  1. Up until now I believed oppositely but your impressive presentation has given me doubts. If you had added just one more word I would have been convinced.
  2. Theyi're not quite confirming this but they seem quite confident it's true: Top Russian Commander of Invading Army Captured by Ukraine—Report Ukrainian media outlets and social media users have speculated that a top Russian commander has been captured as Kyiv's counteroffensive against Moscow's forces gathers pace. Images and video shared on Twitter and Telegram purportedly show Lieutenant General Andrei Sychevoi among a group of Russian troops handcuffed on their knees with one social media user saying they were near Balakliya, in the Kharkiv region Many noted the similarity of one of the captured men to other images of Sychevoi. https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-sychevoi-capture-commander-1741356
  3. I suspect Saul Goodman would demand a big retainer up front. Trump's reputation precedes him.
  4. Or, as Trump might put it, the Failing Truth Social. Only in this case, "Failing" would actually be accurate.
  5. I don't think even the mods imagine that they can dictate what form a response will take. Just what level of authority do you imagine you have in this forum? Powell predicted civil war. Neither of these points you raise are examples of that. And they're spending "zillions"?. Is that a standard zillion or an Imperial zillion? It is to laugh.
  6. And what about those violent ethnic Indian and Pakistani football hooligans...oh wait a minute.
  7. The doctrine of fruit of the poisonous tree refers to evidence used against someone that was acquired illegally It's dubious that the Justice Dept would use Trump's health record, passports, tax records, or articles of clothing against him as evidence. As for the existence of Trump's get-out-of-jail-free-documents, this sounds like the fevered talk that infests extreme right wing sites.
  8. You think a handful of Muslim extremists proves his contentions?
  9. I haven't seen any reports of MG autos being short circuited due to high waters. And their sales are increasing hugely. Particularly in the UK. MG’s profile soars as sales rise in many markets "Specifically, in the United Kingdom, MG Motor UK has built on record-breaking 2021 achievement with stellar Q1 sales results. For instance, the brand’s sales for first three months of the year exceeded those for the whole of 2019; thus sustaining the momentum as UK’s fastest-growing mainstream car brand. Building on the 2021 performance, the marque’s success continued into the new year with registrations in January and February (4,471 units) totalling more than those for the whole of 2017 (4,471 units)." https://www.sunnewsonline.com/mgs-profile-soars-as-sales-rise-in-many-markets/
  10. As I pointed out, the common belief was that what they were doing would instigate an insurrection. As for it being just a few: https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2020/09/02/majority-of-republicans-believe-the-qanon-conspiracy-theory-is-partly-or-mostly-true-survey-finds/?sh=65ac1c3e5231
  11. Also, to be noted, is that Clinton was cooperated with government investigators. Trump did just the opposite. That kind of thing is taken into account when investigators decide whether or not to push for indictments.
  12. But the question isn't whether what the protesters were armed with, (and it wasn't exactly sticks, was it?), it was their intent. And many of them believed that their attack on the Capitol would precipitate something called The Storm, which would result in government officials and elected representatives judged to be members of the deep state would be subject imprisonment and execution. And of course, even with the weapons they had at hand, that would be more than enough to murder elected representatives.
  13. Foirtunately for America, a huge part of Biden's agenda has already passed. So, given your knowledge of the situation, can you share with us what parts of Biden's agenda are still on the table?
  14. *Deleted post edited out* Not so far back you reproached me for using a poll that was 2 weeks old. The Gallup poll you cited was dated Jul 29, 2022. Guess what, new Galllup Poll results were released on Aug 25, 2022 Biden's Job Rating Rises to 44%, Highest in a Year https://news.gallup.com/poll/398117/biden-job-rating-rises-highest-year.aspx Best not to cherry-pick polls but use aggregates instead.
  15. And there's the fact that Trump ignored a grand jury subpoena. And that his lawyers apparently lied about there being no more classified documents. It seems extremely unlikely that they would make such a claim without Trump's authorization.
  16. So you think that an auto manufacturer isn't going to take into account occasions when their EV is going to have to roll through fairly deep water? Someone should hasten to advise them of this eventuality before it's too late.
  17. The reference is to the civil war that would occur in the times of Vergil who wrote the Aeneid. Ya think he was writing about some kind of environmental disaster where an abattoir spills sheep blood into the river? Here's the quote in full "Bella, horrida bella, Et Thybrim multo spumantem sanguine cerno" I see wars, horrible wars and the Tiber foaming with blood https://www.business-live.co.uk/economic-development/using-virgil-predict-apocalypse-3961872
  18. Wow! a video from 2013 which focused on what the reporter said were a handful of vigilante whose activities were condemned by Muslim leaders Five of them were arrested. 3 were sentenced to do time in jail.
  19. do you think that the difference is significant. If anything it's worse since he specifically refers to the Roman. 'As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood."'
  20. It's one thing when you're referring to the future.Quite another when you're referring to the past. And if you scrutine the midterm elections of these various President, you'll find that they jibed closely enough with the polls.
  21. I really don't care how you categorize your past posts or how accurate your description of them is. Here and now you sought to make the issue personal. That's the tactic of someone who has no rational response to offer.
  22. What in my statement of facts available from the public record indicates that I had any personal connection at all. The only one being personal in this exchange is you which is a good indication that you've got nothing.
  23. Enoch Powell was a distinguished classicist. He new ruddy well what it meant. The "rivers of blood" phrase came from the Aeneid in which the prophetess is predicting Civil War. That jibes precisely with what Powell was predicting.
  24. First off, even if the documents were as you described, which is ridiculously unlikely, it would still be a crime for him to have them in his possession, In fact a far more serious crime because he signed a bill that upped the penalties for possessing unvetted government documents. He also apparently committed a crime by ignoring a grand jury subpoena. And by your way of thinking, no document's classification should be taken seriously, as long as something can be found on the internet pertaining to the subject. You really want to continue to subscribe to that position?
