  1. And, of course, you forgot to mention the real assault on Democacy: Trump and the MAGA refusing to acknowledge that he lost the 2020 election, evoking ridiculous conspiracy theories of massive voter fraud, plotting fake electors lists and assaulting the Capitol in an attempt to steal elections! That's laughable!
  2. And also rejected Trump's demand to lift the debt ceiling!
  3. It's not wise for a diplomat to tell the truth!
  4. And it's high time to halt the catastrophic revenue decrease since Musk took over twitter! 😆 https://www.businessofapps.com/data/twitter-statistics/ Musk is not in it for no reason.....
  5. You're not alleging that Trump may be motivated by his own business interests, are you? 😆
  6. It's funny how MAGAs and assimilated posters hate him! Because of his parodies of Trump? 😆
  7. And it's not like Christians (I.e. the Catholic Church) would have their own rules about this subject! Oh wait! 😆
  8. It's a long story.... 😆 Trump’s name removed from Panama hotel after legal fight https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/05/trump-organization-panama-hotel-437092
  9. I do. I tend to support fighting against Salafism, as it has been a terrorists' nest for decades. Not the Houti any more.
  10. If he hadn't killed a black guy, you wouldn't have opened a thread to defend him!
  11. She's complaining about Musk, not about the fact that AI can scrutinise bills.
  12. So why did Musk mention it and not the 3.8% actual proposal?
  13. You are making stuff up. No one is throwing a tantrum about it. It's actualky a good thing as it will soon be used to check the next GOP Congress. Actually, it's already useful. I asked ChatGPT and it replied that there was no 40% salary increase proposal in the first bill.
  14. As I mentioned in my post, this is not coherent with what the other guy wrote.
  15. You are grasping at straws. It did not propose a 40% rise. That was unequivocal. Either Musk did not even check the bill before torpedoing it, or he knowingly mentioned a 40% rise in order to fool the gullible.
  16. The ECHR could not punish Hungary but the ECJ of the EU could fine it (€200 million).
  17. Russia is lucky that Trump will soon show his strength to Ukraine!
  18. Here's what happens.... "The spending agreement released Tuesday included a bipartisan provision to limit and screen U.S. investments in China, among dozens of other proposals attached to the 1,500-page bill. As the CEO and largest stockholder in Tesla, Musk has extensive business connections to China. The company operates a major manufacturing plant in Shanghai and has sought to build deeper connections with Chinese companies. DeLauro cited Tesla’s operations in China as a reason for Musk to derail a bill containing limits on investments in the country, and she cited potential issues with technologies such as self-driving cars and long-lasting batteries being made in China." https://thehill.com/business/5051709-musk-delauro-spending-bill-china/
  19. Yet MAGA fans have been continuously posting the Dems were the party of the rich and big business. MAGAs cannot be that incoherent ... Oh wait! 😆
  20. Hmmm.... - Why did he mention the 40%? There are two options (1) the usual MAGA trick to push lies to the gullible while covering their ass (similar to "I've been told" or "people say") or (2) he didn't know what he was talking about, which is a problem for a major policy adviser. - the bill clearly didn't propose 40%. Only a moron or ill-intentioned person would have jumped on it.
  21. Surprise surprise! 😆 The spending agreement released Tuesday included a bipartisan provision to limit and screen U.S. investments in China, among dozens of other proposals attached to the 1,500-page bill.

  22. The ECHR is not an EU institution. It's an institution of the 'old' Council of Europe. If I remember well, its creation has been trigged by Churchill.
