Links or not (which themselves are biased (all sources are)) doesn‘t change the fact that the adjectives you threw out are your opinion.
I'm not alone in that opinion.

Not liking trump does not make me a lib, socialist, communist, radical left lunatic, or whatever name calling trump and MAQA yahoos want to engage in. I'm a small L libertarian and I love this country and want what's best for it just as much as they claim to.
:nod:

Also…the economist is quite politically neutral…even by European standards.

Lol wrong. Even the bias checkers that 88 listed (which probably lean left) stated that the Economist leaned left.

Early signs are emerging that China is now "caving" to the U.S. and President Donald Trump on tariffs, according to one foreign policy expert.

Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon Chang agreed there’s "a win for Trump" after the president revealed he’s spoken to China about trade tensions and the recent exemption of some U.S. goods from its 125% tariff.

"China is doing this, but it's not announcing it. It's just not imposing the tariffs on aviation products, industrial chemicals, and semiconductors. It's sort of like the Chinese way of doing it," Chang said on "Varney & Co." Friday.

lol dumb. :lol: Somebody didn’t read the links far enough or comprehend. They barely lean left. At least one org admittedly uses analysts only from center left, center right, and center. Not to mention the center is a moving target. Is it compared to other outlets, or public polling on issues, or?

Finally they are also considered highly reliable regardless of leaning.

The facts have a liberal bias.

As BDK says - that's "you’re opinion."

Now back to trump's abysmal approval ratings ...

I’m sure they’re overloading the server with requests to be deported right now. :lol:

And to use one of the all time great classics from a liberal artist who was an active environmentalist, world peace activist, and humanitarian. MAGA turns everything beautiful and full of humanity to shit. :ohno:

And much of the time they do it unwittingly. :ohno: :ohno:

Raskin's a constitutional/legal scholar appeal to authority.

Now back that stance up and tell us what will the Trump administration be charged with?

I know the judge will be charged with
Obstructing or Impeding a Proceeding (18 U.S.C. § 1505): This charge relates to her alleged actions in misdirecting federal agents to prevent the arrest of an undocumented immigrant, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, in her courtroom on April 18, 2025.

Concealing an Individual to Prevent Discovery and Arrest (18 U.S.C. § 1071): This charge stems from her allegedly escorting Flores-Ruiz and his attorney through a nonpublic jury door to help him evade immigration authorities.

In this case, contempt, obstruction? They’ve admitted to both.

What’s the difference between following the law and appealing to authority? What authority is Raskin appealing to?

What authority do you appeal to? Do you ignore the law?

What authority do you appeal to? Do you ignore the law?
I appeal to the fact the judge allegedly committed two felonies and thus was rightly arrested. Raskin appeals to generics and bullshit claims to foment anger and you fuel it.

We all told you that you support the stupid inflammatory rhetoric that caused the unhinged to go after Trump. This is another example. Ain't no way in hell kidnapping is a legitimate issue, but he'll throw it out there.

Be better.

Your loose facts with the case and blind faith in people like Patel and Bondi is breathtaking. :lol:

Odd for someone who uses the appeal to authority criticism. :lol:

so why don't you support Elon Musk who has exposed these crooks and how they use NGO's to pay themselves, and so much more. Now Musk will head back to Tesla and it will be up to the Congress, who are the crooks, to police themselves..... we just get more of the same

Elon Musk? I don’t support neo-fascistic, unelected or appointed wannabe bond villains who don’t understand (at all) how government works other than to grift off of it for personal gain.

Go read one of the 100’s of exposes on him or…just follow his tweets.

If you’re like me, concerned with government corruption, the first thing you should support is getting money out of politics.

I can point you in the right direction with this as well. Just let me know.
