Shockingly Our President VETOED 2 out of 3 bills giving the reigning party control over supreme courts. :clap: :toast::beer:
PiS politicians liteally locked themselfes in their HQ :lol::hyper:

Missed this, but this is great news! It's always good when the separation of powers is more or less ensured, one party controlling a supreme court has a better place in North Korea.

It's funny how you can comment only one part of my post, especially when you don't understand what is real problem here in my country :) I'm sure that in all Italian and other West medias journalists shows other side of problem, which is better for them. For example if an for example American newspeaper will write something about concentration camp in Auschwitz and will wrote that it was Polish Concentration camp (not Nazi) you will believe them because journalists wrote such thing?

 

And if you have an problem we can talk about this via PM.

- if you write something here, you should be aware that people can reply...and this is an off topic general thread so I guess that everything which is not offensive, discriminatory, racist,...is allowed....it's nonsense to say "stop posting about Polish politics";

- I replied to the only part of your comment related to the topic (the bills approved some days ago);

- there is no such thing as homogeneus "Western media"...If you believe that "all Western media lie because it's better for them", then you have fallen to propaganda;

- you contradict yourself: you admitted that "it's normal that the leading party wants to have full control" so "Western media" are not telling bullshit about this;

- as pointed out by others,  you should understand the concept of "separation of powers";

- Auschwitz? Completely unrelated to the matter...it seems to me that you are looking for conspiracies everywhere...

So sad, i really loved this guy, i guess we can already say that Kelly has a negative influence on Trump ...

Some of the "best moments" of his sadly too short career in the White House:

The intereview with the BBC (2nd to last link) was one of the best interviews i ever saw, especially his explanation as to why Trump isn't an elitist ...

I think my knowledge is not so good...everyone with a blue mark is a leader I never heard of or at least don't remember :d

I think I'll vote for Kerst Karljulaid, whoever the man/woman may be, because his name is Kerst and that's Dutch for Christmas :d

Apparently it's not Kerst but Kersti, too bad. Maybe Sturgeon because she wants Scotland to say goodbye to the UK or Erdogan because he's so ridiculous it's almost comedy if it weren't so sad. The rest seems rather boring :p

    • grab the final men’s quota so arguably the top two favourites on each side qualified 
    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
