The problem is that they aren’t paid as much as they deserve, or given the credit they deserve, so they resolve to selling themselves out because at least their valued by someone that way. What’s happening to journalism right now is sad, but I think it will counterbalance soon, or I hate to think a world without people looking for the truth. Yes, they absolutely do. But it has never been 'simply providing information'. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

A border in Ireland will work out really well, like nothing in history there to say otherwise I just recently read Liam O’Flatery’s (speller his name wrong, sorry) “The Sniper”. I think Trump should too before he makes statements like that. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Wumo 2,795 Posted June 6, 2019 #2787 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) The General election in Denmark was held yesterday. The results from the Danish general election: Party Votes in % Seats Change from last general election (2015) Social Democrats (A) 25.9 % 48 +1 LIberal Party (V) 23.4 % 43 +9 Danish People's Party (O) 8.7 % 16 -21 Social-Liberal Party (B) 8.6 % 16 +8 Socialist People's Party (F) 7.7 % 14 +7 Red-Green Alliance (Ø) 6.9 % 13 -1 Conservative People's Party (C) 6.6 % 12 +6 The Alternative (Å) 3.0 % 5 -4 The New Right (D) 2.4 % 4 +4 (New) Liberal Alliance (I) 2.3 % 4 -9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- National Threshold 2.0% Hard Line (P) 1.8 % 0 0 (New) Christian Democrats (K) 1.7 % 0 0 Klaus Riskær Pedersen (E) 0.8 % 0 0 (New) Turnout: 84.5 % 179 seats, 175 Denmark, 2 Greenland and 2 Faroe Island. 90 seats are needed for a majority. We will have a new goverment. It will very likely be a one party minority government with the Social Democrats with support from the Social-Liberal Party, Socialist People's Party and Red-Green Alliance. (89 seats from Denmark, 1 from Greenland and 1 from Faroe Islands = 91 seats) Some other scenarios could be a Social Democrats/Socialist People's Party, Social Democrats/Social-Liberal Party or a Social Democrats/Liberal Party government, All of these scenarios are very unlikely. https://www.politico.eu/article/denmarks-social-democrats-on-course-to-win-election/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Danish_general_election I guess @Agger can elaborate more about the election.

VolleyRuller96 264 Posted June 7, 2019 #2789 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Japan - the Parliament will decide on the fate of lawmaker Hodaka Maruyama, which last month got extremely drunk during a trip to Russian-held Kurill Islands, attempted to convince former Japanese residents to start a war against Russia to reclaim those islands, and attempted to "go outside to grope breasts".
