Biden also founded the Biden Cancer Initiative in 2017 as a way to bring together researchers and share data, but it suspended operations after Biden announced his White House bid in 2019.

This will be relevant after all the posts I read here discussing Trump charities being criminal rip-offs for the rubes that drank the Koolaid etc etc. Let's see how great the Biden charity was

"The Biden Cancer Initiative was founded in 2017 by the former vice president and his wife, Jill Biden, to “develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes,” according to its IRS mission statement. But it gave out no grants in its first two years, and spent millions on the salaries of former Washington, DC, aides it hired."

Snopes confirms the truth of the facts and desperately tries to spin it, but fails as it provides no details on what the funds raised were supposed to be used for

EY said in its latest Brexit Tracker that job moves have risen to almost 7,600, up by 100 since October, while the number of new hires in Europe since Britain’s EU referendum in 2016 remains flat at around 2,850 new jobs.

 

The loss is a small fraction of total jobs in British financial services and is far lower than initial predictions.

Do I understand this correctly? 100 people have moved from London city to Europe for financial work purposes since OCTOBER???? That would be the incredible rate of less than one person leaving daily, hardly mass exodus. This would seem to confirm what my British friends were telling me about what they called "project fear" which they said was the establishment pumping out pure fake news and propaganda designed to overturn their democratic referendum on whether to remain/leave the EU.

does that mean that if Trump dies so does the Republican Party?

No. In such a tragic scenario I would expect Don jr or perhaps Ivanka to step up and fill the position. Trump is a trusted brand among Republicans and also generally among libertarians/conservatives/patriots who do not identify as "Republican". The name is a trusted brand because he ran on promises, and after winning did exactly what he said he would do(never happened before, won't happen again). That he was attacked by the losers for 4 straight years that called him an "illegitimate President" by the Democrat power players like Mrs Clinton, Biden himself, and Jimmy Carter , and made all all manner of hoaxes to bash him without evidence strengthened the support and trust for the Trump name. He is rightly a hero to 70 million Americans and many more people worldwide that value freedom and honesty - see his image used by HK anti communist protestors as an example.

 Still, I would rather see Trump sr. serve one more term before handing the reins over to his kids and their kids next. America would be in good hands if leadership remains stacked with Trump DNA.

hoping Biden can resist another "different cultural norms" statement to excuse and provide cover for the brutal communist state

Why is Jen calling him President Trump?

Because that is the norm. Ex Presidents are called President <insert name>. No big deal.

Biden is about freedom of expression.

By censoring any disagreeing voices and free thinkers? How is that proving Biden is about the freedom of expression. It is the exact opposite of what you say.

The Fact Checker team at Washinton Post will have to recalled their people just for this speech. 

If you did not notice there is no real fact checking any more. If 46 can lie and make false claims that there was no vaccine before he was president(at the excruciating CNN town hall) even though he himself was vaccinated before that date, and fact checkers claiming this lie was NOT a lie, well, forget the fact checkers.

Maybe it would have been better if his death had just been ignored.

Or if people had stayed broadly on topic while respecting the deceased's family and loved ones by not spouting hateful rhetoric.

Meanwhile, more localities are easing some restrictions, such as on indoor dining, and moving to reopen schools even as millions await their shots

Is this an unspoken admission that GOP run Florida without lockdowns actually faired better than democrat run California which made lockdowns and control an artform? Interesting to see the scientists unable to explain this, more so considering we are told the Biden response is pure science based.

The Democrats selectively spliced together a bunch of random scenes and left out President Trump's calls for a peaceful protest. The American people will see through this and this entire charade has no chance of success. 45 Senators have already declared it unconstitutional so it's DOA.

How can they leave out the "peacefully and patriotically" order Trump gave the crowd? It is just so dishonest. Goes way beyond spinning a narrative to suit their needs , it is more akin to pushing an entirely false narrative if they leave out his orders for the crowd to behave. Total disgrace.

And you're backing the wrong horse.

Stop watching Fox/Newsmax/OAN, they're NOT your friend.

 

How many times has it been shared on TV that, in a BIPARTISAN committee, Russia DID interfere in the election. Denying the Ukraine quid pro quo can only be done when wearing the Fox/Newsmax/OAN glasses.

