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.

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
