Republicans announce investigation into Joe Biden !
placeholder replied to Social Media's topic in World News
This is how the Republicans on the House Committe for Oversight and Reform are justifying their investigation of the Biden family: “Republicans’ inquiry quickly established that few in the President’s extended family have failed to capitalize on their relationship with Joe Biden.” “From Valerie Biden Owens, the President’s ‘sister, confidante, and longtime political strategist,’ penning a book about the Biden family shortly after the inauguration to Francis ‘Frank’ Biden ‘promot[ing] his relationship to the commander-in-chief in an Inauguration Day advertisement for the law firm he advises[,]’ the Biden family’s monetization of the President’s time in Washington is well documented.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/18/fox-news-republicans-house-hunter-biden/ This is ridiculous. -
,Pretty simple. Russia was violating its contract by not sending gas. It could have been subject to enormous fines. But the sabotage of the pipeline means it can claim force majeur and so be absolved of liability.

Why is the UK struggling more than other countries?

Because some like facebook let you know. -
Remember that earlier case in Ohio? Where an 11 year old had to travel to Indiana to get an abortion. In the wake of the incident the Ohio governor asserted that the law clearly allowed for an 11 year old to get an abortion. When asked what about a 12 year old, no answer. As long as doctors face severe criminal penalties, these kinds of incidents will occur. In fact, as some state increase the severity of their anti-abortion laws, more women will pay a terrible price.

ObamaCare enrollment sign ups jump by 40 percent in 2022
placeholder replied to Scott's topic in World News
Because of Obamacare, the percentage of uninsured Americans is the lowest it's ever been. And if certain Republican states had authorized the Medicaid part of its program to function, there would be a lot more rural hospitals still open in those States. In every Republican state that had a referendum on whether or not to accept expanded medicaid, the measure passed. In some states Republicans try to support the decision of citizens either by raising the percentage threshold for approval or fighting the decision in the courts. They failed. -
The article said that Murkowski is less supportive of Trump then her main opponent. That is putting it mildly. Trump targeted her for defeat in his usual nasty way. But it certainly looks like she's going to win. Which is good news for Joe Biden and the Democrats since she will almost certainly vote to approve judges who are not supporters of the Dobbs decision. And also not shills for corporate interests unlike members of the present right wing majority.

In a deep red district she barely won. Does that tell you anything? -

Another arithmetically challenged comment. The EU economy is about 5 times the size of the UK. As a percentage of the various economies in the EU, each of them did far less trade with the UK than the UK did with the EU. -

I think the rule barring former govt officials from lobbying for foreign govts was the first executive order he signed. And possiblyit was the last one he negated. Maybe out of sympathy for his fellow grifters? -

William Barr appointed John Durham as special prosecutor to prove that the FBI was corrupt. Guess what? Durham failed. And it only took him 3 years to get there. -
Surprise! Fox News’ Violent Crime Coverage Plummets After Midterms

It's funny. In answer to SunnyinBangrak's claims one of the links I posted was to a Fox News report that said before the 2022 elections CNN produced a flurry of fact checks calling out misinformation Biden. Oddly enough, he didn't thank me for locating that. -

With whose armed forces are they going to win the war? -
And the US did take further steps after the Nordstream 2 was stopped. Steps that did not consist of sabotage of the pipelines. Nothing in what Biden said that in any way proves US responsibility for the sabotage.

I see you have no answer to the blatant lies told by Russia What Zelensky actuall said was he didn't think Russia would launch a war. You think that makes Zelensky dishonest? As for the Minsk accords, Russia maintained that it wasn't bound by them since it didn't have any troops in the Donbas. It is to laugh Got any more falsehoods to share with us?

Another argument against Biden's participation in his son's ventures is that why wouldn't China use that as blackmail to keep him in check? Biden has been far harder on China than Trump ever was. Keeping advanced chips out of China's hands is a major blow to China's economic development.
