@heywoodu Nobody cares about the election paperwork in court anymore. These lawyers are getting PAID to fill in thousands of useless documents 99% of world's population doesn't even understand.

 

What I want to know is whether Biden continues the trade war with China or not? Huawei is good again? China loves NBA again? Hong Kong is yesterday' news again? :p

Trump still does, and it's going to remain fun to see him flailing about like a dying fish until he actually concedes :p

I can answer the last two question because you don't have to wait Biden's response. China and NBA are repairing relationships at least television broadcasting already resumed, sponsorship may still wait view rates data of next season. Hong Kong is never gonna back yesterday and still transforming towards authoritarian administration. Post-protest clean-up activities are still undergoing and no signs of stopping due to foreign countries' condemning.

There's no fun left since Biden has won the elections already. Who cares what Trump does now? You had the circus in town for 4 years and you still want more? Geez, it's fucking politics. I didn't realize you're a masochist to such a degree you're gonna follow him until the bitter end  :crazy:

Considering that plenty of Americans march in the streets to show support it seems pretty clear that quite a lot of people care. Not saying that it will change anything in the election result, but it could very well be a step on the way, either to a comeback in 4 years, to some other Trumpish candidate or at the very least to another major participation in the Georgia runoffs. It's in no way impossible that Trump will pretty much disappear after leaving office, but it could also be just the other way.

Huh? Nobody cares about Trump supporters. They were villified even more so than Trump himself. It's only BLM and Democrats dwelling on their victory that truly matters. Let's see how fast Biden can "fix America" or will he blame Trump for everything that happens during his term.

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
