Just few days Donal Trump left the white hous, coincidence?

There are riots going on in the Dutch city of Eindhoven at the moment. They say it's against the COVID-19 restrictions, but it's not even a week since Donald Trump left the White House...coincidence?

Interesting take on Joe Biden potentially starting a war with Facebook.

 

Obviously Biden won't start a war with Wall Street, can he start one vs Silicon Valley's poster child Zuckerberg? Legalised censorship on the way? It was fun for librals to ban Trump's social media accounts, let's see how they spin the potential ban on casual FB users?

Another reality check for Joe Biden when it comes to COVID vaccines. He was forced to change his original goal after media pointed out he only mirrors the number of vaccines under Trump so Biden's goal isn't anything special to brag about :roflmao:

There is a big rumour about the installation of a rusian military base :facepalm:

Not happy to be a chinese colony, we will be a rusian one too.

Considering that Biden is expected to care much more about South America than Trump who didn't do much other than tell them not to work with China, and the first Biden-Putin call shows pretty clear changes from Trump (towards a tougher line), I would find it rather interesting to consider it due to the new administration.

The so-called "much more care" isn't just about lip service, it means real money. Of course Biden is much more anti-Russia compared to Trump, but in terms of lip service that two administrations won't do much difference. Not only Latin America but also all countries should put its own interests at first priority, breaking the contract is not costless despite of new administration.

    • And this is the final Medal Table fo the XX Bolivarian Games in     
    • Agreed. But OTOH, the chances of a Male Team pursuit medal also seem rather slim at the moment, so why the hassle of dropping someone.
    • I have a sports database with millions of entries, which I then convert graphically on my Wikipedia sandbox.
    • Wouldn't be surprised to see the same this time. The men's 500m has basically on or with luck two medal chances, but certainly not three (semi-realistic) ones. With Beau Snellink for now not exactly on his way to an Olympic ticket and Patrick Roest still questionable, that might only leave Chris Huizinga, Jorrit Bergsma and Marcel Bosker, and that is not exactly a group one would want to have in the team pursuit.
