Biden already started by blowing Obama tonight :wacko:. We get it, Obama liked you.

Biden complaining that nationalized healthcare is impossible :facepalm:. How about we stop paying to defend the EU. We spend 55% of our national budget on defense, how about we spend 30-25%.

Healthcare debate

 

Warren making a very big mistake in the healthcare debate, but then she makes a comeback with a great joke. She still won’t reveal her plans though, that’s a turn off for me.

 

Biden seeming to win moderates as expected.

 

Bernie getting big cheers when talking about socialized healthcare.

 

Biden tells Bernie that “This Is America” when Bernie begins talking about how much better Canada’s healthcare is than ours. People seem to like that, but Canada’s is better. 

 

Kloubachar trying to compete with Biden for the centerists. She might have the strongest performance in the first quarter.

 

Buttigeig proposing that we slowly move towards Medicare For All.

 

Harris only wants to talk about Trump. That’s not going to work forever. She mentions McCain beating Trumps attempt to get rid of ACA. First time McCain has ever gotten a cheer at the Democratic debate.

 

Obama has never received more credit for the things he did in his life :d

Castro goes hard after Biden in the healthcare debate. Biden has been killing Bernie on facts checks, but Castro nails Biden with one. Castro really hammers Biden. It is not a good look for either Biden or Castro.

 

Castro tells Biden that he is killing Obama’s legacy and the crowd goes wild. Debate briefly descends into chaos. Yang gets everyone to clan with a slightly racist joke.

Believe or not every candidate on the stage thinks racism is still a huge problem in America.

Harris gets nailed on her criminal justice record. There goes my candidate:facepalm:. She on the record as once being against the legalization of pot and outside police investigations. That’s inexcusable really.

Univision’s representative hits Biden hard on immigration. Biden refuses to talk about his immigration record. He helped deport the most people in American history.

It’s been a while anyone’s said anything meaningful to me. Trade doesn’t really matter to me. I don’t care about economics. I care about not getting shot, making sure I have access to healthcare, and making sure my friends don’t get deported.

    • Heraskevyvh is very good in this season. He did worse last season. Our team is unfortunately doing much worse now.    In luge, unfortunately, it`s difficult to break the dominance of Germany, Austria and Latvia. The USA has also made a lot of progress. I have also read that Russia may return under a neutral banner, so I don`t think we will win a medal in Cortina 2026. The only hope is that we will use our knowledge of the new track in Cortina and then maybe we will win a one medal, maybe in the women's doubles. Unfortunately, we don`t have a star like Armin Zoeggeler as before.

    • I still remember how Demi Moore swept the Razzies for Striptease almost 30 years ago and she won Golden Globes now? The acting industry must be short on talent, scripts or everything else   This being said I don't really watch too many new TV shows these days least of all those Marvel/DC action hero stuff that has taken over in the last decade plus. I know it's a box office gold mine but completely not my taste.
    • Yeah, Anora has been really hard for me to place in my personal rankings. It's a fun and enjoyable film for the most part, but it didn't quite generate the same awe or excitement from me that a few others have this season. Still, I was quite shocked to see Madison lose yesterday because she did a deliver a phenomenal performance in my opinion.    The best actress "race" still feels rather open to me, which adds a bit of suspense to each body's nominations.  
    • Anyone remember that  athlete in a European Champs who was given a false start, then protested and got a re-run?  And then false-started twice.   Was kind of like that. 
    • Justin Trudeau has resigned as party leader and will resign as prime minister of Canada once the Liberal Party choses a new leader. Once a new leader in selected there will likely be elections shortly after.
    • I'm not surprised. Colturi seems to be trending in the right direction (duh) and the rest of the Italian women's team is nowhere except veterans Brignone and Goggia. The Delagos have regressed badly for whatever reason and even Bassino has kinda stalled despite still being in her prime. The shit will soon hit the fan but it's probably to late before the next OG. It would be ridiculous if Albania wins more medals in alpine skiing than Italy
    • The regular season is over. Tennesse Titans get #1 overall pick for the 2025 draft after NE Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills back-ups on the last day.   Mike Evans (Buccaneers) ended his 11th season with 11th mark of 1,000 receiving yards which ties Jerry Rice's all-time record. Bucs needed to run one more play to get him 5 yards he needed instead of kneeling down a game they had won already.   Wild Card Schedule:   My picks: Chargers, Ravens, Bills, Eagles, Commanders, Vikings
