When I read your first sentence I thought of a "person" with the longest Pinocchio-nose, a POTUS ever has had. Rich only because of his fathers gifts.

You recognize that happens not only in royal families. Just one example.

I`m waiting for the day when the swamp draining will be done concerning the man/child with the absolutely longest Pinocchhio-nose, a US president ever has had. 10,000 lies within 800 days, a new record, the egomaniac can brag about (as usual) who needs followers like you. The REPs nearly died of suffocation when the former POTUS seemed to lie only one time.

Fortunately there are (a few) officials like R. who cannot stand the arxlicking any more.

 My advise to Trump is wait a few days until some other crisis engulfs the dems - maybe Ms Omar in another antisemitic row? - and get him pardoned and released. 

You are right:

a criminal LOTUS (liar Of The....) should reward a criminal for his criminal actions  !

Did you read this in your Trump-bible or in his book how to make a deal?

In a nutshell:   

Brexit, a chaos of fraudulent and empty promises and clueless politicians.

What do they, the politicians, expect now?  Postpone, postpone .... and postpone, but no real idea to find a solution to which the majority is able to agree? Idiotic. An unworthy spectacle of democracy(z)y. Democracy means to do and represent what the people want - now, after having been enlightened about the EU.

Sooooo, how else would Trump stay in power- just stay in his chair and refuse to leave?

Where in the world has any president/ PM stayed in power without the backing of the military? The Guardian is just doing what the Guardian does and stirring, IMO.

What a "highly intelligent" awareness/knowledge !!!

To name only a few countries in "the world" - not in your vivid imagination  - :

GB, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Australia .... and don't forget your own world, the USA, where the president/PM stay(s) in power "without the backing of the military".  The list goes on.

May is really, really great ..... in delaying and NOT solving problems, and a die-hard.

You are right. Compared to Trump she isn't „trustworthy?

Nowadays you have the biggest chance to win race for the GOP (better SOP = Sordid Old Party) if you are so „trustworthy“. That means the SOP-people „trust(ed)“ Trump

• when he grabbed ladies“ pussies.

• when he <deleted> around at the time his wife gave or has given birth to a baby

• when he said: We've gotten more done than any other administration

• when he said: Steel and automaker investments are skyrocketing

• when he said: Tariffs are making America rich

• when he said: Democrats are "radical socialists” who want to turn America into Venezuela

• when he said: We pulled off an economic turnaround of historic proportions

• when he said: Obama separated children from their families at the border.

• When he said: The Russia probe is witch hunt

• when he said: Republicans support protections for people with pre-existing conditions (in connection with Obama care).

• when he said: We're building the (cement) wall

• when he said: making America great again.

• The list of lies goes on … nearly endlessly.

Go on ….. and trust him and his limited brain. Let's not talk about his "trustworthy moral" against (former) US friends.

The sole "medicine" I know:  leave Bangkok - for ever.

Since Trump and Brexit it's modern style to work with alternative facts. Alternative facts means: subjects you believe in, but cannot be approved. Believe means: not knowing the facts.

So let me improve this:

Fact is, that the electricity now is drawn from sockets fed by the French Electricity Authorities ....... which produce nuclear power. So much to transparency, EU politics and the bunch of liars and crooks.

Hanaguma said - #10

It's lovely to think of, but electricity is only a small part of Germany's overall energy use.  Less than 20% I believe. The majority is still fossil fuels, and the majority of that is still imported.  Germany is still the largest importer of natural gas n the world.

A trustful resource - Deutsches Umweltamt, a public agency - gives the facts (I try to translate it in English):

In general (inserting a copy of a screenshot doesn't work):
 

It shows the part of renewable energy in the year 2017

first row: electricity  -           36,0 %

second row: heat energy -     13,9 %

third row: traffic -                   5,2 %         

All together: 417 TWh have been produced ( 1 TWh = 1 billion kw) by renewable energy. Thereof

• 52% (216 TWh) for electricity

• 41% (171 TWh) for caloric energy

• 7% (30 TWh) for biogenic fuels in traffic

Russian gas will/can deliver the missing energy parts in the future. For extreme situation coal will work again for winning energy. I.e. if there would be an extreme drought as in 2018.

