---Donald Trump was deposed yesterday when he answered questions under oath on Wednesday in a lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll, a magazine columnist who says he raped her in the mid-1990s in a department store dressing room---
In your life has any other noteworthy person been more investigated than Trump? So far nothing has stuck.
Taxes, valuations of his properties, Russia nonsense, this rape thing now, Jan 6, impeachment 1 for wanting KB Ukraine investigated, Mar a Lago raid, stormy Daniels,

A little more than meets the eye It's like Trump running on 2024 and winning is an existential threat to some powerful cartel above the law

LoLz. Abegi you have no point.
Lord help you remove your fixation on media lies about Ukraine vs Russia war. The South African president whom I should believe more than a biased moniker says the war would have been avoided if NATO did not expand eastwards
They did, Putin had a red line drawn.

An Arizona GOP candidate who said he wanted “our children protected from the progressive left" was arrested by a police officer who caught him MASTURBATING outside of a preschool.

After his arrest, the Republican pervert said, “I bleeped up. I’m really stressed.”
That tells you people with queer paedo tendencies cut across both democrats and republicans
Republicans hide under morality and religion, whether this has an effect on the overall numbers of republican paedos I can't tell.

I am not turning my opinion into law.

You don't have to fight this, you sound contradictory anytime you post.

RvW should be killed, I support.

States should decide and if the people don't like the laws of their state then they should vote lawmakers in and out.

The difference between I and you is that I believe in something, you on the other hand are trying to please amazontopa. Woke, as usual.
In the process of voting my body my choice , some of the candidates are pushing ideas like transgendering children, banning beef, packing supreme court, abortion on demand, open borders no Ukraine peace talks, Russia russia, banning fossil fuels etc.

That is all overlooked because the candidate wants abortion as a right.

---Why is America's DoJ corrupt---when John Durham himself led the investigation and was the main prosecutor in this case (this is the 2nd case Durham have lost in court)---even with Trump Judge and jurors---Igor Danchenko still walked free---not guilty on all four charges---

---Next item on MAGAs agenda is Hunter Biden's laptop---
Igor Danchenko is not guilty of what?

Put it in another way. He told FBI that he spoke to Millian on 4 occasions while in reality the two never spoke.
That was not a lie? Words fail me
The jury decodes on the guilt, the judge hands down the appropriate sentence.

I've got a question. The US has long range AWACS operating outside Ukraine airspace. They are able to pick Russia movements, airborne crafts,missile launches.
Are they passing that data to Ukraine ground troops . If they are then NATO is fighting Russia, the awacs component is a very strong force multiplier

America DoJ is corrupt beyond repair. Jury . Igor Danchenko not guilty of lying to FBI.

On 4 occasions Igor told FBI that he had spoken on phone a CIA asset called Sergei Millan.
It's recorded on the forms filled in by fbi of Igor claim 4 times to have spolen to Sergei.

In reality Igor Danchenko has NEVER spolen to Sergei Millan On those 4 ocassions Igor is clearly lying.

The jury finds him NoT guilty.
Not guilty of what?

---Before Trump left office---he imposed massive tariffs on good entering America---in relation to his America First mantra---which have since caused higher prices on goods and services---on the other hand MAGAs have failed to acknowledge that U.S. corporates have recorded massive profits which are 50 -year high due to low taxes by Trump and his GOP associates---also U.S. corporates have been increasing their prices higher than increasing costs---
See that has nothing to do with high inflation. The Davos Forum with it's Build Back Better is what has driven inflation, taxing energy, spending more on renewables, freebies to the COVID-19 locked down victims. etc.

---Inflation is going up in every advanced economy in the world, not just in the U.S.---and this is not caused by Joe Biden---amongst other things is the aftermath of the covid 19 lockdown which paralysed economies around the world and the current energy crisis from the Russia-Ukraine war---
I understand global oil and WEF plans but for America, was inflation waiting for Trump to vacate the seat?COVID lockdown was largely over Trump's term , after he left people resumed office jobs imany places , should have result in economic growth . Current energy crisis is driven by the West not letting negotiations.

Democrats are dolts.

Inflation from 1.4% to 8.2% within 18 months causing huge price hikes.

