B.S! They have always employed the best economists in their research department, including a few Nobel prizes! ????

Some charts in the FT. https://www.ft.com/content/e44a1de1-a700-4384-8844-f26982d5c05c

And he's still trusting Putin more than U.S. intelligence services... “Remember in Helsinki when a 3rd rate reporter asked me, essentially, who I trusted more, President Putin of Russia, or our ‘Intelligence’ lowlifes[?]” wrote the former president on Truth Social in a Monday morning post. He continued: “My instinct at the time was that we had really bad people in the form of James Comey, McCabe (whose wife was being helped out by Crooked Hillary while Crooked was under investigation!), Brennan, Peter Strzok (whose wife is at the SEC) & his lover, Lisa Page. Now add McGonigal & other slime to the list. Who would you choose, Putin or these Misfits?” https://news.yahoo.com/trump-makes-shocking-comments-trusting-231949457.html

Exactly. It's just right-wing B.S. with doesn't pass the reality test. "Experts in psychology and child development said they are not aware of any evidence showing that increased exposure to LGBTQ people or topics makes children more likely to join the LGBTQ community. Instead, they said it is likely an environment of increased acceptance allows people to more openly consider whether they might be part of the LGBTQ community." https://www.politifact.com/article/2022/may/11/why-its-not-grooming-what-research-says-about-gend/ As to sexual abuse and grooming, statistics also don't support the right-wing claims. https://www.d2l.org/wpcontent/uploads/2017/01/all_statistics_20150619.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwim3t3c7_D8AhXiXqQEHRbwDgEQFnoECCoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1soXkA9WaCw1qgTLHoI9WA https://www.nationalchildrensalliance.org/media-room/national-statistics-on-child-abuse/

Well, It's actually scuds launched by his Tory mates which hit him badly! ????

Exactly, they are making up fake issues: children are indoctrinated, children are groomed, porn books or third reich propagande should not be found in classroom libraries, and similar B.S..

I must admit that right-wingers have an impressive ability to make up things! They surely don't need any book for that! ????

We can at least agree on your last sentence. Moreover, even if he doesn't win the primaries, he will not accept to lose (as usual), and will torpedo the winner. He's a blessing for the Dems.

Of course, It's Biden's fault and not the GOP cowardly accepting Trump's domination, to the point of supporting or condoning the Big Lie! ????

It's a bit more complex and should not be over-simplified on both sides. If the targets are civilians, it is terrorism and should not be legitimized. The comparison with the French is not relevant as they usually targeted the German military or infrastructure. Having said that, Israel is also prompt to qualify as terrorism any armed opposition, without making any distinction. As about the recent events, when you have, for example, a 13 years old boy as perpetrator, it shows how the situation is really <deleted> up.

Exactly. They are either unaware of it, or full hypocrites. High School students have been accessing all types of porn for years without their parents being able to control anything, as they can do it from their mobile phone. They are also getting any type of unchecked information on social network, sing the lyrics of rap songs, etc... In this context, banning books is so square

The alternate reality is you claiming that some people are claiming that all books have been banned

The usual right wing alternate reality.

Palestinian This policy has been applied for decades and never stopped violence. That's a fact, not a guess. BTW, who are these "Palestians" who rationally decide whether there will be more or less mass murdering?

Yet it never worked to reduce violence, for years and years. Making Palestinians more enraged is even likely to increase it. Actually, it never worked anywhere. History shows that whenever an occupier resorted to collective punishment for individual acts of terrorism (or whatever one may call them), the effect was usually to increase the opposition from the local population.

The irony being that Russia was the main cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991, after it declared its independence from the Union in June 1991. Of course, the other members followed the example of Russia and did the same, such as Ukraine in August 1991.

And hear we go! Settlements are the main cause of Palestinian ire, and Netanyahu's response is to strengthen settlements. Years of muscle flexing by Sharon and Netanyahu have never stopped attacks and have only aggravated the problem. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results..... https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/29/middleeast/israel-attacks-settlements-strengthened-netanyahu-intl-hnk/index.html

Even if Sussman had been convicted of lying, it still would not have confirmed Trump's conspiracy theory. Two facts came up from testimonies during the trial, which are completely independent from the fact that Sussman was convicted or not: - the FBI dismissed the information brought by Sussman as not reliable, and did not use it, - the FBI made the decision to investigate links between Russia and the Trump campaign before Sussman gave them the Alfa bank information Actually, this trial contributed to debunk Trump's narrative.

And what did she do exactly? She authozed the leaking of information to the press. Which your carefully selected quote fails to make clear.

Lol! The Durham probe actually debunked Trump's conspiracy theory

Calling It a peace accord is purely cosmetic, and it surely did not bring peace in the region.

Right. All their conspiracy theories failed: DePape has been invited, Pelosi is gay and DePape is his lover, they were both wearing underwear, DePape is left-wing, etc.. Now they are pathetically clutching at a door opening.

Accords between non enemies are welcomed, but cannot be called peace deals.

Why Merrick Garland Should Fire Special Counsel Durham Now "But it is not Durham’s losses and lack of deliverables that make his tenure untenable. After all, prosecutors should be unafraid to try tough cases and lose them. No, the problem with Durham is that his assignment arose from Barr’s efforts to undermine the Russia probe to aid Trump, and Durham compounded that unethical origin with his own unethical actions." https://news.yahoo.com/why-merrick-garland-fire-special-222616757.html

Do I understand well? He apologized for missing his targets?
