I did it out of consideration for you, just that once, since I know that you are allergic to actual provable matters of fact. But once is enough. How Trump Made War on Angela Merkel and Europe The German Chancellor and other European leaders have run out of patience with the President. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/12/24/how-trump-made-war-on-angela-merkel-and-europe

You kind of left out one tiny little detail in relation to Minsk 2: "A major blockage has been Russia’s insistence that it is not a party to the conflict and therefore is not bound by its terms." https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/9/what-is-the-minsk-agreement-and-why-is-it-relevant-now

Has has been repeatedly pointed out elsewhere, it was the defeatist agreement signed by the Trump administration that led to the disaster in Afghanistan. As for Trump uniting NATO Nations. He repeatedly insulted that the leaders of the two most powerful countries in NATO: France and Germany.

He may have been the father of the Constitution, but he was clearly also a flaming woke liberal.

Yes, He did such a terrible job uniting the NATO nations against the Russian invasion. We know from his record how brilliant his predecessor is at achieving unity.

Peter Strzok was being punished for expressing opinions. Not for his performance at work. Strzok claims that FBI agents who voiced pro-Trump sentiments were not disciplined. Strzok was part of an elite group that was investigating the Trump campaign before the election. News of the investigation was not leaked. If Strzok had really wanted to use his position at the FBI to damage Trump, all he would have had to do was leak work of the investigation.

Actually, your comments smacks of creepy repression on your part. What is creepy about a general question about sexuality? Nothing in Credo's post even hints that he was asking his granddaughter about herself.

Just think of me as your guardian angel.

One thing that's interesting in a graph from the article is how the percentage of people who say they gay or bisexual his risen steadily over the generations. So the so-called "sllent generation", the generation older than boomers, reported 1.7%. Whereas Generation Z reported 19.7%.

What isn't mentioned here but was in the NY Times was that there was another rail car carrying ethylene glycol that was of the reinforced kind. It didn't burst.

It's not just about brakes. Far from it. YEARS BEFORE EAST PALESTINE DISASTER, CONGRESSIONAL ALLIES OF THE RAIL INDUSTRY INTERVENED TO BLOCK SAFETY REGULATIONS The Obama-era railroad regulations also included a rule to use freight cars made of special reinforced materials for the transport of oil and hazardous materials, as the New York Times reported. Of the freight cars that derailed earlier this month, three were of the stronger type and were not breached, while one of the freight cars carrying propylene glycol that did not have the enhanced protections was breached. https://theintercept.com/2023/02/21/east-palestine-rail-safety-congress/

Yes. If one thing distinguished Trump it his compassion for all Americans in the wake of a disaster.. For example: New probe confirms Trump officials blocked Puerto Rico from receiving hurricane aid The Trump administration also obstructed an investigation looking into why it was depriving the U.S. territory of congressionally approved funds, the report found. The administration of former President Donald Trump obstructed an investigation looking into why officials withheld about $20 billion in hurricane relief for Puerto Rico following the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017, one of the deadliest U.S. natural disasters in over 100 years, a new report says. A Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General report made public Thursday also found that tensions between the department and the Office of Management and Budget resulted in unprecedented procedural hurdles that produced delays in the disbursement of the congressionally approved funds. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/new-probe-confirms-trump-officials-blocked-puerto-rico-receiving-hurri-rcna749 Trump told senators he thinks Puerto Rico got too much funding compared to mainland states. Two weeks after a “bomb cyclone” storm, the American Midwest is still underwater. The South is still reeling from storms and hurricanes months later. And an ongoing disaster is still underway in Puerto Rico, which experienced the deadliest natural disaster in US history in 2017’s Hurricane Maria. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/3/29/18285367/congress-disaster-relief-trump-puerto-rico

"Obviously FOX can't or won't publish all 40,000 hours, but all videos can be loaded online for all to access in the interest of transparency." Fox has nothing to do with the selection. Fox will be showing the videos that Carlson selects. As for "edit" I mean cut and paste. These cameras record videos continuously. So unless Carlsion planning to show unedited feeds, which, according to you won't happen, then the act of editing is altering. Do I really have to explain to you how that works? And, of course, we have the evidence of Carlson's commitment to objectivity from his earlier "documentary" which claimed govt agents of various stripes were behind the Jan 6 invasion of the Capitol. And why would anyone believe that when the J6 committee members point out any falsehoods or misleading editing that might occur, that Republicans will believe them? After all, most still believe, despite the overwhelming evidence against it, that the 2020 elections were stolen.

Because we can count on Carlson not to selectively edit those videos? The guy who successfully defended himself in court by claiming what he said shouldn't be considered factual? The guy who already put together a video about January 6th and made demonstrably false claims? That guy?

And to continue in that vein: 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=12 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=13 12 is greater than 11. Yet somehow 13 is greater than 12? Amazing!

This is brilliant! The guy who successfully defended himself in court on the grounds that no one should believe what he says, has been exclusive access to all the footage. What's he going to do with it? Make another debunked documentary? .

Often, not always. And in a case like this where clearly lies were told about the presence of unauthorized documents on the premises, it makes sense to go after the guy who drafted the letter to the Justice Dept that claimed a diligent search was done to see if there were any more unauthorized documents and none were found. That guy was Even Corcoran. That lawyer was obviously exposing himself to a world of hurt. Before the search warrant was issued, Justice Dept reps had asked to open the box that was ultimately found to contain the documents. Trump's agents refused to give permission.

“There may be some names on that list that you wouldn’t expect,” Emily Kohrs, the forewoman, told CNN on Tuesday of the recommended indictments. “But the big name that everyone keeps asking me about — I don’t think you will be shocked.” https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2023/02/22/ga--grand-jury-forewoman-suggests--the-big-name--on-list-of-recommended-indictments

I'm sure that your comment made sense to you. And that you of all people would accuse somebody else of deflection betrays a certain lack of self knowledge on your part. Aren't you the person who raised the 50 year old issue of Vietnam in this very threat?

*Deleted post edited out* Oh, well, if State Counsellor Wang Yi denies it, then it must be so. I can remember that several months before the Russian invasion ...er...special military operation, the Biden administration insisted that Russia was planning to invade Ukraine. But they shouldn't have worried about that because... Russian MFA says Russia won’t invade Ukraine, blames US for ‘aggressive plans’ https://tass.com/politics/1400517 Joe Biden must have felt really foolish on February 24, 2022.

Here are some of the results of a poll that examined the issue of Christian Nationalism. https://www.prri.org/research/a-christian-nation-understanding-the-threat-of-christian-nationalism-to-american-democracy-and-culture/

Keep in mind that these loons are Michigan Republicans. The same party the elected Kristina Karamo to be its head. The new chair of the Michigan Republican Party is a prominent election denier, but she also has quite a few concerns about "demonic possession." As regular readers might recall, Karamo has also spread Jan. 6 conspiracy theories, rejected vaccines, derided transgender women, condemned evolutionary biology, and suggested cohabitation before marriage opens the door to normalizing pedophilia. Late last week, ahead of Saturday’s balloting, the Michigan Republican spoke to a group of supporters and reiterated her concerns about “demonic forces.” https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/new-gop-chair-battleground-state-isnt-just-election-denier-rcna71438

Putin with his claims of Nazis leading the Ukraine, and you with your insinuations of electoral fraud. As far as baselessness goes, I think it's a tie.

Actually, she's the forewoman of a special grand jury. A special grand jury can't indict anybody. It can recommend to a grand jury that it indict people.

Yes, all carnage. Unemployment at a 53 year low. Strong economic growth. The horror! The horror!
