What don't you understand about the fact the William Barr and John Durham set about precisely to prove that there was anti-Trump bias in the Justice dept and that they failed miserably to find it? Those 2 clowns publicly disagreed with the Inspector General's report that political bias played no role in the investigation of Trump. And because members of the House are elected therefore they are more trustworthy? Because they don't have a political agenda? Clearly, you are an inhabitant of Oppositeworld.

Go ahead, Give this piece of info your best shot. I defy any Trumpist to prove that this was a Democratic scandal. "The Teapot Dome scandal was a political corruption scandal in the United States involving the administration of President Warren G. Harding. It centered on Interior Secretary Albert B. Fall, who had leased Navy petroleum reserves at Teapot Dome in Wyoming, as well as two locations in California, to private oil companies at low rates without competitive bidding.[1] The leases were the subject of an investigation by Senator Thomas J. Walsh. Convicted of accepting bribes from the oil companies, Fall became the first presidential cabinet member to go to prison, but no one was convicted of paying the bribes." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teapot_Dome_scandal Someone has to be very ignorant of American history not to know about this.

Not necessary as a defense since there is no good evidence that Joe Biden participated in any criminal scheme.

The FBI shouldn't have released the laptop since there was no good evidence of a crime contained in it. In fact, even if there was such evidence, it shouldn't have been released until charges were brought.

Apart from the likelihood that Trump's economic agenda will fail miserably, you're saying that nationalism = fascism?

How many times do I have to shoot down your claims? Comer cited three “direct monthly payments to Joe Biden from Hunter Biden’s business entity” as evidence that Joe Biden profited from a deal Hunter Biden made with a Chinese energy company. But Hunter Biden’s attorney said the payments — which totaled a little over $4,000 — simply reflect Hunter Biden repaying his father, who bought him a truck while Hunter was in the throes of drug and alcohol addiction. That explanation appears to be corroborated by emails obtained from Hunter Biden’s laptop, as reported by the New York Post last year. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/12/gop-misleading-claims-in-biden-impeachment-investigation/ The laptop the keeps on exonerating Joe Biden, Ironical,no? I never claimed that the laptop had no metadata. Quite the opposite What I have written is that Guiliani refused to share the metadata that could have confirmed the veracity of the laptop. All he had to do was provide a complete copy of all the documents. He refused NBC's request. "The lack of major new revelations is perhaps the biggest reason the story has not gotten traction, but not the only one. Among others: Most mainstream news organizations, including NBC News, have not been granted access to the documents. NBC News asked by email, text, phone call and certified mail, and was ultimately denied." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/here-s-what-happened-when-nbc-news-tried-report-alleged-n1245533 In hindsight, it's clear why Giuliani and company waited until it was nearly election day before releasing the contents of the laptop. They had it for months before selectively releasing the contents. There was nothing on it that showed criminal or even improper activity on the part of Joe Biden. So there was just enough time to raise a scandal but not enough to thoroughly refute allegations of criminality.

The United States exports more than $44 billion per year in education and accompanying services. This is more revenue than any other category of services: more than travel services, more than business services, more than financial services, and many multiples of computer, health, and legal services. In fact, education raises more revenue from foreign countries than all but a handful of categories of American goods and commodities, only slightly less than pharmaceuticals and far more than iron and steel, plastics, furniture, dairy products, and even soybeans. https://archive.ph/8sM98

Just paramilitary forces like the SA and the SS. A benevolent fun-loving group of guys who like nothing better than a good party scene like Kristallnacht.

Because respecting the Constitution was part of the globalist agenda?

Well, what do you expect. Fox News is owned by that arch-Marxist Rupert Murdoch.

The United States has already struck 200 trade deals, President Donald Trump said in an interview this week — but he refused to say with whom. Trump’s comments come just two weeks after he announced a 90-day pause on most of the sweeping global tariffs he imposed earlier this month to allow time for trade negotiations with hundreds of countries slugged by the punishing levies. Only China was exempted from the 90-day pause. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/25/trump-200-trade-deals-time-interview-trade-war-tariffs-00309294 And in a similar foray into the improbable... Trump reiterates that he spoke with China's Xi, offers no details WASHINGTON, April 25 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said he had spoken with Chinese President Xi Jinping numerous times but did not say when the two leaders last talked or what topics they discussed. Asked whether he has spoken with Xi since enacting his tariff plan, Trump told reporters: "I don't want to comment on that, but I've spoken to him numerous times." Trump's comments came shortly after TIME magazine published an interview that quoted the Republican president as saying that Xi had called him. https://archive.ph/8xJ1z

Some intellecx Whether or not the label applies to Trump, why should it matter what someone believes so long as their actions fit the description?

Thanks for the whataboutism.

The house committee that has raised these allegations is the same one that repeatedly insisted it had proof that Joe Biden had profited from the activities of Hunter Biden. How did that turn out?

Now you're just gaslighting. Show where you gave a percentage or even an amount of how much was recycled.

Thanks to you and Umberto Eco for killing my belief that I had any useful answer to offer.

Why did you ignore the question of how much of the USA rare earths currently comes from recyclers? Deflecting much?

The point I was making is that reducing an article to "orange man bad" is just an obvious way of deflecting the facts and arguments presented.

It may not be a huge problem but what percentage of rare earths are contributed by recyclers now?

You're the party who unnecessarily invoked reserve currency as an issue re: trade balance. I'm party who pointed out that it was irrelevant by noting that it was irrelevant because there are other nations that run trade deficits. And now you're pretending that I need explained to me what I pointed out to you? Sad. I mentioned economic models because once you launched into obscurantism by invoking all sorts of things that don't really affect the trade balance model. And yes, it's a model and a useful one. And if you understand that it's a model then you don't need to start referring to other less relevant considerations. At least, you're not now claiming Trump understands. As for Navarro, who knows and who cares? He's not the one calling the shots. At least with him there would be consistency.

So was that a CGI image that gave the State of the Union Message? Who I've seen repeatedly say the same falsehoods?

The United States is a constitutional democracy. Just because someone gets elected to be President doesn't mean they get to ignore the Constitution or duly enacted laws.

More Pareto nonsense.

That's what Trump campaigned on: Self-awareness and abnegation of wordly pleasures.

Nobody lies with the amazing frequency of Trump. And nobody persists in repeating those lies like Trump. At least I hope they are lies. There is the scary possibility, maybe even the likelihood that he believes what he invents.
