  1. Why is it that MAGA fans seem to prefer corrupt politicians? https://www.salon.com/2022/03/29/a-stunning-portrait-of-political-corruption-exactly-how-joe-manchin-made-millions-from-coal/ https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/27/climate/manchin-coal-climate-conflicts.html
  2. Gag! Adam Schiff Gets John Durham to Admit Russia Helped Trump https://news.yahoo.com/adam-schiff-gets-john-durham-204247109.html "When Republicans brought Special Counsel John Durham to the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, they thought it’d be an opportunity to score points on Democrats—particularly Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who spent years hyping up Donald Trump’s connections to Russia. What they got instead was a viral moment when Schiff got Durham—the man tasked with concluding whether the FBI’s investigation of Russia’s connections to the 2016 Trump campaign was appropriate—took Durham to task."
  3. Because MAGA fans are claiming it's a case of double standards.
  4. Going after the deep State! Sure!???? Except the oil industry deep State, the big pharma deep State, the NRA deep Statet, the real-estate deep State, the rich who got tax cuts deep State..... not to mention the Evangelist deep State, the Catholic deep State, etc...
  5. On top of it, what could also not happen is a House committee investigating a private citizen for a few miserable millions, while looking the other way when a Presidents business, or when government officials (who could be, for example, members of the President's familly) received sums that are 1000 times higher (from Sharia abiding countries who used to finance terrorism).
  6. Why a notional disgrace? There was no big crime or offense. Of course, it would be a national disgrace if people were considering that a Presidents family would be like a royal family. You know, the kind of families in which children and other family members are appointed to very high positions because of birth. That couldn't happen in a Presidential regime! Oh wait! .......
  7. It has evidence? That would be a scoop! Which evidence?
  8. That's why I asked this question. The article is actually a good discussion as to why the GOP could be called fascist.
  9. Good news! Now it's clear! So no conspiracy theories any more! Ahem! Not so sure....
  10. So he could bragg about having the power to press the button while he was president!
  11. Was it allowed under previous laws to have books with pornographic images in school libraries or was it illegal? I mean there are already laws banning the distribution of pornographic material to minors, straight or gay. So it seems it was already illegal to give access to this book to minors. Ex. "Federal law strictly prohibits the distribution of obscene matter to minors. Any transfer or attempt to transfer such material to a minor under the age of 16, including over the Internet, is punishable under federal law. It is also illegal to use misleading website domain names with intent to deceive a minor into viewing harmful or obscene material. For example, using a cartoon character or children´s television program in the domain of a website that contains harmful or obscene material may be punishable under federal law. In addition, visual representations, such as drawings, cartoons, or paintings that appear to depict minors engaged in sexual activity and are obscene are also illegal under federal law." https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/obscenity
  12. Good article. Thanks! Have you really read it?
  13. Such as economic growth, record low unemployment, energy production and export, infrastructure, industrial renewal, semi-conductors, green energy, Ukraine,etc...
  14. It was surely chaotic. One reason being that there was no particular project apart from leaving. There was a wide range of options and it seems that May tried something 'in the middle', but even in the middle there were different possible variants.
  15. It is far from obvious that a "tougher stance" would have led to a better deal.
  16. Yet, Giuliani claimed he brought this information. https://www.salon.com/2023/06/16/suspicious-circumstances-giuliani-now-claims-witness-behind-biden-bribery-allegation-is/ Who should be believe? Comer or Giuliani? Difficult to decide about it, as they are both proven liar!
  17. You may be right, as it would obviously not be the first time Trump talked B.S. However, it has nothing to do with the fact that the investigation may be political or not.
  18. You know Thai people well! ????
  19. Sure! Have you noticed the trend since 2016? https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=GBP&to=USD&view=10Y
  20. Exactly! It's ridiculous to think that one can corrupt a VP with a few miserable million dollars. Even for a plain envoy like Kushner, the price is already by billion!
  21. This will be interpreted as a significant sign by some Thai people.
  22. So, as usual, when Brexiters complain about EU laws, they are not able to cite any to substantiate their came.
