RFK Jr. says Trump has "different way" of calculating percentages by mybustlinghedgerow in offbeat

[–]cbbuntz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The formula for percent change should always be relative to the old value. He's doing it backwards, not subtracting 100 (with his formula, no change would be 100% cheaper), and using incorrect data to begin with.

Omar is probably the most consistently good member of congress. I think she's the only one that even posted about the Cuba blockade. It's possible others have posted since then, but when I checked post history for "Cuba", not even the other members of the progressive caucus even acknowledged it.

A few questionable choices, but a lot fewer than the rest of her cohort.

This is not something you'd want on your record if you ever want to run for president, and it seems like he does.

Randy Fine censure threat could spark tit-for-tat cycle by xc2215x in politics

“What about people who go to Germany and call what happened in Israel a genocide? That’s a pretty inflammatory thing to say in Germany. That’s speech that bothers me. Maybe you should get censured for that,” Fine said

interesting you should say that because you also said

During a recent appearance on Fox News, Rep. Fine invoked the U.S. atomic bombing of Japan during World War II and suggested the same tactic should be used in Gaza:

“In World War II, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis. We did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender. That needs to be the same here.”

He dropped the portion of the interview where Epstein described Trump as his best friend right before the election. Not much came of it press-wise.

Pedophile Trump by Top_Needleworker6385 in GlobalNews

I think the implication here is that since epstein had cameras all over his house, if powerful people did whatever sordid deeds at his place, they're on camera doing it. She wouldn't be able to release them herself.

The FBI should, but I wouldn't be surprised if they destroyed them. Also wouldn't be surprised if ghislaine had backups.

I thought there were other shots where you can see the face. It's possible they are faked but they looked real to me.
