tenure and have Harris swept away with him as well.

    • I think that It's a similar situation with Braahten in Norway but there are some differences:     - he's an adult, - his mother is Brazilian, - Norway has a lot of talent in technical events (although of course it's always better to have 1 more than 1 less).
    • Looks like the gate malfunctioned and Eriksen Sundal was literally pushed by the ad board    
    • Well, we lived through Caroline Wozniacki representing Denmark and there was some talk if she could switch to Poland early on but she said no since she lived her entire life in Denmark anyway. But she was very popular here. On the other side Angelique Kerber who also has Polish ancestry actually lived in Poland on her grandfather's estate (which was a tennis academy). In the last few years except Eugenia Bujak (cycling) switching to Slovenia due to a conflict with the federation we don't really have such cases. I can understand many Italians have their opinion on Colturi & her mother alas it's boosted by the lack of other top end prospects in your skiing now (and some other winter sports). I'm surprised Italian journalists haven't figured out what's behind Colturi's switch already because it has to be money or "personal differences" either way.
    • Or is Girardelli respected in Austria these days...
    • We must ask our Austrian users if they cheered for Girardelii. But do we have any Austrian users LOL?
    • It's just that Austria had a lot of skiers in that time and we don't have any others among the young ones now.
    • Marco Girardelli went to Luxembourg one day and he had a great career. I doubt he did regret that move.

    • You know, but we still don't know what that was about. Ceccarelli has a difficult character but still changing colors to a country with which you have absolute no connetions? What would you say if Iga Swiatek fell out with the Polish tennis federation and started playing for Luxembourg or Andorra? Certainly not everyone would decide to take such a step, even if they had to give in a little in talks with the federation.    Another thing is that the Italian training system simply doesn`t work. As you can see, there are talents but we don`t know how to train them. Since the golden generation born in 1990-1995 (Brignone, Bassino, Goggia) we haven`t trained anyone who would stand on the podium in giant slalom or slalom in World Cup. So something is wrong. At the beginning of the 21st century we had a large group of good athletes in giant slalom (maybe not at Brignone's level): Karbon, Moelgg, Putzer, Gius, etc., who were able to win World Cups, win World Championship medals, etc. Now we have no one. In women's giant slalom for example: if Brignone and Bassino are gone, even getting to the first 20 in World Cup will be a problem for us.
    • I remember that Lara Gut's family also had a conflict with the Swiss federation at the beginning of her career around 2008/2009 but it was resolved. I remember that the family also wanted to have a greater influence on their daughter's career. It was probably similar here. If there was a will from both sides, an agreement should have been reached. Especially since Colturi has zero ties with Albania. Sinner could have played for Austria sooner, as a person from South Tyrol.
