Odd that the most vocal MAGA members are still trying to claim Joe Biden was corrupt after every GOP committee's attempt at smearing him failed miserably! FD-1023 anyone? 😆

There are lots of questions to be asked, among others to the guy who said “Anyone who wants to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state needs to support strengthening Hamas.” and allowed Qatar to finance Hamas. https://www.politico.eu/article/israel-funded-hamas-claims-eu-top-diplomat-josep-borrell/#:~:text=“Hamas was financed by the,by Spanish newspaper El País.

Right. As they have no arguments to defend Trump and his aides, they can only resort to lame conspiracy theories, witch hunt B.S., etc.. 😀

Kennedy is likely to take votes from both Trump and Biden.

Napoléon le Petit! 😁 (Joke probably not understood by people who don't know French literature)

Brexit is Brexit!

So Eastman did not try to overturn the result of a free and fair election?

Same question which will never be answered: In your country, which is often cited as a model of democracy, what would have happened to a PM who would have made fake accusations of rigged elections, ask officials to find him 11,800 votes, plot fake elector lists (well, something equivalent), send a mob to storm the British parliament and watch it during 3 hours on TV without doing anything? And to lawyers who had been instrumental about it?

I was talking about the fine, not the bond.

Such as Trump did not win the 2020 elections?

Right! So far only 91 bombshells..... Coming back to topic, it's quite possible that the fine will ultimately be reduced. for ex. to the current bond amount. Nice to know that Trumpers will be hilarious if he has to pay "only" $175m! 😀

Is Macron's position on Ukraine significantly different from UK's position? As to the European army as a favorite Brexiteers' fantasy.... Having said that, more coordination and industrial policy is certainly necessary, and it should be done in collaboration with UK.

Unlike MAGA fans, they don't believe everything and anything Trump says. 😀

Thanks for the information. It's more clear for me now.

For the time being, It's not clear who will be the most affected. https://www.racetothewh.com/president/polls

You should buy some of his stock! 😃

How can the fact that Cohen was jailed for participating in it be considered?

Crickets.... It seems UK is also a banana Republic (Kingdom) according to JonnyF criteria! 😀

What is also particular to Thailand is that It's a coronaviruses' nest! https://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12985-015-0289-1

In your country, is it allowed to threaten jury members, witnesses and court staff?

I honestly advise you to buy some shares! 😃

You should buy some shares! 😆

Sure! It makes sense to head towards a closed border which is intensively scrutinized by both the Russian army and the Ukrainian army! 😀

B.S. as usual! 😀

All deaths are counted, right. However, the way to calculate the "excess" may differ. From your link: The numbers can be adjusted for what was to be expected from population predictions, even though such data does not exist for all countries, and the choice of method leads to varying results. When Statistics Sweden compares excess deaths with projected deaths based on population trends and age, at 4.2 percent Sweden still has fewer excess deaths than its neighbors, but the difference with Denmark (4.3) and Norway (4.5) becomes insignificant. Finland’s rate is almost twice as high, at 8.2 percent.31 The result is slightly different when the website Our World in Data uses the Human Mortality Dataset and compares excess deaths with the previous five years rather than the previous three years. Then Denmark has a lower rate than Sweden, with Norway close to Sweden and Finland higher than Sweden.32The Economist has its own method for measuring excess death and comes to a similar conclusion.33 And, as a reminder, Sweden had a much higher death rate in 2020, when it implemented only very few restrictions. The death rate started to decrease only after it started to implement extensive restrictions (and extensive vaccination, too). So it's not true that Sweden had no restrictions during the whole time.
