  1. It's not me who evoked this scenario, It's your mate riclag. You know, the post you marked with a "thanks" emoticon.
  2. I doubt the pro-Desantis, the Heritage Foundation network, the friends of Murdoch, and the few ones who have been against Trump from Jan. 6 will hurry to hinder the investigation. On top of it, due to the short GOP majority, only 5 or 6 defections will be enough to fail any GOP initiative.
  3. Most reasonable people don't buy the right wing propaganda claiming that Trump has been unfairly investigated.
  4. Without even considering the lack of justification for cutting funding off, do you really think all Republicans reps would vote for it?
  5. Excuse me, but there may have been good reasons for this decision. In particular, the fact that epidemics diffuse according to a wave pattern. Actually the problem has been that UK did not apply lockdowns fast and hard enough. https://theconversation.com/did-the-covid-lockdowns-work-heres-what-we-know-two-years-on-176623
  6. Right! Everybody knows the previous owners and managers were happy to pay thousands of people for doing nothing, instead of pocketing more of those juicy stock options and dividends! ????
  7. Not destroy! Extend halting deliveries throught NS1, in order to put pressure on European countries. And this without the need for Gazprom to pay fines according to international law, as it is a case of "force majeure". An additional benefit is that the pipelines crossing Ukraine now play a more crucial role. They may be bombed because of bad luck, sabotaged by Nazi terrorists, etc....
  8. I wouldn't bet all of it has been spend wisely (the government was not particularly competent), but it has likely allowed the survival of the UK economy, you know like preventing the health system to collapse, preventing businesses from going bankrupt, preventing people from having to sell their house at any price by necessity, etc....
  9. Come on! The EU is applying the agreement negotiated by BoJo. There is nothing exceptional about it. It's the same rules the UK was actually applying to third countries while it was in the EU. It's also the same rules the UK is currently applying to third countries, as most EU laws have been retained. Of course, for Brexiteers, It's always someone else's fault (usually the EU),
  10. And also claimed they had been planted by the FBI! ????
  11. Have you read the article? It doesn't show the FBI is a corrupt establishment.
  12. It seems you have some reading and/or understanding problems. The emails were about the creation of a joint-venture, and it was asked whether the Big Guy may take 10% of it. When you become a shareholder of a JV, you don't receive money, you invest in his capital. Furthermore, the JV has effectively been created. It is not a secret operation, the JV must be registered, and Joe has not been a shareholder of the JV. Finally, there is no evidence this JV has been involved in anything illegal. It is also not evil per se to partner with Chinese companies. Thousands of JVs with Chinese companies have been created, included by Trump.
  13. More lies, more B.S., more checks! It's simple!
  14. You are completely incoherent again. Biden could not have ordered the FBI to do it. The President was Trump and the DOJ was headed by Barr.
  15. And Jim Jordan may have secret whistleblowers who could confirm it! ????
  16. Exactly, not much to do. Unlike Hunter, Kushner was a WH official involved in ME policy, so there is a clear conflict of interest in this case.
  17. So no pay, no play according to your source. No pay: Hunter got a 5m loan (actually it came out that the recipient company did not belong to him, but never mind). Joe did not get any payment. He was also not shareholder of the JV (which would have been no problem anyway, as he was a private citizen) No play: the Chinese energy company was not involved with the U.S. government (ex did not get any contract or licence) so absolutely no possibility for pay. On top of it, when it happened, It was in 2017, so there was even less possibility. In brief, they have nothing
  18. There has been an official investigation into Hunter for years, and they are currently investigating all his financial data as he is already suspected of tax fraud. If the Republicans have true witnesses (and not Jim Jordan's style B.S.), they only need to direct them to the investigators. As mentioned by bild766, It's all B.S. about what they "may" have. ????
  19. Exactly. No relation, for two reasons. Joe Biden is not being investigated, and has publicised his tax returns
  20. The treasury has rejected a request to copy the files, however, it is not forbidden to House reps. to consult the files. And what did they found? Nothing.
  21. You are getting it the wrong way. They don't need to show they are not compromised (and Joe is not concerned anyway). It must be proven they are compromised. It's currently being officially investigated for years (by a Republican). There's no need for a ridiculous Jim Jordan show.
  22. The French could advise a radical way to do it! ????
