  1. Love it that Trump hopelessly tries to ignore that she is the only interlocutor (or the EU trade Commissioner) for a trade deal, and that he cannot negotiate with individual Member States.
  2. Lol! The alleged "cover up' occured under Trump's DOJ!
  3. Meloni has not much power on this matter, so it's mainly symbolic. In order to better understand her stance, it should be noted that one of her close advisors is Mario Draghi (the author of the report).
  4. Fact is that there was nothing incriminating for Joe Biden in the laptop. The GOP committee tried for two years to exploit its content, called witnesses, etc... and failed miserably! 🤣 The loser Giuliani tried a dirty trick and failed, as usual.
  5. Well we can at least agree that Trump was not able to win the 2020 election on his own merits, without smearing Biden!
  6. Actually the WH claimed that was the formula they used!
  7. Lol! The Sussman trial confirmed that the FBI did not trust the Alfa bank story and did not use it. It also confirmed that the investigation started before the Alfa Bank allegation was made anyway. But don't let truth get in the way of a good MAGA B.S. claim! The Durham investigation was a complete waste of time and taxpayers' money.
  8. It's a fight between a guy who doesn't anticipate anything and is just improvising, and a technocracy which has started to plan for it since Trump 1.0 imposed the first tariffs. That's a polite way to express it!
  9. Ridiculous B.S. You don't know what you are talking about (and on top of it, you are not representing anyone). 🤣 BTW, I don't agree with my "budy", as he claims they support the Chinese regime by choice because they are so happy. Try to follow what I write instead of making it up. My point is that they have been brainwashed by propaganda since primary school. I am also not pro-Russia.
  10. You've seen videos but I've spent in total around one year in China. Only a minority of people uses VPNs and they are frequently blocked. And even educated people who use VPNs are nationalist (and could even be party members). The information people have easily access to is fully controlled by the CCP.
  11. Are you really ignorant about China or are you just pretending not to understand my point? Chinese kids are enrolled in Communist pioneer organisations since primary school and all leisure activities are directly controlled by the CCP until university included. All media and social media are controlled by security forces. There is no freedom of information in China and they are continuously fed by propaganda.
  12. Hated by the right when he was Democrat leaning, and now loved by the right! What a bunch of very nasty two faced people!
  13. Most Chinese citizen can see only what they are allowed to see, and have been fed with Chinese propaganda since primary school. That's why they are ready to endure anything against the evil U.S.
  14. Obama smartly tried to surround China with two essential trade agreements: the TTIP with the EU and the TPP with Asian countries. Of course, Trump 1.0 stupidly trashed them!
  15. This anti-DEI circus is just a way to keep the MAGA masses busy and give them a sense of power, while the real issue (money) is kept under control (I.e. tax cuts for the rich).
  16. So will UK get a first mover advantage? The White House pressed for fast negotiations with its shock and awe tariffs. Now it can’t drum up enough interest from a ‘first mover’ https://www.yahoo.com/news/white-house-pressed-fast-negotiations-105125985.html
  17. "Imagine" that you had read Ornato's testimony instead of parroting the RW propaganda served to you! 🤣
  18. Too bad Hillary did not try to overturn the 2016 election, did not call anyone to find her 11 700 votes. Oh, and that Obama did not refuse to give back Presidential records and did not hide them!
  19. Only if you believe what Trump said. The current trade deals or the basic WTO regime are not particularly unfair to the U.S. The U.S. was also imposing tariffs on some products and also had non-tariff protections exactly like the other countries. Most of them, for example the EU, don't have the equivalent of the buy American act. 100 countries suddenly deciding to negotiate trade deals to abolish some tariffs is also propaganda. Most of them were already open to it before. For example, the EU was negotiating the TTIP with the Obama administration and it's Trump who torpedoed it. Asian countries currently targeted by Trump's tariffs also agreed to the TPP agreement pushed by Obama, and it's also Trump who withdraw from it. Of course China has often been cheating in one way or the other, we can all agree with that.
  20. On top of it according to Ornato's testimony touted by MAGAs the 'offer' was made to the DC mayor.
  21. Meadow evoked Trump's idea in a discussion with Bowser ( DC mayor) in order to protect the protesters, not to protect the Capitol (see quotes from Ornato's testimony in my post, you know the testimony touted by Loudermilk) As to Pelosi, she was not in charge of security at the Capitol and was not involved in it. She was also not DC mayor. It's a MAGA lie. Oh and Trump still watched the assault on TV and did nothing.
  22. Promise made, promise kept! That was in January 2024 so it's a bit late. But we know it's not easy to fulfill promises!
