Defiant Trump turns up at $250m New York fraud trial to blast 'scam'
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
For example, do you think that people who believe Pizzagate conspiracy (among other conspiracy theories) are not nutters? Really? Poll: 46 Percent Of Trump Voters Believe ‘Pizzagate’ Theory https://dcist.com/story/16/12/28/poll/ https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/dec/28/pizzagate-theory-believed-by-nearly-half-of-republ/ I can go on with several other ridiculous conspiracy theories believed by the same people: Obama is a foreigner, elections have been stolen, etc..- 347 replies

I agree that people are sensible to inflation and that it has a negative influence on their perception of the government (same as in other countries). It is usual for economists to compare G7 countries. The graph shows how the U.S. has succeded in reducing inflation after the initial inflation surge better than most other G7 countries. https://www.ft.com/content/088d3368-bb8b-4ff3-9df7-a7680d4d81b2

News outlets deny advance knowledge of Hamas attack on Israel
candide replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
Oh, I understand. Yes. They mention the post from an Israeli guy on Twitter claiming It's him, and the photographer's claim It's someone else on the same bike. If he was filming the video, It was not him, it was the guy before him on the bike. Or maybe he was the guy right behind the driver, and someone else was filming. -

News outlets deny advance knowledge of Hamas attack on Israel
candide replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
? There's nothing hidden or censored about it. It has been mentioned in several MSMs! Ex. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/09/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-hamas-photographers.html https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/hamas-journalist-revelation-legacy-media-terror-ties-scrutiny The video is on Twitter. I have no idea if It's him or if the video is undoctored. There are three persons on the bike, the driver, then the one holding a grenade, then the one filming. -

I agree It's unlikely the media would have known it in advance. Even by putting ethical concerns aside, they would not have missed the headline of the year by being the first to announce it publicly. It's possible that some FL journalists may have been warned short before by their contacts. Hamas convoys may also have been spoted on the way. However, It's also worth noting that Gaza is very small. It's probably not more than a 20/30 mn ride to reach the border from Gaza city. -

Right, there were no wars during the pandemic....in particular from Russia which population decreased by one million in one year. Not a good time to start a war. Afghanistan, oh yeah, this perfect agreement negotiated by Trump, only with the Talibans, consacrating them as unique interlocutor. On top of it, followed by a unilateral withdrawal of most U.S. troops and the release of Taliban fighters from prison, without the Talibans needing to respect their commitments, it worked quite well... Same m.o. as Trump's so called peace initiatives in ME, designed without the Palestinians and Iran, what could have gone wrong? 😃 As to Putin's motivation, it is common knowledge that he was encouraged by the Jan.6 events and that he was betting on internal U.S. divisions. In the same as he is currently comforted by the MAGA opposition to supporting Ukraine further. -

So there was a phantom company, a shell company, and also a conflict of interest as Comer was supervising agricultural activities as a committee member. -

According to this article, she received $34,000 from the Soros family. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-judge-letitia-james-trial-george-soros-truth-social-republicans-1841020 @Skipalongcassidy What's wrong with being funded by Soros (among others)? Because of a conspiracy theory claiming that a network of people from a certain religion are trying to control the world? -
Blockbuster movie scares Chinese tourists away from Thailand
candide replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
I doubt money goes back to China. It's more valuable in Thailand than in China. Chinese businessmen are eager to put their money out of CCP's reach That's the main reason why they were buying condos in Thailand. Since China banned crypto trade, It's more difficult for them to export their money. I would not be surprised Chinese networks had organised private compensation systems in order to avoid moving money. -
Chinese tourists are returning - but not to Thailand
candide replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
40% is likely excessive, but stats provided by the Chinese government have never been reliable and are influenced by political concerns. It is very likely much worse than 5%. https://www.scmp.com/economy/economic-indicators/article/3201003/how-reliable-chinas-job-data-and-who-included-unemployment-rate https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2012/10/05/162319548/no-one-trusts-chinas-unemployment-rate -
Trump leads Biden in 5 key battleground states: poll
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
In nearly every country in the world, life was better pre-covid than now: less inflation, lower gas prices, etc.... and people are often blaming their current governments for the current inflation, although It's a global trend. That's the case in the U.S. too. Trump had no responsibility in pre-covid inflation level and gas prices, as it was also a global trend, but some people tend to attribute some merit to him about it. Will Biden's economic achievements, I.e. GDP growth and employment, overcome the perceived blame for inflation level? It's not the case now but will have to wait how it fares next year. In any case, he's lucky to have Trump as potential GOP candidate so they are currently tied. https://www.racetothewh.com/president/polls -
