Mekong Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Tokyo Olympics Medal Table from NYT, Americans change the way medals are counted from G,S,B to total number. Typical American Superiority Complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Could probably be improved by counting 11 medals for a soccer team. 33 total to award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 To be pedantic, following your statement that would be 22 medals not 11. Medals are awarded on squad members not the starting or finishing 11 on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 I could agree to count the players who have been on the field but then minute 90 would see a major walk-in. Or whichever is last minute. Anyhow, we have just created another 63 medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalo_bill Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 In absence of embedded reporter Cavanami I still try to stay informed about US affairs and today I found this on CNN , may the Lord forgive me for stealing intellectual property: ------------------------------ (CNN)Since the presidential election, Christina Jensen says she's been stopped on the street several times by acquaintances who wanted to share troubling news: hackers from Beijing had switched nearly 24,000 votes for Donald Trump in their rural, GOP-leaning Wisconsin county. Jensen, the Clark County clerk and a Republican herself, has patiently explained that the local election computer system isn't connected to the internet -- and the county has less than 17,000 registered voters overall. But she finds herself unable to convince those constituents of the simple fact that the election wasn't stolen: "They are like, 'Well, Mike Lindell says this,'" Jensen said. Lindell, the MyPillow CEO and a close ally of former President Donald Trump, has emerged as one of the most vocal boosters still pushing false claims about the 2020 election. In a series of so-called documentaries, Lindell has advanced an increasingly outlandish theory that foreign hackers broke into the computer systems of election offices like Clark County to switch votes -- in what he has described as the "biggest cyber-crime in world history." ---------------------------- This should be part of a surreal comedy but it is the truth. I don´t get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Today, on my planet, the date is 14 August 2021. On planet Washington, USA, the date is Friday, 13 August 2021 and the time is past 3:52 p.m. PDT. ___________ Cav, your mate, Mike the pillow guy, swore on bibles and deceased mothers and yet unborn Trumpanzees, that: The morning of Friday, 13 August, Mr Trump will be president again and it "will be the talk of the world". The morning of the thirteenth you’re going to wake up and go, wow, now what are we gonna do? Everyone’s gonna know it and that’s when we’re going to bring it to the Supreme Court. “Donald Trump won, I mean it’s pretty simple, OK?” “By the morning of August 13 it’ll be the talk of the world, going ‘hurry up! Let’s get this election pulled down, let’s right the right, let’s get these communists out that have taken over,'” ___________ So WTF? Crickets.... ...not happening? Another crock of lies from the Trumpanzees? Please explain. ___________ https://breakingnewsusa.com/2021/07/14/my-pillow-guy-changes-story-now-says-trump-wont-be-back-in-office-in-august/ https://radaronline.com/exclusives/2017/03/mike-lindell-cocaine-addiction-domestic-abuse-arrest-my-pillow/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
