M&M shoes, school books, balloons, .... it looks like the GOP is desperately trying to distract attention from important issues.

The 3 Chinese spy balloons spotted during the Trump administration were initially classified as UFOs https://www.businessinsider.com/chinese-spy-balloons-seen-during-trump-administration-classified-as-ufos-2023-2?r=US&IR=T

So what's the added benefit of not being in the EU????? There was already an FTA between the EU and Chile, which has been extended in December 2022. The EU also signed a cooperation agreement with Malaysia in December, which is more than what the UK currently has

A particular poll may be inaccurate (within a margin of error). However, when successive polls show the same trend, the trend cannot be wrong. https://www.statista.com/statistics/987347/brexit-opinion-poll/

Maybe because it's been debunked long time ago, and also because no one trusts the GOP led committee for telling the truth https://www.factcheck.org/2022/04/attorney-general-never-called-concerned-parents-domestic-terrorists/

Trump has been rather quiet about it, indeed. It's now three weeks since the last time he insulted the special counsel. It's unusual.

Gag! Trump golf resorts at Turnberry and Balmedie lost £4.4m in 2021 "Brexit has impacted our business as supply chains have been impacted by availability of drivers and staff, reducing deliveries and the availability of certain product lines," he wrote. Eric Trump also said staff availability had been a "challenge" due to wage inflation caused by "increased business levels" in the retail and logistics sectors, adding the "staffing pool" had been indirectly affected by Brexit "with lack of access to European staff for businesses in general resulting in greater demand for the individuals previously available at the resort". https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-64497946

She's actually quite well considered in the MAGA sphere, including by some BMs. Of course, she's an embarrassment, but her B.S. also works well among some categories of voters. I think most GOP politicians are quite happy to have a few people specialised in spreading useful B.S., without being themselves compromised with it.

He admitted long ago that he was smoking crack, so no scoop! Have sex with prostitutes, OMG, what a crime! And It's not like a former President would have a track record about it! ???? Influence peddling: from what has been made public so far, there's no evidence of it in the emails.

The NE is one of the regions most affected by Brexit, in particular because the dependence of its industry from EU markets. Contrary to the title of a song by a famous rock band, they have been fooled again, it seems.

He may have hoped that it would calm down slowly. However, there will be soon a fake house investigation about him.

Ok

No what? Are you claiming that the Bible accurately describes the historical reality, and that historians confirm this claim?

Ahem! It's a bit more complex than that as the Bible is a religious book and not an history book. Let's be clear: I am not saying that Jews were not in Israel at that time. I am just recalling that, as all religious books, the Bible may have only a remote relation to the historical reality.

Obviously you have not read or understood the article. Actually, it even in the title: recessions. An article under paywall, but based on this paper which can be downloaded freely. Interestingly enough, it is an IMF research paper. https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WP/Issues/2018/03/05/How-Well-Do-Economists-Forecast-Recessions-45672 Yes, economists are poor at predicting recessions (or downturns), that is periods of significant change, and usually tended to be too optimistic. As shown in the paper, the IMF record is not worse than others, such as Consensus. The paper doesn't conclude they are poor at predicting anything (under the limit of the exercise, which is an attached probability). Only significant recessions. In the case of the 2023 report, It's not about predicting a recession, as It's a short-term forecast under conditions which are not expected to change. So your remark is not relevant for the OP topic (unless you claim that unexpected events may even create a harsher recession).

Damning Montage Exposes Donald Trump’s Fifth Amendment Hypocrisy In Less Than A Minute ???? https://www.yahoo.com/news/damning-montage-exposes-donald-trump-073926486.html

OK (if this poll is reliable). However, people being people, opinions are influenced by perceptions. After years of Netanyahu's government, and on top of it after the so-called Trump "peace" plan, it is obvious that Palestinians were not expecting to see the opportunity of any fair two state solution soon. When there is no realistic reply option, and you are <deleted>-off, choosing the less realistic and most provocative reply (regaining all of Palestinia) is not a surprising reaction.

It is actually sourced locally. The U.S. are already producing most of what is needed, and are a net exporter of energy. The only reasons the U.S. are still importing crude oil is that (1) some needed varieties are not easily found in the U.S. soil and (2) some crude oil is imported, then refined and re-exported.

A liar and a cheat. He had all the credentials to become a MAGA politician. ????

So what? Did they use banned books to reach their goals? ???? The topic is about banning books.

Lol! You are making things up again! They are not anti grooming laws. They are laws to ban books! BTW, most schools have anti-grooming and anti- sexual abuse regulations and procedures.

That's ridiculous (of course, It's from Cruz). No need to get access to secret documents to get this information.. This type of information was widely avaible in press articles, published policy analyses and consulting report.
