  1. Fact check: US helicopter flight no proof of sabotage of Nord Stream pipeline Sabotage is believed to be the likely cause of the leaks in the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. Pro-Russian voices claim a US helicopter may have carried out the attack. DW takes a look at those claims. https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-us-helicopter-flight-no-proof-of-sabotage-of-nord-stream-pipeline/a-63295189
  2. In the latter case, the US will end up like other nations with dictatorial rulers.
  3. I guess counterfactualism is contagious. At least for some. You've got nothing.
  4. No. It's been Justice Dept. policy for a long time that Presidents can't be criminally prosecuted. Not that this excuses Barr's lies about the Mueller Report which itself acknowledged that Presidents can't be prosecuted criminally while they're in office.
  5. Well, I jread in Tass yestersay that the Ukrainian push in Kherson had ended in disaster. Today I read reports that the Ukrainians have advanced far beyond the point where they were supposed to have met disaster yesterday. And, of course, this is typical of the official Russian media which pretty much portrays the war oops! I mean Special Military Operation as an unmitigated disaster for the Ukrainians.
  6. There have been plenty of motives offered for Russia to sabotage the pipeline. And it certainly has the means and plenty of opportunity. So, if that's the nation you're referring to, then I thinik you've got a strong case. But it still needs a bit of work.
  7. And how do you know that they are not investigating? It takes research and digging to do an investigative report. At least a real one. Of course, if, you prefer Tass or some other Russian news source, you can probably enjoy an invented investigative report daily.
  8. Nonsense. It is to be expected when there's nothing new to report. Once Sweden gets a closer look, presumably there will be something newsworthy.
  9. But nothing official until late in 2019 in the wake of his attempt to strongarm Zelensky to launch an investigation of Biden.
  10. What does this have to do with your characterization that they "forced their way in".
  11. This point about his 4 years as President is so obvious it's bizarre that you had to mention it. But, apparently, it still needs to be mentioned.
  12. The documents being referred to are the ones being scutinized by the Special Master. So it's not a question of "forcing their way in". Allthough I'm not aware that investigators "forced their way in" anywhere.
  13. For one thing, it's against DOJ policy to bring charges in a case with political ramifications 50 days before an election. For another, as you may recall, Judge Aileen "Loose" Cannon has appointed a special master to review the documents. While an appeals court panel rightly issued the judicial version of a rebuke for her denial to the Justice Dept of access to classified documents, there are lots of others to review. And keep in mind that it's a crime to take any any documents from the White House without NARA approval. So the documents that are still being reviewed may also be relevant to the investigation.
  14. As long as Trump was President, he couldn't be criminally prosecuted. Now he can be. And he is certainly being seriously and strenuously investigated by the FBI.
  15. If it's possible for a website to be both nerdish and cool, this one is it.
  16. All you had to do was name one for starters.
  17. A case of the lesser of 2 evils
  18. For you, certainly, considering that there are a disproportionate number of Putin fans among them.
  19. Not surprising that the Schiller Institute would host this rightwing loon 'The Schiller Institute is closely tied to Lyndon LaRouche. A biography of LaRouche hosted on institute's website states that "[i]t is his work and his ideas, that inspired the creation of the international Schiller Institute, as well as his intellectual and moral leadership that continue to set the standard for the policies and activity of the movement."[8]... An internal London Metropolitan Police (Scotland Yard) letter, obtained by the BBC's Newsnight during a British investigation into the death says: "The Schiller Institute and the LaRouche Youth Movement... blames the Jewish people for the Iraq war and all the other problems in the world" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schiller_Institute Black is also a big fan of the Syrian government
  20. Your claim would be more believable if you hadn't left the following unanswered:
  21. How did Galileo's ideas threaten to undermine public health? Mortality statistics in the US show that those areas in the US where anti covid vaccination belief was strongest also had the highest levels of mortality.
  22. It's funny how some people claim to distrust twitter except when it confirms their beliefs. Got any actual hard information? Or just rumors based on what some twitterers are claiming?
  23. Somebody else who saves the people the bother of answering questions he asks by answering those questions themselves. So thoughtful!
  24. That's not surprising.
  25. B.S. Here's what you wrote It makes no sense to say "we are getting somewhere" if that was anything other than a rhetorical question.
