  1. When Amy Chua is talking about raising her kids the Chinese way she's talking about a method. She isn't claiming that ethnic chinese have morally higher standards,. Her husband is an American. The children are half white. (unless someone's standards are anti-semitic in which case they're half Jewish) She's promoting a method that anyone can adopt. She isn't claiming on the basis of race that Chinese kids are smarter or, for that matter, fight more honorably than do other races. Whereas, to Carlson, the salient point is race. Are you suggesting that race is a method? Something people have a choice about?
  2. You're the one who used the phrase "the biden cabal". "A cabal is a secret plot, or a small group of people who create such a plot. Some conspiracy theories are based on the idea that governments worldwide are in the hands of a powerful cabal." https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/cabal
  3. Apparently, he believes that other races have a lower standard for how they fight. Otherwise why invoke race at all? As for your reference to Thai men, I haven't heard such a thing but anyway that's about nationality not race. A comparable comment from Carlson would have been he didn't believe that Americans could fight like that. It might be just as tendentious, but it wouldn't be racist. It seems Carlson considers himself white first and, at best, an American second.
  4. In addition to battery, Trump is also being sued for defamation.
  5. By trying not to be disrespectful, you managed to post something entirely irrelevant to the topic.
  6. He's a sincere person? He excoriated Trump in his private messages. Given what he said about Trump publicly, is that the mark of sincere person? Apparently, you believe that a sincere person can also be two-faced.
  7. First off, that was a summer job when school wasn't in session. And if you read the article in its entirety, it removes any limitations on the number of hours 16 and 17 year olds are allowed to work. Basically what this bill is about is keeping the wages of adult workers low.
  8. Once again, as has repeatedly been pointed out to you, just because some foreign business people believe that, as in their countries, family connections count in government decisions, that doesn't mean that it's the case. It may have been sleazy for some Bidens to trade on that belief, but that doesn't mean it's criminal. And your bad faith in commenting on this is exemplified by your constant use of the phrase the "biden family.". Some Bidens does not equal the Biden family.
  9. I wasn't aware that the Justice Dept is conducting an ongoing investigation of this matter.
  10. And how do you know that there hasn't been a thorough investigation?
  11. Really? Comments posted on this forum are supposed to be exempt from analysis and criticism? There's an awful lot of history against you. Oh no...I've just criticized another comment of yours...
  12. What evidence do you have that I am not being patient? You've got nothing. Whereas the right wingers here have already jumped to conclusions and offer dubious conspiratorial characterizations like the "biden cabal". Clearly, you're just another conspiracy theorist.
  13. Because it's the "biden fan club" members who are rushing to judgement? Your post is just another comment from an alternative universe.
  14. And I didn't like the way Game of Thrones ended. But the difference between you and me is that I know what is fantasy and what isn't.
  15. Like the 2020 elections being stolen?
  16. The jury got to watch excertps including one in which he told the lawyer questioning him that she was not his type. The super genius strikes again.
  17. That Chinese energy company that paid them, CEFC was looking to do business in the USA. Its boss is now in detention in China on charges of corruption and the company is defunct. Please define what you mean by "affiliated"? And has been pointed out to you many times. the problem with the reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop, is that no investigation was conducted by the NY Post before publishing the info. The reporter they originally assigned to write it up refused to do so because of that. Rudolph Giuliani refused to share metadata with journalists that could have established the legitimacy of the provenance of the laptop.
  18. Trump was not denied the opportunity to testify. His attorneys declined to put him on the stand. That said, the judge indicated that he would be willing to consider allowing Trump to testify despite the lateness of the hour. But if Trump's deposition is anything to go by, I doubt his attorneys would actually want to put him on the stand. Unless they believe that their case has gone so badly that they feel they have nothing to lose. Just my speculation.
  19. I wonder if Thomas claimed his nephew as a dependent to the IRS.
  20. And how do you know the charge against Biden hasn't been investigated? As for taking their time in the Mar a Lago case, there's a lot of evidence to process and they're still taking depositions from Trump's staff.
  21. Which "foreign adversaries were paying up to 12 member of the Biden clan"? Stop making things up.
  22. Will they have a lot of explaining to do if they did investigate that accusation? And what is it with you right wingers. As far as we know there is one accusation, not "accusations". And 2 "if"s in one sentence. Kind of tendentious, no?
  23. You asked a question. I answered it. Stop trying to deflect.
