I have enough snowy & cold days in Poland not to bother living in Colorado
-
Poorly managed? Geez, you speak like a politician now. It's a frickin shit show. Sacramento must be the lousiest places to live in the state. All that taxes and zero beaches. I'd rather live in Arizona than Sacramento most likely.
-
Given the California state taxes it's just about right, it's a country within a country IMO. You name me a life-long politician who is poor? Biden was in Congress for almost 40 years before he became VP, I can only imagine how many 'donations' he accepted under the table over that span. Politics means power and power means money. It's even more glaring in a two-party system like the US where you can only be the minority for so long and your turn to be in charge will always come!
-
With Biden leading the Dems polls it's kinda hilarious you'll be potentially replacing one rich old white guy with another rich old white guy though. The more things change, the more they stay the same Well, democratic socialism only gets major support in countries which never experienced communism and are rich enough to sustain a huge welfare spending. It works well in Scandinavia given their smallish population but I don't see it working in USA over the long haul. Obamacare would be a bottomless well going forward and something would have to give there for sure.

[PREDICTION CONTEST] Men's Rugby WR World Cup 2019

Guess nobody picked Uruguay to beat Fiji? -
Yeah, Gunner Olszewski is of Polish descent. I was aware of Bellichick being of Croatian descent, he's been around too long not to take notice!
-
Yet the entire New England has voted Democrats in the last 7 presidential elections (with only NH for Bush in 2000). So that's 41/42 score. That's quite a stretch.
-
Gardner Minshew who basically looks like a porn star from the 70s scored his first NFL win tonight. It's like he generated more positive buzz in 2,5 games than Blake Bortles did for 4 years.

reached a new low in boxing. Six fighters claimed a grand total of 1 win

I whiffed on Argentina two times. That's what cost me the gold -
As long as DDR records are allowed to stand it's pretty rich that any German calls out other nations on doping allegations Geez, Germany calling out people on doping standards. That's hogwash.
-
I think it comes to the Europeans mastering the rotational technique which used to be USA's calling card for years. I guess some study must show it's more effective and let's face it, it's all about technique in the shot, not about raw power. David Storl is just about the only top European still using the push off and he's basically in decline for a while now. Polish guys didn't use the rotational due to the historical aspect of Wladyslaw Komar & Edward Sarul not to mention small, bulky guys like Haratyk didn't stand a chance to even make the shot put team.

Konrad Bukowiecki 22,25 PB at Kamila Skolimowska Memorial today. First time over 22m outdoors for him!
-
Sofia Ennaoui finished dead last in the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial today and announced she's battling a hip & Achilles issue and won't take part in Doha WCh This extended season is turning out to be a real dud. Ennaoui joins Anita Wlodarczyk, Joanna Jozwik, Klaudia Siciarz & Cyprian Mrzyglod as high-profile Polish absentees. Not to mention Michal Haratyk has a finger swelling and will probably bomb out hard.

But that's the whole point! Why would any party allow in-fighting in public between their supposedly top members? This makes no sense. It's a by-product of a dual party political system. Both GOP & Dems know their turn will come in a cycle so they can get away with anything including throwing dirt at their bandmates. If USA had a legit 4-5 party system none of these 20-candidate debates would ever take place. They would be forced to pick the strongest candidate in private without doing their dirty laundry in public. That's why I think the two-party system is always flawed. You allow the fat cats to sit on laurels for decades but it's actually the product of understanding the democratic system. Two bitter enemies stonewall everyone else and enjoy trading punches at each other knowing there's zero threat coming from outside. The last true outside influence in US politics was Ross Perot in 1992 elections.
-
I like how amid all this call for a change and new progressive wave it's the rich, white old guy that leads the Democratic race. Unless Biden makes a huge mistake somewhere down the line it's his nomination to lose IMO. And other candidates fighting against each other actually gives the poll leader a bigger chance to win the nomination outright. This is why the sitting POTUS have had it so easier in the last 40+ years. The other party nominees waste waaay too much energy in winning their party vote they come in tired when the real duel is up. Probably won't be any different in Trump vs Biden. Trump has a clear advantage already as he's not concerned about being politically correct. Everyone knew he was a fool to begin with and he still defeated the allegedly shrewd political animal Hilary Clinton.

Didn't like Gobert win the Defensive Player of the Year in NBA the last two seasons? Calling him a "rock" is an understatement
-
Well, USA probably thinks their D team is still the best in the world, but yeah, they should be pretty riled up come Tokyo again.
-
NBA is thriving on players becoming stars both on & off the court. The Dream Team mantra "We're gonna show the world how good we are" is dead. Players don't even care about their clubs in the NBA. It's all eyez on ME, not the club hence you see all these trades & moves all across the league. Even Toronto couldn't keep Kawhi after winning the title. Nobody wants to play in the Madison Square Garden anymore. Can you imagine players choosing Nets over the Knicks even 20 years ago? Or Clippers over the Lakers? Hell no. USA bombing out at the Worlds is just a by-product of the individual culture running wild in the NBA right now. And basketball is supposedly a team sport last time I checked. USA just didn't bring a team here, just a group of individuals.
