Mike Lindell Throws a Tantrum After McCarthy Slips Riot Footage to Tucker
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
In a way he's right. The J6 footage has been given to a proven liar, so why not give it to Lindell who is even more a liar than Carlson? -
Donald Trump says officials 'indifferent' after Ohio train derailment
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
When asked during his visit about criticisms that he had rolled back rail safety standards, Trump replied, “I had nothing to do with that,” ???? https://news.yahoo.com/ntsb-crew-tried-to-stop-train-before-east-palestine-derailment-161726556.html -
And in the few cases people do so, they usually get caught. See examples in linked article: The Pattern of GOP Voter Fraud In case after case from 2020, it turns out that Republicans were the ones misbehaving at the ballot box. "On Tuesday, Donald Kirk Hartle, the CFO of a Nevada company that hosted a September 2020 rally for Donald Trump, pleaded guilty to voting twice in last November’s election, including once in his dead wife’s name. Hartle is just the latest in a string of apparent Trump supporters who committed voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election." https://www.thebulwark.com/the-pattern-of-gop-voter-fraud/

Nothing wrong but It's a personal. matter. Ot do young think that a dominantly Muslim county should be governed according to Muslim values or Chinatown according to Taoist values? -

Ukraine war: What support is China giving Russia?
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Not to mention that India has now a card to play in global production networks as Western companies want to reduce their dependence from India and avoid US bans, I.e. IPhone now starting being produced in India. -
Could this corruption scandal signal the end of the EU ?
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Your post gave me the idea to check. Actually it seems JonnyF was right to state that the EP scandal would have significant repercussions! ???? "LONDON — British MPs have defended taking gifts paid for by the Qatari government as a corruption scandal in Brussels shines the spotlight on lobbying by the country ahead of the World Cup. The Qatari government spent more than £260,000 in gifts, hospitality and travel on British MPs since October last year." https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-mps-defend-accepting-260000-in-qatari-gifts-before-world-cup/ -

Nice to see there is more transparency about MEP's sponsored trips. The list is provided in the Politico article. Hmmm... lots of suspect sponsors such as Harvard University, Nobel Peace Center, Czech Academy of Sciences, Confrérie des chevaliers du Tastevin......???? -
She's one of the Dem's best assets to win the next elections (after Trump, of course)! ????

Ukraine war: Russia must be defeated but not crushed, Macron says
candide replied to Scott's topic in The War in Ukraine
Don't forget it's a diplomatic statement made in a specific context. Putin's communication strategy is to claim being a victim of NATO aggression and Western imperialism, and he is relatively successful with it in a certain number of countries, particularly in some French-speaking countries in Africa. So it's obvious that he will not say anything which may give some substance to Putin's claim. Same for the other NATO countries, they will never say they want to help destroy or even just agress Russia (whatever they may think). -
Far-Right Election Denier Beats Trump’s Pick in Michigan
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
Trump is whatever he thinks may be useful to him. He started by identifying as a Democrat, then his conman instinct led him to change side. His problem is that, while courting the far-right allows him to own the GOP, it doesn't work well with moderate electors. -
US warns allies at Munich that China may increase support for Russia
candide replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
It's not that simple. China makes most of its trade with western countries and Russia's economy weights peanuts. 3% of China trade. -
Biden healthy, vigorous and fit for job, says doctor
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Most of which he inherited from Obama, and the economy was just following global trends ( in case you did not notice gas price and inflation are global). -
Biden healthy, vigorous and fit for job, says doctor
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Done nothing? Got the country out of an economic crisis, triggered continuous growth, reduced unemployment to historically low level, started to reduce inflation despite the world-wide inflation context, increase energetic independence and energy exports, unite NATO countries again... Not to mention in-depth work to secure strategic industry independence, to improve infrastructure and develop alternative energy sources. -
I think some of them believe what they are being served, but others just don't care what is true or not. They just think they can score a point against the other side. Anyway, most of them won't even know about it, as the right-wing media are mute about it. I made a quick check: nothing on Fow News website (of course), nothing on the NYPost website either, and not a line about it on the Washington Examiner website (which is sometimes a bit more informative than the other two). So someone who only looks at right-wing media won't even know about it.

Not much to add to what other posters said. They should have been more critical as there were credible dissenting voices at the international level. They diffused what was being served to them by the Bush administration. At that time, there was a climate of collective irrational craziness in the U.S. This is also long time ago and I guess some media have learned a lesson from it. It cannot be compared to more recent events such as the case in the OP.

Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
candide replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
It would be fair. However, I am not sure there is a legal framework allowing it. -

Not going on about him. About you making false claims that you have been drawn into talking about him.
