    Trump Fact Checking Thread

    https://x.com/ddale8/status/1942723584515821676 Daniel Dale @ddale8 President Trump said today that “smart countries” don’t use wind power and that China makes turbines for other countries but has “very, very few” wind farms itself. In reality, China is by far the world’s leading generator of wind energy, with many massive wind farms both on land and offshore. President Trump said today that South Korea got Joe Biden to reduce its military cost-sharing payments to “nothing.” In reality, South Korea agreed to two spending increases under Biden. President Trump said today that the US has provided three times more aid to Ukraine than Europe has. In reality, Europe has provided more aid than the US has. A fact check of this and assorted other nonsense from Trump’s Cabinet meeting today: https://cnn.com/2025/07/08/politics/fact-check-trump-cabinet-meeting
  3. Interesting that you can be prosecuted in the UK for making a public statement supporting an organization the government there has labelled as "terrorist" although Waters say that they are "a nonviolent protest organization protesting the presence in the U.K. of Elbit Systems, who are an Israeli arms manufacturing organization" Under the First Amendment that couldn't happen here. But the way things are going who knows about the future. The below apparently is not illegal in the UK, yet.

    I am not sure that is an entirely accurate statement or at least I don't recall hearing that claim before.

    Is criticizing the Israeli government antisemitic?

    His link would probably be that at some point you criticized the policies of the Israeli Government probably about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The same poster has labeled me a "Jew hating anti-semite" and a "Hamas supporter" based only upon my oppostion to Mahmoud Khalil being deported without due process.

    Just as brilliant as your observation. ICE and the Trump Admnistration could shut everybody up about non-criminals being held there by releasing the names of all detainees and the reason they are being held in this facility.

    And it doesn't mean that they have either.

    L.A. ICE raids/protests thread

    Jimmy Webb has written some great songs (By The Time I Get To Phoenix, Whichita Lineman, Up And Away) but this was not one of them. That said, it is, arguably, his most successful and best remembered song. Actor Richard Harris first recorded it in 1968 and had #2 US Billboard Hot 100 hit. Fun Fact: Webb wrote the tune fot The Association after being asked by the group's producer, Bones Howe, to create a pop song with different movements and changing time signatures. Webb delivered "MacArthur Park" to Howe with "everything he wanted", but Howe did not care for the ambitious arrangement and unorthodox lyrics. Ultimately, the song was rejected by the group. Here is Richard Harris' original recording.

    Trump: I hate Democrats because Democrats hate the United States

    Nothing new. They defended the "Grab em by the " remarks along with the video of him mocking the disabled reporter.

    Trump: I hate Democrats because Democrats hate the United States

    So he only hates the Democrats who voted against the bill and not all Democrats? That seems unlikely as he seems to view anyone who opposes his policies as "un-American" - but carry on.

    Trump: I hate Democrats because Democrats hate the United States

    He is sure and he says those that hate him are Democrats. Indeed, it's not that complicated
  16. Maddow was talking about her personal concerns and expressed worry "about "all of us - that can hardly be considered "inciting the mob"
  17. Perhaps? It is a majority in this forum if thread comments are any indication.

    Trump: I hate Democrats because Democrats hate the United States

    Who is the "they" you are referring to here? Trump was talking about Democrats and I am a member of that group, so it appeared you talking about me (not individually but as a Democrat)
  19. There will be with Latinos in many major cities if they keep seeing friends, neighbors, relatives and co-workers who have no criminal record, being snatched off the streets by ICE - they were told by Trump ICE would go after the violent criminals first but that is not what has happened (because they can't find enough murderers and rapists to meet their quota).

    Trump: I hate Democrats because Democrats hate the United States

    No, we (Democrats) do not hate our country. What we do hate is what Trump is doing to it.
