Current Events Evidence: The election, court rulings, etc.

How the heck can Barr say to the American people he knows that federal prosecutors are abusing people but let those same people illegally prosecute Americans, violate their rights and then tell people who would have stopped it if he had another term? ??

What do you think of this? I can't believe this is happening. It affects people's lives!!!

AG Garland knows there’s evidence that this is illegal. Mr. Diaz is supposed to have had a meeting with AG Garland to stop these violations. 

I found this online but can't find the link to it anymore: It's the press release by Mr. Diaz 

 

US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SUED FOR MILLIONS DUE TO ILLEGAL PROSECUTIONS:

HUNDREDS OF POTENTIAL CASES POSSIBLE

Miami, Fl July 15, 2022

After two years of investigation, followed by over a year of stonewalling and pivoting by various federal agencies and government representatives, Coral Gables Attorney Richard Diaz has filed a multi-million-dollar Bivens lawsuit on behalf of two of his clients who he asserts were illegally prosecuted by two Tampa federal prosecutors working under the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”). The unusual lawsuit claims that the DOJ knowingly allowed two lawyers to act as federal prosecutors even though they were not duly authorized to act as federal prosecutors who illegally investigated, indicted, prosecuted and convicted both clients but likely many other individuals in the Middle District of Florida as well. Because of certain legal protections, including the statute of limitation and immunities, the lawsuit is individually against the two lawyers. But that did not deter Attorney Diaz who does not discount the possibility that this practice is not limited to this single judicial district and that if properly investigated, could result in many federal convictions-perhaps even nationwide-being challenged and successfully overturned.  We hope the DOJ will stop turning a blind eye to our allegations and finally put a stop to these illegal prosecutions.

Wikipedia takes cue from White House and re-defines ‘recession’ - The Post (unherd.com)

After 2 Straight Quarters of Negative GDP, Is America in a Recession? (reason.com)

Things must be really dire if you are actually confident that the US is likely going into recession. Thanks in large part to the amazingly incompetent leadership of one Joe Biden.

Now your Biden administration is even openly bowing down to the CCP over Pelosi's tentative visit to Taiwan.

Do you think for one second that Trump would be backing down from the CCP like Biden has done?

Vague nonsense and hypothetical nonsense   There was no “bowing down to CCP”

Anyone that dares to suggest the US is now in a recession had better be prepared for the backlash.

Anytime I check on topics and see that the first search results are "fact checks" I keep scrolling. I use Duck Duck Go more and more often now.

Libbies have mugged democracy, shat on the middle-class, and sold out the USA to China. 

And that's just the fucking bottom line. 

That was actually the official Conservative and Republican policy of Reagan/Thatcher extreme capitalism that did all that, but I’ll admit that plenty of “centrist” Democrats and Chretien/Martin Liberals played along too. 
 

Hilarious that you would even mention “mugging democracy” when your Big Lie is an actual blatant attempt to end democracy completely and Republicans fawn all over anti- democratic authoritarians like Bolsonaro and Orban.

You find 2 successful nationalist leaders distasteful do ya Beave? What do you find anti-democratic and authoritarian about either of them? I understand Orban just won another term in a landslide. Bolsonaro dragged Brazil out of a deep recession and is up for re-election this year.

Wikipedia is ok for some subjects but much more biased when it comes to politics.

Biden is much softer against China than Trump. And since I'm fair minded I would also admit that there are also  Republicans that have rewarding ties with the CCP. Mitch McConnell being one apparently.

It doesn't make it right and any politicians with ties to the CCP should be under intense scrutiny. Especially the sitting president and his drug addict son.

Chinese elite have paid some $31M to Hunter and the Bidens (nypost.com)

$31 million can buy an awful lot of influence.

You obviously don’t know anything about Hungary, which isn’t even considered to be democracy anymore. Since he seized control with a supermajority over a decade ago, Orban and his oligarchs has seized control of 90% of all public and privately owned media which refuse to run ads for opposition political parties, his party has rewritten the country’s constitution at will, placing the courts that investigate corruption and oversee elections under their direct control, mass-purged the public service and courts of career officials and replaced them with party  loyalists, gerrymandering the entire country before every election to continue producing supermajorities for them, expropriating any business that is or could fund opposition groups or using regulatory abuse to shut them down entirely, running fake candidates and fake parties in every election to confuse opposition voters, the list goes on.

 

Orbanz style of government is called “authoritarian democracy” or “soft fascism” in that it still has all the superficial symbols of democracy like the right to vote and free speech but the game is rigged to only produce one result (a Fidesz Party supermajority) with minimal use of Putin-style “hard” tactics like killing and jailing critics.

