Trump has claimed falsely that the area where he stored the documents was approved of by the govt. Not true. It was rather the least bad place to store them. Now it turns out he purposely had the documents moved from that place to his living quarters. Seems like a slam dunk for obstruction of justice as well as theft of govt documents.

The DOJ under the previous administration investigated Hunter Biden for almost 3 years. Almost 2 of those years were under William Barr, perhaps the most highly politically partisan attorney general ever in modern times Yet the DOJ found nothing to tie Joe Biden to his son.

Avoid being convicted for tax evasion, not for possessing a weapon.

New York City declares state of emergency over migrant 'crisis situation'

Curses on the USMCA, that toothless replacement for NAFTA, and whoever was responsible for it. -
As that expert pointed out, in criminal tax cases, it has to be proved that someone knew they were violating the law. It's actually a pretty tough bar to clear. And as that article pointed out, that may be why they're not going after Hunter Biden on the weapon charge. Of course, it could be that those lefties at the NY Post are purposely misreporting the facts.

New York City declares state of emergency over migrant 'crisis situation'

You mean if the borders aren't protected the US will stop winning the drug war? Oh no! As for undocumented aliens, if the US was serious about keeping them out, all it would have to do is enact laws that severely punish people who employ them. But too many industries depend on them. So maybe the system is working as it should. Make it difficult enough to keep out the less fit, but relaxed enough to let potential workers in. -

Enough with the trolling already. My explanation is perfectly clear. -

Are you seriously asserting that undocumened workers began with the Biden administration? Previous administrations have mostly avoided doing anything serious about the situation. Florida has decided that violations are so serious that a business owner can be fined up to $500. You know how many violations have been issued? None. -

I should have written but didn't was that the drugs or being shipped along with legitimate goods rather than the shipping themself was legitimate. Doesn't change the fact that drugs are not coming over mostly via drug mules but rather along with manufactured goods. And if it didn't make economic sense for undocumented aliens to pay smugglers to transport them over, then there wouldn't be a business. And the only way it would make economic sense is for these people to be earning many times over what it costs for transport. -
A pity you didn't actually read the article. At least your comment betrays no evidence that you did. It's pretty clear why the drug use could be relevant to the defense "Meanwhile, Barbara McQuade, a former US attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, noted that prosecutors needed to prove high criminal intent for a tax crime case. Tax violations require the highest level of criminal intent, willfulness, that is, the government must prove that the person not only knew what he was doing, but that he knew it was illegal,” McQuade said.: https://nypost.com/2022/10/07/prosecutors-fear-hunter-biden-could-use-past-drug-addiction-as-defense/ This is the same reason why it could be difficult to bring a criminal case against Trump on charges of tax fraud. In Biden's case because his brain was addled by drugs and in the other case because the brain is addled without any outside assistance.

A few reasons why your comment is ridiculous. For one thing, drugs are mostly brought over via shipments of perfectly legitimate shipments of manufactured goods from Mexico. And exactly how out-of-touch do you have to be to understand that the reason there is a people smuggling business is because these smugglers are paid for it by the people that they're smuggling? People who come to the United States so that they can earn money to live and support their families. -

You got to love that phrase, "border security." As though undocumented aliens pose some kind of threat to the United States instead of being a crucial source of Labor for the agricultural and construction industry. It's a sure thing we'll be seeing lots of them undermining Florida by working in the reconstruction efforts in that state. Despite which, I doubt DeSantis will be delivering them to New York City. -
It's owned by Philip Anschutz, a very right wing billionaire.

In addition to which, when information like this is brought to reporters they generally want to investigate it first to make sure it's true. But these emails were published without reporters performing due diligence. In fact, the reporter that the New York post originally assigned to the story refused to carry through with it on those grounds. Releasing these emails as an October surprise would naturally arouse suspicions of any but the most credulous.

Angela Lansbury, Screen and Broadway Icon, Dead at 96
placeholder replied to Scott's topic in World News
Here she is featured in a poster for the 1945 movie https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=movie+the+picture+of+dorian+gray+angela+lansbury&form=HDRSC2&first=1&tsc=ImageHoverTitle She was just 19 years old when the movie was filmed. Unusual back then to cast somebody who was roughly the age of the character they portrayed rather than casting an actor 10 years older. Her gifts were obviously evident even then. -
You mean the deep state that the Durham investigation was supposed to expose? It should be pointed out that while the authenticiy of much of the data has been confirmed, this is not the same thing as saying either that the laptop was Biden's or that all the data is confirmed. Before the laptop became news, it was well known that Hunter Biden's data had been hacked and could be found on the internet. Also, because the right wing possessors of that laptop mishandled it, the integrity of all the data can't be confirmed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/hunter-biden-laptop-data-examined/ And it's just weird to witness the doublethink of some people. As for "nobody denies he committed a felony here", would that were true in another case where the evidence is overwhelming that multiple felonies were committed yet lots of right-wing somebodies including yourself continue to deny it.

Hmm...what is there about Australia that makes it different from the United States in regards to its borders? What could that be? Could somebody help me out here? -

What makes you think that Texas is spending money to assist undocumented aliens? You're comparing programs financed by the Federal govt in Texas to programs financed by New York City in NYC. -

That is 100% believable. -
Because if we know one thing about Vladiimir Putin, it's that he's a trustworthy guy. And if we know another thing, it's that he never claimed that Ukraine wasn't a real country but part of Russia. It is to laugh. And if they did come to an agreement, who would you suggest police it? And what sort of penalties should be imposed in case of a violation?

So are clowns. For the last 5 years they've been trying to pin crimes on Joe Biden. And for 3 of those years he didn't have the office of the Presidency or vice-Presidency to protect him. And he didn't hire teams of lawyers to slow the process. Doublethinking much?

Well, since presumably there's only one winner of Father of the Year, that's not much of a criterion, is it? And since being a high quality father and husband seem so important to you in a candidate for governer, can you share with us any information about Chase Oliver in that regard? -
Russia's 'Sham' Referendums In Ukraine Met With Silence From Central Asia
placeholder replied to Scott's topic in World News
Shades of Donbas! For some time now Russian nationalists have been accusing kazakhstan's government of being Nazis because they are oppressing the predominantly ethnic Russian population in the North. China has made it explicitly clear that using Force against Kazakhstan is unacceptable. I don't think that the Russian confederation as presently constituted has much longer to live. -
