So much for the new President ending the War on Drugs making any difference :p I mean how can people be so naive about it? The Sinaloa, Zetas & Gulf cartels keeps doing their thing. Pablo Escobar & the Colombians are glorified with these fancy TV shows while Mexicans are just stacking up the body count year after year. What else is new? :dunno:

It's gonna be interesting.

 

The country is getting more divided like all seasoned democracies do :p Biedron & Kosiniak-Kamysz got less votes combined than the far-right Bosak :lol:  It's hard to imagine how Napieralski got 13,5% ten years ago and now the highly-touted Biedron collapsed below 3%. He can duly bogger off to European Parliament and stop wasting everyone's time. Obviously Kosiniak-Kamysz is the big loser. Polish society wants more of the PiS-PO showdown :coffee:

As TVP associated Trzaskowski with LGBT more than Biedroń, he took his votes.

LGBT votes won't win any elections in Poland. Civic Platform sits on the LGBT fence forever and Trzaskowski won't change a thing. Biedron hardly did any better than the much ridiculed Magdalena Ogorek five years ago despite years of service in Sejm and the media-friendly personality. The post-communist left-wing is truly dead in Poland :lol: Though I believe Zandberg would give them more votes than Biedron who can't talk about anything other than LGBT rights. His tune got old a while ago already.

I wouldn't say that having socialist (even if national-socialist) government for five years and the presecutor from communist martial law times as a member of Constitutional Court chosen by votes of the now ruling majority.

I was talking more about a left-wing party capable of winning votes. Law & Justice took away the social funding & support for the working class while Civic Platform took away the liberal ideology and LGBT support so to speak. Divide & conquer!

 

Robert Biedron got 4x less votes than the left party alliance in the Parliament elections last year :p  He even got beaten by the nationallistic Krzysztof Bosak in Slupsk despite being a President of that city which allegedly showed Poland is ready for openly gay person in charge. No, we're kinda not ;)

    • 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...
    • This also seems to have the update Athletics schedule, too.
    • Alpine Skiing   Asa Ando    Figure Skating   Carolane Soucisse/Shane Firus  Wakaba Higuchi 
    • 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.  
    • New schedule  posted.      https://la28.org/content/dam/latwentyeight/competition-schedule-imagery/uploaded-march-16-v-3-0/LA28OlympicGamesCompetitionScheduleByEventV3.0.pdf
    • 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.
