  1. PS. it's not the law to make them public, though previous candidates have chosen to do so. Trump promised to release the returns during his campaign to get elected though. Also known as hoodwinking his own voters
  2. Former neighbor says Club Q shooting suspect made hateful comments toward LGBTQ community "This is not the type of person I would take around my gay friends," he said. https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/club-q-shooting/former-neighbor-says-club-q-suspect-hated-lgbtq-community/73-d705c231-24c2-496e-ac20-bfe3e373d9f4
  3. Poland's Marshal Józef Piłsudski had a lot of vision! What he stated then is in play right now but the terrorists will not win
  4. Did the murderer really make that "perfectly clear"? The defense mentioned that in court but the only words he said were "Aldrich was barely audible when asked by the judge to confirm identity." I can see an example there of a clear misrepresentation of facts.
  5. Why no red flag on the suspect? "Aldrich was arrested in June 2021 in connection with a bomb threat that led to a standoff at his mother’s home, according to a news release from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office at the time and his mother’s former landlord." This Sheriff Was All About the Second Amendment Before the Club Q Attack In the two years before this weekend’s mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, Sheriff Bill Elder of surrounding 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, what is officially known as the Second Amendment Preservation Resolution declares El Paso to be a “Second Amendment preservation county.” It describes Elder as “a staunch promoter of the Second Amendment,” noting he had issued in excess of 45,500 concealed carry permits, “more than any other Sheriff in the state.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/el-paso-county-sheriff-bill-elder-was-all-about-the-second-amendment-before-the-club-q-attack
  6. The terrorists now being called out by the Pope who's had a change in rhetoric. Pope links plight of Ukrainians today to Stalin’s ‘genocide’ VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Wednesday linked the suffering of Ukrainians now to the 1930s “genocide artificially caused by Stalin,” when the Soviet leader was blamed for creating a man-made famine in Ukraine believed to have killed more than 3 million people. Francis’ linking of the plight of Ukrainian civilians today to those killed by starvation 90 years ago, and his willingness to call it a “genocide” caused by Josef Stalin, marked a sharp escalation in papal rhetoric against Russia. https://apnews.com/article/pope-francis-kyiv-religion-famine-vatican-city-64a2f863ec55dbff33cbd528e161e1a4
  7. "Note this is active users not new members/bots" He makes not mention of bots and in the replies plenty of people are asking the exact same question, he's got back to none of them. Still with the world cup this was expected.
  8. Evil Barbarians New wave of deadly Russian air strikes leave entire Kyiv region without power Fatal air strikes in Kyiv have left the entire region without power and cut the capital's water supply, city officials said. Vitali Klitschko, Kyiv's mayor, urged people to take shelter as critical infrastructure was hit and blasts were reported elsewhere in the city, killing at least three people and injuring six others. Power outages have been reported across Ukraine and neighbouring Moldova amid reports of explosions in a number of locations. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/11/23/ukraine-news-russia-war-latest-putin-poland-live-today/
  9. Beating it to death is illegal Trump's company kicks off defense case in criminal tax fraud trial https://www.reuters.com/legal/prosecutors-rest-case-trump-organizations-criminal-tax-fraud-trial-2022-11-21/
  10. So no link to that claim "Both sides have subsequently denied that this ever happened." Totally ignored by you so I can only assume you were delibertly lying. So far you've made many claims in this thread, not one has been substantiated with a link, lets go through just a few: 1) "Even the top US general said recently that Ukraine cannot win" - Not true, provide a link for this, he did say there was no "near term victory" it will take a long time and they are prepared for the long haul with Ukraine 2) Before the invasion he was an unpopular comedian who to the west's consternation was failing to implement the Minsk agreement. Had he done so we might not be where we are today. Not true. You fail to accept the link I provided that Russia refuses to recognize the Minsk 2 despite signing it so of course its impossible to implement 3) Ukraine was not peaceful prior to the illegal Russian invasion. It was also and still is deeply corrupt. Yes it was corrupt but not as corrupt as Russia 4) Instead of embracing realpolitick and trying to reach a viable solution, Zelensky refused and expressed the desire to join NATO and the EU. Not true, he offered to not join NATO 5) I stand by what I said: Zelensky could and should have done a lot more on the diplomatic front, to seek to avoid the catastrophe unfolding in his country today. Instead, he chose to poke the Russian bear. Not true, he defended Ukraine and its population from an illegal invasion. Putin invaded without warning on the premise it was a military exercise. 6) Putin would probably accepted the Donbas and Luhansk. LOL yea I bet he would, they don't belong to him they belong to Ukraine Ok so you've got a fair bit to substantiate there if you want a credible discussion as its pointless debating with someone who does not substantiate their claims.