They worry only about the lost jobs in coal industry but not how to substitute the power plants. As there is very limited sourse of water power and bio-gas the only option is to build gas power plants for periods without wind and sun. This will cost a lot more than € 40 billion mentioned and additionaly make Germany depending on gas supply by Russia. I think this agreement is the best news for Mr. Putin in 2019! New business and a big foot in EU econonmy.

And by the way what does it help if Germany shuts off some 30 coal power plants if actually more than 1000 are under construction or in planning stage worldwide? Another example of Merkel desaster politics.

Should Germany instead depend on Trump's more expensive and dirty, low quality  "fracking-oil"?

You quote a Murdock Newspaper; that explains all your negative anti-EU propaganda as "corrupt" etc. - without any concrete facts.

I would start with your own government:

• May, a stubborn lady, completely unable to say and act how a Brexit should be administered. A complete incompetent MP. She didn't think one minute about finding a bipartisan agreement within GB, so that the parliament could vote for it. She didn't think of the GB people.
• Corbyn, as opposition leader, an absolute failure. Without a clear program, without ideas how to go on, only blabla concerning the process, but no idea for a bipartisan (GB) agreement.
• Only now, after two and a half years - 5 Minutes before the door is closed -  members of the legislature, and of different parties, and not of the government, try to find a solution for solving the Brexit problem.  That was missed by May and Corbyn.

It seems the Kasikorn people don't know this (....advice; maybe they are not able to open your online account?).

Moron Trump, if you would like to build a wall in order to reduce "terrorism" .... than ask for a budget money to build a wall against the NRA (National Rifle Association).

That would save lives, xxxx-times more than your pretended "terrorism victims".

Given there is little to no indication of inflation he goofed raising the rates. If that wasn't bad enough they said they would raise the rates two more times in the net year or so. If that wasn't bad enough he came out to make a completely unnecessary press conference on the reasons of why he went this way.

 

it was simply series of bizarre and unusual circumstances and all completely avoidable. The market dipped and recovered after the rate announcement. Then for whatever reason he came back to pick the scab until it gushed blood. 

 

As a trader i loved it but for the long term investor it was inexcusable.Not saying he should be fired but it's a bit like Elon Musk he should simply keep his mouth shut and not speak when it isn't required.

A typical comment of a money maker. If the decision of the FED-boss seems to be good for him, than this man has a quality. If the FED-boss explains the decision of rate a hike, he finds his explanations „inexcusable“ and should „simply keep his mouth shut“, because it could be against his interests.

Openness – the enemy of the „traders“ ????? A trader who only looks for the up-going rates. Understandable, but being blind to recognize the real reasons for loosing value don't come to his mind, as already mentioned in Trump- threads. To describe the reasons you need a long, long list – nearly all related to Trump and his @rsh... lickers.

BTW, a (money) rate hike in general has two consequences (for the $) - among others

• interest rates go upwards on both sides, loans and interests

• stock rates are losing value.

I wonder why you didn't complain about the tax-reduction law, mainly fabricated for the riches, the stock market and Trump himself, including his family and friends. This was a promise for the future (of course not from Powell) – and I'm sure you liked it „not simply keeping his mouth“. The rates went up. Traders, like you, reacted to this „good news“, not thinking about the bad part of this announcement. Therefore you are complaining about Powell, instead of your new „darling“.

In the time before Trump a POTUS had to be reliable and honest, at least.

Since 2016 The USA has changed fundamentally. Someone with the „quality" of a liar, extremist, moron, an endless insulter, inhumane charcter (the list goes on) has had a chance to sit in the White House..

The subject of this thread is only one example of of Trump's criminal behavior. In many, many other countries he would have spent a lot of his time behind bars. Nowadays it seems to be a qualification for the election of a Potus.

That the REP's supported him, not very surprising. But that the third power in every (real) democracy does not have the laws or the force/power to put him where he belongs to, that's annoying and a shame for the US political system.

People with only a few grams of brain don't need Cohen to recognize Trump is the LOTUS - the Liar Of The United States.

But nice to read that Cohen contemplated his own ego.

It's aching what happens in the USA, once a dignified idol and symbol of a democratic state. Now a state with a lot of criminals on the top.

BTW, since Trump you are able to recognize so many failures and loopholes in the political system of the USA.
