  1. Yah, it's basically different now because Trump has such a good relationship with Putin and Russia, obviously the Democrats are suddenly the anti-Russia party, Clinton started this nonsense.
  2. You just have to look at the poll, 58 % of teamsters support Trump. Why else would the Teamsters refuse to endorse the Democrat candidate, as they usually do? Why is Kamala not getting the support of Teamsters? The Democratic party under Kamala and Biden has lost the support of the working man. Quite a fumble, since they were historically a key demographic for the Democrats.
  3. A huge blow to Kamala Harris announced today. She is the first Democratic candidate not to be endorsed by the Teamsters in 30 years. The reason being that most Teamster members support Trump. This has huge implications in the swing states in particular.
  4. Putin is so smart, it's almost funny, he publicly endorsed Kamala Harris, knowing full well, that would make it more likely Trump would be elected Election intereference right there, lol. It even came up in the debate, Trump was able to claim, truthfully, that Russia's Putin endorsed Kamala Harris. Hilarious.
  5. Very hard not to like Trump, just saw him in a rally saying he had a call from Kamala Harris which was very nice and defending her against the immediate Boos. A very humane man with a big heart clearly.
  6. I am sure we both know that in the US the powers of the president are limited. Even Kamala Harris, if she were to become president would be unable to pass the kind of abortion law she wants to pass. Unless the Democrats would win both Senate and Congress. If the Republicans managed to pull that off they too could pass laws more easily. However, any president would still be constrained by the Supreme Court, so even then making the mailing of abortion pills illegal, like Project 2025 want, would not be possible.
  7. No, in WWII the British were the first to introduce carpet bombing as a systematic and stand alone policy to dehouse cvilians. Actually, no other nation did this. The Poles stoles massive swathes of German territory after 1918 when Germany lay injured and defeated in social turmoil. All German political parties supported reconstituting German territorial integrity. This was a legitimate grievance Germany was entitled to address.
  8. This is the whole essence of democracy, that you accept and respect the "other". It's not a "moral vaccum", it's a diversity of moral perspectives, especially on abortion.
  9. Even if you would be able to obtain a gun legally in Thailand, you still wouldn't be able to carry it with you while going to the shops or to school , since Thailand doesn't have the liberal gun carry laws the US has. So at most you could keep it in your home, if you were able to get it legally.
  10. I think it's actually a very democratic position to take. If people in Minnesota want to murder and kill babies up to the 8th month, they are free to do so now. If people in Missouri want to make abortion mostly illegal, then they can do so. After all, the cultural climate in the states is very different, seems like a sage and Solomonic decision. Let's say he were to try to push through Missouri style abortion laws all over the US, this would galvanize pro-abortion fanatics all over the country and cause massive civil unrest. It's a very controversial issue. Leaving aside the fact that there are now strong legal frameworks in the US to deal with this anyway.
  11. Obviously not, I had you pegged as the law abiding citizen you obviously are, I was speaking purely hypothetically. There's always ways around every issue.
  12. "Project 2025's proponents maintain that life begins at conception. The Mandate says that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) should "return to being known as the Department of Life" In 2022, the Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion, thereby leaving it to the states to create their own legislation on the matter, but Project 2025 encourages the next president "to enact the most robust protections for the unborn that Congress will support".[116] The Project also says, "The Dobbs decision is just the beginning. Conservatives ... should push as hard as possible to protect the unborn in every jurisdiction in America." Severino says that the HHS should require that "every state report exactly how many abortions take place within its borders, at what gestational age of the child, for what reason, the mother's state of residence, and by what method"." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025 None of this is workable as Trump has done the exact opposite, he has devolved to the states how abortion is handled. States decide how abortions are tracked, if at all. The way the laws work now there is no way in hell any president could do what Project 2025 wants. They also want to criminalise sending abortion pills via mail, which the Supreme Court has already decided against. Trump has always made clear he will hand the decision on abortion to the states, he can't be bothered with it. So he is actually diametrically opposed to what Project 2025 wants, a concerted presidential push to achieve maximal pro-Life policies, criminalising abortion pills in the mail etc.
  13. This is true, for instance many of the legal actions against Trump were funded by the founder of LinkedIN. Peter Thiel advised him stop funding the legal actions against Trump as it just makes him a martyr. The founder of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman, replied that he wished Trump would become an actual martyr. As this was just before the first assassination attempt Hoffman then had to backpedal furiously. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/what-linkedin-co-founder-reid-hoffman-meant-by-actual-martyr-remark-for-donald-trump-6109859 I basically see the US as an oligarchy now. The candidates spend most of their time on the phone calling billionaires to beg for funds. Even Trump, not just Biden or Kamala. If a group of billionaires would go to Pelosi and say "hey, we don't think Biden should be the candidate, if he doesn't resign we will pull all our funding", I think it would not be totally inconceivable that Pelosi would call Biden and....oh wait...
  14. Have you even read the Agenda 2025? Do you seriously think a guy like Donald Trump would outlaw pornography? What is in the Agenda about abortion is diametrically opposed to all that Trump has ever said about his abortion policy, he couldn't even implement that if he wanted to.
  15. You could get a 3D printer and print yourself a Glock. It would not be lawful, but would get around the whole licensing and permit issue.
