You like using Q, Kraken to browbeat , that way you avoid answering

As for those thugs I dont know them but have youi not heard of cases where criminals were released on bail then immediately went on murder rampages? Or is that Q? I also think Illinois has a no cash bail law in their books.

It would have been my line of thought if that someone had not tried to get his case before a judge he appointed but woefully failed as usual.
Since you cannot see the big picture the current AG Garland was slated to be the next nominee for the Supreme Court at the end of Obama's term but GOP had majority in senate.McConnel refused to go ahead with the vetting until after the elections which Trump won. Trump went ahead and appointed 3 judges .
After Joe Biden was seated he appointed Garland as the AG.
You expect Garland to be neutral to Republicans now that he runs the DOJ?

I dont know how judges are selected for each case but nearly all Trump related cases have been before Democrat appointed judges which is a surprising? coincidence. Maybe you can explain how cases are assigned to the judges.

The judge who approved the raid to Trump residence was appointed by Clinton. The judge who has ordered a Special Master to review the documents taken away from Trump is a Trump appointee - She determined that there were already leaks to the media. ( nuclear codes, Kim Jon Un etc) . the DOJ does not want a Special Master maybe so that the leaks can continue I suppose.

Whats wrong with you two? I like America as a world power it has kept many rogue regimes in check. The current corrupt Biden for instance wants to give the Iran 7B the day a deal is signed. Iran will just ramp up terrorism in the Middle East .The current regime is very selective on whom to prosecute and bankrupt.
Joe Biden seems to be doing the bidding for the Chinese , Its only a matter of time before the Chinese make a move on Taiwan they know Biden will do zilch.
Joe Biden is sending billions of dollars to Ukraine yet they could not get 25B to build a wall, at least to reduce the amount of fentanyl, cartels and other drugs.
The media I mentioned, show me one single article where they wrote of Trump in a positive light.
The left led by Biden is breaking down the society norms and forcing everyone to accept their world view as the correct one.

Judge dismisses Trump lawsuit against Clinton, DNC, officials involved in Russia probe

A federal judge dismissed former President Trump’s lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee and a number of other high-profile figures involved in creating the narrative that he and his 2016 presidential campaign were colluding with Russia.
This week, U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks threw out the lawsuit, saying that "most of" Trump’s claims were "unsupported by any legal authority" and said the lawsuit lacks "substance.

Where did China have dominance a thousand years ago, bas?
Known for its artistic, inventive and cultural innovations, the Tang dynasty is considered a ‘golden age’ of Chinese history. Spanning from 618-906 AD, the dynasty saw a flourishing of poetry and painting, the creation of famed tricoloured glazed pottery and woodblock prints and the advent of pioneering inventions, such as gunpowder , which ultimately changed the world.

Why is that comedian letting his country to be bombed to stone age and thousands killed? Is it the corruption from aid money proffered. He is up against an enemy he can never defeat if all pretence of war crimes are dropped of which the Ukraine forces are also guilty of in the Eastern separatist regions.

The west is propping him up creating a global energy and food crisis. In the process the whole world is suffering because these guys in the western hemisphere are arming that comedian.
Downing a plane here and shooting a few tanks then gloating about it is not winning a war,

You keep digging deeper in the pit of stupidity.

Have you not heard that the oyinbo who made pencil made eraser? It stems from agreements Europeans signed with African chiefs to steal their African land. Some of those land acquisition agreements were blank pieces of paper that were filled in after the chiefs had thumprinted. The oyinbo just had to make them understand. Most Africans learn this simple pencil eraser relationship so the mistake is not repeated and we find ourselves back in chains.

Basilico, written agreements can be rewritten, so what makes you think an unwritten agreement is binding because it is "understood"?

And that's apart from the lack of written detail that you claim is "understood".

Forgive me. I have wasted enough time on you today and will be taking the advise below.
I said Russia did not expect NATO to expand eastwards which they did. There was an unwritten agreement which was flouted. You want a written agreement.
I also showed that US has committed to defend Taiwan , showed Biden confirming that Yet there is no written agreement.

The west and you Buda and your fellow Cronnies here are more like a dictator. you tend to want to silence dissenting words.

Accusing the west of provocation does not mean hate for the west.

As I said, if they are not willing to send their soldiers to fight and die, They should not be provocating. I will also tell Basilico that Russia does not have the right to dictate to any nation. If they want to Dictate, they will have to fight for it which they are doing. Ukraine too has to fight for the freedom to join Nato which they are doing.

But the West should not put fuel to the Situation by enticing Ukraine to Join them if they are not going to pick up weapons and actually help Ukraine Join them.

The proxy wars they are fighting is not enough
Buda gets me wrong most of the time. I do not hate america. I hate the left who are working day and night to transform it to their ( marxist?) utopia.
If China became the sole superpower the whole world would go up in flames. The Chinese are after dominance which they had thousands of years ago.
I have said here that I prefer America as the sole superpower. America has been a force of good on many occasions , helping developing nations in matters health, nutrition, peace . They have also started wars which were not necesssary.
My grouse with America today is the leftists in charge who are transforming America into a police state, overthrowing social norms, anti Xtian . Who think they are smarter than the rest of the world combined.
In the Ukraine case why do they need it to join NATO?
In the video I posted, joining NATO is one of the reasons Putin the bully invaded. The hidden reason is that he does not want Ukraine to replace Russia as the dominant energy supplier to Europe. Again the Ukrainians have been killing pro Russia separatists in the Eastern Ukraine so that was another excuse for him to invade and protect the mostly Russian speaking Eastern Ukrainians.
So the invasion is two fold. Get their oil and prevent them from undercutting Russia. Ukraine has been charging Russia billions for the pipeline through their territory forcing Russia to build several pipelines bypassing Ukraine.

