@mtbe

An insightful intellegent answer, I get atacked by liberal socialists on expat pages, for pointing out the same exact issues, even thrown out, their answer to everything is: democracy won and it was the people's choice.

I just sit back and watch.

"Everyone was very concerned about [Petro] getting into power.

"Please only answer this question if you have deep knowledge

about the situation in Colombia.

"I don't care about your opinions left or right..."

cbogle54,

I see this is your first post on our forum, so perhaps

you don't understand how it works here.

1. Opinions are allowed, within the terms and

conditions of the forum. No personal attacks.

2. Other members are free to post without

meeting someone's concept of having

"deep knowledge" of the relevant topic.

A statement that someone doesn't care

about other members' opinions tends to

chill free speech, which is not what

this forum is about.

Let freedom ring.

@mtbe The same could be said of the current US president.

@cccmedia I am an American citizen, the first problem with the New York Times article is that the NYT is a joke. NYT is considered Fake News by the majority of Americans. NYT is the propaganda machine of Marxism in the USA.

@lauramulholland If you mean the majority of Trump supporters, then yes. Given your use of the term "fake news" I'm guessing you fit into that category, so your answer makes sense. However, I'm pretty sure that the majority of Americans view the NYT as an old, respectable journalistic institution.

Referenced without comment. How the New York Times has published lies to serve a biased narrative

@MotitaSr The New York Times used to be "an old, respectable journalistic institution" but they are not anymore. They like most of the rest of the mainstream press have become propaganda arms of the democrat party with zero credibility for many of us.

The Times is the newspaper of record.

Their editorial page is obviously

anti-you-know-who .. and for

good reason.

Citing the New York Post (see above)

to determine whether the Times

has a questionable narrative ..

is like citing Mitch McDonnell on

whether AOC has the right narrative.

The Murdochs own right-wing

"news" network Fox .. and the

tabloid Post.

Errata.

As may be obvious, I meant to

reference Senate Minority leader

Mitch McConnell above.

If you believe The NY Times is the paper of record then you should also believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny as they have entirely missed covering major stories like Hunter Biden's laptop, Joe Biden's dementia, Hillary's Russiagate dossier, what Cuomo did with nursing home patients in New York etc. etc.. Just ask yourself is there a single conservative voice in any of the mainstream media, other than Fox I do not think you will find one.

Thank you for summarizing the GQP talking points.

How would you explain in one sentence the

earthshaking importance of Hunter Biden's laptop

and its contents?

Dear Ford Truck,

Due to the Expat.com page break, you

evidently missed an election-night

report (post 27 on this thread).

It was the Times' first report on

the results on the Colombia

presidential race.

As is common on our site,

there is a page break between

posts 40 and 41 on the

longer threads.

Relevance.

Two individual posters have taken the

issue of Hunter Biden's laptop so far

from this thread's topic (Colombia's

presidential election results) that

the moderators at the Home Office

have had to delete their responses

for two consecutive nights.

So I am re-directing the thread

back to the original topic. Any

further comments on this thread

about Hunter Biden or accusations

against President Joe Biden

are not relevant .. and will be

considered off-topic flaming.
