Well, German politician Donald von Tuskenberg has won the election for Council of Europe's leadership, but that was to be expected as the election was rigged after Angela Merkel has used her brainwashing Soros powers to posses Viktor Orban and used threats against other leaders to support Tusk in this Russia-backed election which will sadly destroy the EU after some countries clearly are not capable of solidarity.

That's not me, that is just a quick summary of today's news report on TVPis.

 

Good old Soros! :p

I think Wilders will reload with new ammunition after the protests in Rotterdam and the fights with Turkey. :d

 

Pretty sure these protests are good for both Wilders and the Turkish party in the Netherlands :p 

 

Oh well, I'm not watching any debate or something anymore, all those last days consists of is scream as loud as possible and people like Wilders are the best in screaming their nonsense :p

Kaczyński is insane and obsessed, sad but true. This is really true, he`s sick, his mind is sick, it`s a sect - not a party, really, Tusk, Wałęsa...65% of Poles are his..."enemies". Those people are dangerous

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

You want to know about what happened last night? :p 

 

There were some protests and a little bit of riots in Rotterdam at the Turkish consulate there because some Turkish minister wasn't allowed to give a public speech supporting Erdogan. Today there's not a whole lot happening :p

I read something about that flag as well, but not about riots because of that :p 

 

There have been some Turkish people gathering in Amsterdam/The Hague, but there haven't really been any riots or clashes anymore today, so that's good :d (and boring, but boring's good in this case)

Well, according to a pro-Erdogan channel :p (I'm still hoping it's either photoshopped or just badly translated :d )

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
