IMO if it depends on Biden, they might as well get the "welcome to the new POTUS" signs in the White House ready for January. He just looks old, tired and going through the motions. Lacks charisma, enthusiasm, and vision. Seems all he has is "elect me because I'm not Trump". Who knows though?

So far everything they have done has made him more popular. The common man can see a kangaroo court for what it is.

IMO only those that want Trump gone believe it was a bona fide trial, and not a political trial attempting to prevent him standing against Biden. IMO they must really fear him to be prepared to go to such lengths.

Time for you to go to the ignore corner. Bye bye.

Hamas has responded. As seen on Al Jazeera. They want a full withdrawal of israeli forces from Gaza to agree. It's up to israel to respond now as the ball is in their court.

I think normal Ukrainians would rather live than die on the front line or in bombed buildings, so yes, I think they do. They don't get to tell the government what they want though, and Zelensky apparently wants to fight on to the last man. I wonder which country he'll go hide in when it's all over? I don't know any Russians so stop lying.

When there is no civil recourse for endemic problems violence is the go to human "solution", as seen so many times in human history. The French and Russian revolutions didn't happen for no reason. Get better soon? Doubtful without a complete reset of Washington. Empires in their death spiral don't get better, just cease to be.

Trump is not to blame for America's woes. Trump is IMO a symptom of a broken society, not the cause. If wanting to blame, look no further than Washington, IMO.

Ask yourself how long humans living in cities will survive if the vehicles that bring all their food into the city were to suddenly stop working eg from lack of diesel? How long would cities keep functioning without electricity or piped water if the computers that control EVERYTHING were to stop working eg by an EMP?

You are too kind to Monsieur Macron.

Likewise. I detest unfettered capitalism ( or dog eat dog economy ) but have no truck with liberal insanities. Socialism is not about half the population living off the other half, but about seeing that all in society have a decent life. All should have what they need, but that is not to say they don't need to work to get it.

Unfortunately Macron wasn't defeated. Apparently he remains as president even if the vote goes right wing. In that case he may have a right wing PM. This swing to the right is entirely the fault of the liberals with their loony policies on letting in anyone that turns up on a boat, and other well known stupidities.

IMO too many people ignore the sensible precaution of fastening their seat belt when sitting. I think passengers should only get compensation if wearing a seat belt, or when walking when the "Fasten seat belt" sign is not on. People should use their brain and take responsibility for themselves. Turbulence is an expected part of flying, but many leave their common sense in the departure lounge, IMO. If passengers bring on hand carry that exceeds the weight limit and that injures someone else, IMO they should be prosecuted.

I would support that theory. I very much doubt that Farage is a Tory sympathiser, and I hope that is true. I'll be disappointed if he turns out to support them, unless it's on terms for his own benefit.

IMO it fell close to the tree. We just don't know yet what there is to know about Joe.

One hopes that is more like 100% for a prison sentence. Will daddy change his mind and pardon him?

In my opinion Up to America and Europe- when the last Ukrainian soldier dies Up to Ukrainians, can't be soon enough. Up to Russia, carry on.

It's not up to me to prove someone's post is correct. As stated in forum rules that is on the one posting so called facts, but you know that, don't you?

From my understanding there is no guarantee of a progression between the stages, nor that the ceasefire will continue. IMO too many loopholes for israel to go back to destroying Gaza and Gazans, once more hostages are released.

What is likely is that if Hamas is eliminated the organization that replaces it will be more violent against israelis.

Dead hostages are of no use, and the ones rescued were in good health ( according to israeli statements seen on Al Jazeera ). There is no point of murdering hostages unless in imminent chance of being released by the IDF.

Seems that Hamas made a simple mistake of allowing the hostages to be taken alive. That only increases the chances that the IDF will try again. I suspect they won't make that mistake again.

Yes. I haven't seen anyone else accusing Hamas of being genocidal in this conflict, but many accuse israel of being so. Hamas isn't denying israelis food, water and medical supplies or blowing up israeli hospitals.

He keeps saying that, but it's by no means clear that netanyahu or the ultra right wing members of his government will agree. They have made statements indicating they wish to continue the conflict, as reported by Al Jazeera. Hamas, according to Al Jazeera. has said it's looking positively at agreeing.

That's not skinny. That's what most BGs looked like when I arrived in LOS. Sadly many are actually fat now.