Energy independence crushed Day One because of climate change hoax.

Border open .. Democrats pretend to like immigrants but will investigate a Governors who sentp them 50 illegal aliens.
Drugs coming in thru the border
Cartels change thousands to use the border routes : 5m aliens means open border has earned the cartels at least $10B .

How do people support such policies in their right minds. The democrats are more bothered by voter suppression (Read require voter ID) and actions that reduce their votes
Abortions
Drugs/Open borders..
LBGFTQ agenda. Hello. Gay people can never recreate.
I believe more democrats die of drugs and abortions than republicans.

Democrats and the left who support such need reeducation. China has ready made camps

Joe Biden is destroying the economy deliberately
while his dolts stand and cheer believing he is doing the right thing.
Joe is digging a hole whole claiming he is burying the hole.
The democrats can't see that. Partly TDS .

Also can't you see how ridiculous you are being? You are saying Obama negotiating is treason but you're using an example of someone else negotiating. Bwahahahahaha.
What sort of questions that? Were they supposed to sign a treaty?
In the name of protecting deeds of Obama you twist yourself into a pretzel.

Simple fact. Russia didn't feel comfy with missiles in Poland. Obama scrapped the plan.

No matter how you twist it. I've shown you the promises NATO made to Russia, and you want a signed treaty.

Putin said NATO in Ukraine is a redline. He drew it and is waging war. He needed a signed declaration.

Obama the abject failure. Drew a red line in Syria over CW and did nothing. At least Trump knocked off some planes n hangars.

I am not a MAGA, nor am I in the USA and I cannot be a Republican. It still does not make sense.

You are clueless about why Obama did not put the Missile defense system around Russia.
Saint Obama has to be whitewashed by liberal media that Victorusa consumes

: “We appreciate the responsible approach of the U.S. president toward implementing our agreements.”

In other words, pulling back the missile defense shield was part of Obama’s “reset” of relations with Russia. Obama’s idea for a smaller missile shield not in Poland was intended to be “less threatening” to Russia and was greeted that way.


“Obama has been seeking a stronger relationship with Russia,” CNN explained at the time, “and better cooperation from the Kremlin to support tough U.N. economic sanctions against Iran if it continues to pursue its nuclear ambitions



Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. On March 6, 2009, Clinton met with the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Prior to their working dinner, she gave him an unusual gift.

Hillary Clinton opened the little box and presented Lavrov with a red plastic button. The red “reset button” had the word “peregruzka” inscribed in Russian on its base. The word “Reset” was also written in English. Hillary Clinton then told Lavrov, “I would like to present you with a little gift that represents what President Obama and Vice President Biden and I have been saying and that is, we want to reset our relationship, and so we will do it together.

A feminist

Human parents may evict their fetal tenant around nine months to unburden themselves of its thirst for nutrients, or perhaps the baby gladly vacates the premises, having hit the point of diminishing returns.

Jessica Ayers, an evolutionary social psychologist at Boise State University, told me. The goals of child and parent, however, don’t always align, even when one is growing inside the other. Fetuses may maximize their chances of surviving after birth by extracting as many resources from their parent as they can. Their tool for mooching is the placenta—technically, the very first organ that any human produces, Ayers said—which allows a fetus to access its mother’s blood vessels and siphon out nutrients. The human placenta actually entrenches itself so aggressively into the uterine wall that it sometimes leads to severe hemorrhaging at birth,

Questions that democrats should be asking of Joe Biden instead of how "dangerous" Trump is


Are You Better Off?


The November midterm elections will be a national referendum on Joe Biden's presidency.

The 8 key considerations when answering the question in the above title are:
P
1. Inflation and the Economy - Has Joe Biden been successful in reducing inflation and managing the overall economy?

2. Southern Border - Is the Joe Biden immigration policy working at our southern borders?

3. Safety - Is Joe Biden doing enough to build the conditions and enablers for a robust law enforcement policy to keep Americans safe?

4. Parental Rights - Is Joe Biden and his Justice Department doing enough to encourage parents to get involved in the education of their children?

