Even in California, her home state, support for Pelosi isn’t high. Letting her retain the speakership could prove to be a poor choice for the Democratic Party,

It appears that Jon Ossoff and Radical Socialist Raphael Warnock (as he was called by his opponent) have won the regular and special senate elections in Georgia, respectively. This means Democrats will have control of the US senate by the narrowest of margins, 50-50 with the vice president being the tie-breaker.

Thank you, Mister President, for this January 5th 2020 statement on something Pence supposedly said yesterday or the day before.

 

 

Oh yes, good old Trump :p
LA 28 Opening Ceremony, Trump's speech: "O! O! O! O! O!" ;) - thank God it won't happen.

History will mark this day as the day when the USA stopped being a white ruled country .

Guess we'll all see how that goes 

 

For those who argue this isn't true I say Biden is just a very old and very temporary figurehead 

 

I have read that of the top 16 Cabinet positions selected only 4 are white  ( that is white non Hispanic and non Jewish or Gentile  )

 

( For those who argue otherwise in USA all Hispanics are categorised as Hispanic -even the King  of Spain . Jews increasingly call themselves non white partly so all Jews are in the same grouping )

 

Not to say that whites are impotent but they now will always  need non white allies to take part in government

Democrats controlling the Congress won't change Biden's narrative who will blame Trump for everything during his 4-year tenure. Let's get real, Biden will most likely be the weakest president since Jimmy Carter. Typical stopgap president to wash away the Trump years just like Carter was there to make people reset after Watergate and Vietnam war fiasco. Biden is like Teddy Bridgewater, a nice guy but with zero true leadership skills. He's a Robin and never a Batman. I wish it was 2024 and Kamala Harris running for the office because it's quite clear to me Biden is just a one-tenure guy based on his age and lukewarm appeal.

Wow, this is utterly bizarre. Trump supporters have turned Washington DC into scenes one is more used to seeing in third world country coups. Completely absurd, the Capitol being stormed by these semi-terrorists is one of the most insane things I've seen in quite a while, at least in a (so-called) developed country.

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
