  1. Biden administration does not / did not have an open-door immigration policy Joe Biden Doesn't Have an 'Open Border' Policy, so Why Do Republicans Say Otherwise? - Newsweek
  2. More misinformation... U.S. President Joe Biden’s new immigration policy has been mischaracterized in social media posts as though it would grant citizenship to undocumented immigrants who could then vote in the 2024 presidential election. Biden on June 18 announced, opens new tab new actions that include easing the process for eligible noncitizen spouses of U.S. citizens to obtain lawful permanent residence (LPR), a status that does not confer, opens new tab the right to vote in federal, state and most local elections. The new program will be open to an estimated 500,000 noncitizen spouses of U.S. citizens and about 50,000 children with a U.S.-citizen parent. https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/biden-immigration-program-misrepresented-online-2024-07-03/
  3. Just an matter of good luck timing for trump. Though at the beginning of his presidency made an error of judgement with an attack in Yemen. Plus of course trump made the terrible mistake of negotiating directly with Taliban, excluding the Afghan government and committing to a withdrawal date. I doubt many agree Biden / Harris should not be assisting Ukraine / Israel, nor do I believe trump can reach a reasonable peace agreement for Ukrainian interests.
  4. No. trump survived impeachment due to the cowardly actions of the Republicans and gross breach of the Oath of Office to support the Constitution.
  5. I apply the same wording to your acceptance of trump. In fact even more so given his self incriminating words, or rather drivel
  6. Attempting to use blackmail for his own selfish purposes, Yes, corrupt
  7. No. He had no legal cause to do so. But in comparison to the OP his commentary had far worse effect. Anyone with brain cells know trump is unfit to represent the office of the president of the USA
  8. Starmer dismisses Trump claim of Labour interference in US election He added: “I spent time in New York with President Trump, had dinner with him, and my purpose in doing that was to make sure that between the two of us we established a good relationship, which we did, and I was very grateful to him for making the time.” Starmer dismisses Trump claim of Labour interference in US election
  9. Practically a tradition. UK Labour support for the Dems at election time has been ongoing for many election cycles. Given they canvass in the US this matter must have been known to the Republicans. Indicates this time round they're getting nervous enough to raise the matter. Foreign nationals are permitted to serve as campaign volunteers as long as they are not compensated, according to FEC rules. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdjej417009o It would be really interesting to know how much foreign support trump receives - I bet it wouldn't be peanuts given we already know of trump's demands for a billion dollar donations from the US oil industry.
  10. trump should have been impeached, at the very least with regards Ukraine attempted corruption. The only reason trump wasn't impeached were the corrupt Republicans who failed their Oath to uphold the Constitution for party political purposes. Regards your OP s Storm in a Teacup compared to trump's never ending vilification of Hilary Clinton calling for her jailing.
  11. Snipped for brevity. The data I referred is more recent However, with a vastly larger white population the total level will be greater, a matter which is largely ignored by the media, unless the white group offending is extremely egregious. FYI other example HMG reportS There is not enough evidence to say Asian or Black people are over-represented in groups of child sex abusers and the majority of offenders are white, a long-awaited official report says. The Home Office research into grooming gangs, launched amid concerns about gangs of mainly Pakistani-heritage men carrying out child sexual exploitation (CSE), found that abusers actually come from “diverse” backgrounds. The report said most group child sex offenders are men under the age of 30 and the majority are white. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/child-sexual-abuse-gangs-white-men_uk_5fd8fb35c5b6218b42ecd70f https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2020/dec/analysis-new-home-office-report-admits-grooming-gangs-are-not-muslim-problem
  12. There are more ethic whites prosecuted for grooming just doesn't get as much media attention - wonder why... "Research has found that group-based child sexual exploitation offenders are most commonly white." https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/944206/Group-based_CSE_Paper.pdf “Yes Pakistani men are disproportionately involved in grooming gangs and this particular model of abuse. And no that is not a racist statement. Neither is it racist to say that when it comes to wider child abuse nearly 90 per cent of those convicted and on the sex offenders register are white men.” https://fullfact.org/crime/what-do-we-know-about-ethnicity-people-involved-sexual-offences-against-children/
  13. Maybe so, but at least she's not a blatant hypocrite like trump dancing to the tune of Christian weirdos influencing his foreign policy e.g. Israel. Why is trump eroding the Constitution by blurring the lines between Government and Religion - purely for self interest, Has anyone ever heard of Trump supporting Christian ethics other than for political purposes; you're being conned.
  14. Comparing him to an animal and able to identify with the lowest common denominator is appropriate.
  15. Addressing the denials so rampant in MAGA world. However, trump is still going on about losing the 2020 election, well overdue for the ex president to grow up as well as his echo chamber supporters.
  16. During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday afternoon, noted political scientist Larry Sabato expressed extreme alarm at Donald Trump antics over the past few weeks and said there is a legitimate concern about the former president's sanity. 'How sane is he?' Larry Sabato casts doubt on 'unhinged' Trump's election hopes
  17. I'm not a Social Media analyst, but a quick search picked up the example below. Russia-backed content reached as many as 126 million Americans on Facebook during and after the 2016 presidential election https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/oct/30/facebook-russia-fake-accounts-126-million As I understand US intelligence previously identified a number of Russian sponsored influencing operations regards US elections, no doubt occurring right now. trump emphatically denied, but with zero facts, of course blindly believed by MAGA people. No point in further dialogue regards this issue - waste of time. I've said before & now repeated...Trump is unfit to Represent the Office of the Unites States of America.
  18. A presumptive move to get trump's tariffs on PRC car imports. We know trump demands funds from interested parties to enact legislation in their interest; oil industry is a good example.
  19. Seriously doubt he wrote the speech, no matter what he claims, other than his usual insults and negative commentary
  20. Out of curiosity how do you know the effectiveness or otherwise of Russia State sponsored disinformation / misinformation activities? e.g. Russia is known to support right of centre activities in Europe, same applies in the US. Some background info... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_disinformation#:~:text=The Guardian reported Russia was,well as border security concerns.
  21. OP is from a televised speech by Obama - credible source - unlike so many from MAGA world. From yours and others posts looks as though MAGA will have significant problematic issues if Harris wins. creating yet more negativity in US social fabric.
  22. Great program, excellent research which fed into very knowledgeable questions. But... those in the spotlight never owned up to their transgressions. often left with the thought "what's the point, usual BS politicised responses'.
  23. Conveniently omitting trump stopped supply of weapons to Ukraine in an attempt to blackmail Ukraine government. After Biden came to power he has since authorised billons for weapons shipments as well as authorising other countries with US arms to tranship to Ukraine. In the meantime trump claims he can cease hostilities as soon as coming to power. Under US law is it legally permissible to negotiate with a foreign power to cease hostilities without authorisation from the ruling Administration? I understand not; in fact is it not illegal?
  24. Under Obama, the federal government started the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which sent other kinds of U.S. military equipment to the country. From federal fiscal years 2016 to 2019, which overlap with Obama and Trump, Congress appropriated $850 million.
