At that time, it looked like a Russian operation: an incredible story of a forgotten laptop, the involvement of Giuliani (known for his contacts with Russian operatives and spreading Russian misinformation), a copy given only to the biased NYPost and not to other media, no meta data provided, etc.... if I were a conspiracy theorist, I would think that Giuliani did it on purpose, so that it would look like a Russian operation! ????

They were all private citizen, so it was not illegal for them to do so. As to Radcliff, for reasons explained by Placeholder, he was Trumps puppet and not trusted. Yes, the laptop was sized by the FBI for the investigation into Hunter for financial matters. Is it common practice to disclose evidence used by a grand jury investigation? Or are you claiming that David Weiss, appointed by Trump and working for Trump's DOJ was covering up Biden? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/22/us/politics/hunter-biden-laptop.html

Really? Characterizing people who believe Trump's Big Lie as lemmings is rather moderate.

It's quite possible. My point is not that the food may not be good. My point is that few people in the world know Bulgarian or Serbian food. These countries are small and are not popular touristic destinations. It's very strange that they come up in the top ten ranking. It suggests either a strong unbalance in the composition of the sample of respondents, or a flawed poll.

In addition, recognized climate scientist can be identified by their diploma (at least a PhD in related subjects), their position (ex. tenure or direction of research teams), and their publications in high-ranked scientific journals.

It looks like this study, cited by Roquefort, stinks! ????

Spot on! ????

After reading that the worldwide top ten ranking includes 2 Bulgarian salads and one Serbian salad, I surely have no doubt about the representativeness of the sample of respondents! ????

They also control all the agencies and commissions, I.e. the NAAC. Even in case they cannot prevent PT from winning, they can use one the numerous mechanisms built in the constitution to oust it.

Latest updates on possible charges against Hunter "Now, he could be charged with “two misdemeanor counts for failure to file taxes, one felony count of tax evasion related to a business expense for one year of taxes,” and one potential felony charge regarding the 2018 gun purchase, according to the NBC News report, which cited two unnamed senior law enforcement sources." https://news.yahoo.com/report-authorities-weighed-charges-including-005505746.html

Like admitting the 2020 elections were not rigged?

It looks like Trump has chosen a winning team to defend him! From the OP article: "To defend against these charges, Trump has selected Joseph Tacopina as his lead lawyer. Tacopina is a rough-and-tumble brawler not known for his courtroom finesse or encyclopedic legal acumen." "The other half of Trump’s legal team is Alina Habba, a Florida attorney with little if any actual trial experience."

No corruption? You serious?

Also from the article "A final decision rests with US attorney for Delaware David Weiss, a Trump appointee who was kept on to oversee the case."

Nothing illegal with these payments. Hunter's lawyer already explained the payments. Comer has nothing. As to the CCP aspect, it was a private company. On top of it thousands of U.S. businesses make business with Chinese companies controlled by the government (=CCP). "State-owned enterprises accounted for over 60% of China's market capitalization in 2019[9] and generated 40% of China's GDP of US$15.97 trillion (101.36 trillion yuan) in 2020" "This principle creates a political governance system in China’s SOEs—a Party-dominated governance system characterized by Party leadership, state ownership, Party cadre management, Party participation in corporate decision-making, and intra-Party supervision." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-owned_enterprises_of_China Just a few of these companies... 3M Company A.O.

Trump remains silent on Fox’s Dominion lawsuit settlement ???? Mr Trump previously called on Fox to continue lying about the 2020 election https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-fox-news-dominion-settlement-b2322725.html

There are consequences.

Not sure. The army clique currently governing the country is not controlling the military any more. It would require the agreement of who you know, and It's far from certain he would agree to it. I would rather expect a judiciary coup, using the numerous mechanisms they put in the constitution to this aim.

I check on their website. Nothing on the front page. I had to use the search function to find a small uninformative 15 lines article. It doesn't even mention the amount paid. ???? https://www.foxnews.com/media/fox-news-media-dominion-voting-systems-reach-agreement-over-defamation-lawsuit

Yet, oceans are rising, It's a reality. It's not a question of debate between climate cultist and others. Oceans are rising and scientific studies predict it will rise more. There is a large variation in the outcome between the different studies, but the trend is clear. As to the example of Barack Obama's mansion, as usual, it is fake news. It seats well above sea level. But why let facts get in the way of a good climate denier story! ????

However, one has to be a nutter to conspire with Russia. Most people sharing the same feeling don't do that, and there are plenty of other ways to promote a cause without siding with Russia.

Pathetic! Comer is desperate because he has nothing, so he's making up.

He has provided links about it in previous posts. There's also one article linked in my post above this one. Good reading.

Confirmed by another analysis of more recent papers https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac2966 "Our results confirm, as has been found in numerous other previous studies of this question, that there is no significant scientific debate among experts about whether or not climate change is human-caused. This issue has been comprehensively settled, and the reality of ACC is no more in contention among scientists than is plate tectonics or evolution. The tiny number of papers that have been published during our time period which disagree with this overwhelming scientific consensus have had no discernible impact, presumably because they do not provide any convincing evidence to refute the hypothesis that—in the words of IPCC AR5—'it is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century' [12], and, most recently in IPCC AR6—'it is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land' [13]."

So if he provides a link, would you change your mind?
