heywoodu 13,562 Posted April 7, 2023 #9641 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) 3 hours ago, Olympian1010 said: Tennessee State House voted to expel two members who joined gun control protests in the (state) capital last week. A shining moment for democracy US conservatives being US conservatives. Luckily their leader down in Arkansas, you know, the governor, has her priorities in order. Spoiler "Government, give us nothing, none of your business. Of course except for when we need it, then pay 100% please." Wasn't Arkansas the state that outright refused government money to combat infant death and such last year? And straight on to the more important issues that have to be tackled in the life of an Arkansas governor.

Thankfully US government isn't that powerful to ride the transgender nonsense everywhere in the world. Yeah, but they do have the power to bankrupt international sports governing bodies with lawsuits. Which is why it’s already impossible to enforce proper doping bans, for example.

Olympian1010 7,483 Posted May 1, 2023 #9647 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Not really sharing this one for the political content, but more the storytelling. A very well written article that’s an easy read. I figure some of our Danish users might be interested in this one. Personally, I love visiting Solvang (so many good bakeries, sights, and boutique shops), so seeing yet another community tear itself apart over culture clashes is sad “Sport has the power to change the world.

Dolby 712 Posted May 10, 2023 #9650 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Yesterday, Imran Khan, ex-PM of Pakistan was arrested. Since then, his supporters have indulged in arson and rioting in quite a few places. They even stormed GHQ in Rawalpindi. Expecting Army reprisal to be brutal. Biggest questions are will Asim Munir impose martial law and take direct control or allow Shehbaz Sharif to continue as PM and will Imran survive this (not only politically but literally as well)? There is a very small possibility that Imran does have enough support both nationally and in overseas Pakistani community to force Army to negotiation table. Interestingly, in this power play, the ruling government has no role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
