Yeah, not wearing pants. They’re a pair of sweatpants that I wear since I skate to and from university.

Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, etc. The divide between Red and Blue states is about the biggest it’s been since the Civil Rights Era (1960s). Religious divide is there with red states becoming more extremely Christian, and with blue states becoming more agnostic and less faith-dependent. Economic divide is also huge between states like California/New York and Alabama/Maine.

I’ve been at university for about an hour and half, and I just realized my pants are on backwards. One of those days I guess

Good to be back, I’m in I’m also very happy to be visiting Croatia. The US jury also hopes to meet the movie famous 101 Dalmatians We’ll post our entry soon.

Is Malta eligible for a shorting invite/quota? That would be their best bet at this point I think. Monaco could get a judo invite maybe? Montenegro has multiple opportunities.

The EU will have the same problems as the US now. Strong cultural, religious, economic, and political divides. Both will fail eventually for those same reasons (probably).

Conservatives play to people’s fears and lack of understanding. I think there is a place for conservative politics (and there should be), but modern populist conservatism is wrong. People will always be willing to throw someone under the bus. Yesterday it was the blacks, then the Jews, and now today it’s the immigrants. I think it stems from a lack of understanding, lack of strong foundations in education, and belief in misinformation.

Finally watched Fantastic Mr. Fox today. Easily one of my favorite animated movies of all-time. A true masterpiece. Wes Anderson is a genius.

Damn, you know it’s bad when Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, or Switzerland aren’t even doing it right Does anyone ever wonder what the world would be like if coin tries really listened to what the UN says? I feel like we’d be in such a better place right now.

California Independence has actually been polled around 30-40% in favor during the 2018 election (at least that’s what I remember reading). California is slowly becoming American Scotland. It’s more liberal than the rest of the country (save New Mexico, the Northeast), and it enjoys a good economy (4th largest in the world (we passed the UK recently)). As I’ve said before, most Californians will tell you they’re Californian before they’re American. I wouldn’t be sure of that. I don’t think Bloomberg would support the foreign policy that the party wants too. I think he’d make some classic American fuckups, as where Sanders votes against most of the wars and military interventions. I’d say Trump likes his chances of winning at this point. Progressives and Moderates cannibalizing each other in the primary, creating some very unhappy losers. It’s going to take a lot to unite the party, but we won’t know that for sure until we get to the DNC Convention.

Ladies and Gentlemen, you are witnessing a master class in bad PR/Communications. I just can’t with the MLB/Astros right now.

I think he’s just meeting with the LOC to discuss the games. Obviously he’ll have no role in the games, but I think LA 2028 just wanted to give the government an update.

@Dmitry So are the teams in Group B cannot win a medal? I’m assuming there’s some kind of promotion ladder or something. I’m familiar with the teams and sport of Brady, but I’m not sure about the format. Either way, Sweden should cruise to victory. Especially after they upset Russia at the Universaide last winter. I’d put money on Norway to finish 3rd. Finland and US could maybe have an actual battle to see who gets 4th.

Yes, there we agree. Their will always be inequality and class struggle. I don’t think any system of government will fix that, but I believe it’s our duty to find the one the best curbs the problem.

We didn’t true, but the inequality, class struggle, and terrible economies are the same.

Interesting. Our first “let’s change the borders” initiative this year. As much has I hate the part of California they’re trying to take, they’ll have a fight on their hands to get it. We’ve already killed Jefferson succession multiple times. Then again, I’m the one who wants a vote on Californian independence from the US... This part of Oregon and California is essentially still in the 1930s. It’s probably the least developed parts of the United States. It’s home to many extreme religious groups, and other “crazies”.

In non-US political news (I know, shocking), Afghanistan has their first governing crisis under the new democratic system. Ghani won re-election (for a third term I believe) with 50% of the vote, Abdullah Abdullah (yes, that’s his name) came in second with 30%. Afghanistan’s independent election commission has confirmed the results (and I believe they are the legitimate results). Today, Abdullah declares himself president and formed his own cabinet. So I’m short, Afghanistan currently controls 40-50% of it’s own territory, and now has two presidents.

I did too. It was a special moment where we agreed

Capitalism and Socialism are just one in the same with the different people in charge

I’m expecting an amazing debate between Bernie and Bloomberg. I also can’t wait to see how Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Biden, and Warren factor into that fight. If I had to guess: Bloomberg goes after Sanders’ supporters known as “Bernie Bro’s” (internet trolls) Sanders goes after Bloomberg’s wealth and “stop and frisk” Overall, if the debate gets “fun”, it will show the true divide between moderates, liberals, and progressives (and that would be so, so awesome). I do think this infighting only increases Trump’s chance of victory. Battle lines are being drawn. Moderates won’t support Sanders, and progressives won’t support any but. People will rally around the winner, but will their still be enough energy to beat Trump?

It has the most weight, and that’s important. I actually think 1988 is the “strongest” slogan, and it actually became true for South Korea when we think of the years leading up to the games, and the years following. 2012 is also a good mission statement. 2004 is the best because no one else can make that claim. It also just makes you expect good things, and makes you feel warm and fuzzy about the Olympics. As writer, it’s my favorite.

And the most unique by far.

One of the weirdest, but also scariest threads I’ve seen in a while.
