It's a shame how the situation has worsened over years. Jews don't feel safe and often keep a low profile. Police forces are stationed in front of temples and Jewish schools. I can imagine how Jewish mothers are constantly worried. And more recently, one of the main left-wing (well, LFI is rather far left) parties actually did not clearly condemn the October 7 slaughter, just for electoral reasons. And they dare refer to Leon Blum's popular front! I am neither right-wing nor a supporter of Netanyahu's policies, but I find this disgusting. And the next election will be likely won either by the racist anti-arab/muslim RN, or by a left wing coalition led by a party (LFI) flirting with antisemists. This is F#(¥ up!

My comment as external observer. To some extent, anything can work as long as there is a coherent project, which is shared and supported by enough people. The problem with Brexit is that there never was, and there's still no such project. I am not even talking about remainers. They were against Brexit and it seems there's nothing really motivating for them to change their mind. The problem lies with Brexiters. There is no commonality of interest between the people who voted Brexit because they felt they were left behind (I.e. in the NE), and the proponents of an ultra-liberal and global Britain (i.e. the ERG), who are exactly the people who left the others behind.

Lol! It's the convicted felon who lost the 2020 election, who regularly call Biden 'Obama'! 😃

Calling other people dumb, that's rich! 🤣

It was about someone in particular, whose relations with the coup makers are well-known. As this person was not in really good terms with someone currently very influential, I doubt anything would happen to Thaksin. It's possibly just a way to remind him who's the boss.

Nonsense! The principle of zero dollar tours is that the original fee doesn't cover the cost, and that the money is actually earned by commissions on what tourist spend in the country of destination. That's why It's called zero dollar tours. A large share of expenses occurs in Thailand. On top of it, one of the key concerns for Chinese businessmen is to put as much money as possible out of reach of the CPC. The money stays in Thailand and is used to buy businesses and condos. How do you think Chinese people can buy expensive condos in Thailand, while they are not allowed to take more then $50,000 per year out of Thailand?

Which evil works?

I remember MAGA posters on this forum claiming he was talking metaphorically (well, It's not exactly the word they used)! 😃 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-suggests-injection-disinfectant-beat-coronavirus-clean-lungs-n1191216

Trump has shown he wasn't able to face a major crisis without reacting like a self-centered idiot. The only he cared was the negative impact on stock prices! It's just a flu! Ah, ah! It's a Dem hoax! 😃

On which virus was it? 😅

MAGA fans were already hating him for not following Trump's medical advices. From now on, it will be a slaughter! 😃

Typical MAGA trolling m.o. to never take into account the replies to their posts and ask exactly the same question or make exactly the same claim a few hours or days later......

Is "Pride" an official celebration and holiday?

It's funny how MAGAs and assimilated posters are already preparing lame excuses in anticipation of a possible Trump's fail during this debate. MAGAs always have a conspiracy theory at hand in order to refute reality... Same as Trump claiming the election is rigged when he's not sure to win (I.e. before the 2016 and 2020 elections). 😃

Trump also asked him to investigate his Crowdstrike B.S.! You know, the boss is Ukrainian, the server is in Ukraine... 😃 It's funny to read hiwbZelinski dumped it, in a diplomatic way, by talking about something else... https://templatearchive.com/trump-zelenskiy-phone-call-transcript/

Pathetic....

According to the OP, it's not 12 million either... 😃

You mean slanted fact checks such as: "no Mr. Trump, the 2020 election was not rigged and you did not win it"? 🤣

It's similar in other developped countries as inflation is a global phenomenon and they are all affected by the same trends. Actually, under Trump, inflation tended to be higher than in other developped countries. The main significant difference, compared to other developped countries, is that, with a similar inflation level, the U.S. has generated much more GDP growth. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/

In Europe, terrorism is a very concerning topic, as we have seen our people die from it. There is no way to scare terrorists once they have decided to be a terrorist, because they are ready to die. However, terrorism doesn't come out in a vacuum. A short look at the personal history of terrorists shows that they have followed a trajectory, such as first being exposed to radical ideas, then being progressively convinced and involved, then being helped, etc...Terrorists are fed ideas and information, supported, sheltered, by an ecosystem. It may be in social networks, mosques, etc... Participants in this ecosystem are not necessarily bad, they may just be stupid. It's probably the case of the guy in the O.P.. It's also probably the case of the guy who lended a flat to the terrorists who slaughtered people in Paris years ago. He found them a bit strange, but after all, "it wasn't his business". Such people can be scared and must be scared to get involved in anything related to terrorism.

The old trick of the sentence isolated from its context..... 😁 “As the US Attorney for the District of Delaware, my charging authority is geographically limited to my home district,” Weiss says. “If venue for a case lies elsewhere, common Departmental practice is to contact the United States Attorney’s Office for the district in question and determine whether it wants to partner on the case. If not, I may request Special Attorney status from the Attorney General pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 515.” “Here, I have been assured that, if necessary after the above process, I would be granted § 515 Authority in the District of Columbia, the Central District of California, or any other district where charges could be brought in this matter,” he added. https://nypost.com/2023/07/01/hunter-biden-prosecutor-david-weiss-maintains-he-had-ultimate-authority-over-probe/

1 Yet I have provided a source quoting the interviews of witnesses contradicting the so-called whistleblowers. Unlike you, I don't link documents which don't support my claims. You did not provide any evidence the WB testimony alerted the Judge, as It's not true. Same as as the 'sweetheart deal' fable. 😁

The so-called IRS whistleblowers have been later contradicted by other witnesses....

It's funny how MAGA posters have avoided this thread after they understood it happened under Trump! 😃

"In their recent testimony, the other FBI and IRS officials in the October 2022 meeting have supported Weiss’s version of events on several key points of contention, particularly his allegation that Weiss said he was “not the deciding person” on whether to bring charges. “I do not remember – I don’t – he didn’t say that. In my recollection, if he would have said that, I would have remembered it,” Thomas Sobocinski, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Baltimore field office, told the committee. “I do not recall that ever being said,” said Darrell Waldon, who was previously Shapley’s boss as the IRS special agent in charge of the Washington, DC, field office overseeing criminal investigations. “I don’t remember him saying that,” said Ryeshia Holley, an assistant special agent in charge with the FBI, who added she thought Shapley may have been confused or misunderstood what transpired at the meeting." https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/19/politics/witness-testimony-disputes-irs-whistleblower-hunter-biden/index.html
