She also doesn’t seem to know the difference between Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan, since she’s clearly meaning to reference him. Also, how can one be “more conservative than Attila the Hun”?

I suppose 95% of Americans don't know the difference between Attila & Genghis Khan either so this ad obviously fits the demand :dunno: In a two-party system like US the only thing that matters is "we are good, them are bad", period :lol:

Good luck, Americans!  We’re worried about you.  According to Joe Biden, 200 Million of you are going to die from Covid, possibly as early as today.  :(

Good news, America!  Today Joe Biden is saying only 200 Americans have died of COVID.  That’s 199,999,800 lives saved in just 24 hours!

This seems like either a deep fake thingy or an incredibly out-of-context bit of video. Oh well, not like some obscure site like that can be expected to do anything else :d

I think both 200 million and 200 deaths are not deep fake or out-of-context bits but simple slips of the tongue.

The point is that he was reading both numbers off a teleprompter without understanding them.  If any normal person made that mistake in speech they would correct themselves because they would immediately know it was ridiculous, but Biden just chatters happily on without a connection between brain & mouth.

Biden's health condition is really a concern but I guess it's not crucial for voters. People vote for him either with strong liberal ideology or just hating Trump. He just need to keep alive.

the second type of voters you mentioned is the worst type, sorry but a policy of voting to someone just because you hate the opponent is idiotic and even dangerous

The thing is, mental health is a major worry for both candidates, both seem incredibly unstable and incoherent when they speak. Which is a perfect example for the current state of American politics, I suppose.

    • Nah, I don't think that we'll have some problems.
    • The last time this happened - all three athletes on the podium had zero podiums before - was Les Saisies sprint in December 1990: Uschi Disl, Elena Melnikova (future Sergei Tchepikov's wife) & Kerstin Moring. The latter two never finished on the World Cup podium again. This was also the race where Disl became the second youngest World Cup winner ever (currently down to third because of Neuner).
    • In general almost all Fisi sports have been doing terribly this season. One debacle after another and the Colturi case completes the scale of embarrassment. Apart from single star like Goggia, Brignone or Pellegrino, only the alpine snowboard looks good.
    • Unfortunately the Italian men's team is poorly prepared for the season. Everyone is in terrible shooting form. Somewhere a mistake was made in the preparations. We are recording a big regression compared to the previous season. It`s becoming more and more likely that we will not stand on the podium even once this season (I can't remember the last time something like that happened). In the Nations Cup we are in 6th place and we may lose 6 starting places in the World Cup from next season. I`m increasingly worried about what will happen in the Olympic season. Without Vittozzi returning to top form, we completly will not count.    In general our entire winter season looks very bad: biathlon as above, cross-country skiing - still only Pellegrino, luge - poor form, alpine skiing without Goggia and Brignone doesn`t exist.
    • how is hell , 3 dead they say ..i dont believe it  
    • A few updates from the IFA after last month's Board of Directors meeting.   Looks like there will be no host quota for  China at the 2025 World Games. This is surprising after the IFA went to Chengdu last year to put on a clinic. No doubt that given a year  China has the resources and athletes to field a team that would be competitive in the placement matches.    Namibia will replace  China on the women's side. While  will replace  on the men's side.     Namibia finished 8th at the last Women's World Championships, while  New Zealand finished 11th at the 2023 Men's World Championship.     
    • Once again our snow luck holds!  Rain & melt yesterday turn into a beautiful fresh fall overnight!  
    • WR track cycling quotas MTP, MTS, WTP: WTS:   Now  is unlikely to use them, so we shall see.
    • This will be dangerous for qualification of 2nd man and 2nd woman to the Olympics?
    • medal avalanche 24-25 continues!  Bronze today.
