Trump seeks to make the most of historic Georgia mugshot

Because, as before with the Irak war, they believe the B.S. served to them. -
Trump seeks to make the most of historic Georgia mugshot
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Additional comment. I just checked and there was much more support by Republicans than by Democrats. Since the start of the war, there has been a wide partisan gap on the question of using force in Iraq. In March 2003, with major combat operations ongoing, the gap was substantial: 93% of Republicans supported the decision to use force, compared with 66% of independents and 59% of Democrats. This gap persisted through the first year of the year. Across all surveys conducted in 2003, 90% of Republicans backed the decision to use force, compared with 66% of independents and 50% of Democrats. Over the ensuing years, support for the war has plummeted among independents and Democrats plummeted, while Republicans have remained largely supportive. In surveys conducted in 2008 — the last year of George W. Bush’s presidency — just 17% of Democrats said it was the right decision to take military action in Iraq, compared with 73% of Republicans. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2011/11/23/views-of-the-iraq-war/ -

It makes no sense to compare the Ukraine war with the Irak war. As to MAGA fans, there's no much change. They have not drawn lessons from the Irak war scam, and are still ready to believe any B.S. they are fed with. -

Of course, most people bought it then, including the current MAGAs who are old enough. I just find funny to read the same guys who enthusiasticly supported the Irak war now complaining about Bush and others not having been prosecuted, as an argument. -

What's not allowed? You probably won't find any posters who are sympathetic about it. It's a shame Bush and Cheney have not been prosecuted for that. And It's rich coming from a right-wing poster, as the current MAGA fans were all waving the American flag and cheering this war. -
France to ban female students from wearing abayas in state schools
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Practically, it's the opposite happening. In districts with a significant number of families originating from immigration (mainly Muslims), parents tend to leave public schools because there are too many kids of foreign origin, and send their kids to private schools. It's a big problem as it doesn't help integration. -

In particular as it is really a "sacred" issue for Sikhs. For Muslims, it's not absolutely mandatory. -

There has been a long debate about the Sikh turban and the "Conseil d'Etat" estimated that even the under-turban should be considered as conspicuous. Practically, it's true that it mainly affects Muslims as they are the only ones imposing to wear conspicuous signs (on girls only, which is another issue). The spirit of the law can be easily examplified: when you look at kids playing in the schoolyard, you cannot distinguish one religion from the others. -

The Sikh turban is certainly not allowed in public schools. As to religions signs, the law only prohibits conspicuous (ostensible) signs. So small jewel crosses are allowed, same as small Muslim or Jewish religious signs ( they are usually weared under garments). -

There's no Islam bashing. It's the same for other religions. No Kippa, no big cross weared above clothes, etc... As I explained in a previous post, it's an adaptation of a rule established long before Muslims settled in France. Actually, the whole French secular doctrine has been established against the dominance of the Catholic Church. -

Are you suggesting that terrorists' will should dictate or influence public policies of a democratic and secular country? -
The Memo: Judge scrambles election with decision on Trump trial date

She said the rioters were not loyal to the constitution: fact, not opinion She said they did it because of loyalty to Trump: fact, not opinion. She added that Trump was free: fact, not opinion. Of course, for Trumpers, stating facts is being biased..... -

That's what Trump says. Can you link to a quote of what she exactly said? -

It's even worse than that! State-owned companies represent 60% of China GDP, and the others are more or less indirectly controlled. Following your reasoning, It means that a large part of the U.S. economy is influenced by the CUP. This link lists the main U.S. companies working with China. They nearly all work with State-owned companies. So according to your (lack of) reasoning, they are under CCP influence. Below, just the beginning of the list of companies under CPC influence! It's frightening! ???? 3M Company A.O. Smith Corporation ABB Inc. Abbott Laboratories Adobe Systems Incorporated Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Agilent Technologies, Inc.

Public support for new Brexit referendum revealed
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
The "unprepared" side (UK politicians and staff) had been involved for decades in EU negotiations with other countries. It had been not only confronted to the EU doctrine on that matter, but also contributed to its design. So it is worse than being only "unprepared". -
