  1. Can you share with us what your criteria are that determine whether or not a country is or was great? Do you have any examples of countries that are or were great to share with us?
  2. Really? STUDY: Watching Only Fox News Makes You Less Informed Than Watching No News At All They found that someone who watched only Fox News would be expected to answer 1.04 domestic questions correctly compared to 1.22 for those who watched no news at all. Those watching only "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" answered 1.42 questions correctly and people who only listened to NPR or only watched Sunday morning political talk shows answered 1.51 questions correctly. https://www.businessinsider.com/study-watching-fox-news-makes-you-less-informed-than-watching-no-news-at-all-2012-5
  3. A looming crisis is brewing in China, as hundreds of thousands of unsold, polluting gas-powered vehicles may be rendered unsellable due to incoming emissions rules. It’s another sign that the global auto industry isn’t ready for the shift to EVs and will be caught unawares if it doesn’t ramp EV production fast enough. The new Chinese emissions rules were announced all the way back in 2016 and are set to go into effect in July. https://electrek.co/2023/04/01/ice-car-values-plummet-in-china-and-it-is-the-canary-in-the-coal-mine/
  4. He had a hugely successful first 2 years despite the fact that the Democrats had the slimmest of edges in the Senate. You may disapprove of the bills that got passed, but they were big accomplishments.
  5. And if they were legal, then they would be working for at least minimum wage with overtime rules in effect. So less grounds for alleged displacement of workers. Although it's dubious that many native-born Americans would want to do the backbreaking work that constitutes so much a part of agriculture. And in slaughterhouses, too.
  6. This is the issue that supporters of the wall repeatedly avoid. If criminal penalties including imprisonment were to be legislated aganst employers who hire undocumented aliens, then we would see a sharp decline in undocumented immigrants entering the United States. But the dirty not-so-secret secret is that much of the US economy depends on undocumented aliens. And employers like it that way because undocumented workers are far less likely to seek legal recourse in case they are being mistreated or cheated by their employers. And when have Republicans ever gone after the ruling class of the business world?
  7. So, to your way of thinking, ratings are how to determine whether something is factual or not?
  8. "BIden's whole family should be being investigated. - money from China - direct link proven" From the landing page of the World Forum: "Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source." "NO prosecutions what so ever for BLM riots !" From the landing page of the World Forum: "Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source."
  9. And even if the B.S. you are claming is true, what's stopping you from offering up fact-based reporting to bolster your assertions about election irregularities. And in point of fact, to cite a very recent I recently replied to a poster who challenged my assertions about David Weiss and the investigation of Hunter Biden. What in my reply did you deem to be merely based on opinion and not grounded in facts? What you want is license to claim as fact whatever you believe without being required to provide proof. There are plenty of forums for that. Just not this one. Put up or...
  10. No they link to fact-based reporting which are deemed to be credible sources including Fox News. The fact is that you've got no credible sources. That over and over again the courts and actual recounts have proven that claims like yours are false. You've got nothing.
  11. Can you please share with us the objective measure that was used to calibrate "the level of vitriol posted at Trump." And while you're at it, can you use that same measure to calibrate the level of vitriol that Trump has posted at various persons during and after his Presidency? Obviously, your post here is just another B.S. piece of deflection.
  12. To back up your claim with evidence. That's what honorable people do.
  13. Your question clearly establishes how fact-proof is the new bubble you inhabit. There's a saying that attorneys in a court shouldn't ask questions they don't know already the answer to. Because it's very embarrassing. Maybe you're embarrassment-proof? Here's something from the Marxists at Fox News: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hunter-biden-investigation-ag-garland-taking-hands-off-approach-leaves-charging-decisions-weiss And from the Maoists at the Washington Times: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/mar/1/merrick-garland-says-delaware-us-attorney-david-we/ And here's a bit of general informatIon: "On February 15, 2018, his nomination to be the United States Attorney was confirmed by voice vote. He was sworn in on February 22, 2018. Weiss has been in charge of the investigations into the financial dealings of Hunter Biden and was asked to stay on during the Biden administration.[4]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_C._Weiss#:~:text=He currently serves as the,Attorney from 2009 to 2011. And now that I've complied with your request, I am confident that you will do the honorable thing and comply with mine, I await your response with eagerness. EDIT: Well, it looks like 2009 has fled the scene. What a crucifix is to a vampire, facts are to Trump supporters.
  14. Because it's an uninformed question based on a misconception. And it's compounded by the fact that we're in a thread that was based on a misleading premise.. Instead of asking us to inform you about the concept, why not look it up for yourself? Via a thing called google. or maybe GPIChat...
  15. And there would just as good or as little a reason to raise a similar question if the indictments had occurred before Trump kicked off his campaign viz... "Is it a genuine coincidence that these charges have come a few days before Trump begins his election campaign? .Were these charges advanced to spoil the official launching? (Advising me to drink "Kool -aid" isn't an acceptable reply)"
  16. The sad thing is, I can't tell whether or not thaibeachlovers is making a joke.
  17. There's a difference between an inadvertent error and a deliberate one.
  18. Can you please share with us the evidence of hundreds of crimes. In fact, there's nothing in that laptop tha is sufficient evidence of any crime But hundreds? Stop making things up.
  19. You're the one who claimed that his being released to a halfway house established his innocence. That the court believed it. There is nothing in Chanseley's incarceration treatment that was unusual or that justifies your assertion.. As the comments in the article you cited made clear. You are the one making things up.
  20. An emergency situation that turned out to be mostly a false alarm led a lot of schools in Los Angeles to install air filters, and something strange happened: Test scores went up. By a lot. And the gains were sustained in the subsequent year rather than fading away. https://www.vox.com/2020/1/8/21051869/indoor-air-pollution-student-achievement
  21. I'm assuming that you are referring to the burisma "scandal". As has been repeatedly proven, Joe Biden was acting on the instructions of none other than the president of the United States and the state department in pushing for the removal of a corrupt prosecutor who later claimed that he was pursuing burisma. His own staff says that was a lie. In fact, he wasn't going after any of the oligarchs including the owners of burisma.
  22. If he flipped. A New York Times appears to say that he hasn't flipped. For one thing, even though Weisselberg switched lawyers, the Trump Organization is still paying for them. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/30/nyregion/allen-weisselberg-trump-hush-money.html
