Yeah, that's an honest politician for a change. NRA are the Republicans voters so obviously that party won't do anything but I wonder what is the Democrats excuse? They are also afraid to upset the NRA? :p

They also are afraid to upset their key voters, who love guns, but are not organised into an actual lobby group.

We are having yet another Elections this Sunday.  :d They are becoming like a regular TV series here. (it's not a laughing mater but..) 

 

Now on season 5, we are going to switch things again. After having only machine voting the last 2 times, the paper ballots have battled their way back. It's going to be a combo system again with people choosing what to use.

 

But the big cliffhanger is yet to come. For the first time (probably in the World, i am not sure :d) after the Election day has finished, almost all of the individual voting sections are required to be broadcasting live the results tallying. There is a special website, where you can go and watch the counting. I'm sure, that site won't crash, or be hacked in the first 10 minutes. :p Also, the chairman of the Election committee has said, that 2-3 days after the Elections, videos will be posted on almost all of the thousands and thousands of sections and people can go and re-watch them anytime.

The chances of Ron DeSantis running for US President probably increased now :coffee:

if he's a moron,then sure,the maga crowd isn't gonna be voting for him,and even if Trump somehow can't run, a significant  part of them won't vote for him in the general out of spite and that's his career done and dusted

    • 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  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
