  1. This one sentence is a masterpiece of journalistic writing. "Precisely what led so many people to offer Thomas money and other gifts remains an open question." *Chef's kiss*
  2. Define a credible source. What’s your credible source for firing the prosecutor being something Biden decided would be done? Heres the thing - firing the prosecutor was an official state department policy goal before Biden got involved. It was an international policy goal shared with the leadership of the EU and the World Bank. The reason for that is not that senior diplomats across the world really wanted Joe Biden to keep getting a few kickbacks from his kid. The reason is that the prosecutor was abjectly corrupt, was actually slow rolling the Burisma investigation among others, and was helping sustain the endemic Ukrainian corruption that was siphoning off and lessening the effectiveness of all the aid being provided. Biden was just the ‘big enough’ stick that was used to make the Ukrainian government at the time do what almost the entire west wanted them to do. It was not his policy. It was not his decision. The fact that all of this is news to you just shows what an uninformed right wing puppet you are, and how much of your news comes from the conservative media echo chamber.
  3. I vaguely recall back in the mists of time that cancel culture and the practice of universities and student groups deplatforming ‘undesirable’ speakers was one of the greatest extant threats to free American society. I believe it was a truth universally accepted on the Right that even if an actual, literal Nazi was invited by one student group to speak at a university, other students should meet them on the battlefield of ideas, and demanding instead that they be stopped from speaking or the group who invited them sanctioned in any way would be unconscionable. I wonder what changed.
  4. Keep in mind, this is the guy (maybe even the only one?) who staunchly defended Trump over the 'bleach and very strong light' covid treatment speech. Seriously, even that was not a bridge too far for him when it came to toeing the party line.
  5. I take it you've never criticized anything Biden has ever said, then? All speech is free speech, and free speech is always to be supported, right?

    Unfortunately, by simply ignoring his tendency to try and demolish democracy and the rules based order in politics as we know it, these people are acting just as moronically as the ones who hang on his every word. Especially when they try and convince themselves that it's no different to supporting a Democrat, and buy into any anti-Biden conspiracy going just so they don't have to think too hard about what voting for Trump means.
  7. His legal team made one fatal mistake: "If the jury awards Freeman and Moss what they are seeking, his lawyer, Joseph Sibley said, it "will be the end of Mr. Giuliani."" I think the jury heard that and immediately said "OK!"
  8. Ah, so you're one of those Republican parrots. This is one of those things that has been so thoroughly dismantled as an anti-Biden story for anyone willing to engage their own brain for all of ten seconds that it's just not worth anyone's time to explain it to you again. You're clearly never going to change your mind no matter what anyone says.
  9. First, those are two different things. There are many other reasons not to think highly of someone than corruption. You said corruption, and are now frantically backpedalling because you can't back it up. Second, you used the word 'or'. So while the second group may not be worth your time, the first group surely is worth your time - they only think highly of Biden because they don't know what you know. So why keep it to yourself? Do you want him to win?
  10. It’s even worse than that - like with Trump in NY the trial is just to decide damages. Rudy refused to engage with the discovery process until summary judgement was made against him. So he’s standing outside court saying he regrets nothing and makes no apologies because all the things he said were true…. when it’s already a matter of legal fact that they were not true and were intentionally defamatory.
  11. As far as British infrastructure projects go that wouldn't be too terrible, tbh.
  12. Not so, they have mountains of evidence, they keep telling us! For instance Comer knows that Hunter's checks to Joe aren't really loan repayments. He knows this because when he lent his teenage daughter a little bit of emergency spending money in college he never asked for it back Therefore if Biden had lent his 50 year old son money for rent and to buy a car he definitely wouldn't have asked for it back either. That's ironclad evidence, sheeple!
  13. Why post at all if you refuse to actually say anything? I hope your back's ok after moving those goalposts so fast.
  14. Judge sentences Black child, 10, to three months of probation for peeing in public The fact that the arrest happened at all was so egregious it led to one cop being fired and another facing disciplinary measures... but prosecutors still forced a conviction by threatening the family with an upgraded charge that would leave the small child with a criminal record for peeing under his parent's car? What is it with the US Justice system's fixation on never backing down from any fight where their judgement or authority is challenged, no matter whether it serves the cause of justice or runs directly against it?
  15. But only the brain of a delusional you would think that's what's just happened. Ohio received $140 million of the $7.5 billion federal pool and has used around $18 million of it to create these new stations. Companies like Pilot Travel Centers, TH Midwest, Francis Energy, Meijer Stores, EVgo Services, ChargeNet Stations, and Equilon/Shell have all teamed up to pitch in $6 million as well. You mentioned something about reality earlier in the thread - maybe try joining us in it one day?
  16. Lol, so again you're asked specificaly what your allegations against Biden are, and your answer is "everyone knows how bad Trump is, and they're all the same!"
  17. Business as usual from one of the least intellectually curious people on this forum. I suppose in some ways it must be comforting to just hide behind 'both sides are the same!' all the time instead of ever having to bother finding anything out about the things being discussed
  18. Philosophy question - is a model Typhoon that a human is able to fly actually a good model?
  19. To, ummm, find out if anything happened? And if something happened, what was it? And then maybe if they have time - who did it, are they connected to the President, and was it illegal? But don’t worry, unlike those very specifically targeted Trump impeachments, this is in no way just a political stunt!
  20. I think you’re deliberately missing the point. Loving and Jeter didn’t enlist the help of church staff willing to go to prison - they deliberately went out of state where it was not illegal, which is the exact opposite of your suggestion. Rosa Parks also didn’t have to persuade the bus company and it’s employees to accept criminal liability. It might still happen, but it’s not the same thing.
  21. Doesn’t their statute include the ability to sue the shit out of anyone who helped her leave the state?
  22. No, tone deaf is saying something upsetting or offensive without realising it. Kinda like a failure to read the room. Double speak is completely different. I have no idea what book or author told you they were the same. Of course! That’s why you should hope that Biden gets re-elected, not Trump. Do you see the danger of deliberately not prosecuting criminals just because they are powerful or popular politicians?
  23. Why does the left seek Trump's incarceration? Because he did crimes. Duh. No. Why?
  24. No, those are different things.
  25. Again I'd point to the endless stream of new threads you post on the same old topics. Not an accident but certainly an irony.
