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

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
