What matters of fact do you have a problem with? That there weren't nearly 12,000 documents? There are people who know and loathe Trump well who offerwhat I think is a more believable explanation. It's about Trump's resentment at losing and being dislodged from the White House. This was his way of asserting that he's still the legitimate President and his way of trolling his successor. Keep in mind that he's basically a seething ball of resentment.

If Ukrainians with governmental ties were responsible for this, it was a very bad idea. What did they hope to accomplish by making a martyr of this person, or as is more likely the case, intending to make a martyr of her father? As despicable as she was and he is, there are plenty to replace them. And it just gives propaganda ammunition to Putin and Co. Why sink to his level?

Clearly some will be convinced no matter how scant the evidence is. Sound familiar?

I have no doubt that whatever business dealing Hunter Biden profited from abroad, were due to the fact that Joe Biden was his father. But there is no good evidence that they got anything in return. And as my entry above pointed out, there is evidence that they didn't. And as for your assumption that "despots" were paying him, got any evidence for that?

One email mentions that the equity split would include “10 held by H for the big guy ?” A former business partner of Hunter’s named Tony Bobulinski came forward to claim “the big guy” was Joe Biden. But a subsequent email from Hunter says his “Chairman” gave him “an emphatic no,” and a further email clarifies that the chairman is his dad. https://www.vox.com/22992772/hunter-biden-laptop

Because some people clearly need reminding again and again.

Remember that massive protest that was going to occur at Mar a Lago? I don't think that there were more reporters than protestors at the event but not a lot less either.

I remember when Trump supporters were dreaming about the Supremes undoing the results of the 2020 election. Even if Thomas were to side with Trump there are 8 other justices.And as the 2 conservative justices on the 11 circuit panel made clear, not only is the imposition of a Special Master a dubious proposition, but Trump's claim that there is no way that the classified documents could ever be considered his personal property and that the issue of whether or not they were declassified is a red herring.

But this particular tactic feigns even-mindedness by formulating it as an "on the one hand...on the other hand" situation. Where one of the possibilities is reasonable and the other is highly improbable.

No, that's not an internal affair because it doesnt' take place within its borders. Unless your definition of internal is "none of your business". If it is, it's yours alone.

Millions of people believe the first people were Adam and Eve and that evolution is a fraud. Just because it's true that someone or many believe something, is not proof that it's true. That's why both science and the legal system have established procedures to verify hypotheses and claims. If I were you, I'd give up your career as a sophist. Way too transparent.

I think there ever are limits to Clarence Thomas' bias. He didn't decide in favor of the elections lawsuits brought by Trump supporters.

This kind of thinking explains why Trump supporters have a higher death rate from Covid.

Well, the leader of India has strongly criticized Russia for waging war and Putin acknowledged that China has some criticisms as well.

No, he's not referring to pre-war tactics and maneuverings.. The invasion was underway when he said that.

And I think it's pretty clear that he wouldn't have supported the Ukrainians in their war of defense either. He was willing to violate the law not to give them the weapons that Congress had authorized.

This is also what Trump said after the invasion started: Trump Calls Putin’s Invasion of Ukraine Smart, Blames Biden for Not Doing Enough Former President Donald Trump called Russian President Vladimir Putin smart and criticized the U.S. response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “I mean, he’s taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. I’d say that’s pretty smart,” Mr. Trump said during a fundraiser at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Wednesday night, according to a recording of the event posted online, contending that Mr. Putin wouldn’t have invaded if he were still president. https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/russia-ukraine-latest-news/card/trump-calls-putin-s-invasion-of-ukraine-smart-blames-biden-for-not-doing-enough-JicGb9xT5GnCZpQdiBjN

Given his past record, we can have a pretty good idea. There would have been a war. And most likely it would have been long over and cultural extermination on the way. And of course, what the Russians would call denazification and most others would call mass murder.

Have you forgotten about his friendship with Vladimir Putin? They are so close that Trump insisted on having a tete-a-tete with him without any of the usual staff from the state department present. So close that Putin insisted on hacking into the computers of his opponent and creating disinformation on his behalf.

I was asked what I thought would qualify as wealthy. I wasn't asked how they should be taxed.

The government actually bent over backwards not to come to this pass. But there is strong evidence now to show that not only did Trump illegally abscond with government documents, but he also obstructed justice by lying about his continued possession of documents.

The difference being that the helicopter flight has been ruled out as actually having been in the area. Can the same be said for the Russian ships?

Because it's the wrong question. The right question would be related to assets. Usually "wealthyi" is defined as those in the top 10% as far as net worth is concerned. "Super wealthy" applies to the top 1%. Of course, there is a strong correlation between the two of them.

Well, let's all be thankful that there's nothing like that going on in the case of Donald Trump where there appears to be a huge amount of actual hard evidence against him. Well, at least as hard as paper. And while it's true that his attorneys have not been real competent, is it conceivable that of their own volition they would deny that any classified documents remained? Of course, anything is possible. And we still have to hear from the actual witnesses who apparently alarmed the Justice Dept enough to obtain a broad warrent to enter the premises of Mar a Lago.