Meanwhile right wing propagandist, conspiracy theorist, and all-round disgusting human being Alex Jones finally got his kermuffins this week from a TEXAS JURY that ruled he must pay around $50 million total to the families of the murdered Sandy Hook children he and his vile minions senselessly harassed over the years . 
 

He got off easy considering how many times the judge found him to be lying on the stand and also playing hooky from court. And yet instead of receiving perjury and contempt charges, he only received repeated verbal warnings that he mostly ignored. 

My favourite part was when Alex’s incompetent lawyer accidentally sent a copy of Alex’s entire phone….including 2 years of messages where he admits to lying under oath….to the opposing lawyer.  And then when promptly informed of his mistake he did nothing to try to get it excluded from evidence.
 

That sums up this whole conspiracy-populist right wing movement for you, evil AND massively ignorant and  incompetent.

America has been a joke since the Trump buffoon took office and it was a tragedy ling before that. 
 

Its no less safe than it has been in recent years. As for prosperity, the monthly jobs report out today showed that the US economy created 528,000 new jobs last month -!more than double what economists had predicted - as the unemployment rate fell to 3.5%.  It was the 19th consecutive month of positive job growth. The US has regenerated all of the jobs lost during the Trump administration at the start of COVID. The May and June numbers weee equally rosy and the trailing  final numbers for those months, also now released, show they created 28,000 more jobs than initially reported.

The report also shows that American workers have received a 5.2% increase in average earnings over the past 12 months, which was also above expert forecasts.

There is an engineered recession coming though, because the economy is too hot and prosperous, which is driving inflation. So central banks are raising interest rates until the economy cools and contracts a little.

 You're basically saying that despite everything being much more expensive for Americans now, they are in fact better off.

 Nonsense.

If things were as rosy as you are suggesting Biden would naturally be running for a second term. Barring a miracle, he will not be allowed to run by his puppet masters in the Democratic party. He will likely step down because of health reasons (cognitive decline) and some new puppet will be installed.

Even if Americans are getting 5.2% increase in earnings, it pales compared to the current rate of inflation which is perilously close to 10%.

Do the math.

[herbie]

And you're saying Biden is the cause of inflation? Do tell us how.

We're ignorant Libbies who know The Orange Asshole would be well on his way to turning the USA into a World Class Shithole if he really won the election. THe alternative to Biden has ZERO to offer.

He is super old, I don’t think he should run again either. 
 

Inflation is a worldwide problem its not something caused by Biden and you people should know better than to believe the right wing charlatans peddling simple cures for complex worldwide problems

 

  But everyone agrees that inflation is temporary and is largely a result of the economic boom coupled with mass retirement of baby boomers, which was accelerated by the pandemic and then followed by other people leaving their old jobs to fill the boomers’ vacancies, especially leaving front line “essential worker” jobs for better opportunities and to work from home. Inflation will return to near-normal rates around this time next year by most estimates

You're wrong.

Wikipedia has administrators that are special editors that have been given the power to overrule other editors and make final decisions. Some of the administrators even openly advertise that they are socialist. 

Like the rest of the MSM, Wikipedia also did their best to discredit the Hunter laptop story. Just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to coverage on potentially damaging political stories. Protect the left, attack and discredit the conservatives.

This is why Wikipedia can't be trusted on certain topics.

It’s always been the case that you can’t trust Wikipedia for controversial or disputed topics simply because interest groups mount campaigns to change entries.  Famously, over a decade ago Stephen Colbert was able to convince enough of his viewers to officially change  Wikipedia's entry on elephants to falsely state that the elephant population has tripled over the last six months. It was part of a bit he did about “Wikiality” - the idea thanks to the intense, reality is now unfortunately subject to revision and if you convince enough people that something false is actually true, it ends up becoming accepted as the truth. I guess Republicans were watching with all their Big Lie and constant fake news nonsense.  
 

Im not here to defend Wikipedia but I doubt their administrators are so numerous and have so much free time as to monitor and control the content of millions  of pages of content which are constantly edited by literally anyone in the world   Saying that their reporting of Hunter Biden’s laptop mirrors mainstream coverage of it makes sense.

If you could have been bothered to watch the video link I posted, there are in fact editors that pretty much do it full time.  As an example, a long time contributor who mainly covers sports changed the description of Antifa from left-wing and minimizing it's regular use of violence to being far-left wing. Within 3 minutes someone deleted the word "far".

Stossel himself made an edit on the concentration camp page which was mostly about Trump and inserted the fact that it was Obama that built those cages in the first place. Within a day, that corrected edit was removed.

The Hunter laptop story was just another example of how the MSM did everything they could to suppress and lie about a story they knew was probably true. We all know the story is true. They do this because they have little interest in reporting the truth and so their mission is to demonize one side and help their precious Democrats push their far-left agenda.
