One would even say she was like his daughter seeing how often they were pictured together Well duh, she brought the country glory and if there's one thing ruthless dictators like, it's glory and using the people who bring it 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!

Yep, forgot about that. He did try to found the United Nations before people were ready though, and he did admit to many of his mistakes. “Sport has the power to change the world.

He did, you know, kill himself. So that's good.

Abdelfatteh Mourou 71 yo Vice President of the Assembly of the Representatives of the People since 2014 Abir Moussi 44 yo Tunisian lawyer Nabil Karoui 56 yo business and owner of the Tunisian television station Nessma.(he is now in jail) but he can win Mourou marzouki and Abir moussi they can finish first in the first round but they dont have any chance to win in scond round only if two of them finish in top 2 (because of alliances) MHSN and heywoodu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,477 Posted September 8, 2019 #3320 Share Posted September 8, 2019 So apparently Trump called off what would have been secret peace negotiations between the Taliban and the government of Afghanistan with the US as mediator to be held at Camp David starting somewhere around 9/11. Obviously people are furious that the government would have thought of such things, but my viewpoint differs here. I think this was a step in the right direction. The dates should have been not during 9/11. However, peace talks are what’s needed. It’s what would’ve been best for the people of Afghanistan, who are the one's who suffered the most. It would have helped Afghanistan in multiple ways. It would have ended a nearly two decade war. It might have actually done good. I hope the next President is willing to facilitate such discussions. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
