DeSantis’s request for COVID vaccine probe denounced by health experts
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
Do you think this issue has not been investigated by scientists? That a politically motivated show will bring up any new reliable knowledge about it? -
Trump calls for the termination of the Constitution in Truth Social post
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
The most stupid are probably the ones who voted for her. -
It was obvious to anyone with a brain. However, Brexit is an act of faith and no rational argument may matter.

It's a lie. It has already been pointed out to you, and you knowingly repeat the same lie. Posting it over and over will not make it true. The report doesn't ommit this fact. Posting on his social media site, Trump called the report “highly partisan” and falsely claimed it didn’t include his statement on January 6 that his supporters should protest “peacefully and patriotically.” The committee did include that statement, though, and noted that he followed that comment with election falsehoods and charged language exhorting the crowd to “fight like hell.” https://www.euronews.com/2022/12/23/house-committee-report-says-donald-trump-lit-the-fire-of-capitol-riots

A good highlight of key points in the report Jan. 6 report says Trump floated plan for 10,000 troops to protect him - recap of findings https://news.yahoo.com/jan-6-committees-final-report-134753140.html In particular: "Two days before the Jan. 6 assault, then-President Donald Trump persisted in his desire to accompany demonstrators on a march to the Capitol, suggesting that 10,000 National Guard troops could provide protection for him and an entourage. According to the committee, White House Senior Advisor Max Miller “shot it down immediately” out of concern for Trump’s safety, indicating that there was no additional conversation about the National Guard protection plan. “Just glad we killed the national guard and a procession,” Miller later texted to Trump aide Katrina Pierson. The episode stands out, as there is no evidence that Trump ever called on the National Guard to put down the eventual riot at the Capitol, contributing to the long-delayed military response to the violent assault"

Lol! The GOP report! While it is true that Trump evoked sending national guards to the protest, he never made a formal request (testimony linked in my post to which you never replied). Moreover, according to the Miller, it was to protect protesters, not the Capitol (linked in Heybruce's post to which you did not reply). As concerns Pelosi, she is not in charge of the Capitol police (links in a previous post, idem). She has a vague supervision role, and McConnell has exactly the same role on an equal level (strange, only Pelosi is mentioned by the right-wing). Pelosi never turned down any request for national guards. There is no proof of it, including in the linked article. It seems you are keen to ignore facts brought to you when they don't fit your propaganda narrative.

He's also lying about that: Posting on his social media site, Trump called the report “highly partisan” and falsely claimed it didn’t include his statement on January 6 that his supporters should protest “peacefully and patriotically.” The committee did include that statement, though, and noted that he followed that comment with election falsehoods and charged language exhorting the crowd to “fight like hell.” https://www.euronews.com/2022/12/23/house-committee-report-says-donald-trump-lit-the-fire-of-capitol-riots If you want to see key facts ommitted, read the GOP report, not the committee report.

And as usual: lies. Trump did not sign an order to deploy 20,000 troops on Jan. 6 https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-trump-order-national-guard-156055113284 Trump did not have 10,000 troops ready to deploy on Jan. 6, his defense secretary says https://www.cbsnews.com/news/january-6-trump-did-not-have-10000-national-guard-troops-ready/#app Fact check: Trump repeats false claim that Pelosi rejected request for National Guard ahead of Jan. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/12/16/fact-check-no-trump-request-10000-guard-troops-jan-6/8929215002/ Fact check: Nancy Pelosi wasn't ‘in charge’ of Capitol Police on Jan. 6 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/07/27/fact-check-nancy-pelosi-isnt-in-charge-capitol-police/8082088002/

It's a challenging idea but doesn't fit the economic reality. Trade between these countries is not significant. They trade mainly with countries using the dollar or euro for trade. Ex trade between China and Russia weights peanuts.

In Europe, It's because most of them are unable to distinguish between being against Israel's policies re. Palestinians and anti-semistism. Anyway, it's not the type of anti-Semitism which is prevailing in the U.S.
-
Right. He's ready to do or say anything, as long as he thinks he can benefit from him. Trump is fully in tune with a part of the electorate. If he's using antisemitism, it means this is a popular topic among his target audience.

Could this corruption scandal signal the end of the EU ?
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
It was a reminder of the question I asked, following this assertion: "Seems all is not well at the EU. Corruption, dissent, recession, energy crisis. It's a good job there's no mechanism in place to remove the bigwigs or they'd be toast." Anyway, it doesn't really matter. -
An interesting articles which stresses of the realities of business, I.e. "On regulation, two-thirds of members said they would prefer to continue using the EU’s CE mark of product quality, instead of switching to the UK’s new post-Brexit equivalent, the UKCA."

It's not what I was discussing. -
Defense is not a prerogative of the EU, according to the treaties signed. There may be some initiatives if asked by Member States, not more.

Feds Are ‘Begging’ Congress to Stop Trump Donation Scam
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
Well, I surely don't expect the next GOP dominated House to stop the so-called scam PACs. -
*Deleted post edited out* The steering wheel story was fun and maybe not totally true. However, the fact that Trump was angry he could not be driven to the Capitol has been corroborated. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-jan6-secret-service-suv-b2248813.html Anyway, it was not the most important part of her testimony. Lots of it was not hearsay and/or was corroborated by others. In particular by Cipollone.