Since you seem to trust this source, perhaps you'd trust them on how sanctions are affecting Russia.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLyUeKa2jzY
Whether sanctions are affecting are affecting Russia is not cause to celebrate. Ukraine cities have been reduced to rubble, many have fled and many have died. Ukrainians. Russians too have had their casualties But the news coming out is usually from biased western sources.

The effect of the war has been to precipitate a food and energy crisis. Instead of working out a solution the West is sending arms and money to Ukraine which for all intents and purposes is prolonging the war. Ukraine cannot win the war against Russia, they can shoot down some tanks, planes and drones but their cities are being laid to waste. Russia I saw somewhere respond with 10 times artillery barrages for every single one fired at them.

The West is telling its citizens to conserve energy, in Moldova a website to aid in ordering firewood for winter use already caused the resignation of a Minister there.
Whats the point of prolonging the war if people have to turn to firewood. Germany which shut down nuclear plants has two on standby now.
These leaders are punishing their own citizens In the guise of Putin is a monster ( he is not a good guy- KGB) . Food prices have shot up all over the world, energy prices have also shot up .
A resolution should be worked out, the more the war is prolonged the more the EU citizens suffer.

To top it up the rouble to the dollar moved from 127 in Feb to 61 by today.
Europe is paying expensive gas from China which Putin is selling to at a discount. I saw somewhere that in August he had revenues of 90B as compared to 60B last year and thats for a lower quantity because the prices have shot up.

Citizens will protest. I do hope CNN showed this smiley smiley

You speak as if I support the antagonisation of Russia, which I don't. Ukraine however, is a sovereign nation that elected a president which Russia did not like and deposed and installed their own person in Ukraine who then got voted out for a person whom the people wanted. If they then choose then to join NATO, that is their sovereign democratic right and choice which Russia has not legal right to oppose.

If the burglar is my neighbour, they must already rent or own property near to mine, so I'd be shutting the gate after the horse has bolted if I'm objecting after they become my neighbour. That said, if the landlord who owns the neighbouring property wants to rent it to my neighbour who is a burglar, I have no right opposing either of them. I can of course rent the house myself, paying more than my neighbour who is a burglar wants to rent it for to keep my neighbour who is a burglar out, but god help me if my neighbour who is a burglar offers much more because they are competent at their burglary profession or if the landlord of the neighbouring house is a member of the same gang as my neighbour who is a burglar, though you need to wonder what I be doing living in my property and renting the neighbouring property too.

Glad to see you at least disagree with basilico who thinks Russia should dictate to Ukraine and Europe.
It was an unwritten agreement after the fall that NATO would not expand eastwards , which they consequently did.
Its commonly known that Russia has been seeething with anger over NATO, Their plan to put up a defensive shield does not go well . Because a defensive shield can be quickly turned into an offensive one where from Ukraine Moscow is only 500 miles away .

Anyway those are geopolitics. Putin is an expansionist too , with Crimea sea port he wants a land corridor to Russia.

What haven't we seen for the past 4-6 yrs. They claim Trump was racist, they said he was a "foreign agent" in the White house - a Putin asset, they claimed He was an illegitimate President and stole the election via Collusion with Russia (Putin) etc I can go on and on - we all know the story.

The issue with the Russia-Ukraine War is that the Establishment Republicans and Democrats are milking it while they can, churning out Billions of Dollars and sending them to Ukraine. Of course they get huge kick backs, cash backs, call it whatever. They are enriching themselves while virtue signalling like they are doing some righteous thing or being on the right side of history in their support for Ukraine. The whole thing is deception.
The left has reached a "self actualization" level where they can do anything and half the population will support them because of intense propaganda. Take the case of the vaccines being safe and 98% effective. Any doctor who went against the grain was hounded. A vaccine denier. the climate crisis also , these guys are buying beach houses while screaming that Manhattan will be flooded due to climate change. This august due to climate change they had predicted the worst huricanes. There was not a single one. They were very sad but they explain that climate change causes disruption in the weather and climate. And leftists swallow that BS.

At the start I questioned why NATO wants Ukraine to join. That was a redline drawn up many years ago.
They sanctioned Russia , removed them from the SWIFT system. NOw Putin has cut off Nordstream II and the EU is crying about being held energy hostage, as if they themselves are not holding Russians hostage in the money transfer market.

Trump has never and will never start or give the war machines any war they'd love to get into. He promised "Peace through Strength", strengthened the military like never before. But he only used the American military strength as a deterrence to American enemies. When you add to the fact that even Putin couldn't read Trump cos of his unpredictable nature. Trump was able to keep America from needless war - the very first to do so despite Democrats' fear mongering that Trump would go to war. The opposite was the case.

The reason why they are afraid of Trump is the same reason they were afraid of him running for Office in 2016. That hasn't changed. It's because Trump is not like them - the typical Establishment Politicians (whether it's Dems. Or Republicans), Trump would refuse to be controlled by them, and he's not a globalist.
Exactly. Looks like there is a lot of corruption in DC. All that money going to Ukraine to fuel a war. Is it really all going there or some of it is being kicked back?

Of late democrats say any blatant lie and they know half the country willl believe once they cordinate with the media, For instance Joe Biden says he knew nothing about his sons deals , yet there is a photo of him with the business partners. Some here believe that lie because media gives it a total blackout.
On the first day a journalist claimed that Trump had removed a bust of Churchill from the oval office which was a total lie. Media ran away with that lie, they never retracted after the lie was debunked.
From day one Trump has been attacked relentlessly by democrats, media and Big Tech,
Adam Schiff claimed so many times that the evidence of the Russia hoax was overwhelming
