I notice a lot of ignorant remarks here about the US from individuals that are not Americans and unfortunately some are Americans, just a lot pent up obsessive useless nonsense reiterations of leftist news conglomerates. Not a single one is capable of independent empirical analysis. Not a single one. I notice at least one ignorant remark regard hate crime law. Yours. It's not about what is said during the commission of a crime. The Federal hate crime law is not even a law against speech. It's a law against a crimes motivated by specified kinds of bigotry. Speech may be evidence about motivation, but in itself is not a crime under these laws. And thanks for your ridiculous over-the-top generalizations.

Zapitapi Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 2 hours ago, ozimoron said: Next time, produce some credible evidence as required instead of regurgitating Tucker Carlson lies / talking points. Theory About U.S.-Funded Bioweapons Labs in Ukraine Is Unfounded Prominent conservative voices have mischaracterized remarks from American officials to amplify baseless claims promoted by Russian state media. There is no evidence to support the claims, which President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, the White House, the Pentagon and the State Department have all unequivocally denied. There are biological laboratories inside Ukraine, and since 2005, the United States has provided backing to a number of institutions to prevent the production of biological weapons. But Tucker Carlson, the Fox News host, and others have misleadingly cited remarks from American officials as proof that the labs are producing or conducting research on biological weapons. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/11/us/politics/us-bioweapons-ukraine-misinformation.html How the false Russian biolab story came to circulate among the U.S. far right "The Kremlin is intentionally spreading outright lies that the United States and Ukraine are conducting chemical and biological weapons activities," U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said earlier this month. He and other officials warn that Russia was working to create pretexts for its attacks on a sovereign nation. The biolab conspiracy theory is an example of how Russian narratives can be seized on and refined by conspiracy theorists in the U.S., who can often spread false narratives far more effectively than Russia's own efforts. https://www.npr.org/2022/03/25/1087910880/biological-weapons-far-right-russia-ukraine oh.. so your talking points:good...people disagreeing with you talking points: bad..what a neat world u must live in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic maybe. An understanding of semantics, not so much. Etymologically based reason is far from a foolproof way to undersstand the meaning of words. For example. Does 'awful" mean full of awe? It used to. Does "terrible" mean causing terror? It used to.

Here are the facts: "In the spring of 2020, the areas recording the greatest numbers of deaths were much more likely to vote Democratic than Republican. But by the third wave of the pandemic, which began in fall 2020, the pattern had reversed: Counties that voted for Donald Trump over Joe Biden were suffering substantially more deaths from the coronavirus pandemic than those that voted for Biden over Trump. This reversal is likely a result of several factors including differences in mitigation efforts and vaccine uptake, demographic differences, and other differences that are correlated with partisanship at the county level." https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2022/03/03/the-changing-political-geography-of-covid-19-over-the-last-two-years/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
