That would be suggesting that most of your posts of which 99% don't have any links, are lies! If so, that would be the only time that you have ever said anything that I agree with.

I find that hard to believe! Your posts regularly quote talking points that are either directly or indirectly from Trump or the GOP.

Perhaps also investigate exactly why the Saudi's and Chinese gave Jared and Ivanka Kushner $2 billion and exclusive fast-track trademarks. Unlike you I base my posts on real evidence and not assumptions.

I watched the first 3 episodes last night and I found the series quite enjoyable. Looking forward to the next episode. It reminded me a lot of Tokyo Vice. Thanks for the recommendation.

The potency of the Trump cult Kool-Aid sadly fails to amaze me, with its trivalent efficacy to not only break the fabric of this Space/Time Continuum, and transport members to an alternate reality but suck away any semblance of awareness and critical thinking. For those with violent tendencies, it conditions them for Trump's subliminal call-to-arms against perceived opponents. With death threats to the Democrats including Pelosi and even his colleague and friend Pence, and more recently the FBI. His rhetoric has also been suggested to have inspired mass killings in NZ and El Peso. I suggest you try to join the dots between Trump and Pelosi's fear of violence and death. https://www.businessinsider.com/secret-service-knew-threats-nancy-pelosi-before-jan-6-riot-2022-8 https://www.politico.com/news/2021/12/14/qanon-follower-sentence-pelosi-death-threats-524209 Trump expressed support for hanging Pence during Capitol riot, Jan. 6 panel told - POLITICO Ohio gunman appeared to threaten FBI after Trump home search | AP News https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/after-new-zealand-massacre-trump-downplays-white-nationalism-threat https://theintercept.com/2019/08/04/el-paso-dayton-mass-shootings-donald-trump/

Obviously, Tehran must virtually be declaring war on Ukraine then. I wonder how the US and the rest of the free world feel about this? Especially Israel, who are just itching to bomb the <deleted> out of them. Going by Russian rules in this war, if the US supplies Ukraine with long range missiles they "will become a direct party to the conflict". "If Washington decides to supply longer-range missiles to Kyiv, then it will be crossing a red line and will become a direct party to the conflict," Russia Says US Long-Range Missiles to Ukraine Would Cross 'Red Line' (businessinsider.com)

Honestly I cannot, there were so many good bands and singers. They regularly had a guy who sang George Benson covers who I particularly enjoyed. I used to regularly go there from about 2000, when I lived close by. Later on when I visited Bangkok, I always stayed close by. Great venue, great music, lots of interesting people.

Interesting discovery aired at last week's January 6th Committee meeting, was the fact that not only did Trump and his staff privately recognise and accept Biden's victory but Trump also sought to create mischief for and possibly sabotage Biden's new administration. After his loss, Trump on November 11th, 2020, ordered the immediate withdrawal of all US troops from Somalia and Afghanistan to be finalised before Biden's inauguration day. Obviously, Trump's immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan would have been mayhem overshadowing Biden's planned somewhat chaotic withdrawal in August 2021, almost a year later. Biden's withdrawal has been a Trump and conservative media's talking point against Biden almost daily for over a year now. Possibly, they will issue an apology to right the wrong they have caused the Biden administration?

Interestly, the definition of "woke" is 'aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).'

That was in 2020 after the March 2019 date on the NYP. So, being pedantic, if I had said "more recent events" it would have covered both our instances! Judge slams Barr, orders review of Mueller report deletions - POLITICO

Back then last month is recent to most I would suggest! Sorry I was referring to the case when the Barr redacted report was released last month that proved conclusively that Barr lied. I didn't realise that another judge had previously been involved. Court Rules William Barr Wrongly Withheld Russia Probe Memo - YouTube

Your evidence is dated 20 March 2019, and is from one of conspiracy-supporter Murdoch's minions, the NYP. Nevertheless, I would suggest that this headline has now been overtaken by recent events. I must apologize! I forgot that dates and time are not relevant in an alternate reality!

The Strzok affair is just a conservative rabbit-hole and did not predicate and is now not relevant to the case. Did the Trump Campaign collude with Russia? Yes Did Trump obstruct the Mueller Investigation? Yes All the salient points of the Russia Collusion are: May 2016 Australian Downer first alerts FBI of Trump's Russian Collusion. Mar 2019 Mueller Investigation ends. April 2019 Trump/Barr Declares Trump exonerated by lying about Mueller's findings. Aug 2022 Manafort finally admits that the Trump Campaign did collude with Russia. Sept 2022 Barr's lies uncovered. In the Mueller report, there is evidence that he did collude and there's evidence to support a legal case for Trump's obstruction. Oct 2022 Durham Report is still pending, though Durham found little and what he did find looks it will be thrown out of court soon. Ongoing No decision yet whether to charge Trump with obstruction, though he had no privilege then or has any now. QED