5. Energy Policy - Has the Joe Biden energy policy helped American's become energy independent?

6. Spending - Has Joe Biden been able to rein in excessive spending?

7. Taxation - Has Joe Biden been able to reduce our tax burden?

8. Confidence - Is consumer and business confidence on the upswing or downswing? Why?



What Joe Promised in his campaign

Joe Biden’s campaign told America what the octogenarian would do if the American people were stupid enough to make him president:

Open the southern border

Free criminals

Destroy US energy industry

Flood the streets with deadly drugs

Defund local police

Groom your kids for genital mutilation

Make sure every pregnancy ends in abortion

Kick off record-breaking inflation with profligate spending

Train people to not work

Extend the Covid health emergency forever

Punish the productive

Reward the freeloaders

It was all there in his rare campaign appearances, but people thought they were gaffes

And if Obama had set up the missile shield will it not be the same you who would have been condemning him for it. Let's test it. Are you in favour of Ukraine joining NATO, yes or no, no long story.

Oga don't dodge this question. LoLz
I been there on this thread. Ukraine can join NATO. Russia feels it's a threat to their security. Poland yesterday installed Patriot anti air missiles. These missile shields can also be offensive. If Ukraine joins NATO and install their missile shields only 500km from Moscow, that will not sit well with the Russian.
NATO is a military body solely formed to check Russia Warsaw pact countries.

For the time being and foreseeable future Ukraine can't join NATO unless Russians leave all their newly acquired territory. An attack on one NATO nation is an attack on all of them.

What are the benefits of Ukraine joining NATO? Most of their war machines are Soviet design, their artillery uses Soviet caliber, It will be expensive to transition to NATo standards like 5.56mm ammunition as opposed to their 7.62mm.

How about Russia builds a base in Cuba? Or Panama?

Paying 4 times more for gas than your own companies is hardly like friendship," Emmanuel Macron said about American gas prices.
It makes a lot of sense to me. America is selling them LNG which has to be converted before it reaches the final consumer. Add to the transportation costs and there are at least 4 major players. The gas driller, the LNG converter, the transporter, the EU LNG conversion down to the final retailer.
With Russia it's Gazprom all the way. Drill and pump into EU gas storage.

The Saudi/Iran feud is more religious than political and has persisted for over 1300 years. I don't think Russia can offer a Truce on this. The only thing that may unite those two countries will be a mutual attack on Israel in the future.
And after that the hostilities resume immediately. The solution for the feud is for Iran to get rid of the theocrats, this requires external help. Joe Biden is sympathetic to Iran, lessening sanctions and working on the nuclear deal.

The US is likely to stop it's security guarantee to Saudi Arabia. Saudi (Sunni sect) can now go and beg Russia for protection from Iran (Shia sect).
Joe Biden actions towards energy has been to make it more expensive. Reduce America output, reduce Russia gas supplies by sanctions and inflaming the war, escalate ME tensions, if he dumps Saudia the oil market becomes volatile.
It would take several days to reverse the war on energy , Biden is making it worse

I use my head. Trump declassified documents showing how corrupt FBI ran the Russia collusion esp 4 FISA warrants. Warrants presented to the judges, one of them has been appointed to review the classification of docs taken from Trump. This judge signed one of the FISA warrants , he has the highest level clearance.

FISA warrants were based on lies, FBI knew it was all crap yet presented them to a court to approve spying Trump campaign.
Right now FBI is holding onto a 100 pages saying they themselves will review them.Why not the special master judge who has clearance to review them. It doesn't take stupid to realise they most likely incriminate FBI top dogs.And that the judge Special Master will see how they brought to him a pile of dung to sign.

---You too can enlighten us---
However based on the bill signed into law by Trump himself in January 2018---it is a felony which carries a 5 years prison sentence to mishandle and movement of classified documents---nobody is above the law, including the POTUS---
Are those documents Trump had classified. Base it on the memo I showed him declassifying crossfire hurricane.
FBI does not want anyone to review the documents, remember that judge has the highest clearance. Some of the documents declassified were presented to the said judge in their FISA warrant on Carter Page. The judge will obviously see how the FBI decieved him.
The FBI don't want the judge looking at a 100 pages saying they are classified. They could be classified because they expose names of corrupt FBI, just like they hired Igor Danchenkor as a Informant, preventing his name from being revealed during the Mueller inquisition. They call this protecting sources and methods
