Ron DeSantis exposes the pornography in school books
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
You seem to be quite knowledgeable about these books! ???? -
When the hearings were diffused on TV, I remember that the main MAGA channel (Fox News) refused to diffuse it, and also that MAGA posters on this forum were often claiming that they will never watch such a biased (according to them) investigation. Surprisingly enough, it seems that MAGA and/or right-wing posters now know exactly what has been shown (or not shown) during the committee hearings. ????

No. They told it before. From the linked NYPost article in my post, the event was described in the DOJ timeline: "The DOJ timeline confirmed that Robishaw followed Chansley into the chamber as the “Shaman” took the seat on the dais recently occupied by Vice President Mike Pence" As to the comments by the officer, they have been aired already in 2021 (quote from the same article): "In a statement Monday, the Capitol Police pointed The Post to comments by Robishaw in the 2021 HBO documentary “Four Hours at the Capitol.”

This more peaceful part doesn't exculp him from what he has been charged of. Additionally, it seems that Carlson omitted to mention the reason why the officers were so "peacefull" “The officer is then seen on video walking behind Chansley as Chansley walks into the Senate Chamber,” Capitol Police said. “Moments earlier our officers and agents had to evacuate the Senate Chamber, which was closed to the public, to rush elected officials and staffers to safety. After that, multiple people snuck into the Chamber. At any given time, the officer is outnumbered by more than 20 or more people. At this point, it is clear the officer is trying to get everyone out of the Chamber.” Capitol cops say they couldn’t get physical with rioters as new ‘QAnon Shaman’ video reveals hands-off approach https://nypost.com/2023/03/06/capitol-cops-say-they-couldnt-get-physical-with-rioters-as-new-qanon-shaman-video-reveals-hands-off-approach/

He was convicted by a court, not by The Jan.6 committee. Carlson has his "pants on fire"! ???? "However, Chansley’s signed plea agreement, an officer’s firsthand account of the events, and an internal memo from Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger all contradict Carlson’s claim that Capitol Police acted as Chansley’s Capitol "tour guides" Jan. 6." https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/mar/08/tucker-carlson/evidence-rebuts-tucker-carlsons-claim-about-capito/

Russia could run out of money next year, says oligarch Oleg Deripaska
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
A few years ago, I asked my friends in Romania what they thought about Russian people, and that was their reply (quoting more or less): "We like them individually, we like like to drink vodka with them, etc... but as a collectivity, we don't like them". That sums it up. Individually, they are friendly, but as a people they have always been imperialistic. Add to it an authoritarian regime, controlled media and lots of propaganda to maintain this state of mind. Add also to it that the government is corrupt and incompetent, has not been able to develop this country despite its very good natural and human resources, has not even been able to prevent its population from significantly decreasing, etc... so they need to play the nationalist card in order to distract attention from their incompetence. -
And the NYT did retract it. https://thepostmillennial.com/nyt-issues-correction-of-story-claiming-capitol-police-officer-bludgeoned-to-death-with-fire-extinguisher BTW, you just contradicted your previous claim that it was a peaceful visit! ????

Russia could run out of money next year, says oligarch Oleg Deripaska
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
Running out of money, and maybe also out of people... Russia’s population nightmare is going to get even worse A demographic tragedy is unfolding in Russia. Over the past three years the country has lost around 2m more people than it would ordinarily have done, as a result of war, disease and exodus. The life expectancy of Russian males aged 15 fell by almost five years, to the same level as in Haiti. The number of Russians born in April 2022 was no higher than it had been in the months of Hitler’s occupation. And because so many men of fighting age are dead or in exile, women outnumber men by at least 10m. https://www.economist.com/europe/2023/03/04/russias-population-nightmare-is-going-to-get-even-worse -

Michael Knowles Says Transgenderism Must Be ‘Eradicated’ at CPAC
candide replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Well, to start with, I am not convinced they speak out that much (well, at least in the U.S. it seems It's rather the anti-LGBT group speaking out). When they do, I guess It's because they are expressing their (relatively) new freedom and equal rights, sometimes mixed with provocation directed at those who are prejudiced against them). We had the same phenomenon in the past with other types of groups, for example the women (women's lib, etc...), or black people (I'm black, I'm proud). -

You haven't explained why you disagree with people "shouting" they are different (I don't see many people shouting, but never mind). Which problem does it generate. Are people harassed by other people shouting their difference at every street's corner? -

Russia could run out of money next year, says oligarch Oleg Deripaska
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
It's not as high as the U.S. still significant. Over 2022, the US led the way with major support decisions for Ukraine, with EU countries following with some delay and overtaking the US in the meantime with their total commitments. With additional data now collected (November 21 to January 15), the US again takes the lead. With additional pledges of nearly 37 billion euros in December, the Americans have earmarked a total of just over 73.1 billion euros for Ukraine support. For the EU, the comparable figure is 54.9 billion euros. https://www.ifw-kiel.de/publications/media-information/2023/one-year-of-support-to-ukraine-us-leads-eu-follows/ -

Judiciary Democrats go after GOP ‘whistleblowers’ in FBI probes
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
You are confusing two things, the media leak and the FBI investigation. It has been mentioned to you several times, so you may well do it intentionally. According to the testimony, Hillary Clinton approved leaking the Alfa Bank information to the media. The media is not the FBI. However, the trial has shown that the FBI rejected this information as not reliable and did not use it. (On top of it, the investigation started before the meeting with Sussman). Proof below: FBI agent at Sussmann trial says he rejected Alfa-Bank claims within days https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/fbi-agent-at-sussmann-trial-bureau-rejected-alfa-bank-claims-within-days