LIke most conservatives you fail to tell the full story and put forward a dishonest, half-truth rabbit-hole conspiracy to support your narrative. It wasn't deemed unnecessary! It would have been a constitutional crisis to put troops on the ground at the Capitol on January 6th, after Trump's embarrassing photo op at the Washington church where Milley and was tricked into attendance. "The image of armed troops surrounding the Capitol, Milley believed, was incongruous with a ceremony cementing a peaceful transfer of power" and he believed it was the civilian law enforcement's responsibility. 'Christopher C. Miller, the acting defense secretary, was more blunt, saying “there was absolutely no way” he was going to put U.S. forces at the Capitol. He was conscious of news articles that Mr. Trump’s advisers were pushing him to declare martial law and invalidate the election results, he told the inspector general investigation, and having troops at the Capitol might fuel suspicion that he was trying to aid a coup'. Trump only wanted the National Guard there to protect his own supporters and possibly to project his power by the appearance that he had the military's full support of his plans. Trump's Secret Service had up-to-date intel of planned armed supporters on the day before the attack yet did nothing. On the day, Trump still had to power to call the National Guard who were on standby or call off his mob, yet he sat there doing nothing for hours, in front of the TV, watching and gloating over his planned insurrection and attempted coup at the Capitol.

"Violence is still bad right? Pelosi knows it is and her statements are only harmless rhetoric of a woman threatened with possible death by Trump's actions. At least Pelosi knows the difference between right and wrong and is willing to be accountable to the law for her actions. Yet, Trump doesn't seem to think it is! Trump is a serial offender of encouraging and threatening violence against race, religions, and reporters to political opponents and even friends and colleagues like Pence. He even personally instigated violence himself against Secret Service agent Tony Ornato by trying to throttle him. Yet, your hero has never accepted any blame or accountability for his actions 'No Blame?'

Trump's response to Jan 6 Committee Though he doesn't say he will appear or not. In his 14-page response, he gets all of his old grievances off his chest for his apologists' sake. I suggest that he has no need to attend now, as he knows that he would have no credibility while under oath, and it would only be the usual 440 iterations of him taking the 5th. He states that the election was "rigged and stolen" even though at least three of his staff had witnessed him saying that he really had accepted that Biden had won the election. I love his knock off POTUS letter head. READ IN FULL: Trump's response to Jan. 6 committee's subpoena vote | Washington Examiner

Post moved to more suitable topic i.e. House January 6 committee votes to subpoena Trump during Thursday’s hearing

Trump again seems to have a lot to say about the now factually proven, so-called Russia Russia hoax. Shame he was not so verbose when he recently pleaded the 5th 440 times under oath. With a good opportunity on prime-time TV for him approaching with the Jan 6th Committee, he will now be able to get all his perceived grievances off his chest. Here he attempts to divert attention, from pending jeopardy, with another one of his frivolous threats of legal action......

Both Fox and WSJ are both Murdoch enterprises. Murdoch is infamous for his minions being purveyors of misinformation. Fox even used the defence, that the average intelligent viewer would not take some of its programming as factual against a recent past defamation case. Fox is currently in a 1.6 Billion defamation case for pushing misinformation about the 2020 elections. Do you really consider your supporting evidence is from a reliable source?

That seems to be incredibly cheap for an OLED. I bought a 65'' LG OLED C9 3 years ago for about 75k. Brilliant TV with AI, best TV I have ever owned. I would have loved a 77" even though I have a small apartment. Large OLED TV's in small spaces don't seem to be an issue with their incredible definition. A friend has a 77" Samsung QLED which is terrible up close. I stream some 4K movies, great experience.

I bought the latest new model discounted TV online, from JD Central cheaper than I could find elsewhere. All sellers' products are verified to be authentic, unlike some of the fake knock offs etc from a popular online competitor. TV was delivered free, cash on delivery, up-country and on-time with all manufacturers' warranties offers etc. https://www.jd.co.th/

In their military warehouses, the cupboards are bare, strangely empty of equipment to kit the new 300k draftees! Perhaps the Russian people will now realize that the Russia created and portrayed by Putin over the past 20 years was just an illusion and that Russia is now a third world country and military power. He has overseen the massive corruption in Russian military and society to enrich himself and the oligarchs at the expense of the impoverished population, where dirt roads and washboards for handwashing clothing are still norm. "The chickens have come home to roost" comes to mind.

The Russian claim that they are de-nazifying Ukraine is both extremely paradoxical and hypocritical. Their stealing of children, besides Putin's propaganda, terror bombing tactics and genocide is another scheme straight out of Hitler's Nazi playbook. Hitler stolen hundreds of thousands of Germanic-looking children from captured countries to raise as Nazis for his Aryan Race Lebensborn program.
