  1. You're right, they probably were indicted but that does not take away the outcome which I quoted (no conviction) nor does it take away the use of undocumented workers by Trump while at the same time attacking it politically.
  2. From your link: "A centrally planned economy, also known as a command economy, is an economic system where a government body makes economic decisions regarding the production and distribution of goods." Where does that fit into the ideology of cities referred to in C40? https://www.c40knowledgehub.org/s/article/15-minute-cities-Debunking-the-myths?language=en_US
  3. Although that company was never actually indicted which is what the poster was asking for. "In a non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Speed Fab Crete, a Texas-based builder, admitted it illegally employed individuals not authorized to work in the United States, and agreed to forfeit $3 million to the U.S. Treasury for use in promoting law enforcement activities related to immigration enforcement." Trump, trumps it all...................... For years — including during Trump’s presidency — the Trump Organization employed undocumented workers as housekeepers, waiters, groundskeepers and stonemasons. Using them brought a double advantage: Trump could reap the financial benefit of undocumented labor — the ability to pay his employees lower wages and fewer benefits — and the political benefit of attacking it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/5-questions-about-president-trumps-use-of-undocumented-workers/2019/12/04/29439928-16a2-11ea-a659-7d69641c6ff7_story.html
  4. You said the ideology scares you. You now state that its because it smacks of central planning. Can you tell me what city does not have central planning?
  5. Sounds like he has himself to blame for this. Infamous YouTuber ‘Lord Miles’ Among UK Nationals Detained by the Taliban Miles Routledge, otherwise known by the online moniker Lord Miles, attracted global notoriety in 2021 when he took a “holiday” to Afghanistan shortly before the Taliban takeover. He was subsequently airlifted out of the country by the British Army during the fall of Kabul in August of that year, securing a highly sought after seat on an evacuation flight while thousands of Afghans who had worked alongside Western coalition forces were left behind. Routledge posted videos and updates to Facebook and 4Chan at the time, and later returned to Afghanistan where he filmed YouTube videos in which he joined a Taliban parade and fired guns with Taliban militants. https://www.vice.com/en/article/ak3d7j/youtuber-arrested-by-taliban-afghanistan
  6. That's the Fox version opinion. What he actually said was: "As for Alvin Bragg, as a matter of fact I did not contribute to his campaign and I don't know him," Soros told Semafor. "I think some on the right would rather focus on far-fetched conspiracy theories than on the serious charges against the former president."
  7. You need to explain, "A global network of mayors taking urgent action to confront the climate crisis and create a future where everyone can thrive." What is their ideology that you don't agree with?
  8. Its worthwhile spending a couple of minutes fact checking when making claims that you then can't back up. Study: No partisan benefit from mail voting in 2020 election The research is only the latest in a years-long number of studies finding no partisan benefit to mail voting. But it also draws the conclusion that making it easier to vote did not increase voting levels because voters were already highly motivated to participate in the 2020 contest. Even As Trump Denounces Vote By Mail, GOP In Florida And Elsewhere Relies On It
  9. There's a strong likelihood there are two women involved here. "the grand jury has been investigating hush money payments to two women who claimed to have had with him. Details of those payments were made public only after he was elected as president in 2016.
  10. Spoken from someone who has no idea what they are yet........typical Trump supporter, making illogical claims
  11. There's 30 counts, you know what all the charges are then?
  12. Russian media: St Petersburg woman detained on suspicion of murdering propagandist Russian security forces have detained Darya Trepova, a resident of St Petersburg, on suspicion of murdering propagandist Vladlen Tatarsky. Source: Russian media outlet Interfax, citing an informed source; Fontanka Details: Darya Trepova, born in 1997, has been detained on suspicion of Tatarsky's murder and taken to the investigator, the agency’s source said. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/04/2/7396132/
  13. Well we can rule out an assassination by Putin as he didn't fall out of a window...............
  14. This would be good if allowed. Would certainly stop Tucker making up his own stories! Donald Trump: Media launch bid to allow cameras in court for ex-US president's hearing https://news.sky.com/story/donald-trump-media-launch-bid-to-allow-cameras-in-court-for-ex-us-presidents-hearing-12848126
  15. The indictment's remain under seal who's leaked them? Do tell.......
  16. Do share what you find so scary? https://www.c40knowledgehub.org/s/article/15-minute-cities-Debunking-the-myths?language=en_US
  17. It is possible to kick them out, they deserve to be. Expelling Russia from the UN Security Council — a How-to Guide Russia’s permanent membership of the world’s most powerful international forum has been a cause for despair, but there is a way to unseat Putin’s diplomats. https://cepa.org/article/expelling-russia-from-the-un-security-council-a-how-to-guide/
  18. Actually I was wrong, it was 64 not 60. Eight prominent conservatives released a 72-page report Thursday refuting claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election in dozens of unsuccessful court cases brought forth by former President Trump and his allies. The group — which includes former federal judges, Republican senators and Republican-appointed officials — said they reviewed all 64 court cases Trump and his allies initiated challenging the election outcome, saying they had reached an “unequivocal” conclusion that the claims were unsupported by evidence. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3559758-conservative-group-finds-absolutely-no-evidence-of-widespread-fraud-in-2020-election/
  19. "If it is the case (actually, now even the govt high position people are not allowed), why he left illegally, as I understand. Or perhaps, because he would not be allowed out into Russia, even for his kids?" Your understanding is not my concern when the article is very clear on the circumstances.
  20. I don't do deflection, I do facts however: Today, 17 March 2023, Pre-Trial Chamber II of the International Criminal Court (“ICC” or “the Court”) issued warrants of arrest for two individuals in the context of the situation in Ukraine: Mr Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Ms Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova. Mr Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, born on 7 October 1952, President of the Russian Federation, is allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation (under articles 8(2)(a)(vii) and 8(2)(b)(viii) of the Rome Statute). https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/situation-ukraine-icc-judges-issue-arrest-warrants-against-vladimir-vladimirovich-putin-and
  21. Can you tell me what your comments have to do with Putin's arrest warrant for the abduction of Ukraine children? Not for illegal invasion.
  22. So its no longer in force then and the US has no protect that it gave previously. I thought I would note that for you. The UK has never had one by the way.
  23. The one that was repealed you mean? https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/7523/text
  24. You've just avoided it again, here it is for you: "Did the President/Prime Minister of those countries have an arrest warrant out for them from the ICC?" If you don't want to answer it fine. But I was pointing out your flawed comparison to the UK and US.
