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.

So the Donald only has to put up $174m! 😀

The data confirms that restrictions (incl. lockdowns) saved lives. As I mentioned, the death rate decreased in Sweden after it started to implement stricter restrictions from 2021. It only applied lax restrictions in 2020. Sweden has also one of the highest vaccination rate in Europe. It us also geography bound and culture bound, as low death rates for Sweden neighbours are showing. For example, I doubt that voluntary restrictions would work in Latin European countries in the same way as in a Protestant Nordic country such as Sweden. As to excess deaths measures, the article you cited notes that there are different ways to calculate them, and it affects the results. Ex. Here, Sweden has a higher death rates than Norway or Denmark https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer?time=2023-01-01&facet=none&country=DNK~SWE~NOR~DEU~FRA~ITA~ESP~NLD~BEL~CHE~AUT~LUX~GBR~PRT~FIN~IRL~USA~AUS~NZL&hideControls=true&Interval=Cumulative&Relative+to+Population=true&Color+by+test+positivity=false&Metric=Excess+mortality+(%)

It seems you are quite selective about which statistics you share! 😀 Taking Covid death rates as measure doesn't show the same outcome. If you look at historical data Sweden had a much higher Covid death rate than its neighbours in 2020, so lockdowns implemented by its neughbours have been efficient). From 2021 they introduced much more restrictions, and the death rate fell. (even if not a full-lockdown). Another aspect is that Sweden has one of the highest Covid vaccination rate (too bad for the antivax nutters 😀) Another more general comment us that Nordic countries have lower death rateS, bothered us also a geographical/cultural factor.

Lots of anti-science social media sheeple, it seems.... 😀

B.S. There were differences in outcomes!

The usual nonsense... The effect of lockdowns and vaccine have been extensively analysed... Talking about idiots... 😀

Not surprising! He already claimed that the 2012 election was rigged, that the 2016 election was rigged, and ultimately the 2020 election was rigged! 😆

Lol! Only one orange guy has "anxiety issues"!

The hearings are about making a false equivalence between Trump and Biden.
