  1. Do enlighten us, where do you get your propaganda free news on the Russian invasion of Ukraine?
  2. Biden has questions to answer, and the investigation needs to determine the facts, only then will anyone be able to say whether or not Biden should be in a lot of hot water. We know, by example, attempts were made over many months to retrieve classified documents from Trump, it’s only after months of his obstruction that the DOJ moved against him. ……. What’s all this about ‘De-classification’ why have you inserted that into your response?
  3. Just to be clear, when I said this earlier, it’s not something I cut and pasted from a Trump supporter:
  4. In the Trump case there is clear indication of criminality and obstruction. In the Biden case there is clear indication of self reporting and cooperation. I stand by my first post in this thread:
  5. No I did not. I made a statement about the definition of the term ‘Out of context’ and backed up my system with a link to a dictionary definition of the term ‘Out of context’. I did not quote anything. Stop it with your misrepresentation of the posts I have made and the intention of my chosen wording. Give it up already.
  6. You deny being confused over the difference and then state they are the same thing. If the cases are not the same then Biden didn’t do the same thing as Trump. Simples.
  7. Nonsense, I made a statement on a definition and then backed it up with a link to an actual dictionary definition. My statement was not a quote, partial or otherwise Give it up already.
  8. Only if you yourself are confused between Trump’s deliberate removal, concealing and retaining documents with Biden’s team finding documents and immediately reporting and returning them.
  9. That’s something you’ll need to take up with The Sun, here’s the headline again, incase you missed it: “CAPTAIN DANGER Prince Harry has put British troops’ lives in danger by boasting about his 25 Taliban kills, say ex-military chiefs”
  10. So defend out of context quotations with a truncated, and therefore ‘out of context’ quotation: “If words are used out of context, only a small separate part of what was originally said or written is reported, with the result that their meaning is not clear or is not understood:“ Quit wriggling.
  11. Partial quotes are by definition ’Out of context’ https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/out-of-context
  12. Here’s a claim that he boasted of killing 25 Afghans followed by Harry’s response and the full context of the quotation to put it back in context : The Sun: “Harry, 38, writes in his book Spare that killing 25 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan was like “chess pieces taken off the board”. The BBC: "It wasn't a statistic that filled me with pride but nor did it make me ashamed," he writes. "When I was plunged into the heat and confusion of battle, I didn't think about those as 25 people. You can't kill people if you see them as people. "In truth, you can't hurt people if you see them as people. They were chess pieces taken off the board, bad guys eliminated before they kill good guys." https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/20966702/prince-harry-put-british-troops-danger-taliban-killing-boasts/ https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-64231560
  13. I’m not ‘blaming the gutter press’. I’m simply making the factual observation that the ‘gutter press’ (that which hounded William and Harry’s mother) are in the habit of sensationalism and quoting out of context. I stand by my first comment on this matter: I haven’t made any excuses for Harry’s behavior, I’ve not even mentioned his behavior.
  14. Not a fan at all, but if he did at least read the book I strongly suspect he’s done more in that respect than most here who are denigrating him. I neither praise nor denigrate him, I don’t know the man, and everything I do know of him is at least third hand reports, none I would as from the UK’s gutter press, or at least not directly so. As for your presumption that I am a fan and your statement: ’’That would make a lot of sense actually…’’ That’s clearly two presumptions on your part.
  15. Biased towards Ethical behavior of those in Congress.
  16. “What a vile human being he has become . ” Know him personally or was that something you got thirdhand from the gutter press?
  17. The Bill represents the power grab that motivated the rightwing political elite to back BREXIT. Your eagerness to ditch Parliamentary sovereignty for reasons of expedience is noted.
  18. “But do keep in mind [Alleged] Biden corruption is now the focus”. Not in this thread it’s not.
  19. Let’s pretend this isn’t very bad news for Trump, why don’t we?!
  20. And yet you yourself had this to say a few short moments ago:
  21. Of little concern to anyone other than those fixated on gossip of the rich and famous.
  22. No, I’m suggesting the UK’s gutter press are doing what they always do, making sensational headlines out of stuff that really doesn’t matter. Here’s my statement: I doubt you’ll find many people in the UK who are not reading the gutter press who hold any strong sympathies towards or against Harry. It’s all low end celebrity gossip to distract from the things Brits need to be concerned with.
  23. I doubt very much you have read that particular book. So no, you are not getting your views straight from the horse’s mouth. Nor is anyone else who have not read that book.
