Interesting little article about California here: https://apple.news/A6vSFmwe4ScuwlTa_mrwItQ

 

I agree with my younger liberal counterparts. Though the states I want to move to are just as increasingly progressive and have similar issues, so I’d only move somewhere because I love the area (and so I could ski :d).

So “Civil War” has been trending on Twitter all night....

 

That might be all that’s needed for impeachment now. Holy shit.

This election/impeachment is going to be a fucking shitshow. It’s all in the air right now. No democrat has managed to unite the party. Impeachment is a mess. How did the one sane party fuck up this bad? 

 

Sanders people won’t vote for Biden, Biden people won’t vote for Sanders and probably Warren. Warren people will vote for either probably, but that still leaves a third of the party in limbo!

 

Impeachment needs to either happen or not. We can’t miss this opportunity. Either we take it or the country is on its way to complete disaster if Trump gets a 2nd term.

I see the church is choosing the wrong side, the irrational one, but no surprise about that, as usual...

Everyone knows Trump and his clown show so he can't be his own worst enemy anymore. And if Dems can't count on Trump beating himself they need a strong leadership. They don't have this. Nancy Pelosi is probably the most senior politician I know and she's way past-prime. You can't move forward with her even moonlighting as the leader. Biden is the rich old white guy which doesn't suit the progressive ways at all but the back-up is old-as-the-hills Sanders. The Dems enjoyed a massive boost with the Obama craze and can't follow that winning formula up. You want to win the political war with Biden & Sanders as Obama's replacement? That's hilarious. Trump will be elected again because Dems are both divided & leader-less at the moment. Their party in-fighting is what helps Trump the most. GOP is smart enough that while they didn't give him full support back in 2016 at least they're not stupid to ignore the polls. Vox populi vox Dei even if blue-collars from Rust Belt voted for a millionaire businessman. Dems are wasting time & energy if they think the impeachment deal works for them. It won't.

Russian special forces "Spetznaz" have allegedly been discovered in Svalbard and continental Norway. They apparently arrived on fishing boats some days ago and were  trying to infiltrate the area, posing as civilians, but the U.S military has blown their cover. On the coast of the country, the U.S soldiers claim to also saw a P650- Midget submarine.

 

So far, the Russian Embassy in Oslo denies sending any soldiers to Norway. The Norwegian government hasn't yet released a statement.

    • Podium finish in the men’s race for  Filippov. It is the first podium of the winter season for a neutral/Russian athlete.
    • that's basically last year's IA Division Worlds roster the only new name is Finoro so, the names might well be there
    • I will do my best to organise a pairs competition also involving nations from the 4 teams that are eliminated in the first half of the team competition along with the lowest ranked individual nations at the halfway point (end of session 2) to form 8 pairs. Pairs will be balanced so that the highest ranked nation in the competition will be paired with the lowest ranked nation, second highest with the second lowest and so on. All of that will be based on the individual ranking at the halfway point.   This way every nation will have at least interest in some event until the end of the 3rd session.   I will probably base it closely on @mrv86‘s proposed rules, and have sprints every 3 rounds of votes. The pairs with most medals from those 3 rounds get the points along with an extra bonus for medal and points doubles.   I do only have 1 day to organise this now so I can’t promise anything though.

    • The two-woman quota is based upon the "combined" ranking. The 6 best monobob + 6 best 2-woman results are taken into account at the moment (7 once this week's WC race has been raced).  Weiszewski competed in Europe Cup yesterday in the monobob, finishing 2nd, which gave her 110 points. This was her 7th monobob race, so this result replaced her worst (80 points), helping her leapfrog Cernanska by 8 points. At this point I guess she's in a better spot, as she's got the same room for improvement in the two-woman today, while Cernanska probably won't compete that well in the WC.
