Half of GOP Voters Ready to Leave Trump Behind, Poll Finds
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
It looks li,e Trump is now completely losing his mind! "This is massive FRAUD & ELECTION INTERFERENCE at a level never seen before in our Country. REMEDY: Declare the rightful winner or, and this would be the minimal solution, declare the 2020 Election irreparably compromised and have a new Election, immediately!” ???????????????? https://news.yahoo.com/2022-trump-demanding-immediate-redo-164947937.html -

On top of what other members have posted, due to size effect, the relevant level of comparison should be the EU. https://sciencebusiness.net/news/eu-surpasses-us-innovation-league-table-uk-loses-leader-status-europe -

What "taxed to the max"? Taxes are rather low in the U.S. "Total US tax revenue equaled 24 percent of gross domestic product, well below the 34 percent weighted average for other OECD countries." https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-do-us-taxes-compare-internationally#:~:text=Budget and Economy-,How do US taxes compare internationally%3F,average for other OECD countries. -
Trump asks for a 'special master' to review Mar-a-Lago evidence
candide replied to Scott's topic in World News
“I’ve never been more worried about the law and politics as I am right now,” he added. Graham doesn't seem to have the same concern when it's about Jan. 6 and Trump's attempt at stealing elections. ???? -
Justice Department makes redacted Mar-a-Lago affidavit public

False equivalence as usual... You mean the Comey who is partly responsible for Clinton's loss? Have you read the article about him? I think not, otherwise you wouldn't have linked it. -

This is not comparable. There's a difference between interpreting the law in a more or less different way based on political orientation, and accepting ridiculous and unsubstantiated claims such as in Trump's Big Lie campaign. -

Right, it's terrible: the people who just parrot what they read in right-wing social media posts and memes, Trump's lies, Fox News, Breitbart, etc... without ever checking facts. -

And as usual, fake news from <deleted> right-wing social media posts. ???? "President Joe Biden claimed in a July 20 speech that growing up in Delaware near oil refineries gave him cancer. Posts on social media misinterpreted that to mean he currently has cancer. A White House spokesperson said Biden was referring to a skin cancer that was removed before he became president." "White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor released a health summary for Biden in November 2021 that confirmed that he had skin cancer that was removed before he became president" https://www.factcheck.org/2022/07/posts-on-social-media-misinterpret-bidens-quote-on-previous-cancer/

It's you who claimed people did not want Hillary. More people wanted Hillary than Trump. -

You should read The Nationl Review, ???? "Given that the former president was not responsibly securing the government’s most closely held intelligence, that he was trying to prevent the FBI from examining what he’d returned, that his lawyers were either misinformed about or lying about the classified information still retained at Mar-a-Lago, and that even the issuance of a grand-jury subpoena (with potential criminal penalties for noncompliance) had not succeeded in getting Trump to hand over the remaining classified information, what option short of a search warrant would have sufficed?" https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/08/trump-worlds-mar-a-lago-offensive-backfires/ -

The middle-class will be the main beneficiary. It may explain why GOP politicians are so angry, as it is a key electoral target for them. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-sachs-has-run-the-numbers-on-student-loan-relief-heres-their-assessment-11661417918?siteid=yhoof2 -

It is a bit complex, but as far as I understand, the government has already funded the loans. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/goldman-sachs-has-run-the-numbers-on-student-loan-relief-heres-their-assessment-11661417918?siteid=yhoof2 -
It looks like Biden is getting more incisive: “Trump and the extreme MAGA Republicans have made their choice,” said Biden, using the acronym for Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan. “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism,” Biden said later in his speech." https://news.yahoo.com/bidens-1st-midterms-campaign-speech-targets-trump-and-maga-republicans-010136000.html

After Fox News, National Review! How I like right-wing media those days! ???? Another quote: "Given that the former president was not responsibly securing the government’s most closely held intelligence, that he was trying to prevent the FBI from examining what he’d returned, that his lawyers were either misinformed about or lying about the classified information still retained at Mar-a-Lago, and that even the issuance of a grand-jury subpoena (with potential criminal penalties for noncompliance) had not succeeded in getting Trump to hand over the remaining classified information, what option short of a search warrant would have sufficed?"
