  1. Nice try at deflection. You are vilifying Joe Biden because of the behavior of one of his four children and a few relatives. That stinks.
  2. The funny thing is, that Biden has long had a propensity to make gaffes. And yet, now, this propensity is being used to diagnose him as suffering from dementia. The hallmark of dementia is a major change in personality. Yet Biden is being consistent with his past behavior.
  3. I don't use nasty, invalid methods to tarnish someone the way you do.. And who said I've defended Hunter Biden? Even now, you can't help but engage in falsehoods. And as proof of your moral bankruptcy, you have no answer for the way Joe Biden's other kids turned out or why their lives don't reflect favorably upon him.
  4. More nonsense from you. Can you specify exactly what illegal thing Biden did when he told the Ukranian govt that if it didn't fire a blatantly corrupt prosecutor it would receive no money? What don't you understand that Biden was acting as an emissary of the United States and the decision to pressure Ukraine to fire Shokin had the backing of the State Dept, the President and the EU? And, to date, there has been absolutely no valid evidence that Joe Biden received a nickel via participation in Hunter Biden's activities.
  5. I wouldn't tar your family even though the comments you make are indicative of a certain lack of moral decency.. Apparently, Joe Biden is guilty of something because of the conduct of some other members of his family. I see you have nothing to offer to contravene that Biden has 3 other children against whom on taint of scandal has surfaced. So why is Hunter's conduct proof of some flaw and/or criminality in Joe Biden's case?
  6. More nonsense from you. Trump was already clearly in violation of the law once he refused the National Archives call to return the documents. Yet they negotiated with him for months and months. In fact, the National Archives only called on the Justice Dept when they learned that Trump was in possession of classified materials. What kind of misguided arrogance does it take would refuse such a request? What's more... Lawyer's notes show Trump was warned FBI could search Mar-a-Lago: report https://www.axios.com/2023/09/06/trump-classified-documents-mar-a-lago-fbi-search
  7. It's just more red nasty meat for fools to munch on.
  8. Such a foolish comment. Yeah, that Beau Biden. Served honorably in the military and had a very distinguished career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beau_Biden And what have you got on Biden's daughters? And Biden is somehow responsible for the problems of his niece? You've plumbed new and clueless depths.
  9. Your remark is utterly clueless. As the graphs I posted show, Trump's policies made no discernible difference to the economic trends that preceded his Presidency. Exactly how do you construe that to mean I endorse Trump's record or the reactionary and fact-free babbling of Mike Rowe?
  10. More empty generalizations and right wing cant. You've got nothing.
  11. What make you think I am offering support for his alleged accomplishments?
  12. Please share with us that people who enganged in gender studies constitute a significant percentage of those who are still paying off their student loans. Just another flagrantly ridiculous claim.
  13. "commingling fund"? Really? This is a legal term in cases where some administrator who has fiduciary responsiblity for someone's funds, uses those funds in some other account. Typically their own. What does this have to do with the Bidens? And the nonsense about Biden being a willing beneficiary? Another use of legalistic sounding language that has no bearing on criminality. His son contributes fairly modest sums to the upkeep of a property somehow makes a Biden a somehow criminally responsible for how those monies were earned? More nonsense.
  14. Also, while this is good news for the supply of lithium, there are other batteries in the works that won't use lithium at all. It's likely that ultimately lithium will just prove to be a bridge to other lithium free batteries. One such battery that may one day replace lithium is the aluminum sulfur battery. https://news.mit.edu/2022/aluminum-sulfur-battery-0824
  15. It's also a matter of comparative harm. What does more harm? Extracting lithium or extracting fossil fuels? Fossil fuels do harm twice. First in their extraction and then in their combustion. And their combustion is harmful both to human health and in it's contribution to climate change. Lithium for EVs is now recyclable. What's more, the quality of recycled lithium carbonate is actually superior to the chemical when used for the first time. In addition to which, new less harmful ways of extracting lithium are being developed.
  16. That will be an interesting argument to bring into court? And what about Beau Biden? Who served honorably in the military and had a distinguished career? And what of Biden's daughters? Or do you believe that the virtues or vices of a father are only passed on to male offspring? But thanks for the ridiculous comment.
  17. What evidence is there on that laptop? As for Hunter Biden receiving payments from the wife of a Russian mayor. When that payment was made, this wife of a deceased ex-Russian mayor had been living in the UK for years. And the reason for that is she and her husband were on the outs with Putin and the Russian govt. In fact, the Russian govt. has issued an arrest warrant for her. As for Hunter Biden not being prosecuted on gun charges. Historically, these charges have rarely been pursued by the govt.
  18. Because oil production went up that means that Trump was responsible? https://www.macrotrends.net/2562/us-crude-oil-production-historical-chart oil production was going up well before Trump took office.
  19. What have I said that shows hatred of Trump? What's more you accused me of having my rationality affected by my hatred of Trump. I guess if you have little respect for rationality, that would explain why you think it's no big deal. Since you have indulged so much in speculation, although you don't acknowledge it as such, let me speculate that the person actually acting out of emotion is you. How else to explain an irrational personal attack from you except as stemming from an emotional reaction on your part?
  20. Fukushima: China's anger at Japan is fuelled by disinformation A report by a UK-based data analysis company called Logically, which aims to fight misinformation, claims that since January, the Chinese government and state media have been running a coordinated disinformation campaign targeting the release of the waste water. As part of this, mainstream news outlets in China have continually questioned the science behind the nuclear waste water discharge. The rhetoric has only increased since the water was released on 24 August, stoking public anger https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-66667291

  22. The only radioactive substance in the water that's being released is tritium. It actually is found in higher concentrations in water released by Chinese nuclear power plants. Japan Faces Criticism Over Fukushima Wastewater Release "Despite its criticism of Japan's actions at Fukushima, at least four Chinese nuclear power plants also release water containing tritium into the ocean, all of them at significantly greater concentrations than in Fukushima... Other countries with nuclear power plants that release tritium include South Korea, France, Russia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. There is no clear evidence that tritium-containing water has caused environmental damage or posed a danger to humans or wildlife in the areas where it has been released, in some cases for decades." https://www.voanews.com/a/japan-faces-criticism-over-fukushima-wastewater-release/7259367.html#:~:text=Other countries release tritium&text=Despite its criticism of Japan's,greater concentrations than in Fukushima.
  23. I think most likely it would be impossible to make a legal case of corruption against Kushner and Mnuchin. Certainly, it's ethically corrupt. And such arrangements ought to be made illegal.
  24. The same nonsense from you again. The only radioactive substance in the water that's being released is tritium. It actually is found in higher concentrations in water released by Chinese nuclear power plants.

  25. Keep in mind that Jared Kushner, unlike Hunter Biden, was an actual government official whose special purview was the Middle East where he was in close communication, with MBS, the defacto leader of Saudi Arabia. Kushner consistently defended MbS conduct. In addition, Kushner's family was nearly bankrupted by a terrible investment made by Kushner. They were bailed out at least in part (most of the details of the deal are hidden) by a major investment from the government of Qatar. A deal which made absolutely no business sense. Kusher also had extensive official dealings with the government of Qatar. And despite Kushner's disastrous investment history, he received 2 billion dollars from the Saudis, even though the Saudi investment advisors recommended against it. The Saudis only gave 1 billion to Peter Mnuchin, the former Secretary Treasurer, even though he's an experienced investor with a long record of successful investments.
