At this point I don’t know what else you do except to just ban all Russian athletes from all international competitions indefinitely. It’s clear there’s an intractable problem that they have no interest in cleaning up, and allowing them into the Olympics but just not playing the Russian anthem clearly isn’t…

“The cleanest and most checked in the world.”

I wouldn’t be too quick to dismiss the athletes’ claims.

Kruporushnikov also went on to say that Russian interference only occurs in lower level elections in the US, and that the national elections like president are “the cleanest and most checked in the world.”

That is an absolutely phenomenal, outstanding take.

I’m glad the rest of American society doesn’t work this way. Now excuse me while I listen to music by Alan Thicke’s son, Billy Ray Cyrus’s daughter, and Loudon Wainwright III’s son and then watch a movie with Rocky Johnson’s son or maybe one with Robert Pine’s son, Patty Duke’s son or Goldie Hawn’s daughter. Or maybe…

I think I’ve had my fill of rewarding jackass behavior with positions of power.

What more do the Raptors have to do to get even a mention in the States? 3rd overall in the ENTIRE LEAGUE!!! Can’t even get a mention as a possibility of being a good team in the East below the Cavs. I guess the Wizards and Sixers are just way better.

If it takes eight years to pay the car off, the technology in it will be older than that keyboard-having Blackberry you still keep in the nightstand you don’t need to be looking at buying/leasing any new car.

Still only worth 2 points in Canadian.

Shit, I want to star both comments but it sucks that you are right.

No, the one that recognizes there are problems with the system and tries to help others regardless.

The one that leaves its veterans homeless and destitute so they have to rely on random strangers for even a bare minimum of an existence?

This is the America I know and love.

I suspect that the financial success of China’s accidental billionaires has more to do with family and crony connections in the upper echelons of the “Communist” Party than to charisma.

Louisianna is one of the states that just sucks federal money up and claims to be conservative.

This summarizes well about the company
 “It puzzles me why Jia is fundraising for Faraday Future,” said Yale Zhang, an analyst at Shanghai-based consultancy Auto Foresight. “He cashed in so much without ever fully explaining where the money went. He should invest some of his own money and produce a better car first.”

“Anti-corruption campaign” is an exciting new re-branding of “mass wealth redistribution from one elite to another” now that term “revolution” is no longer in vogue.

I don’t think our capitalism is any more noble.
