  1. They did not got it wrong. It was clearly displayed in the first affidavit on 31 October.: "e. DEPAPE stated that they went downstairs to the front door. The police arrived and knocked on the door, and Pelosi ran over and opened it." (I have already published this quote in a previous thread, with the link). The affidavit can be accessed from here https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/man-charged-assault-and-attempted-kidnapping-following-breaking-and-entering-pelosi-residence It seems the November 9 court filing is summarising some events compared to the first affidavit. It could be that they stated the two officers opened the door to make it short, as it was not a key point for an indictment. Storm in a tea cup.....
  2. Like the French Foreign legion.
  3. Murdoch: always the same subtle way! ???? Only the target is changed. I guess MAGA folks must feel so stressed from cognitive dissonance! ????
  4. They signed a pact with their own blood, and it usually doesn't turn out to lead to positive outcomes!
  5. They will not have any other choice than "tread easy", because they have nothing.
  6. It's just because he likes to treat his employees well! ????
  7. After the Senate voted against allowing subpoenas to call witnesses and documents. ????
  8. Well, according to your conspiracy theory, as it has been now confirmed that Trump is the best chance for a Dem win in 2024 (even a significant number of Republicans hold this opinion, including in this forum), we should expect the DOJ to quickly drop this case! ????
  9. In the U.S. system, It's not the President who decides to search homes. It's the DOJ with the approval of a judge. And It's a jury which will make the final decision to convict or not.
  10. It doesn't really matter. It may just be an extra bonus. Trump illegally kept presidential records, refused to give them back and obstructed their recovery, He's being investigated according to a law which Trump considered being so important, that he increased the sanctions associated to it. He will likely get a taste of his own medicine!
  11. I fear we may be a bit biased about the sources we use and should link more conservative sources too! ???? Trump 3.0 is a changed man — he’s now a loser https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/trump-3-0-is-a-changed-man-hes-now-a-loser To paraphrase Voltaire after he attended an orgy, once was an experiment, twice would be perverse. A bruised Donald Trump announced a new presidential bid on Tuesday night, an invitation to double down on the outrages and failures of the last several years that Republicans should reject without hesitation or doubt https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/11/no/ ‘Low energy,’ ‘bruised’ Trump 2024 announcement gets panned on Twitter https://nypost.com/2022/11/15/trump-2024-presidential-announcement-gets-panned-on-twitter/ This is going to be good! ????
  12. On top of it, when one states one was living better under Trump, it usually doesn't only refer to the last month of his presidency
  13. Other indexes (Dow Jones, S&P) follow more or less a similar trend, the NASDAQ being an exception. As concerns NASDAQ, does it usually represent a large share of pension fund's portfolio?
  14. He forgot Hugo Chavez, lol! Anyway, the usual Trump m.o. : " people say...", " I've been told.." etc....
  15. How is it possible? Aren't your retirement savings indexed on the U.S. stock market? https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/stock-market
  16. So Trump's erratic behaviour and B.S. talking was not responsible for the bad coverage he had? What should the media do? Diffuse B.S. propaganda instead of checking facts and debunking B.S. I guess you will also complain that CNN is being unfair to Trump for debunking the B.S. he just said? https://edition.cnn.com/2022/11/15/politics/fact-check-trump-announcement-speech-2024/index.html
  17. The Republicans are pathetic. They were ok with Trump's lies as long as they thought it would be beneficial to them. And the reason they want now to get rid of Trump is not related any moral concern, It's just because it didn't work for the midterms. "What? Lying doesn't work any more? OMG!" ????
  18. It's called tactics. What should one do when one's political opponents are a party of liars and cheaters, who are ready to do anything in order to get power? Just bend over and say "go on"? On top of it, in term of risks, risking having a few extreme people elected is a lower concern than the risk of having a red wave, from a party in which a large majority of politicians is either supporting or condoning threats to Democracy,
  19. You are assuming they would make the most rational choice. It's not what we've been used to observe...... Anyway, we'll see.
  20. It doesn't sound nice for jackals! ????
  21. I guess it depends how "swamp" is defined, but I get the broad idea, However, there is no evidence that Trump went against the "swamp", or even intended to do so. At best (worst), what we could observe was an attempt to replace the previous "swamp" by his own swamp.
  22. But how will his fanbase react? They have already believed crazy conspiracy theories such as pizzagate or the big lie. They may well be ready to believe a new RINO conspiracy theory. He has no chance to be elected, but he's able to make such a mess that any other GOP candidate would lose elections.
  23. Well, at least Biden did not put his name on the checks...
  24. Do you understand "relative" performance?
