The text of a treaty doesn't come out of nowhere. The main actor is the Council of elected governments. It is elaborated by the Council based on consensus, usually during conventions, then during an intergovernmental conference. The ratification is just a formal procedure, the government's of member states have elaborated it and approved it before. https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/documents-publications/intergovernmental-conferences/

For how many months?

This is becoming ridiculous....

Right. But It's certainly not detrimental to those who do everything they can to delay it.

It has not been particularly claimed the Twitter pool was fraudulent. It has been claimed that there have been no standards and procedures in place to guarantee the validity of the Twitter poll. In election polls, there are standards and procedures to guarantee the validity of the vote. So unless a proof of fraud is found, or an evidence that the procedure has not been properly folloed, the results can be trusted. In a survey, there is a procedure (methodology) to guarantee the validity (with a calculated margin of error). In a Twitter poll, there is none of these. There is no procedure to control "votes" (even Musk stated bots may have voted, multiple accounts are possible, etc...), so it's impossible to guarantee there was no fraud. It's not about suspecting fraud, It's about a system which cannot be trusted. There is also no methodology implemented to guarantee the de facto "sample" of respondents is representative of Twitter users. So, in brief, because of the absence of standards and procedures, it cannot be trusted for not being fraudulent, and it cannot be trusted for representing the user base of Twitter. Trump may or may not have "won", there is no way to know.

Now you consider Twitter polls as equivalent to election polls! What about this one? ???? https://www.surveyeah.com/en/poll/mickey-mouse-or-donald-duck/

It's interesting how some posters feel the need to derail this thread into a "lazy woke people" thread. ???? I understand, It's not like these "woke" people would have been at the origin of, and responsible for the success of Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Airbnb, Oracle, Sun, the numerous Silicon Valley companies, etc..????

Sorry, I may have misunderstood your post. I understood that, as there was only a remote possibility that it may occur, this scenario was not really worth a discussion.

It's not me who evoked this scenario, It's your mate riclag. You know, the post you marked with a "thanks" emoticon.

I doubt the pro-Desantis, the Heritage Foundation network, the friends of Murdoch, and the few ones who have been against Trump from Jan. 6 will hurry to hinder the investigation. On top of it, due to the short GOP majority, only 5 or 6 defections will be enough to fail any GOP initiative.

Most reasonable people don't buy the right wing propaganda claiming that Trump has been unfairly investigated.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, please! ????

Without even considering the lack of justification for cutting funding off, do you really think all Republicans reps would vote for it?

Excuse me, but there may have been good reasons for this decision. In particular, the fact that epidemics diffuse according to a wave pattern. Actually the problem has been that UK did not apply lockdowns fast and hard enough. https://theconversation.com/did-the-covid-lockdowns-work-heres-what-we-know-two-years-on-176623

Right! Everybody knows the previous owners and managers were happy to pay thousands of people for doing nothing, instead of pocketing more of those juicy stock options and dividends! ????

Not destroy! Extend halting deliveries throught NS1, in order to put pressure on European countries. And this without the need for Gazprom to pay fines according to international law, as it is a case of "force majeure". An additional benefit is that the pipelines crossing Ukraine now play a more crucial role. They may be bombed because of bad luck, sabotaged by Nazi terrorists, etc....

I wouldn't bet all of it has been spend wisely (the government was not particularly competent), but it has likely allowed the survival of the UK economy, you know like preventing the health system to collapse, preventing businesses from going bankrupt, preventing people from having to sell their house at any price by necessity, etc....

Come on! The EU is applying the agreement negotiated by BoJo. There is nothing exceptional about it. It's the same rules the UK was actually applying to third countries while it was in the EU. It's also the same rules the UK is currently applying to third countries, as most EU laws have been retained. Of course, for Brexiteers, It's always someone else's fault (usually the EU),

And also claimed they had been planted by the FBI! ????

Have you read the article? It doesn't show the FBI is a corrupt establishment.

It seems you have some reading and/or understanding problems. The emails were about the creation of a joint-venture, and it was asked whether the Big Guy may take 10% of it. When you become a shareholder of a JV, you don't receive money, you invest in his capital. Furthermore, the JV has effectively been created. It is not a secret operation, the JV must be registered, and Joe has not been a shareholder of the JV. Finally, there is no evidence this JV has been involved in anything illegal. It is also not evil per se to partner with Chinese companies. Thousands of JVs with Chinese companies have been created, included by Trump.

More lies, more B.S., more checks! It's simple!

You are completely incoherent again. Biden could not have ordered the FBI to do it. The President was Trump and the DOJ was headed by Barr.

And Jim Jordan may have secret whistleblowers who could confirm it! ????

Exactly, not much to do. Unlike Hunter, Kushner was a WH official involved in ME policy, so there is a clear conflict of interest in this case.
