You should read the news more carefully. It's Musk having a tantrum, not the NYT

Nice fairy tale!

He was convicted for obstructing an official proceeding. Isn't it what he did?

The only accurate statement is the one about war crimes (to some extent). - Accounting error: not can error - Hundreds of crimes: not true, and irrelevant as Hunter is not a politician. And there is not much incriminating matter in the laptop. - Arrest with just a testimony from a prostitute: also not true.

Are you unaware you are posting B.S. or are just desperately trying to score points?

Nobody denied the ability of the conman to harvest his dum fan base! Back to topic.... 72% think Trump did something at least unethical. https://www.foxnews.com/official-polls/fox-news-poll-4-in-10-think-both-donald-trump-hunter-biden-broke-law

And the reason is well-known! Quotes From the article: "The life expectancy of Russian males aged 15 is currently at the same level as those in Haiti." "Meanwhile in 2021, there were approximately 1.04 million more deaths than births recorded in Russia, according to Statistica." https://healthpolicy-watch.news/russia-population-drop/

More fun! This is going to be good! ???? Trump Rages at Hush-Money Indictment in Misspelled Truth Social Rant https://news.yahoo.com/trump-rages-hush-money-indictment-225830404.html

Apart from the fact that this so-called promise has never been officially made, you forgot two important dates: - June 12th, 1991, the Russian Federation declares its independence from the Soviet Union - December 31st, 1991, dissolution of the Soviet Union. So a promise not really made, to an entity which has been dissolved since (and that Russia left before, De facto triggering its dissolution).

Come on! It would be much less funny without handcuff!

Actually, it was billions. So about 1000 times what Hunter received. That's a reasonable amount for corruption at the WH level. The MAGA folks don't even realise that a few millions are absolutely peanuts and not worth becoming corrupt for it

The case was buried although it seemed to be the ideal occasion to nail Thaksin. For example, don't you know who asked him to do it?

Unfortunately, the old elite network and its components (the judiciary, the army, the Dems) never really investigated it (apart from a few minor cases), and closed the case. There must be a reason! And it was surely not in order to protect Thaksin.

The red shirts have been created in reaction to the yellow shirts. That's fact. No yellow shirts, no red shirts.

The BRICS are not constituting an alliance and may have diverging or even conflicting interests (ex. India and China). Moreover, because of Putin's incompetence and corruption, Russia is an economic dwarf. The BRICS make most of their trade with NATO countries and their allies (SK, Japan, OZ,)

Meanwhile....

It's pathetic that we already discussed it extensively long time ago, and some people still come up with the same election fraud B.S. It's hopeless.....

Who is "they"?

The least but not the last one.....????

Are you sure the scrapped missile defense program would have been better than the one implemented by Obama? https://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/11/politics/nato-missile-defense-romania-poland/index.html

1. It doesn't matter. That's what he said at the time of the annexion. After he became President, he also initially did not rule out recognising the annexion. 2. It was a big mistake, as I wrote before.

Obama has been too cautious about Russia and did not perceive the extent of the threat. It was a big mistake. At least, unlike Trump, he did not approve the invasion of Crimea. "Within weeks, Trump praised Putin for how he handled the takeover of Crimea and predicted that “the rest of Ukraine will fall … fairly quickly.” Echoing Kremlin propaganda, Trump said in a TV interview that the Crimean people “would rather be with Russia,” a position he also pushed in private. One of his 2016 campaign aides falsely claimed that “Russia did not seize Crimea.” https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/26/politics/trump-putin-ukraine/index.html

I did not inject anything, It's the reality, starting with this thread: MTG sent these tweets because she is (rather extreme) right-wing. So when someone (in this case a right-wing nutter) is ostracizing a particular group with a lame accusation, people who desagree should just shut up? Is that what you think? When one side is pushing for anti-gun laws and the other side does the opposite (in particular in Tennessee where Republicans passed a law in 2021 allowing people to carry a handgun, openly or concealed without a permit), It's not about politics? It would be better to have a bipartisan consensus for a tight gun control (and ban of some weapons). However, it's always the same side which opposes it.

I agree with your conclusion and fully support gun control. What I disagree about is that you seem to suggest that both sides are equally at fault. It's not the left-wing which pointed at the alleged trans factor and sent incendiary tweets. Had the right-wing not done it in the first place, nobody would have talked about it. Starting with this thread: there would be no thread. Moreover, directing the ire of public opinion towards any particular group (trans or others: jews, blacks, muslims, etc...) is usually not without consequences and may incite violence.

Of course, MTG will never point at the main source of terrorism (and in particular killings) because It's her friends! "Most violent far-right perpetrators were motivated by white supremacist or anti-government sentiments, and they committed most of the fatal attacks in 2021. Of the 30 fatalities in 2021, 28 resulted from far-right terrorist attacks." https://www.csis.org/analysis/pushed-extremes-domestic-terrorism-amid-polarization-and-protest
