  1. And it's not as if most country politicians hadn't any military experience! Oh wait!
  2. Joe Biden lied about the value of his properties? I didn't know that! ????
  3. Never heard of Derkach? ???? Trump's personal attorney Giuliani meets with Ukrainian MP Derkach in Kyiv (Photo) They discussed the creation of an inter-parliamentary group, 'Friends of Ukraine STOP Corruption.' https://www.unian.info/politics/10782149-trump-s-personal-attorney-giuliani-meets-with-ukrainian-mp-derkach-in-kyiv-photo.html Treasury sanctions Ukrainian lawmaker who met with Giuliani to smear Biden Andriy Derkach, a pro-Russian Ukrainian, has promoted discredited allegations against the Democratic presidential nominee. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/10/treasury-designates-anti-biden-ukrainian-lawmaker-for-sanctions-for-election-interference-411750 Zelenskiy Strips Citizenship Of Four Ukrainian Lawmakers, Including Putin Friend Medvedchuk Derkach has been a Ukrainian legislator for more than two decades, but investigators believe he received more than half a million dollars from Russian law enforcement and intelligence agencies "for subversive activities against Ukraine during 2019-2022." He has not attended a parliamentary session since February. Medvedchuk, a longtime Ukrainian political fixture to whose daughter Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly godfather, was detained in April and handed over to Russia in a prisoner exchange in September. https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-citizenship-medvedchuk-derkach/32218343.html
  4. Giuliani lied on behalf of Trump! ????
  5. One of the main issue is the Senate, its role, and most of all how it is selected. - 1997: elected - 2007: half elected, half appointed by the yellow-green establishment, - 2017: 100% appointed by the yellow-green establishment, - 2024? It is highly critical for the establishment. It has already lost most of its popular support, so if it loses the ability to control the Senate, It would be a major loss of political power. Not to mention that, as the Senate is involved in the selection of agency members an judges, it may also progressively lose its grip on them too. They will fight like hell to keep some power.
  6. Politically motivated? Do you think that in any other western country, a President or PM putting pressure on officials to find 11,780 votes (on top of his aides and lawyers organizing fake electors lists and computer system breach) would not have been indicted (on top of having been fired from his own party)?
  7. No tears for McCarthy ???? "I wasn't sure it was going to pass," he remarked. "You want to know why? Because the Democrats tried to do everything they can not to let it pass." Brennan responded with laughter. "Democrats were the ones who voted for this in a larger number than Republicans to keep the continuing resolution alive," she said. "Did you watch the floor yesterday?" McCarthy asked. "Yes," Brennan replied. "Ninety Republicans voted against it." https://www.rawstory.com/kevin-mccarthy-shutdown/
  8. I think no one is interested in him as an outlet, for not being able to find anything on his father.
  9. Reply 2: Not Trump's DOJ? Well , I was just parodising the right-wing. Not his DOJ then, nor Biden's DOJ now either. But certainly not anti-Trump at that time as they were led by a Republican, at both the DOJ and the FBI. Here are a few example of not being against Trump Justice Department backed Trump strong-arm of House impeachment probe https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/21/justice-department-backed-trump-strongarm-house-impeachment-probe-101333 Judge Slams Barr for ‘Misleading’ on Mueller Report https://www.courthousenews.com/judge-slams-barr-for-misleading-on-mueller-report/
  10. The response to your other theory is that the number of reports is probably linked (in all States) to: - the fact that robbers are seldom arrested (you made this claim about Texas), - the possibility of having their insurance pay for it. In most cases, insurances companies may only pay for theft in case of property breach. Most retail linkage or theft probably don't fall into this category. For these reasons (among others such as lack of time, etc...) It is likely that only thefts above a certain amount are reported in both States.
  11. Of course, there are always research limitations.Yet you don't have any data to contradict it. As mentioned by Heybruce, there is also a very logical explanation: if you are an illegal immigrant, the last thing you want is to be stupidly caught for shoplifting. About your last claim, it is a peer-reviewed article, it was financed by a grant from Trump's DOJ. In 2019 and published in 2020.
  12. As usual.... Illegal immigrants commit less crimes in Texas than born citizen Quote: We make use of uniquely comprehensive arrest data from the Texas Department of Public Safety to compare the criminality of undocumented immigrants to legal immigrants and native-born US citizens between 2012 and 2018. We find that undocumented immigrants have substantially lower crime rates than native-born citizens and legal immigrants across a range of felony offenses. https://www.ojp.gov/library/publications/comparing-crime-rates-between-undocumented-immigrants-legal-immigrants-and
  13. Wow! Kelly is not tender with Trump! ???? “What can I add that has not already been said?” Kelly said, when asked if he wanted to weigh in on his former boss in light of recent comments made by other former Trump officials. “A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ Exclusive: John Kelly goes on the record to confirm several disturbing stories about Trump https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/02/politics/john-kelly-donald-trump-us-service-members-veterans/index.html
  14. Lol! You carefully avoided to mention who was "he"! It was Putin! Quote "He has indeed interfered in our elections in the past," Psaki said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin Thete's no doubt that there was Russian interference. Confirmed by the FBI, and also by the GOP Senate committee!
  15. Employees are one of the major store shrinkage source. So they should shoot at each other too? ????
  16. Interesting article. Gun-friendly Texas is on top and California is not even among the highest larceny cases. https://www.statista.com/statistics/232542/larceny-thefts-reported-in-the-us-by-state/
  17. As mentioned several times, they changed the calculation methods. On top of it, UK GDP growth was -0.5% in July. So + 0.3% in Q1, + 0.2% In Q2, - 0.5% In July=?. Also from your source: "Sandra Horsfield, of the investment bank Investec, said: “We see little in today’s numbers to derail our expectation of a more challenging growth picture ahead: we continue to forecast that the UK economy will enter a recession over the winter months.” Ruth Gregory, the deputy chief UK economist at Capital Economics, said: “We still think that higher interest rates will trigger a mild recession involving a 0.5% fall in GDP in the coming quarters.”
  18. As usual... Can you point out where she saidvelevtions have been stolen? https://www.foxnews.com/media/hillary-clinton-warns-potential-election-interference-2024-hell-do-it-again
  19. I hope for you that you are aware it's Russian propaganda and you do it on purpose, rather than naively diffuse it
  20. As usual..... Justice Department backed Trump strong-arm of House impeachment probe https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/21/justice-department-backed-trump-strongarm-house-impeachment-probe-101333
  21. The man has integrity? Really? He accepted to be the puppet of the yellow green network and consistently followed instructions given to him (ex. make sure Prayut would be nominated as army chief in September 2010, at all costs). He also participated in the orchestration leading to the 2014 coup. He disclosed a sense of integrity only after he sourly found out that the Junta would directly govern, without any key role for him.
  22. It's Putin who has been warmongering for years instead of developing the economy of his country and improving the well-being of its citizen. The great Russia! What a joke! The GDP (mainly thanks to energy and minerals) of Spain or Italy and the life expectancy of Haiti.
  23. So people having robbed, say 100 bucks, should be shot. Then, what should deserve people, who have robbed millions with fraudulent charity and fraudulent University and tax fraud? Breaking on the wheel?
