Judge Denies Trump's Mistrial Request Over Stormy Daniels Testimony
Do you think it's okay for a news outlet to lie if they're not successfully sued for it? In any event, most if not all have been successfully sued for lying.

Okay, that's one. But to be clear, I did not say all antisemites loved Biden. That all ya got?

Is there a news outlet of any kind that has not been exposed for lying?

It's even worse in the US. In the US, when I earn money, it is taxed. If I save that money, it is taxed again. If I spend the money I have saved, it is taxed again.

Correct. The actual cost generally is: Cost + Freight + Tax 1 + Tax 2 = Landed Cost (Cost + Freight) X Duty = Tax 1 (Cost + Freight + Tax 1) X VAT = Tax 2

What're you a right-winger? You make an argument that VAT should be eliminated altogether (which I would support, because it is hideously regressive), but in this case it's just the same 7% you'd have to pay if you bought the item domestically, and you are still avoiding the import duty. It's "social engineering". The gub-ment wants you to buy domestically produced products, which helps the county and disproportionally the poor. When you import otherwise taxable products, you not only avoid paying the tax, but you also negatively impact the importer.

So, collecting taxes is greed?

So, every time you pay, it will round up, and every time you collect it will round down. No thanks.

So, it is possible for an EV to be involved in an accident and not have a fire.

Really? I've never heard that, do you have a source?

Because it is a republic, not a pure democracy. Representative government, one of our biggest mistakes was the 17th amendment. Most of the time, gridlock is the best thing that can happen.

I meant do you trust his opinion, generally? I think the prosecutors are simply out to get Trump for political reasons. All the "facts" would have been known whether Trump had been reelected or not, and Biden would still have all his classifies documents. - Judge Denies Trump's Mistrial Request Over Stormy Daniels Testimony
