A bit nitpicky, but that would more correctly be referred to as the EC president. There’s also the CEU president (Council of EU) which is more akin to a president of EU (which is also technically wrong).
My point is, the structure of the EU is more complicated than republics and there is no real “president” of the EU, which makes that term quite vague and potentially misleading.
Thanks for the additional explanations, I’m not from the US so I’m not too familiar with how voting works there.
I’m still not sure I understand what “straight Democratic tickets” mean. Is it people who only voted Democratic before and this was their first time voting Republican?
If that’s the case, I’d be interested to read more about this if there are some sources you know of. It sounds like pretty solid evidence for election rigging.
And it has no sugar
That’s why there were millions of straight Democratic ballots, with Trump at the top, all concentrated in the swing states. Nobody votes that way, NOBODY.
What do you mean by this?
Islamic State of Syria
Probably Copenhagen, since it’s significantly further north. It’s around the same latitude as southern Alaska.
Did you read the article? It was most likely a Ukrainian drone on its way to Ust-Luga that malfunctioned and went into Estonia. Not the first time it’s happened either.
Because it’s not “everyone” who vote for these idiots. In pretty much every single country there’s a clear pattern: the less educated and more isolated rural people vote for like-minded politicians, who tend to do a shit job. Then the more educated and less prejudiced urban people get upset and start protesting.
I agree with you on all points, but I’d also like to add that there’s an argument the current system in sports discriminates towards women.
In many sports, there’s a top league for men and a top league for women. Since men on average perform better, the men league is almost always favored, meaning there’s more money from advertisement and sponsorships, providing more lucrative contracts for the players.
Even if a woman would be among the very best in a sport, she’ll never be able to actually play in the top league in the best teams with the most lucrative contracts, which I think is 100% sexist.
And they will again in two years
Can someone explain to me in what world real mozzarella cheese is a weird square? I’ve only ever seen the white blobs which definitely aren’t squares.
Cute of you to think the US still respects any laws.
To be honest, there is some pretty credible evidence that Maduro in fact was a dictator. There’s a whole section on it in his Wikipedia article.
HOWEVER, that does in no way justify this oil war the US is starting, nor will this kidnapping in any way improve things for the people of Venezuela.

The whole man/woman categorization is a social construct trying to simplify something incredibly complex. Sometimes the simplification works better (with typical cisgender people) and sometimes it really doesn’t describe the underlying complexities well (with transgender/intersex/etc).
Pretty much, because the organisers of this event won’t follow their own rules and does anything and everything to keep the genociders participating.
To reiterate, the turmoil is not directly because of the genocide, but it’s because EBU (the organisers) refuse to allow its members to even vote on whether Israel (who have constantly been breaking the rules in recent years) are allowed to participate, despite EBU’s own rules clearly stating that such votings should be conducted.
The double standard is unbelievably biased and has permanently destroyed the contest’s reputation.
I’m pretty sure the real reason it’s projected is so it doesn’t get covered by snow in the winter. At least that’s the reason for projected street signs elsewhere in Finland, such as in Oulu.
Not necessarily bad, but it is quite rare. It only occurs when something doesn’t work properly.
It’s a bridge, just hop up on the railing and let it rip
