And what news source, and from what country, is not guilty of the same behaviour??.

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
Would this news show up in any American Publication? Will wait with bated breath for a mention on CNN, or any of the U.S. news outlets, or maybe it is just a Russian smear.

"John Paul Mac Isaac’s findings from the data on the hard drive belonging to Joe Biden’s son were reported on in October by the New York Post. Twitter censored the story, blocking it from being shared and claiming the report was based on information from potentially “hacked materials.”"

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
Apparently the common joke in Eastern EUrope and Russia these days, following the U S Election, is the comment: "America has spent sooh much time exporting democracy over the years, they've forgotten how to operate any of it at home!"

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
The Ruskies certainly got that right!The document states that Putin, his spy chiefs, and top ministers agreed that a victory for a “mentally unstable” Trump would permanently weaken the United States.

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
"A document that The Guardian claims is from the Kremlin cryptically refers to “certain events"
The Guardian claims is from the Kremlin? without showing any evidence of how they got this document? who supplied them with it? or even who dreamed it up?? Cannot even name the "certain events"?
And some on here accept it as gospel? Shows how gullible a percentage of the population is.
From the article first quoted
" The document is suspiciously light on actual evidence of kompromat, and it includes a discussion of potential social media influence campaigns that were already well underway, he wrote."
"The Daily Beast has not reviewed the supposed Kremlin leak, and The Guardian has not definitively proven it to be authentic. Questions about its veracity were raised almost immediately after its release, with some Russian Twitter users highlighting linguistic errors in the document, and words not used by native Russian speakers."

From The Independent:
"Miles Taylor, a senior staffer in the Department of Homeland Security during the Trump administration, has described the former president’s ongoing influence over the GOP as the country’s “No. 1 national security threat”."

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
Of course not but you will see how this plays out.
Until then "Trump" will remain the hilarious trigger word for the Democrats who are either reduced to slobbering babies curled up in a foetal position by the very mention of his name or they become so incensed that their blood pressure spikes and their eyes try to pop out of their heads. I love watching, he plays the Democrats like an accomplished fisherman plays fish 'till they are exhausted.

Of course, the rioters who tried to set Portland on fire for six months, who threw Molotov cocktails at police in the streets, who looted downtown stores were held accountable, right? No, the Democratic city attorney just raised the barrier on what defined a criminal act so they walked away free.

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
Why is there not any reaction to this news item? Is it because Ashleigh Babbit was a law abiding citizen, not a person with a long long rap sheet, or the wrong skin colour?

"“Specifically, the investigation revealed no evidence to establish that, at the time the officer fired a single shot at Ms. Babbitt, the officer did not reasonably believe that it was necessary to do so in self-defense or in defense of the Members of Congress and others evacuating the House Chamber,” prosecutors said."
