*BTW, Al Jazeera in my mind are indelibly linked with Al Qaeda! This is only because they first came to my attention because they were the first to receive OBL's videos in the wake of 9/11. I feel they're pretty independent or at least US party agnostic? I dunno - looking at their headlines they seem fairly global and bad news oriented.
The jist of it is there are dozens of companies owned by the Bidens, all of which are intertwined. $Millions have gone into these companies & been dispersed to at least 9 family members including a granddaughter (not the one whose mum was a stripper). None of these companies have a product or service that would generate ANY income whatsoever.
There's still a slew of FBI employees who refused to testify before Durham.
Related to that, there are currently whistleblowers from the FBI etc who are willing to testify before Jim Jordan's committee.

According to Joe he has absolutely no knowledge of any of this at all, least of all where the money went... even though he's on tape discussing at least one of the deals with Hunter & told him not to get busted. There are also emails where Hunter is bitching about having to pay his dad half his income... none of which appeared on Joe's tax returns.


Now go back & re-read that, but change Biden to Trump & Hunter to Don Jr...

Btw, the US arm of Al Jezeera was originally owned by Al Gore & operated under a different name (I forget which)

In 3 years we've locked 5 threads. Don't be giving me this bollox. I don't know of any other bloody internet forum that allows freedom of speech as much as this.

I fought hard not to ban DEADPOOL as I felt it was the right thing to do. But to then go on about it time and time again is irritating

Go set up your own forum and run it how you like. Enjoy.
Fair play for standing your ground, upon reflection it’s clear that the people that you had to fight against are bullies, so maybe you should now be considering banning them?
Nah, we just a few daft posts from a few daft people.... people have been told off in the past and the place is playing nicely.... no need for any more than that. It just hit a nerve that someone complained about moderation which on this forum is quite frankly ridiculous to complain about.

Of course he will say that, he wants people to spend more money on travel and food. He can get stuffed.

Another couple of aspects of the Durham Report:
FBI suppressed any investigations into the Clintons.
Adam Schiff staffer threatened Durham Report investigator.

Something smells a little fishy with this 'car chase' story. Two hours? Hollywood would struggle to put a two hours car chase together, and in New York with all the traffic? Was it the police's day off? They not have mobile phones? Nowhere to pull over safely?

And coincidence that he's asking for Met Police guards when in the UK?

Meh. I ain't saying nothing happened, but in the parlance of my school: 'Chinny reckons'.

They've just been to an awards ceremony where everyone has seen them, so they've nothing to hide at all. So if the chase is so dangerous, then why not just stop and say hey, take some more photos, the ones you'll already have of us as you've just seen us at the awards?

If it's so dangerous, then why let the chase happen? It's not as if they're in danger from a vicious gang.

I suppose it's all fake-news, bants and open-season until someone is killed or commits suicide.

Folk go on about bullying an awful lot, but it's just hot air.

It's been faked, to enlarge his argument of having the Met protect him when he's outside of a London kebab shop.

Unusual place to stash a stolen car, maybe the wing made it take off.

My bullshit detector just got jammed off the high end of the scale so I can't tell you exactly how much I don't believe it. But, I don't believe it.

Speaking of bullshit, here's Piers Morgan. Now I can't believe I really need to say this but I actually don't like him for a number of historical reasons so I post this video not for his opinion but for the word of mouth from those he was able to acquire for his show. Having got that off my chest, here''s the taxi driver:



So "something" happened. Sounds like nothing unusual and the "blocked" road was a dump truck making a turn.

As for Meghan Markle, I'd put her right up there with Amber Turd for believability.

What? Put him in a big soft barge of a car with a pissed up Frenchman who thinks he's Alain Prost driving it?

Harry has been watching too many 80s TV shows.

He probably thinks Pontiacs can talk.....

Apparently the event they were at described her as "One of the most powerful and influential women in the world."

Get a grip, she's a B-lister who married a slightly naive and damaged ex soldier who just happens to be the son of a top royal. She's like a 2020's Fergie.

How many other women are being talked about on here today?

'Influence' is like 'luck', it can go two ways.

People on the radio are talking about Suella Deville and Ann Widdicome.

Being talked about isn't always a good thing.
