  1. Giving your appetite for falsehoods, I'm not surprised.
  2. This has got to be one of the most clueless comments I have ever read in this forum. I wish I found it hard to believe that you could mistake what I presented there as facts.
  3. "Multiple polls this week have shown his approval rating dropping into more normal territory for him, in the mid-40s. And a new Washington Post-Ipsos poll crystallizes a number of warning signs for Trump’s agenda of drastic and legally dubious change. Indeed, Americans seem to be quite concerned by how far Trump is going, and most of his signature policies and initiatives appear to be quite unpopular — especially those spearheaded by billionaire Elon Musk." https://archive.ph/C08bk
  4. Voting for the Mayor Who Promised to Blow Up the City Doesn’t Mean I Approve of the Mayor Blowing Up the City by Mike Drucker It’s so easy to label people these days. From the way folks have been talking, you’d think everyone falls into two buckets: those who voted against the mayor who promised to blow up the city and those who voted for the mayor who promised to blow up the city. And now that the mayor, whom I voted for, is blowing up the city, as he promised, I’m one of many people who are being unfairly blamed for something I didn’t want... https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/voting-for-the-mayor-who-promised-to-blow-up-the-city-doesnt-mean-i-approve-of-the-mayor-blowing-up-the-city?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Taking Trump seriously but not literally turned out to be a big mistake for those voters.
  5. Go ahead and keep call those points names rather than refuting them.
  6. This really hasn't aged well at all.
  7. Whether you add hominy or just plain cornmeal, your comment makes no sense. On the other hand, if you meant ad hominem, well, in that case your comment would still make no sense.
  8. I guess Alexander Navalny doesn't disagree with that. But that's because he died in a Russian prison. But the thing is, the opposition was allowed to say anything they liked about the Ukraine War as long as it was supportive. Oh...and it was a criminal offense to call it a war.
  9. The purpose of the campaign is to inform the general public that vaccines still provide the best protection against the common flu. Although vaccines do not necessarily prevent the flu and individuals can certainly get the flu even after vaccination, the rate of complications like infection of the lung are significantly diminished, and symptoms from flu for those vaccinated tend to be much milder when compared to those who get the flu and are unvaccinated... Flu cases are the highest they have been in the last decade, with at least 29 million flu illnesses this season, 370,000 hospitalizations and 16,000 deaths, according to the CDC. https://archive.ph/r12th https://www.forbes.com/sites/omerawan/2025/02/20/cdc-halts-successful-flu-vaccination-campaign-sparking-health-concerns/

  10. Kash Patel claims he witnessed Donald Trump verbally declassifying documents. He was called to testify before the grand jury about that claim. He refuses to divulge what the substance of his testimonly. Hmmmm....
  11. Links don't work anymore so you have to actually copy the url and not the text. that would ordinarily link to the text. Anyway, Musk actually boasted about this: Musk Says He’s ‘Deleted’ Popular Free IRS Tax Filing Program President Trump’s “special government employee,” Elon Musk, announced on Monday that he had dissolved the Internal Revenue Service’s free file program—suggesting that he effectively fired the staff who worked on the popular program. The billionaire revealed that he “deleted” the group of individuals who oversaw the system that allows Americans to easily file their taxes for free on the IRS website. The IRS-run free and simplified tax filing option had 76% approval from registered voters based on a 2023 poll by Navigator. https://www.thedailybeast.com/musk-says-hes-deleted-popular-free-irs-tax-filing-program/
  12. Well, maybe if he was Donald Trump, he would call an election. Because to do that, he would have to violate the Ukrainian Constitution which specifically says elections can't be held while martial law is in effect.
  13. On his radio show, Levin delivered a history lesson on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s rise to power and various crimes, while going to bat for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. “ I mean, this is almost comical in a sick way that Putin is demanding an election. Why is he demanding an election in Ukraine when he doesn’t have free and real elections in his own country? And why does he-, why does he get to call the shots when in fact, he murders people who dare to challenge him?” https://www.mediaite.com/news/mark-levin-defies-trump-by-backing-zelensky-and-trashing-putin-bashes-sick-and-un-american-foreign-policy/

  14. Here's one example of Ukraines vile exercise of typical Nazi behavior in contrast to the open honest way Russia has conducted itself: "Ukraine has facilitated the implementation of the ICRC mandate, including through granting ICRC full access to internment facilities where POWs were held (in 2023, ICRC visited such facilities in Ukraine more than 70 times), which cannot be said of the enemy Power. As required by IHL, Ukraine ensured the right of the enemy prisoners of war to inform family members of their capture and condition, as well as to receive information from their relatives: every prisoner of war has the right to call relatives weekly/monthly, send/receive letters (through the Information Bureau and ICRC). From its side, the enemy Power does not provide such an opportunity to Ukrainian prisoners of war held in its captivity." https://rcrcconference.org/res-report-33rd/report-on-33rd-ic-resolution-1-bringing-ihl-home-a-road-map-for-better-national-implementation-of-international-humanitarian-law-33ic-19-r1-ukraine/#:~:text=Ukraine has facilitated the implementation,said of the enemy Power.
  15. Where was Trump mentioned? But even if he was mentioned, the gist of this story would mean that he is opposed to the most Hitler-like national leader in Eurasia. Just the opposite of what you read into it.
  16. No documentary this season has been more talked about or acclaimed than “No Other Land,” which chronicles the besieged community of Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank as Israeli forces demolish residents’ homes and expel families from the land they have lived in for generations, claiming the area is needed for a military training ground. Directed by the Palestinian filmmakers Basel Adra and Hamdan Ballal alongside the Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, “No Other Land” has received critical acclaim and collected many honors on the festival circuit. After winning the best documentary award at its Berlin International Film Festival premiere last February, the film also earned the same prize at the Gotham Awards and from major critics’ groups in New York and Los Angeles. https://archive.ph/utFA0#selection-803.0-811.453

  17. This is what Nearly all the world’s glaciers are melting at an accelerated pace, study finds https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20210429-nearly-all-the-world-s-glaciers-are-melting-at-an-accelerated-pace-study-finds Glacierised drainage basins cover 26% of the global land surface outside of Greenland and Antarctica, and are populated by almost one-third of the World’s population2. Upland areas (above 2000 m above sea level) in southeast Asia supply the five basins of the Indus, Ganges, Yellow, Brahmaputra and Yangtze rivers, providing water to 1.4 billion people (over 20 % of the global population). https://www.antarcticglaciers.org/glaciers-and-climate/glaciers-and-water-resources/glaciers-as-a-water-resource/
  18. If you had read the article, you would know that it was the hottest January on record. Nowhere does it say the hottest January of all time.
  19. Another moronic comment. First off, oceanfront isn't the same as beachfront. An oceanfront home can be many meters above sea level. Second, there's a lot of very wealthy people out there. And if they get 30 years of use out of a property before it becomes uninhabitable, that may be a fine tradeoff for them. Third. What do your comments have to do with the science?
  20. A case of frying pan into fire. As the IG of the Justice Dept noted. the Steele Dossier was neither the trigger nor the basis of the investigation
  21. Actually,,I've got something. It's called evidence., In this case, evidence about you: No reasoning offered by you. No evidence offered by you. Nothing.
  22. Why share ideas with someone who lacks basic comprehension skills?
