Far-Right Election Denier Beats Trump’s Pick in Michigan
placeholder replied to Scott's topic in World News
Here's something that was included in this article which was based on excerpts taken from the Washington Post's article. "In a Thursday speech to a right-wing “patriot” group in nearby Charlotte, Karamo argued that Christianity belonged at the core of American politics, called evolution “one of the biggest frauds ever perpetuated on society,” and asserted the existence of demons. “When we start talking about the spiritual reality of the demonic forces, it’s like, ‘Oh, my God, this is crazy, we can’t go there,’” Karamo said." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/18/michigan-gop-chair-karamo-trump/ -
Ukraine war: Russia must be defeated but not crushed, Macron says
placeholder replied to Scott's topic in The War in Ukraine
Clearly, Macron wasn't referring to the French doing it, or, rather, not doing it, by themselves. That said, given the wretched performance of the Russian armed forces, in a non-nuclear war, I suspect that France by itself would easily give Russian armed forces a whooping. -
Well, if you can see that it was prudent, how to justify not doing the same to Italian Americans who, like Japanese Americans were also overwhelmingly immigrants or their children? And there were a whole lot more of them. Clearly, the reason the Japanese were locked up was because of racism.

I got some exciting news for you. The 3 countries cited, Moldova, Georgia, and Kosovo , are not members of the EU. As for the EU being a mess, really? Are the nations that are members of the EU in some kind of economic freefall. Public support for the EU has risen sharply. Even the nationalist parties that used to advocate withdrawing from the EU have changed their tune.

It's clear that you haven't read what you originally wrote. You justified this law because it was democratically passed. As I will point out again most likely to no avail, that in itself is no justification for the law. And your disquisition about how amendments to the Constitution can be amended is utterly irrelevant to the issue at question.

The puppet is something that is controlled by pulling strings. Who pulled Carter's strings? Reagan's were obviously pulled by the wealthy. Tax cuts for the wealthy were massive. It was promised that they would pay for themselves via boosts to the economy which would generate increased tax revenue. Instead, big deficits f.ollowed.

I think you're confusing him with his successor whose strings clearly were pulled by corporations and the wealthy.

What you clearly don't understand is that the USA is a constitutional democracy. The 1st Amendment guarantees the right to freedom of speech. So basing your argument on the fact that these restrictions were voted into law by a majority, is not a valid defense. If it were a valid defense, then it would be okay for legislatures to restrict or ban any kind of speech they chose to.

Brexit: What can we expect from an NI Protocol deal?

Well given that Ireland has a much healthier economy than the UK, that would improve the UK's economic statistics a bit. -
Sounds like a very rational kind of guy: 'Unfreedom Of The Press' Is Full Of Bombast And Bile On his show, Levin speaks in the unmistakable tenor of a man experiencing road rage or shouting at a customer service representative. In a recent episode, he yelled at an absent Beto O'Rourke ("Nobody likes a weak man, Beto...Nobody likes a weak man like you."), attacked Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's looks ("her eyeballs are popping out of her head, like ping pong balls."), called Sen. Mitt Romney an "ass," and Sen. Dick Blumenthal a "pathetic, loathsome liar." The media didn't escape his invective either, from CNN's Brian Stelter ("that little creep") to MSNBC's "whole conga line of freaks working its way right up to Rachel Mad Cow." https://www.npr.org/2019/05/21/724983201/unfreedom-of-the-press-is-full-of-bombast-and-bile

European allies vow more support for Kyiv at security meet

Because Russia can definitely be trusted to respect the new borders? It's not like they would find some pretext to start a war.. I mean special military operation...like claiming that Ukraine is ruled by Nazis? -
Spy at UK's Berlin embassy jailed for selling secrets to Russia

Among other things, last time I checked the UK was still a member of NATO. -
A lie is a falsehood made by someone who knows it is false. There is no evidence that she knew it was false. Also, as Heybruce pointed out, this happened 2 years ago. At least as recently as early January, Tucker Carlson was still engaging in defending vaccination quackery. Given the huge amount of scientific evidence that has been accumulated since Maddow made her comment, if Carlson isn't lying, then he should be fired for cluelessness.

They aren't just ideas, though, are they? They are actual accomplishments.