  16. I clearly said that Wilhelmshaven was not an area bombing, that 435 civilians died was a result of errors made by the RAF, just the Luftwaffe made some errors when bombing military targets in London. I also said British area bombing started in earnest around May 1940. It is striking how the German wikipedia article mentions the 435 Germans killed, whereas the English wikipedia page does not. In the German page you will find the 435 victims. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luftangriffe_auf_Wilhelmshaven To this day English historians try to obfuscate the fact that the British started carpet bombing in WWII, claiming that German raids on London where civilians were killed while the Luftwaffe was trying to hit military targets were "carpet bombings" which is of course untrue. It is true however, that after the British began carpet bombing the Luftwaffe also adopted this tactic. I am looking only at the engagement between German and England, not the Polish war. The Poles had annexed German territory after 1918 and refused to return it, Germany's war against Poland was legitimate. Most bombing raids were in the course of military operations. However, to the extent that civilian deaths resulted that is of course very regrettable. Nevertheless, in the bombing of Warsaw for instance the Germans dropped leaflets before bombings to advise civiilians to leave. It was the Polish military that kept them in Warsaw. Later killings of the Pole, after the country was occupied, performed by the 2400 members of the Einsatzgruppen in Poland, estimated at around 60,000 to 80,000 were of course war crimes and had to be prosecuted, as indeed they were.
  17. I was tested twice. Both times the test said I do not have Covid. I tend to go on what the evidence says. The effectiveness of masks in preventing infection with Covid in healthy adults is significantly below 95 of 75 percent. This is self evident since masks mere mandated but did not stop the spread of Covid. Even studies that conclude that masks have a small effect are nowhere near these levels of effectiveness for preventing infection.
  18. Covid-19 is not a vascular disease. You have sent us an article published in the media that talks about a study from San Diego University which supposedly affirms that “covid-19 is not a respiratory but a vascular disease”. This is FALSE. As the World Health Organisation has explained, most of the infections affect the respiratory system, although they can also have implications in other organs. The study cited by the article does not deny such a thing, but rather deepens into how SARS-CoV2 affects the circulatory system. Covid-19 is is an infectious respiratory disease that can manifest itself in multiple ways, but in most people it causes mild to moderate respiratory symptoms, according to organisations such as the Spanish Ministry of Health and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition to affecting the respiratory system, the coronavirus has implications for other systems, including the cardiovascular one. This has been detected before. What the paper in question provides are details of how it reaches the blood vessels. In other words, this is "additional, concomitant, non-exclusive data", that is, it is not intended to convey the idea that covid-19 is a vascular disease, but rather to emphasise "the very systemic and multi-organ involvement that covid-19 produces", he concludes. "In the paper they highlight how the vessels are disrupted, endothelial dysfunction is documented, but this does not give it an aetiological exclusivity (this is not solely the cause of the disease) nor is it the only mechanism responsible for many of the covid symptoms," says Cequier, who believes that saying that the conclusion is that it is a vascular disease is "a bit of a superficial interpretation". Why is it not exclusively vascular? Vascular diseases are those in which the arteries or veins are affected and, in most cases, also the blood flows, either by blockage or weakening of the vessels or by damage to the valves in the veins. Although covid-19 sometimes affects the heart and circulatory system with thrombi, it is not a vascular disease. If it were, says Cequier, "it would cause acute myocardial infarctions, or many arterial embolism, both of which are rare in covid," he argues. What is more common is that through the whole inflammatory cascade that takes place after an infection and is a consequence of the immune system, "very diffuse" damage is produced and ends up affecting the heart, which can lead to "an alteration of the coagulation system" and, therefore, to "an increased risk of thrombi formation, which is associated in turn with thromboembolism", concludes the cardiologist. https://www.verificat.cat/en/covid-19-is-not-a-vascular-disease/
  19. Lol, Russia's GDP growth is greater than the USA's, UK, Germany and France. The Russian economy is booming. What are you on?
  20. I never confuse anybody. "Putin succeeded in codifying land law and tax law and promulgated new codes on labour, administrative, criminal, commercial and civil procedural law." In 2001, Putin, who has advocated liberal economic policies, introduced a flat tax rate of 13% https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_policy_of_Vladimir_Putin It was also under Putin that Russia joined the WTO. Your allegation that Putin wants to reconstitute the USSR is absolute trash, garbage fit only for the toilet.
  21. It's not 1988. Putin is not a communist. He actually was instrumental in pushing through Western economic reforms.
  22. The problem with engaging with this woman is that social media is set up so that people like this, who spew utter tripe actually get stronger the more you comment on their video negatively. This is why there is a preponderance of such insulting, shocking, "controversial" videos, people comment negatively, the algorithm just thinks "oh a lot of comments, very interesting video" and thus this video is proposed by the algorithm, the views increase, and she makes a shedload of money. Hence whenever you see something like this, swallow hard and move on. If you engage, you make it worse, by making her money.
  23. So many people love Trump. Just watched the genuine concern and upset of so many at yet another assassination attempt. Deeply moved. <wipes tear from eye>
  24. It's not like he couldn't see the writing on the wall. Why did he not leave the US, he had the money?
