Russian tourists pack charter flights to Pattaya and Phuket
Bkk Brian replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not many holiday flights from Ukraine coming to Thailand -
In 1994, President Bill Clinton signed an assault-weapons ban, which banned the AR-15 and other similar semiautomatic rifles. After its ban, mass shootings were down in the decade that followed, in comparison to the decade before (1984-94) and the one after (2004-14), NPR reported in 2018. https://www.npr.org/2022/05/26/1101274322/uvalde-ar-15-style-rifle-history-shooter-mass-shooting

Quite rightly, hopefully mass shootings will carry on getting a lot of publicity and Biden helped that along with his call to ban semi automatic assault rifles. "Thankfully, weapons typically referred to as assault weapons or modern sporting rifles are not used in the majority of firearm homicides. However, when they are used, they have an outsized impact on injury and death." https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/download/testimony-hunter-2022-07-20

Nothing wrong with Biden wanting a ban on semi automatic weapons, their definition is clearly defined without the need for fruit. Even from an edited video and ignoring the article where it states automatic assault rifles. Here's another definition from the same link, do you see how what they all say? "In general, assault weapons are semiautomatic firearms with a large magazine of ammunition that were designed and configured for rapid fire and combat use." "The definition varies among regulating jurisdictions, but usually includes semi-automatic firearms with a detachable magazine, a pistol grip, and sometimes other features" Their usage are increasing in mass shootings, he was referring to mass shootings. I think you are losing the plot entirely so I will leave that there with you as your logic is failing

In the United States, assault weapon is a controversial term used to define firearms with specified characteristics.[1] The definition varies among regulating jurisdictions, but usually includes semi-automatic firearms with a detachable magazine, a pistol grip, and sometimes other features https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_weapon

What do you think a "Review Article" is? This is not a study No thanks I don't want to hear misleading and false claims from a quack gone wrong. The professionals can do the fact checking for me. Factcheck Article by cardiologist Aseem Malhotra made unsupported claims about the benefits and risks of COVID-19 vaccination Got anything to dispute it?

The 2021 bomb incident was in El Paso County, Colorado. This reliably Republican territory has seen a fair bit of attention, and it is clearly where the Trump campaign has tried to take a stand. The sheriff Bill Elder of El Paso County stridently opposed a 2020 “red flag” law that authorizes the courts to bar dangerous individuals from possessing or purchasing firearms. Elder was also vocal in supporting an anti-red flag resolution passed unanimously by county commissioners. You can view security camera footage of that incident where he is dressed in body armour, helmet etc https://edition.cnn.com/videos/us/2022/11/21/colorado-club-q-shooting-suspect-2021-police-standoff-facebook-video-tsr-vpx.cnn/video/playlists/top-news-videos/ You're mistaken, he's not black and there is certainly no confirmation from Aldrich that he is non binary, that's a statement from his lawyers only. The best that can be applied to that is "alleged" His mother Laura Voepel in a facebook post (since deleted) one day before the nightclub murders was clearly referring to him as male. "son" "him" Anderson Lee Aldrich sent mother chilling message hours before Colorado Springs shooting https://twitter.com/ChudsOfTikTok/status/1595270795009351680

Twitter hit with mass resignations after Elon Musk's ‘hardcore’ ultimatum
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
Another farce poll to justify himself and his own intentions. No doubt next week he'll also be showing another graphic of high user figures........... Elon Musk says he is granting "amnesty" to suspended Twitter accounts New Twitter owner Elon Musk said Thursday that he is granting "amnesty" for suspended accounts, which online safety experts predict will spur a rise in harassment, hate speech and misinformation. Such online polls are anything but scientific and can easily be influenced by bots. A number of civil rights groups, including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Anti-Defamation League, are urging advertisers to boycott Twitter in response to Musk's decision to restore Trump's posting rights, the organizations contend that Musk reneged on his previous commitment to create a "content moderation council" before reinstating controversial accounts. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elon-musk-amnesty-suspended-twitter-accounts/ -
Another one for Trump to string out in the courts for as long as he can. Writer who accused Trump of 1990s rape files new lawsuit A writer who accused former President Donald Trump of rape filed an upgraded lawsuit against him Thursday in New York, minutes after a new state law took effect allowing victims of sexual violence to sue over attacks that occurred decades ago. E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer filed the legal papers electronically as the Adult Survivor’s Act temporarily lifted the state’s usual deadlines for suing over sexual assault. She sought unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for pain and suffering, psychological harms, dignity loss and reputation damage. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/24/writer-who-accused-trump-of-1990s-rape-files-new-lawsuit.html

Ukraine war: How Germany ended reliance on Russian gas

The rest of Europe is also doing quiet well for this winter: https://graphics.reuters.com/UKRAINE-CRISIS/EUROPE-GAS/zdvxozxzopx/ -
Actually unless I've missed something, your link states: "The Senate has concluded that members of Congress (representatives and senators) are not "civil officers" for purposes of impeachment" Senators therefore cannot be impeached although, they can be expelled or censured.

Me too but I just saw it on Google https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/oct/15/kent-burnt-out-electricity-cable-will-take-two-more-years-to-get-back-to-full-service Fire at a National Grid site in Kent - This knocked out a power cable that runs between England and France and is used to import electricity from the continent. This isn’t expected to be fully back up and running until 2023. https://bionic.co.uk/blog/noticed-energy-prices-have-fallen-over-past-few-months/ -

Gas yes, along with covid, however electric also has other issues that didn't help. The fire at a National Grid site in Kent which imports electricity from Europe will take another 2 years to fix. -
The facts are we just don't know yet, its only his lawyers mentioning this in his defense, that cannot be authenticated at all at this time. My personal opinion being that its just a play by them but obviously I could be wrong. I find it very disturbing the extreme hate speech being thrown out by the right in the VICE article posted earlier, QAnon have even got hold if it now claiming its a false flag, we know how many extreme right wingers support their conspiracy theories.
