And some conservatives feel worried about it! ???? Trump 2024 launch before November midterm elections could become a problem for GOP https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/trump-2024-launch-november-midterm-problem-gop

And Trump is going to help the Democrats on this matter: ???? Trump told allies he's considering announcing 2024 presidential bid early, sources say https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-2024-presidential-campaign/

Grab them by the .. ahem! ????.

What a dumb bitch! "Marjorie Taylor Greene baselessly claims Highland Park shooting was caused by antidepressants" https://news.yahoo.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-baselessly-claims-143256984.html

For the reason I just explained. By accusing Ukraine (rightly or not), the Russian government hopes to rally Russian public opinion for this war. The main distinctive advantage of Ukraine is that it's soldiers are motivated because they feel they defend their country. Russian soldiers don't. On top of it, Putin would use it to justify committing more atrocious killings.

Striking Russia would likely increase the support for this war by the Russian people. A support which is currently rather low (I.e. Russian soldiers were obviously not very motivated).

The Russian government obviously does not think it will be over in 4-6 weeks....

Point of view is not the same as facts. The war in Donbas has been extensively investigated, including by HRW, and there was nothing which could be qualified as "genocide".

Where would the Russians line be without the U.S. and others helping Ukraine?

Haven't you noticed how young people were talking nowadays? Anyway, the Trumpworld shows again it doesn't care about being incoherent! ???? First, Trump accused her of being motivated by angryness (because he allegedly did not hire her again). Then, she was suspected to be motivated by greed, in order to get a very well paid job after that. And now they complain she was not motivated at all! ???? Completely incoherent! She was not keen to testify, she was feeling uneasy about it, what's wrong with it? She was not eager to testify against Trump, how can it mean that she was lying? She had no motivation for lying! That's again completely incoherent!

Every decision is the outcome of several issues. Let's not forget to factor in the economic and demographic issues. The Russian population has been declining for years (less one million in 2021) and Russia is (relatively) an economic dwarf. The Eastern provinces would be a useful addition to Russia.

Hogan is Republican! ????

It's because he has no other argument.

Storm in teacup.....

Yes, inflation is higher now but Biden is not responsible for the global energy prices and global supply problems (just as Trump was not responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic). The unemployment rate is more interesting. Trump inherited an economy which had enjoyed steady growth for years, while Biden inherited the post-Covid economy. Two facts may be outlined: - the U.S. has quickly created a record number of jobs under Biden and the unemployment is now in the same range as pre-Covid. - the rate of unemployment decrease under Trump (pre-Covid) was better during Obama's last term. Despite Trump increasing debt and budget deficit thanks to tax cuts. You are right about energy independence. However, the increase in energy production (and the related decrease of imports) did not start with Trump. Actually there was more progress made during Obama's tenure. "U.S. net imports have been declining since 2005 as a result of hydraulic fracturing. That year, U.S. net imports of petroleum and petroleum products (e.g., gasoline, diesel, jet fuel) averaged 12.5 million barrels per day (BPD). By the time President Obama left office, the number had declined to 4.8 million BPD (Source). During Obama’s last full month in office, the number was 4.2 million BPD." https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2022/03/08/surprise-the-us-is-still-energy-independent/?sh=b7b30d230b66

Ok let's phrase it differently. It's a MAGA lame argument.

Which assault? Another lame MAGA propaganda argument! Voices: Republicans wanted another January 6 after Roe v Wade was overturned. They didn’t get it ???? "They desperately want to create a moral equivalency between any violence that might be committed in the wake of the overturning of Roe v Wade — none of which has so far included riots, injuries or deaths — and the insurrection on January 6, during which multiple people were injured and died. Conservatives desperately want to draw a parallel because doing so would lead the public to believe that the violence on January 6 and the attempts to steal the presidency that preceded it are not unique to the American right’s bloodlust" https://news.yahoo.com/voices-republicans-wanted-another-january-212137813.html

Just read U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil's opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox's lawyers: The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' " ???? She wrote: "Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes." ???????????????????? https://www.npr.org/2020/09/29/917747123/you-literally-cant-believe-the-facts-tucker-carlson-tells-you-so-say-fox-s-lawye

It could be explained by the fact that these media are more "normal media" than left-wing propaganda media and therefore are able to meet a broader audience.

Isn't the U.S. civil war taught at school? How can it be taught without explanations about slavery?

"Incidentally chained", "inadvertently whipped"........

Come om! I don't know how many people have been killed, but It's well known that the British, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Belgian, Italian etc... colonial empires have been established and maintained based on killings and oppression. There has been some positive impact in terms of education, infrastructure or institutions, but it cannot be said that autochtones were happy to be colonised.

Same for the so-called liberal biased social media such as Facebook or Twitter. The most viewed are Fox News hosts.

And the source of the report is? "Overall, we rate the Crime Prevention Research Center Right Biased based on strongly advocating for guns and the conservative agenda. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting based on a few failed fact checks." https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/crime-prevention-research-center/
