Im in love with the British public and their reception of Trump

Such a proud day to be British! I was one of those marching through London with 250’000 others! I hope Trump got the message that he and his policies are not welcome in the UK.

Well for a president that’s only divided his country, caged children, increased racial violence, and been endorsed by the American far-right (KKK); I think it’s perfectly fine. The elections this year are going to be messy, and probably leave us more divided.

Still, a country that would actually refuse him into their country would be just as bad as he is. Refusing him is just doing what he does, it's no different than his words like "we need to arm people to defend against gun violence."

That was or our original strategy to combat him and what he stands for, but it hasn’t worked, the same appeasement didn’t work with Hitler. I’m telling you that the far-right has activated a motivated left, which these elections will be brutal. I do agree though, that the best way to fight Trump is with facts, science, compassion, but also strong demonstrations against his “ideals”.

But not with stuff like "you're not welcome here" and "not our president!1!1". Because yes, he is the president of every American citizen.

I’m sorry, but I disagree with you. We elected Clinton by a 3 million vote majority. Trump won because of an antiquated system that favors the right. Trump certainly doesn’t represent my interests. His America, is not my America. He’s made it clear that refugees are not welcome in America, so we refuse to welcome in my state.

That whole system is strange, but it's been in place well before these elections. It's not like the rules changed suddenly. Trump won these elections, and is the president of each and every American citizen, regardless whether or not any one random citizen is happy with that or not. Fight him with facts? That is a fact.

Do you prefer Clinton or Obama like President?

    • There is an Italian roster listed on elite prospects despite no official roster announcement yet. However many people on the hfboards forum are questioning its legitimacy as there are many questionable players on the roster
    • Actually, it seems Wicklow Irish Pub is an actual small chain in the city of Queretaro in  
    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
