  1. It's not the Dems spreading terror rumors, it 's the DODGE nutters. Musk announced he will cut federal expenses by $2 trillion, that's 30% of the federal budget. It's huge! https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdj38mekdkgo How will they achieve it without cutting into welfare budgets? How would GOP beneficiaries be unaffected by it?
  2. A prediction is not a lie, it's a prediction.๐Ÿ˜Š The fact that there is a significant number of GOP voters currently benefitting from federal welfare programs is also not a lie.
  3. That's why it won't really happen. A lot of Republican counties are beneficiaries of federal welfare programs. That's particularly the case of rural counties, with decreasing revenues and job numbers, which are core MAGA strongholds. It is doubtful that GOP congressmen will shoot themselves into the foot! โ˜บ๏ธ And, as usual, Trump and MAGAs will whine about the deep state, etc..., to justify another broken promise.
  4. They don't really recruit them to fight, they recruit them to die. Therefore they don't need to select them according to their fighting ability.
  5. Actually, this principle works quite well for the French foreign legion.
  6. Not really. The old Caliphates or the Ottoman empire have been quite stable and prosperous. Of course, nothing to compare with the stability in Europe during this period, with no major war, no bloody religious persecution, etc... Oh wait! ๐Ÿ˜†
  7. What a ridiculous conspiracy theory! ๐Ÿคฃ
  8. Why that. How does it makes the numbers you cited more comparable? ๐Ÿ™‚ My point is that these numbers are not comparable because the composition of the two populations is different. It doesn't matter under which President they have been convicted. It wouldn't make the two numbers you cited more comparable.
  9. Irrelevant comparison. Most of the acts of clemency by Obama were commutations, and most individuals concerned had been arrested on drug charges during the war on drug. Do some basic research before commenting. ๐Ÿ˜†
  10. There is a proxy war aspect but it's not essentially a proxy war.
  11. More intrusion from your alternate universe.... ๐Ÿ˜€
  12. Which imaginary transgression? ๐Ÿ˜€
  13. Since when is the IMF a Russian source? ๐Ÿ˜€ About the current GDP growth it is fuelled by military expenses only.
  14. The average salary in SP is 10 290,15 Euro /year compared to 21โ€ฏ219,47 Euro in Poland. https://www.salaryexpert.com/salary/area/russian-federation/saint-petersburg
  15. With a local salary?
  16. Where do you think it 's better to live? In the EU or in Russia? ๐Ÿ˜†

  18. I disagree with this pardon. However, that's rich from Trump to criticize Biden, as he did the same with Jared's father!๐Ÿ˜†
  19. That's right. The U.S. is still making business with Saudi oil. As it has a spare capacity for refining heavy oil, it imports heavy oil and refines it, allowing the U.S. to export more refined oil. However, it doesn't need it for its own consumption.
  20. Yawn....
  21. Why that? I am absolutely not angry. Rather amused at your lame trolling technique! ๐Ÿ˜†
  22. You are making stuff up again!, ๐Ÿ˜†
