Biden wasn't the official nominee either, but Trump debated him. What's the difference?

Duplicate post.

Are you actually suggesting that people should take the coke-fuelled paranoid ramblings of this violent, coercive and controlling thug seriously?

Not necessarily so - and not being treated as such at the moment. Several knives seized after attack on army officer

The passage you quoted in your earlier post is from one contributor and is by no means the majority view - and there's is definitely pushback. Here's what one poster wrote in reply. This post got 25 likes, whereas the post it was replying to got only 4 so it's clear which is the view that more of the contributors on that site favour.

The article explains exactly how it's linked: "many French people prefer to escape the crowds. Families are avoiding the event, purchasing air tickets in advance, and have been travelling to Thailand since July 6, marking the start of the summer break for their children.”

Which country has a population of 500 million? Certainly not the US.

Not so - seven rooms were booked but the seventh person did not check in and was already back in Vietnam before events unfolded, as stated in the other thread on this.

Of course the DOJ will appeal this - Special Counsels have been a standard part of the US legal system for decades and as the Supreme Court stated in relation to the Nixon tapes subpoena, their appointment is wholly consistent with the US Constitution. United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683 (1974) Furthermore, as stated in the article referenced in the OP:

This will be almost certainly be appealed to the 11th circuit, who have aleady reversed Judge Cannon twice. The appointment of special counsels had been settled law for decades. Multiple courts, up to and including the Supreme Court, have upheld their legality in the past. Of course if it gets as far as the current SCOTUS, who knows? What it does mean of course, is that there is absolutely no chance of this case ever getting to court before the Presidential election (not that there was really much chance of that happening anyway).

It's an anonymous post on X from someone claiming to be a police sniper but as far as I can tell, with no confirmation that he is who he claims to be or that the sequence of events he describes, actually took place. Unless of course, you have evidence that you can give us?

As about half a dozen people have already pointed out, there is no tax on gambling/lottery winnings in the UK so they don't need to move the money to avoid UK taxes.

Not a rumour - his voter registration is a matter of public record. Here's a copy of it.

Here's just a few - and there are many more of them. And incidentally, if Trump claims not to know its authors, his memory must really be going - most of them were in his administration. A look at the Project 2025 plan to reshape government and Trump’s links to its authors Trump disavows Project 2025, but he has long-standing ties to some key architects Trump seeks to disavow 'Project 2025' despite ties to conservative group Trump is trying to distance himself from Project 2025 -- but its architects helped shape his RNC party platform

Here's a list of all the things Michelle Obama and others that know her (including her husband) have said about the chances of her running for president. "April 26, 2012 - At a White House event, a child asked Obama whether she ever plans to run for office. "Absolutely not," the then-First Lady responded." May 29, 2012 - When the hosts of The View asked Obama about rumors that she'll run for office, she said, "Those are other people's rumors." "I am not interested in politics," she continued. "Never have been." September 25, 2012 - [Michelle Obama stated:] "It takes a lot of patience to be president of the United States. I'm not that patient." May 30, 2014 - Sitting for an interview, President Barack Obama restated what he said on The View: "One thing I can promise you: Michelle will not run for office. June 23, 2014 - When talking to ABC News, Michelle Obama again shut down the possibility of her run, saying that she is "definitely not" seeking higher office and instead plans to focus on service. June 29, 2014 - NBC News asked a senior White House advisor, Valerie Jarrett, whether there was any chance of another Obama candidacy. "No," Jarrett said flatly. "I'm absolutely, 100% positive that will never happen." January 14, 2016 -During his first visit to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, someone asked President Obama not about his policy platform, but about his wife's desire to run. "Let me tell you, there are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes, and Michelle is not running for president," he said. March 16, 2016 - Michelle Obama spoke at a South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, and again clarified her stance: "I will not run for president. No, nope, not going to do it." December 19, 2016 - Oprah asked Michelle Obama if she ever plans to seek office. Obama [...] said that she would not subject her children to another grueling political campaign. "I'm not coy," she said. "I've proven that. I'm pretty direct. If I were interested in it, I would say it. I don't believe in playing games." April 27, 2017 - A Q&A in Orlando, Florida, turned to the question of a possible Obama run, and again the former FLOTUS brought the answer back to her family. "I wouldn't ask my children to do this again because when you run for higher office, it's not just you. It's your whole family," she said. April 5, 2018 - At a forum in Boston, Massachusetts, Obama said that Americans cannot turn to any woman and demand she run simply for the sake of making history. "There are millions of women out here who are inclined, who do have the passion for politics," she said. "I have never had the passion for politics. I just happen to be married to somebody who has the passion for politics, and he dragged me kicking and screaming into this arena." October 11, 2018 - Obama went on The Today Show to announce a new program, though again ended up answering the question about a potential political bid."I have never wanted to be a politician," she said. "It's one of those things that nothing has changed in me to make me want to run for elected office." November 13, 2018 - In her memoir, Becoming, Obama immortalized her disinterest in running for office in ink: "I'll say it here directly: I have no intention of running for office, ever." March 18, 2019 - On an episode of Conan O'Brien's podcast, Obama said that eight years in the White House was more than enough. When O'Brien asked if she'd throw her name into the mix in 2020, she answered with a resolute no. November 14, 2022 - Obama told the BBC that the question of whether she'll run for office is the one she hates being asked most. Still, she clarified her position: "No. I'm not going to run." April 24, 2023 - In a more recent interview, Oprah repeated her question, this time asking about 2024, not 2020. Again, Obama said that she has "never expressed any interest in politics. Ever." March 5, 2024 - Obama's communications director, told NBC that Obama supports Biden's bid for reelection and has no plans to run. She gave the same statement to Business Insider on July 5." I don't know what anyone else takes from all that, but I take it to mean she has absolutely no interest in running.

Not quite sure why you would need to ask that, when it was accurately reported on by almost every news outlet in the world (reading difficulties, perhaps?) but since you've asked, here it is. Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsification of business records in the first degree, which is a felony offence.

In terms of this election, it's used almost all the time. Most of the reports I've read describe LFI as a far left party - a label which they're happy to embrace, by the way.

To conspire means to, "make secret plans jointly to commit an unlawful or harmful act." This was neither done secretly (it was all completely out in the open - I read about it days before the second round of voting) nor was it illegal or harmful - in fact I'd say it was highly beneficial to France as a nation. Tactical voting is a time-honoured practice in many parliamentary democracies around the world, there's nothing illegal or harmful about it. And the voting figures show that a sizeable majority of the French electorate wanted exactly this result, so plainly, their hearts and minds were won over to this outcome.

If Thailand wants more jets, they'd be better off with the Swedish Gripens. They seem to be a better, more capable fighter aircraft, based on various aviation articles about them. The Saab Gripen is able to Dogfight and Win Against (Almost) Any Dissimilar Aircraft SAAB's Gripen C/D shines in Alaska Red Flag exercise

Not in Thailand. As stated in the Workpoint article, "he stepped out to smoke near the train door."

Again with the mis-characterisations. Nobody on here has been predicting a swift Ukrainian victory and nobody (that I can recall) has talked about the F-16's as being a game changer.* If you could point to where anyone has said either of those things, I'd be grateful. *Indeed, I have said I think that Gripens would be a better option than F-16's.

So you're admitting that no-one on this thread has said Ukraine is winning convincingly, and in fact you're the only one saying that.
