UK to be one of worst performing economies this year, predicts IMF

Obviously, there is also a convergence of independent forecasts towards similar numbers.

I had time to check what was exactly said and when, and here is my reply. A look at the context and at what he exactly said is quite instructing, and it's not unethical as you suggest. Here's a quote of what he said, which includes what he said just before: (BIDEN) "And so, they’re very concerned that we are still the open democracy we’ve been and that we have rules and the institutions matter. And that’s the context in which I think that they’re looking at: Are we back to a place where we are going to accept decisions made by the Court, by the Congress, by the government, et cetera? Q So the entire genesis of that G7 conversation was tied to your predecessor, who is about to launch another campaign. So how do you reassure them, if that is the reason for their questioning, that the former President will not return or that his political movement, which is still very strong, will not — THE PRESIDENT: Oh, yeah? (Laughs.) Q — once again take power in the United States? THE PRESIDENT: Well, we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by — if we — if he does run. I’m making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next President again. Q Thanks." The subject discussed was: "that we have rules and the institutions matter." "Are we back to a place where we are going to accept decisions made by the Court, by the Congress, by the government, et cetera?" Is that an unethical perspective? It is also relevant to note that he did not use "we" as "me" or the government, or the Democrats, but as the USA "we are still the open democracy" "Are we back to a place" Then he talked about Trump returning to power because he was asked about it, because the G7 countries were worried (according to the journalist asking the question). "I’m making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next President again." He does not suggest he will interfere in anything. There no precision about what he meant. It could well be, for example, to beat him at the next elections. It's not unethical, and it is not in contradiction with voters voting to choose the next President, as you claim. In brief, you have nothing. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/11/09/remarks-by-president-biden-in-press-conference-8/ Other readings: https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-trump-indictment-biden-666348749991 https://www.newsweek.com/biden-trump-indictment-stop-power-1792426 https://www.factcheck.org/2023/04/bidens-2022-remarks-not-related-to-trump-indictment-contrary-to-online-posts/

So, as noticed by placeholder, he did ot say he will interfere. That's only your interpretation. However, he clearly made a reference to the Constitution. Does the Constitution allow a president to interfere? Anyway, a biased interpretation of a not very clear statement does not prove anything. How exactly did he interefere and what is the evidence? You have nothing.

A forecast is not a guess, it is the most likely scenario considering what is known at the time it is made. It doesn't mean that it is exactly what will happen, it means other scenarii are less likely to occur. -

As pointed out in this article, the OECD come up with similar forecast. https://www.oecd.org/economic-outlook/march-2023/ -
"which was loudly decried as racist by prominent Democrats like Nancy Pelosi." Come on, not this lie again! It was about the so-called Muslim ban, not China. "The Trump Administration’s expansion of its outrageous, un-American travel ban threatens our security, our values and the rule of law. The sweeping rule, barring more than 350 million individuals from predominantly African nations from traveling to the United States, is discrimination disguised as policy,” Pelosi said in a statement." https://thehill.com/homenews/house/480991-pelosi-trumps-expanded-travel-ban-is-outrageous-un-american-and-threatens-rule/ I'm too lazy to check the rest of your post....

Special counsel focuses on Trump fundraising off false election claims
candide replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Another evidence the DOJ is not politicised! Trump's fans also have the right to be protected by law, not only woke people! MAGA folks have been scammed by Trump's misleading advertising. This should be investigated and punished! -
Another quote From the OP: "But these documents could be pivotal for investigators to see whether the Trumps continue to overstate the value—and even the physical size—of the properties they own across the country." Why wouldn't I be surprised if It's the case? ????

Same social class but different network (or club). Thaksin was well tolerated as long as he wasn't challenging the yellow-green network. After all, the economy was going well and they were making good money. What lost him is that he started to create his own competing network. If I remember well, the old elite felt threatened by the possible occurrence of a "duo" (I cannot be more explicit).

More to come. "Grossberg, who is suing the conservative network for harassment and a toxic work environment, claims that the behind-the-scenes conversations with Giuliani, former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell and Trump campaign officials featured them admitting they had no evidence to support their Dominion election fraud lies. Additionally, she says an adviser of former President Donald Trump pointed out the importance of January 6 weeks before the Capitol attacks, noting that the adviser said there were “no issues” with voting machines and January 6 was now the “backstop” for determining the election." https://news.yahoo.com/ex-fox-producer-secret-rudy-231914910.html

The Biden and Pence cases (they are similar) are very different from the Trump case. Next time, get informed before posting. https://apnews.com/article/biden-politics-united-states-government-michael-pence-us-federal-bureau-of-investigation-9c2d7f472b8ff63f76f2c9fbb03dfde2 https://edition.cnn.com/2023/02/02/politics/comparing-classified-documents-biden-trump-pence-dg/index.html
