  1. Right! And he grotesquely calls that 'executive time'! ???? Oops! It's a confusion, sorry!
  2. Well, you already got a reply about Tak bai from other posters. The reply about the war on drugs is that the full reply includes an element which cannot be discussed, and that's why the case has been buried by the yellow-green establishment.
  3. It's easy to get lost about Giuliani's connection in Ukraine, but the main issue is not Parnas and his pals, It's Derkach. Parnas was only a (crooked, how surprising) business associate of Giuliani. He tried to help Giuliani to find dirt on Biden, but was not a Russian operative. Derkach was a Russian operative, and It's him who fed Russian disinformation to Giuliani.
  4. According to the article linked by Placeholder, the document was brought by Giuliani and the information comes from Ukraine. Interestingly enough, Giuliani has been previously in contact with Russian operatives and has spread Russian disinformation before. For example, he was in contact with Derkach, who since had his nationality retrieved by Ukraine for being a Russian spy." Treasury Department says Ukrainian linked to Rudy Giuliani is 'Russian agent' https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/treasury-department-ukrainian-linked-rudy-giuliani-russian-agent/story?id=72942083 ( note that this news is from 1 September 2020, during the Trump administration) Other interesting information from the CNN article, is that Barr had this document reviewed and did not trust it.
  5. Exactly. We need to remain fair about them! ????
  6. Possible, so it may be during an event happening once a year in a limited number of places, event which he was very unlikely to attend. So how often has he (and you, as you cared to reply) been "subjected" to this sight, considering that it is unlikely that he (or you) would attend a gay pride. Let's say, since the end of the pandemic (there was no gay pride during the pandemic).
  7. Ahem, you are singling out one particular year, 2015, compared to 2014. Your first source shows that the crime rate has been fluctuating over time, sometimes increasing, sometimes decreasing. Moreover, 2014 was a very particular year. "After reaching a peak of 1,115 per 100,000 residents in 1992, California’s violent crime rate steadily fell, reaching a 50-year low of 392 in 2014." https://www.ppic.org/publication/crime-trends-in-california/ As to your second source, it also shows an increase in the US in 2015.
  8. Actually, It's not that bad for Comer. He will still be able to claim whatever he wants. We have the precedent of Jim Jordan who claimed the opposite of what Mike Morell actually testified.
  9. What a big problem! By curiosity, how often have you been "subjected" to this sight and where?
  10. Exactly. And in most Western countries, it is no perceived as a problem. All types of people watch LGBT prides, just as they watch carnival. Kids find it funny to see some men dressed as women and that's it.
  11. Trump claims he's 'at least as innocent' as Pence in classified document scandal ???? "Just announced that they are not going to bring charges against Mike Pence on the document hoax," Trump posted to Truth Social. "That’s great, but when am I going to be fully exonerated, I’m at least as innocent as he is. And what about [President] Joe Biden, who is hiding at least 1850 boxes, and some located in Chinatown, DC? When will the witch hunt against 'TRUMP' stop?" https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/trump-claims-innocent-as-pence-classified-document-scandal
  12. Exactly "The document will be brought to Capitol Hill on Monday, and Comer and Oversight Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) will be the only two members to view it in a SCIF, an ultra-secure room used for viewing highly classified information where technology is not permitted." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/fbi-document-top-oversight-members-viewing
  13. More fun! Exclusive: Trump attorneys haven’t found classified document former president referred to on tape following subpoena https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/02/politics/donald-trump-iran-subpoena/index.html
  14. On top of it, inflation has fallen slightly under 5% in April
  15. Yet old Joe cannot stop winning! "The U.S. added 339,000 jobs in May. It's a stunningly strong number" https://www.npr.org/2023/06/02/1179621886/jobs-employment-employers-labor-market-economy-recession-inflation?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=user%2Fnpr#:~:text=The U.S. added 339%2C000 jobs,a stunningly strong number %3A NPR&text=Press-,The U.S. added 339%2C000 jobs in May.,the Labor Department on Friday.
  16. It's funny in a way. However, I wonder what Hunter's lawyers will think about it.
  17. While we're at it. Poland could also give back the properties seized from the Jews.... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/01/anger-as-poland-plans-law-that-will-stop-jews-reclaiming-wartime-homes
  18. It's not only the judiciary and the Senate, It's nearly the whole bureaucracy. In Thailand, elected people have relatively little power on appointed people. The key problem is that, in order to get things done, the "intern" may need to compromise with them, and if he compromises, that mean he won't be able to fully apply his program. The only positive factor is that, from the election results in Bangkok, it seems that a significant part of the 'virtuous' component of the establishment has switched to MF.
  19. Protect what? Why isn't Comer going to have a look at the file as he's been invited to do?
  20. Right-wing gun fan's arguments for defending Hunter Biden! Eh eh!
  21. Alternatively, the police will use the files that it has on them, their family and their connections. The army tried to investigate the Thai police after the coup, as it was perceived as pro-Thaksin. Then the police arrested an army general for human trafficking. The message was well received by the army and the investigation into the police was terminated.
  22. On the one hand, increasing interests rate may lead to recession, one the other hand it tends to reduce inflation. Well, at least in the EU. "Inflation in Europe drops to lowest level since Russia invaded Ukraine" https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/01/economy/europe-inflation-drop-ukraine-war/index.html There is an obvious issue of fine tuning there.
  23. Some critics may not like it, but the public (you know, the people who actually pay to see a movie) seem to like it. More precisely: - it remains that the website has been massively trolled by right-wing racists, - a claim was made that live action remakes are not good for Dysney's business, and in particular the little mermaid. Fact is that the box office numbers are quite good for these movies, including the little mermaid. It shows it was a lame claim.
  24. There is a right-wing review bombing campaign which is exactly that: artificially influence the ratings in a negative ways. Rating should be written by people who have actually watched the movie, not by trolls. Every board, forum or website is applying measures to avoid being massively trolled. Meanwhile, the movie started quite well at the box-office, so it means people like it.
