Talking about conspiracy theories, lol! ???? The IG found the FBI did not display any political bias when initiating the investigation of Trump and the Russian government. The Durham investigation did not prove the opposite, despite the time and money wasted. On top of it, knowing that it will likely be investigated by the GOP, one can be sure that the FBI (led by a Trump appointee) did everything by the book.

By curiosity, what do you think Trump did was bad, and good?

An interesting question raised in the article: do current models still represent the current structure and behaviour of markets.

So what? Republicans are lying all the time. Dems can lie a bit too! ???? The truth is that no government (not only in the U.S.) can significantly reduce inflation on short-term under current global economic conditions. Increasing interest rate may have an impact but it's out of the scope of government's responsibilities. On this subject the GOP is also lying, when it claims it would be able to reduce Inflation. Anyway, no budget deficit increase as Hanaguma claimed, and no Inflation increase as you claimed. To the extent the Wharton's model can be trusted, of course.

I personnaly never claimed it would reduce inflation. It's you who claimed it would increase inflation.

Well, Wharton School of Business, cited by Hanaguma (in a post you liked), desagrees with it and considers the impact on inflation will be statistically indistinguishable from zero,

And the reason is....money! "The average American insulin user spent $3490 on insulin in 2018 compared with $725 among Canadians. Over the study period, the average cost per unit of insulin in the United States increased by 10.3% compared with only 0.01% in Canada." https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(21)00883-1/fulltext

The report you linked also said it will reduce (a bit) budget deficit, so there is no "for sure, it does guarantee larger deficits in the future". So according to the report you linked: - budget deficit reduction - no significant inflation effect. It's not bad for a bill bringing plenty of other benefits. Why is it called "inflation reduction act"? For the same reason the GOP is claiming it can reduce inflation with policies which cannot actually reduce inflation on short term. Now the Dems have the inflation reduction act. This reason is called "politics".

It seems some people have doubts about it... https://www.amnesty.eu/news/hungary-fraudulent-fear-rules-among-judges/ https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/12/world/europe/hungary-courts.html https://europeanjournalists.org/blog/2019/12/03/new-report-hungary-dismantles-media-freedom-and-pluralism/ https://www.rcmediafreedom.eu/Dossiers/Country-factsheet-Hungary

How annoying! Trumpers cannot post the usual fake news without being debunked! ????

Because one of the main reasons Hungary is partly free is Orban's own conduct, in particular by restricting media and judiciary' s independence. No such conduct by Zelinski.

That's one reason why he doesn't allow free media and judiciary, and also why the EU is not keen to fund Hungary.

Considering the high number of Hungarian people who left the country to work abroad, this is rich! ????

It's not "me" personally, It's articles 252 and 253, which are quoted in the article. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/252 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/253 As about your law professor's statement, I cannot reply as I don't know the full statement in context. It's only a short quote, and truncated texts or statements have been regularly used by the right-wing to mislead people. I.e. for claiming that Pelosi called Trump a racist because of the Chinese travel ban. P.s. As far as I understand, this law professor was not commenting the Capitol events.

You would be more convincing if your posts were not full of fake news. For example Pelosi's husband did not buy chip shares before the company may receive subsidies, he sold them (at loss).

I already replied to you about it. According to articles 252 and 253, there is no need to have an insurrection declared for the President to call the N.G.

And pizzagate, don't forget pizzagate! ???? A further point is that the issue not only that most believers are right-wing, It's also that these conspiracy theories have been endorsed and willingly diffused by right-wing politicians, including a former president, congress members, WH aides, etc....

Who is "they"? What is your evidence that these people sided with protestors by opening gates for them?

Come on! Have you ever heard of something similar to the pizzagate, diffused by the left? Or the Big Lie? It's only on the right-wing that that it's happening.

How many Capitol staff "sided" with the protestors? How did they do it? Attack the other defenders?

To ensure a separation of powers, the U.S. Federal Government is made up of three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. To ensure the government is effective and citizens’ rights are protected, each branch has its own powers and responsibilities, including working with the other branches. https://www.house.gov/the-house-explained/branches-of-government#:~:text=The legislative branch is made,controls taxing and spending policies.

This is section 251 of the insurrection act. There are other sections: "Section 252 permits deploy­ment in order to “enforce the laws” of the United States or to “suppress rebel­lion” whenever “unlaw­ful obstruc­tions, combin­a­tions, or assemblages, or rebel­lion” make it “imprac­tic­able” to enforce federal law in that state by the “ordin­ary course of judi­cial proceed­ings.” Section 253 has two parts. The first allows the pres­id­ent to use the milit­ary in a state to suppress “any insur­rec­tion, domestic viol­ence, unlaw­ful combin­a­tion, or conspir­acy” that “so hinders the execu­tion of the laws” that any portion of the state’s inhab­it­ants are deprived of a consti­tu­tional right and state author­it­ies are unable or unwill­ing to protect that right. Pres­id­ents Dwight D. Eisen­hower and John F. Kennedy relied on this provi­sion to deploy troops to deseg­reg­ate schools in the South after the Supreme Court’s land­mark decision in Brown v. Board of Educa­tion. The second part of Section 253 permits the pres­id­ent to deploy troops to suppress “any insur­rec­tion, domestic viol­ence, unlaw­ful combin­a­tion, or conspir­acy” in a state that “opposes or obstructs the execu­tion of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws." https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/insurrection-act-explained The truth is that Trump did not want to call the N.G., not that he wasn't allowed to.

Ahem! Remind me who was the Commander in Chief?

Alex Jones, Roger Stone, and why the Jan. 6 committee getting their 'intimate messages' is more than just a joke on Twitter "But given both Jones and Stone's outsize roles in the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, getting the candid exchanges between the two election-fraud-conspiracy theorists is a huge development as the House Select Committee continues its work. The text messages could provide coveted evidence about Jones and Stone's roles in the attack on the Capitol." https://www.businessinsider.com/why-alex-jones-intimate-text-messages-to-roger-stone-matter-2022-8?r=US&IR=T

I must admit he's good at suckering his fans to fungi him.
