  1. We are lucky to have Biden as President in this crisis rather than the previous one. Just imagine if miltary aids were held back for political leverage, Ukraine will be part of Russia months back.
  2. This nuclear threat is very worrisome. In 2020 Putin endorsed a nuclear deterrent policy that allow him to use nuclear if the country existence is threatened. The rush for the sham referendums will permit him to follow through with the policy. No doubt the sham referendums will be corruptly carried out with majority of the people wanting to be part of Russia. They faked that in Crimea and will do the same in Ukraine.
  3. EU and ASEAN are completely different in their political orientation. They may share some commonalities like free trade and multilateralism but don’t have the same ecosystem like common currency, legal frameworks, budget constraints etc. It wouldn’t work for Asean and better that it stay as a collaborative entity.
  4. You really think the immigrants who forced to flee from persecution, violence, armed conflicts, poverty etc and walked for days/weeks will turned back when they are confronted with a 'nice' barrier. Really.
  5. Texas border cities will be better run by Beto O'Rourke. Abbott spent too much time on political stunts than governing.
  6. Desantis and Abbott's political stunt exploiting the immigrants as pawns may benefit the Dems trying to reshape how they can win over Hispanic voters. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/17/desantis-migrant-transports-south-florida-00057337
  7. You are a funny guy. In that commission report was a section on evidence of voter fraud and was “glaringly empty”.
  8. Need not have to grow to cause carnage to the country akin to domestic terrorism.
  9. Why the need to wait after the midterms when Trumpç crooked DOJ had four years to investigate and indict if there were evdence. Barr could have bowed to GOP pressure to appoint a special counsel. But he didn't and in his own words "sees no reason" and that the case has been handled responsibly and professionally within the department. Trump was adamant at appointing a special counsel to throw a spanner into the election. Very political reasoning.
  10. Sorry can't agree with you on the notion that he was the less worst choice of candidate. How can you reconcile the fact that he lost the popular vote by a massive 2.87 million votes to Clinton.
  11. Are you suggesting that Biden’s Rescue Package Plan caused inflation!? And there will be no inflation if there is no RPP? The post Covid-19 inflation is more complicated that just spending. Labour market changes, rising energy and commodity prices, supply chain dysfunction and Ukraine war have contributed to inflation. Is your mind all made up to blame Biden? If so, no point for me to explain simple things that everyone is aware.
  12. In the last 25 years, general inflation - overall increase cost of living- has increased 75%. I just have to made adjustments and some sacrifices as the value of the funds go down. Give that a try. Complaining about it will not help.
  13. Not an irony but just economic reality. Stocks tend to be more volatile when inflation is elevated. External factors impacted inflation not only in US. FED make decision independently to rise rate and fallouts like falling demand and higher corporate debts servicing will dampen stock. Biden’s has done good things as #placeholder posted. I also credit Biden for managing the covid-19 pandemic well and also the supply disruption which elevated prices of some items. Bills like the China Competition and Infrastructure Bills will benefit the economy. Really not much to complain about the economy in this tough transitional period coming out of the pandemic and the Ukraine war.
  14. So by your logic, stop the migrants and you stop murders, drug, raping etc in good old USA.
  15. Who is allowing unvetted migrants to enter? There is no open border policy. Please enlighten.
  16. Predictable reply. All your information were not verified even the 24 years old man being in the batch of children flown in to Jacksonville. All those accusation was from De Santis's mouth and even his Sr. Poiicy Advisor Larry Keefe didn't know where De Santis got his information.
  17. What I meant by hoax was that De Santis was disingenuous about the fact and engaged in hookwinking the public. Firstly, the flights were routine and for underage immigrants detained at the border and transporting them to special children's shelters or to meet sponsors around the country. Biden administration brief the Florida governor's office about the flights and his press secretary Christine Pushaw confirmed knowledge of the flights. De Santis claimed flights came in the night but didn't explained that late-night arrivals were due to travel logistics, including the length of the flights from Texas and other stops they had to make on the way. Most flights came in the day. I still think that you are a victim of De Santis's political hoax. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/11/17/politics/desantis-florida-republicans-routine-migrant-flights-immigration/index.html
  18. News was reported by De Santis office last year. Not verified by any agencies. You may be a victim of a hoax political stunt.
  19. Sorry mate. Your effort comes to naught.. Read the above article. I summarized the keynote for your convenience. Now Durham appears to be winding down his three-year inquiry without anythingclose to the results Trump was seeking.
  20. I am more concern for the threat to democracy then Joe's mental health. Fortunate for America, he stopped that anti-democracy ex-President for another 4 years of decline.
