In October 2019 :p Hell, Cold War 2.0 is a rare occasion you agree with Trump so yeah, this fits right within your script!

I don’t see how that’s pro-Cold War, but it is something I said, so alrighty then.

One day conservatives in this country will be a respectful people again. Today, is not that day I’m afraid. Tomorrow won’t be it either.

Yup you right.  Much better to publicly support ISIS and denounce 9/11 and the holocaust ala the superstars Omar and Tlaib

Remind me again when Omar and Tlaib supported ISIS, 9/11, or the Holocaust? Omar’s family came to the US fleeing Al Shabab and government violence in Somalia.

Omar advocated for reduced sentence for ISIS recruiters and said "Some people did something" about 911.   Tlaib said that the holocaust gave her a "calming feeling"   I dont really intend to give you links, not gonna google those 2.   But if you want to advocate for garbage go ahead.  Actually I'm sorry, don't mean to diminish garbage.    Hopefully they will be voted out of office in November along with aoc getting her district removed from Congress (look it up)

You realize AOC could just run in, and win, in a different district right?

Oh yea I dont doubt it. but tells you something about how much her own party likes her if the first chance they get they redraw her own district.   Pelosi even said that a glass of water can win AOC's district.    So I'm guessing her own party will not really want her to run again.   She might have to go independent

For your Omar claim about ISIS: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ilhan-omar-isis/ For your Omar claim about 9/11: https://apnews.com/afs:Content:7354840002. So one of those was proven false, and the other pertains to one specific case where a factually dubious/partisan Twitter account spread a mostly false rumor.

 

Following the above pattern; about your claim about Tlaib: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/rashida-tlaib-holocaust-warm-feeling/. Obviously the quote was taken out of context because of the way spoke. She clearly meant that she felt a calming feeling about her people losing their ancestral lands to create a safe haven for the European Jewish population. 
 

When I searched “Will AOC lose her district”, every source but one on the first page of the google search was from a well-known far-right publication. It was actually insane to see blogs show up instead of actual news websites. The only good source on the page addressed how she could be beat in 2020, and even then no mention of the district being lost. 

 

Ever heard of a term called “fake news”?

Sanders went independent (before running for the Democratic ticket in 2020), and he did rather well. I really don’t see AOC losing because conservative hatred has made her so popular amongst liberals, progressives, and democratic socialists.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
    • More information has been released on the first edition of the World Athletics Ultimate Championships in 2026, including the events. Mixed 4x100m relay will make its global debut.    https://x.com/worldathletics/status/1859915183071662442?s=46&t=_XjleMNZelg_AVmJy7FfWA
    • Swedish sprint results:   women: 1. Sundling 2. Dahlqvist 3. Hagström 4. Ribom 5. Svahn 6. Lundgren   men: 1. Anger 2. Grate 3. Danielsson 4. McKeever (CAN) 5. Skoglund 6. Grahn
    • is considering US born goalie Joey Daccord for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.    https://thehockeynews.com/news/team-canada-is-seriously-considering-usa-born-joey-daccord-for-4-nations-face-off   .923 SV% in 13 games, and 9-3-1 on the season. Would be a big pickup for our goalie issues. 
    • Anyway...let's hope that this is the last time this year we see a brownfield competition!
