The whole country is suffering under the current administration, whose performance is the reason for the protests.
Bring in real democracy and the country and economy will flourish.
Really?
And those countries with "real democracy" are doing so fantastically well with their economies and social environments, law and order etc, are they?

Biden has released his tax returns, so we already know that you're being untruthful.
Are you a tax accountant who has audited Mr. Biden's finances?
Do you remotely think that anyone engaged in corruption and corrupt payments would actually declare the income received on their official tax returns?
The question is have the Bidens been thoroughly audited and investigated for unusual and/or hidden wealth?
Do they have any family trusts, charities or foundations?

Articles by a co-reporter who worked as a producer for Sean Hannity for over 3 years, who has no experience as an investigative reporter, and did absolutely no independent investigation of the validity of the data. It is to laugh.
Sounds like they learned a bit from Mr. Schiff and his cohorts.
Btw - how come Joe and his campaign management aren't denying it? Even contradicting one another.
I remember, at the height of the Russian Hoax investigations led by the vocal Mr. Schiff. many many Democrat supporters on here were saying "no smoke without fire" even when there was no real evidence.
So guess what, with Biden corruption - no smoke without fire!
Good job the VP candidate has a spotless, blemish free past ????

The police were told he was mentally ill. They chose to ignore that and beat him to death.
You seem to find that acceptable just because he displayed signs of his illness. Still, no more than expected.
It was prison guards not police officers. Probably less trained, lower recruitment standards, and less supervision.

I would agree with you - apart from the fact that many who do this are suffering mental health issues, aren't necessarily in control of their mind and actions, may be paranoid and may have lost contact with reality.
Locking them up and then beating them to death when they respond oddly really isn't a sensible course of action.

No mention of Donald knowing that Giuliani was targeted to be a Russian asset in order to slander the Biden family in a fake document dump?
Intelligence officials warned Trump that Giuliani was target of Russian influence campaign
The Washington Post - did they get this from another of their unnamed, totally reliable, 100% pukka, secret sources again? Oh no, 4 former offices this time, no less. All hearsay of course. But hey oh - par for the course.
No political bias from them of course!

High turnout is always good news for the Democrats.
High turnout for early voting in States where Republican administrations have done all they can to deter voting within ‘Democrat supporting’ counties is super good news.
Can you provide links to the reports of Republican administrations doing all they can to deter voting within Democrat supporting counties please?

And if we accept for a minute that is true, why is it necessarily a bad thing?
Think about it. If the few bailing out the many suddenly can't afford it then who does the bailing?
The idea of a common market was good. Many initial EU policies were good. The idea of richer countries helping poorer ones improve, excellent. But unfortunately, human nature being what it is, many of those poorer ones saw it as a get rich quick for not doing anything scheme. Corruption, bureaucracy, rule bending and ignoring etc etc.
Those politicians who see ever more closer union and federalism as the goal, won't ever consult the people in their countries. They are more concerned with creating an ideological bureaucratic state rules by the center and controlling everything. That's why a few countries, in which the electorate have elected less compliant politicians are now beginning to oppose the EU dictates.

9 hours ago, luckyluke said:I am rather perplexed with these announcements, seems contradictory.
Or does that mean that no one care about what Mr. Johnson is saying,
and negotiations goes simply on.
Not really. You have to read between the lines. The "big cheeses" are each saying the other side must give way, but not themselves of course. Macron wants to bully the UK and Johnson is having none of it and is now saying don't bother coming for more talks...................... unless you change your tune.
Barnier and Frost know that they better plan to meet next week as it's possible either of their bosses will give them new instructions.
Letting French fishermen plunder the UK waters, having Germany dictate what tax regimes it must implement and how its businesses must be regulated is clearly never gonna be acceptable. Or would France and Germany accept the UK dictating to them? The UK has already offered a fishing deal much the same as Norway has with the EU. Only Macron daren't move from his position. The UK will not bow to EU law. Which interestingly German Courts have ruled recently doesn't overrule Germany law; or have France, the biggest cheats in the EU on state aid, deciding what the UK can and can't do with its businesses.
Both sides need to get real or walk away. Johnson has that right at least.

If the unfortunate teacher either didn't consider or chose to ignore that he had muslim children in the class who may have been offended, he wasn't exercising ANY critical thinking.
There's a plethora of ways of teaching examples of 'freedom of speech' and not all of them require cartoons of someone else's chosen deity.
Actually, the teacher, according to the BBC, did warn the children what he was going to show. He asked Muslims to raise a hand and then, having explained to them what he would show, and why it was important to show it, whether they wanted to leave. He respected their right. Muslim radicals did not respect his right, nor the law.
Islam is not protected more than any other ideology. It and it's followers are not above the law. They do not have the right to murder or commit violence if they don't like someone else's views.

