Classified documents from Biden’s time as VP discovered in private office
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
A wilfully misleading post 1. The quote has been taken out of context. It doesn't mean what you claim it means https://apnews.com/article/biden-politics-united-states-government-wilmington-merrick-garland-f2384a87dcddbd38796f63e1269c6baf 2. The "60 minutes" interview occurred in September, the documents were found in November. -
Ukraine war: Germany yet to make decision on sending tanks
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
If European countries want to send Leopard tanks, it must be worth it, i.e. together send 200 or 300 tanks. If It's just about sending 50 tanks, It's not worth the trouble for Germany. -

Ok but there are also many Americans who want this to end, but they are held hostage by the gun lobby, gun-friendly morons, crooked politicians, and a conservative biased supreme court. -

Jews are usually against racism and discriminations, whoever is concerned, because they have suffered from it in the past. They also know they may well be the next target. A good example is the case of white supremacists who were mainly anti-black and recently also turned antisemitic. -
I never said that all wars were just. I said that the weapon industry is always making profits, independently from the fact that a particular war may be just or not. There's not necessarily a causal link. A better example you could have evoked is the war in Irak. It was based on lies and some key actors (ex. Dick Cheney) were obviously compromised with the militaro-industrial complex. It's completely different from the Ukraine case. Actually, several people and countries who are now supporting Ukraine, were against the war in Irak (in particular in Europe, I.e. France)

Classified documents from Biden’s time as VP discovered in private office
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
We'll see what comes up from the investigation. The law specifies: "knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials". I doubt having a few classified documents scattered here and there can be used to accuse him of such intent! https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1924 BTW my personal opinion has always been that Biden is too old for a second mandate (provided another good candidate can be found, of course). -

What I indirectly evoked, in case you did not get it: he cannot be accused of obstruction, unlike the guy who should not be named. -

Right, But a few documents can easily be lost or forgotten. -
George Santos took $3,000 from dying dog’s GoFundMe, veterans say

It's very easy to understand. They are ready to do and say anything, including lying and cheating, including campaigning against their sexual orientation, etc.... in order to succeed! -

Right! Six documents! So the total number of documents found is what? 26? Note the full-cooperation demonstrated (very different from the behaviour of who shall not be named): "The FBI found more classified documents at the Wilmington, Delaware, home of President Joe Biden during a consensual search Friday that lasted nearly 13 hours, his personal lawyer and a prosecutor said Saturday evening" https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/21/search-of-bidens-home-by-doj-finds-6-more-classified-documents.html -

Ukraine war: Russia's Wagner Group commander requests Norway asylum

Are you serious? You don't see the difference between media which are censored (and state controlled on top of it), and media which independence is protected by law? Really? -

They don't dare to go after Putin or the Russian army, so they chose this indirect way. -

Actually, the group even operates beyond the law in Russia, where private military contractors are officially forbidden. -

It would be an interesting suggestion if it didn't already exist. Latin America history has been taught for years. Including Florida https://www.cpalms.org/PreviewCourse/Preview/594 -
US hits debt ceiling, prompting Treasury to take extraordinary measures
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
Actually, the source you used (The Balance), calculates the debt increase per president differently. They use the federal fiscal year, as each president is starting with a budget which has been voted under the previous president. Quote: "For example, President Donald Trump took office in January 2017. He submitted his first budget in May. It covered the 2018 fiscal year, which didn't begin until October 1, 2017. Trump operated the first part of his term under President Barack Obama's budget for fiscal year 2017, which ended on Sept. 30, 2017." Using fiscal years ( what has been voted under each president) shows a different picture: Obama's last mandate: FY 2017: $671 billion FY 2016: $1.42 trillion FY 2015: $326 billion FY 2014: $1.09 trillion Trump mandate: FY 2021: $1.5 trillion FY 2020: $4.2 trillion FY 2019: $1.2 trillion FY 2018: $1.3 trillion So for Obama's last mandate, the average debt increase per year is 876 billion, and for Trump's first two FY, the average is 1250 billion. That's 42% higher than Obama's last mandate. https://www.thebalancemoney.com/us-debt-by-president-by-dollar-and-percent-3306296 -
House Republicans investigate Biden document discoveries
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
And the MAGA fans will complain about it, after loudly calling for the DOJ to open an investigation into Biden. They already started to complain about the nomination of s special counsel on this forum. -

Nice to see that the DOJ and the FBI are doing their job. No double standards!
