Trump asks for roughly six-month delay in New York fraud case
placeholder replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
So members of the party where the majority are conspiracy theory supporters and even Qanon commands sizeable support, is likely to behave well in the event of death of Joe Biden? On what basis did you make that judgement? -
You sure about that? "Unlike ceremonial funerals, like the ones held for Princess Diana in 1997 and the Queen Mother in 2002, state funerals are funded by (as the name suggests) the state. Princess Di’s funeral cost the equivalent of around $11 million, or between £3 and £5 million pounds at the time. The Queen Mother’s cost around $9 million (£5.4 million), with the majority of that money spent on security." https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/queen-elizabeths-state-funeral-cost-151922672.html

Trump asks for roughly six-month delay in New York fraud case
placeholder replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Let me explain. On the one hand, you claim most people react in a dignified way in response to death.. On the other hand you make the claim that there will Dems will have a big celebratory party when Trump dies. Yet Donald Trump, the leader of the Republicans. made some rather nasty comments about the Colin Powell.when he died. And John McCain, also I forgot to include that one. In addition, what evidence do you have that Republicans will behave themselves should Biden die? Not only is their leader a foulmouthed so-and-so, but the accusations Republicans hurl at Biden could hardly be called temperate or indicative of a sober mien in response to his eventual death. -

Except, to your way of think, the Dems. "It Will be a big celebratory street party for the Dems when Trump dies ,' Because the Republican party is rife with dignified leaders starting right at the top: "Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media," Trump said in a statement. "Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO [Republican in Name Only], if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2021-10-19/trumps-response-to-powells-death-lays-bare-the-politics-of-mourning -
Judiciary Democrats go after GOP ‘whistleblowers’ in FBI probes
placeholder replied to Scott's topic in World News
What don't you understand about the fact that William Barr and John Durham Durham could find no evidence of any action inspired by animosity taken by the FBI or justice department against Trump. -
You sure about that? Cost of electricity vs. gasoline Here’s where EV owners win out. Going electric means you get to skip pricey trips to the pump, which is one of the biggest draws for making the switch. A 2018 study by the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute found that the average cost to fuel an electric car was $485 a year, compared to $1,117 for a gas-powered vehicle. A 2020 Consumer Reports study similarly showed that EV drivers tend to spend about 60 percent less each year on fuel costs compared to drivers of gas-powered cars. https://www.nrdc.org/stories/electric-vs-gas-it-cheaper-drive-ev Vast majority of EV batteries will outlast their vehicles: report A study of 21 electric vehicle models — and the introduction of an accompanying interactive tool — brings promising insights for real-world battery longevity New research released by Geotab measuring the battery life of 6,300 fleet and consumer electric vehicles has provided new insights regarding the lifespan of EV batteries. https://electricautonomy.ca/2019/12/17/vast-majority-of-ev-batteries-will-outlast-their-vehicles-report/ Electric Car Batteries Lasting Longer Than Predicted Delays Recycling Programs https://www.forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2022/08/01/electric-car-batteries-lasting-longer-than-predicted-delays-recycling-programs/?sh=4960eb1c5332

Finland starts construction of Russia border fence
placeholder replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I did find this but I doubt that's what you meant: Despite open threats from Russia, and possibly due to them, Finland has finally decided to join NATO, starting on May 15, 2022, the formal procedure for joining this military alliance. Moreover, some Finnish soldiers have openly ridiculed the Russians by inviting them to “… join 200,000 Russians who are already in Finland buried a few meters underground after your last attempt in 1939”. https://mezha.media/en/2022/05/17/underground-helsinki-is-one-of-the-reasons-why-finland-is-not-afraid-of-russia/ -
Finland starts construction of Russia border fence
placeholder replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I've found links to sources that say 200000 Russians have fled Russia, but not that all or even most have gone to Finland. I'm not saying it's not so, but can you provide a link for that? I did find in aa Reuters article dated Oct 6, 2022,that about 56,000 have fled to Finland. But linking to Reuters articles is forbidden. It does seem unlikely that almost another 150,000 have arrived since then. -

Well, I guess if you believe that sovereignty trumps the fact that Russia is waging a war against Ukraine, then the Finns are engaging in a sensible policy. If not, then they should be encouraging draftable Russian men to leave Russia. -

Why wouldn't one want Russians to flee? Especially young men of military age? I don't understand why the Finns are against this. -
I've got one that tops that: Crowd erupts in laughter at Russia's top diplomat after he claimed the Ukraine war 'was launched against us' A crowd laughed at Russia's top diplomat when he said the Ukraine war "was launched against us." An audience member at India's G20 summit shouted, "Come on!" at Sergey Lavrov during the event. He was answering a question about Russia's energy strategy moving forward. https://news.yahoo.com/crowd-erupts-laughter-russias-top-180331064.html

That certainly does look more formidable than a simple fence but as the US experience shows, not enough to deter desperate people if that's the only escape route available. -

Well, since the fence hasn't been described in detail, at least so far as I know, maybe it will take more than a pair of wire or bolt cutters to deal with it. If not, I believe those technological marvels are available in Russia. -
Turkey isn't much of a substitute for Europe. And there are already huge fields being developed off of Israel in addition to what's already being produced there.

What do you mean by "proto-humans"? Who are you quoting? The "proto" in this context would mean "primitive". Do you believe that? -

You really think a simple fence is going to stop desperate people? Unless it's heavily patrolled where has that worked?