Because other Muslim countries, the richer better educated ones, know exactly what the one from poorer, low educated more radical ones are like.
They don't want them and won't have them in.

It is good they have these content advisories. They are not banning the films, but are instead helping us reflect on our history. We must recognize the wrongs of the past, acknowledge them, face them and move on a litle wiser. Now is the time to ask: Can we learn anything from history?
I cannot see how this is merely political correctness. Younger people watch Disney and this may be their only exposure to history.
The racism is wrong, mistakes were made and we must move on - but that does not mean that one race is bad because they discriminated - they were wrong and need to make it right.
If you look deep enough into history, I think you will find every culture has had "their moments" of prejudice and misanthropy. The Vikings enslaved white people. The Ottomons were involved in slavery, and who was meaner than Genghis Khan? The Romans and Greeks had slaves and many historians tell us Africans could not have been enslaved in such large numbers had it not been for other Africans aiding and abetting the slavetraders.
If you check the actual facts you'll find out far more Europeans were enslaved by the Ottomans and their Barbary Pirate friends. Many raids on coastal communities captured large numbers. Service in the Ottoman galleys, sold in slave markets or ransomed back.
This focus on one small window in the appalling history of slavery, which is still very active today, by BLM and those demanding reparations is pure pantomime and a corruption of history.

Yes it's a great quote, and illustrates perfectly how focussing on one minor issue can make you incapable of seeing the broader picture.
However we are wasting our time, Brexit has become a religion with sacred beliefs, such as the transubstantiation of the flesh! We are dealing with fundamentalists here, many of them on TV it appears. People who believe that Islam justifies sacrifice for Allah, are the same type as those who believe that Brexit justifies failing to get a trade deal, and defaulting to an economy destroying hard Brexit.
Who wins from a UK economy ruined by Brexit and Covid? Well...... London is already one of the biggest tax avoidance capital cities in the world, that should give us a start.
Boris is no idealist, he never really cared about Brexit one way or the other, he is a careerist, the question remains who is going to line his pockets?
I think Macron, the ex-banker (with a b not a w) is just like Boris. Both careerists, and both having their pockets lined; egotistical entitled elitists too.
Merkel, isn't. And I'd wager she'd love to see this sorted much more amicably as part of her swansong.
As for the other leaders - whatever, as they ain't important. France and Germany clearly call the shots.
Looking more and more like a nasty no deal with huge resentment and silly behavior - all because greedy French fishermen refuse to change.

Essentially, Britain will be a colony of the EU, with its laws and resources controlled by the EU while the British don't even get a vote or say in the matter.
Spot in summary mate.
Marcron is terrified of the powerful French fishermen lobby and their farmer allies. He knows being seen to be weak on this means big future election issues for him and his party. So of course, he sees his career and French fishermen as the center of the universe.
Germany is terrified of being unable to compete on a really level playing field and therefore wants to dictate to Britain and British businesses. Germany's once protected economy, rebuilt by the allies after WW11, is starting to stall and splutter. And, remember, Germany bankrolls the EU. The French can't, never have and never will be able. That's why both France and Germany want ever closer union - so they can strengthen their grip and control.
Britain currently, is in no mood to cave in to demands that they, and they alone, must give way, roll over and be shafted.
Gonna get nasty. French fishermen have already said they'll take action to disrupt the ports if they can't have their own way.
Interesting to see how "unified" the other EU states remain if the only final sticking point is greedy French fishermen.

Do they censor what they don't like or what is unconfirmed?
It seems lots of stories seem to become "real" when they are repeated often enough on social media. Is that good?
I.e. that stupid Q-Anon conspiracy. Wouldn't it be much better if social media would not have spread that and other crazy conspiracy theories?
I think it should be the duty of the media to publish the truth. But I guess I am a little old-fashioned with that expectation.
That's fine, providing they do that to all and every story, and not based on their own political bias. Seeing how the traditional media have evolved I wouldn't count on sm being any different.

Only Thailand don't rule the world's forex markets, do they?
Nor are all the traders Thai.
Unbelievable how some posters seem to think Thailand controls and manipulates the world's currency markets! Often the same posters who like to pretend how superior their country is too 555!