  11. Substantiating a claim you made is not semantics and until you do there's not point in further discussion, either that or admit you are wrong. One month into the invasion Zelensky: We won’t join NATO if that brings peace https://nypost.com/2022/03/22/zelensky-we-wont-join-nato-if-that-brings-peace/
  12. Two in three Americans want to see Trump's tax returns, Reuters/Ipsos poll shows https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-poll-idUSKCN24G14N
  13. Link to that claim? Hint, Putin denying does not count "But, despite earlier backing the negotiations, Putin made it clear when presented with Kozak's deal that the concessions negotiated by his aide did not go far enough and that he had expanded his objectives to include annexing swathes of Ukrainian territory, the sources said. The upshot: the deal was dropped."
  14. Ask Trump, he's the one who has been trying to keep them hidden going through all sorts of courts to try and stop it. Wouldn't it be interesting to see exactly what it is he rather keep secret?
  15. Avoiding a war is also carried out through negotiations. Exclusive: As war began, Putin rejected a Ukraine peace deal recommended by aide https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/exclusive-war-began-putin-rejected-ukraine-peace-deal-recommended-by-his-aide-2022-09-14/
  16. Ignorance is spreading false claims: UN Civilian Death Figures During the entire conflict period, from 14 April 2014 to 31 December 2021, OHCHR recorded a total of 3,106 conflict-related civilian deaths (1,852 men, 1,072 women, 102 boys, 50 girls, and 30 adults whose sex is unknown). Taking into account the 298 deaths on board Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 on 17 July 2014, the total death toll of the conflict on civilians has reached at least 3,404. With Military According to the U.N., 10,900 victims were soldiers, of which 4,400 were Ukrainians and 6,500 pro-Russian combatants of or on behalf of the separatist pseudo-republics. Civilian victims were between 3,400 and 3,500. The latter were in turn not all victims of attacks and of drones and rockets launched by Ukraine against the pseudo-republics. In fact, a part died in the portions of the oblasts of Luhansk and Donetsk that remained under Ukrainian control during attacks by separatists.
  17. But what you said was wrong, you still stand by it? Zelensky refused and expressed the desire to join NATO and the EU. He refused to implement correctly the Minsk agreements that had been tirelessly negotiated. As a consequence, he was a source of irritation for many in the western corridors of power. Why has the 2015 agreement failed to end fighting in eastern Ukraine? The Minsk II deal set out military and political steps that remain unimplemented. A major blockage has been Russia’s insistence that it is not a party to the conflict and therefore is not bound by its terms. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/9/what-is-the-minsk-agreement-and-why-is-it-relevant-now
  18. I was also not just referring to copies read my post again and perhaps read the article again
  19. Probably best to read the potential for the original to have been tampered and why chain of custody is so important otherwise it is immediately thrown out of court. As for the copy that cbs used that they got from the shop owner, who said "its a clean copy" well we all know that does not fall in the remits of chain of custody.

  20. Exactly and the actual policy they used to ban him was this one: Glorification of violence policy https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/glorification-of-violence
  21. The whole point being in my post which you fail to comprehend, as much as she had the right through free speech to say those things, she also knew they would be controversial to a section of the population, she knows how twitter works. Those who were offended exercised their right to free speech in turn to criticize her. Job done. Thats how free speech works
  22. Accepted, but my rebuke was clearly: "This is about twitter, she never got banned from twitter. With 13 million followers she makes her statements which many found offensive apparently, She's smart enough to know that, she's been on twitter a long time. You advocate free speech right? She faced the consequences of her free speech" Here's a separate link for you that does not include the UK court: This past weekend, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling brought a lot of criticism on herself with a series of tweets that many read as transphobic. She seemed to have been set off by an article on access to menstrual hygiene supplies during a global pandemic that referenced "people who menstruate." https://www.npr.org/2020/06/10/873472683/harry-potters-magic-fades-when-his-creator-tweets
