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.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week
