Today, Pakistan PM Imran Khan (who was captain of the victorious 1992 Cricket WC team) said that Osama Bin Laden was martyred. And he made this statement in Pakistan National Assembly.

Ugh. I need an “angry” reaction for that. 
 

That’s just unacceptable.

2020 version of the media bias chart has been released. There’s some fascinating information on here.

Well, are you surprised there are people who still dislike the "imperiallist America"? I'm not :dunno:  Fundamentalist islam is doing fine and well even in wake of 9/11 (and the fact George W. Bush is so heavily criticized for starting the War on Terror in USA). This narrative about Bush Jr being the worst US President actually helps the bin Laden martyrdom cause a lot IMO.

Yeah, GOP will never allow such cheap Democrat seats to become official :lol: 

 

Maybe Democrats should try with Puerto Rico instead? :evil:

Same problem. Puerto Ricans also have a history of low turnout in independence/statehood votes.

 

There’s a possibility DC becomes a state of the Democrats do well in this election.

DC is a Democrat dominated area for as long as I can remember. Even Walter Mondale won here with 85% after getting blasted everywhere by Reagan :lol: I checked back and the worst result for any Democrat Presidential nominee in DC was Jimmy Carter in 1980 - 74,9 % :p

 

To say there's a possibility Democrats do well in this "state" is the understatement of the year :lol: GOP might as well don't enter any candidates here like they did in Deep South back in the segregation days. No way this bill ever gets passed unless Dems control both houses and have a sitting President as well.

      They may have to put Russia in the Calgary group to avoid any political issue in Czechia.   A group with Canada, Russia and the United States would be deadly. I'd feel sorry for the 4th team

      Well, I'm sad and happy at the same time. I'm happy because I expected it and we're not taking a spot away from a country that deserved it more.   But, we used to be one of the leading basketball countries, we were world champions and Olympic runners-up. Now we can't even qualify for a world tournament anymore, always losing to teams like Puerto Rico, a declining Serbia, an ascending Germany, and now being left out by the hardworking Czech Republic and Mali...   The worst part is that there won't be any improvement. Nobody cares about losers, nobody cares about women's basketball here. The national league is terrible, there are no young players, the national federation doesn't care...

      Besides the radical new football schedule, there was a bit of clarification of the tennis schedule.  The women's singles medal matches will be during the day on July 27, and the men's doubles in the evening.  July 28 will see the men's singles during the day and women's doubles in the evening.  Bit of an odd schedule there, actually.

      Well, let be real for a second here and not fly on parallel universe  the ONLY chance for Slovakia to take part to this is when Russia will not be invited.    And Seriously, I would not bet a single leaky penny on that to happen.   Imagine a tournament run by the most greedy businessemen on earth NHL lords, with the right to invite whoever they want and make whatever rules they want... and not inviting to their own tourney Russia who has more than 50 NHL stars in the league right now including the likes of Kaprizov, Vasilevskiy, Kucherov, Demidov, Malkin or Shestorkin.  Come on ! Not gonna happen, Russians will be there and will make the semis where they will lose to one of the 2 North-Americans before the Canada-USA scripted final.   Do not fall into the trap, this is all just for money.   And since Germany is a bigger and obviously more interesting market than us and have the superstars Drai and Stutzle to bring they will be picked as 8th over Slovakia on any day. Switzerland being the clear seventh for their bigger amount of NHLers is obviously as well.

      He will transfom Cuba to Epstein Island 2      Donald Trump ranted to reporters that he had the right to do “anything” he wanted with Cuba, claiming that the island nation is a failed state and promising that the country was next on his list of adversaries to confront after Iran.