 

Stop watching Fox/Newsmax/OAN, they're NOT your friend.

The accusation was that Trump colluded with Russia/Putin to cheat in the 2016 election. Not cool to concoct a false narrative that the left impeached Trump because "Russia interfered". He was impeached because he was falsely accused of colluding.

I watch no mainstream tv news channels. I prefer small private media channels on social media. To that end I watch David Pakman, the young Turks, Bongino and Tim Pool. I believe this gives me a reasonable balance, and an opportunity to hear both sides of the arguments. What is with your ordering other posters what news channels they should watch? I have seen it multiple times daily since starting to read this forum. It smacks of intolerance, and is probably very off topic?

trump is guilty! i mean it the use of "fight like hell"  is not incitement to violence, then i know what to tell my girlfriend when i want express my love to her!

one thing is sure, though, trump  will  be acquitted

You are cherry picking 3 words completely out of context, and using it to promote a highly dubious narrative. He also said for the crowd to make their way peacefully and patriotically. Hardly sounds like he's guilty of premeditated murder and terrorism by that pathetic evidence. Hope this time they have real evidence that Trump planned violent terrorism unlike the divisive and failed Russia and Ukraine dingdongs of many allegations without evidence. 3rd time lucky.

It's a good time to shortsell Gamestop. The price already went down from $379 on 29 January to $241.

 

As I wrote before, the small guys who just imitated others and bought shares late, just because It's so simple to click on an app, are (will be) screwed.

And edge funds are catching up for some of their loss.

 

Remember the target price (the true economic value) is around $10

 

Dangerous advice. I take it you are not a regulated financial advisor? the 140% outstanding short IS the fundamental reason why GME could just as easily pop to $1,000 as $10 where it belongs. You would need deep pockets shorting GME at $250 if it quadruples. Sitting on the sidelines is the sensible place to be unless you want a coin toss gamble.

Edit.the price today dropped only because the trading platforms are still limiting buys

So they stormed the Capitol in order to stop a fundamental constitutional process (stop the steal, lol), and It's not because Trump has been exciting them for months with fake claim? Instead it should be because of the bad influence of the BLM movement? ????????????????????

I think there was much confusion and conflicting info that led to tension. Fake claims from both sides. I voted Biden last november but have been troubled by events after the election day. I wanted a proper forensic analysis of a few contested counties to prove trump and the maga mob wrong, not just cases thrown out on standing issues and censorship hoping to silence their voices. I saw the Fulton video showing unobserved counting going on after the water leak that shut it down as per news reports. It made me uneasy. Trump will be back because ww can now never prove he was wrong

I beg to differ trump incited a insurrection and attempted a coup that sir at the very least should see decades in prison in many countries the crime would be delt with even more severely in my opinion we are witnessing the death of the Republican Party real republicans stand for fiscal responsibility law and order and moral values the clown show you are seeing is is the opposite 

Incited an insurrection by asking his followers to peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard? Tough sell to all but the diehards there sir

Sorry, i meant that everybody agrees the capitol rioters should be punished if they were violent. I was contrasting that with for eg Jerrold Nadler saying that the antifa rioters thats long violent and flamey spree could have inspired the rights actions in the capitol were just an ideology. Obviously downplaying and excusing them.

I have seen posts claiming that most protesters did not know they were doing anything wrong by going inside the Capitol, because they could enter without resistance and even have been in some way welcomed.

I think they were emboldened by the 6 months of nonstop rioting and even the successful capturing and ruling of entire city blocks by the left such as in Seattle, and with Kamala saying to them she will pay bail.... was always going to end in tears.

 Unlike with the left violence, nobody says to not punish the capitol rioters if they were violent.

If another 12 or so got together and agreed to convict (if that's the right word) they'd get Trump disbarred from office and have have nothing to fear from him.

 

Maybe they're scared of the 'Trump constituency', rather than Trump himself?

It is possible if trump is barred from ever holding office that don jr or one of his minions like mark dice could run with trumps backing. After martyring trump his popularity could increase even more. That might be even worse
