The rate of employment is higher for foreign born than for UK born. It means they proportionally contribute more often than UK born.

The jealous loser has a new theory...😆 “THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET BECAUSE MY POLLS AGAINST BIDEN ARE SO GOOD THAT INVESTORS ARE PROJECTING THAT I WILL WIN, AND THAT WILL DRIVE THE MARKET UP,” Trump wrote in an all-caps missive on Truth Social. https://thehill.com/homenews/4435862-trump-claims-credit-record-stock-market-biden/

You may be right, however superpowers, as well as not so super, always exert power. If the U.S. would stop exerting power, it would soon be replaced by others. Choose your pick: China, Russia, India, Turkey.....

How did the "hard line" work? Did it prevent or trigger uranium production by Iran? Who killed the 2015 nuclear deal? As a direct consequence, Iran increased uranium enrichment by 10-fold in 2019

Interesting.... "A Morning Consult survey from March 2023 estimated that 53% of US adults consider themselves Swift fans, an astoundingly large support base. To put that into perspective, the 2020 US Census found there are around 258.3 million adults in the country. If that and the aforementioned survey are correct, that means there are nearly 137 million voting-age Swift supporters situated across the US, or approximately 60% of the total number of votes cast in the 2020 presidential election for either Biden or Trump." https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-will-not-win-a-war-against-the-swifties-2024-1?r=US&IR=T

The article blames the reduction of U.S. military presence over the years. Who bragged about having withdrawn troops from Iraq? Who sacrificed the presence of Kurds in Syria to his friendship with Erdogan? Who stopped support to the Free Syrian army?

I made the same observation.

If I remember well, she blamed it on Russian interference, among other reasons. It's not possible to quantify its effect, but there was a Russian interference (see Mueller report and the GOP led Senate investigation). led Senate. Not like Trumps ridiculous conspiracy theory of dead people voting, which never happened. What did cost Trump the 2020 election......is Trump himself.

Bad memory, obviously. 😊 What about GDP, employment, energy production, inflation reduction, infrastructure, industrial sovereignty....

Ask Trump! He was so upset he lost the popular vote in 2016, that he evoked a ridiculous conspiracy theory about elections having been rigged. Already! 🤣

That's rich, coming from you! 😄

I am not particularly criticizing India. I am criticizing its government.

So you have nothing, as expected.

Biden's juries too?

And that's exactly the reason why the current government is diverting attention from it by changing name and other nationalism-related issues.

Ooops! OK, not indicted, Fox News agreed to pay Dominion $787.5 million and acknowledged the court's earlier ruling that Fox had broadcast false statements about Dominion.

According to the article, they worked in the same firm during 2 years in the early 90's, so around 30 years ago.

No, he hasn't. You can post it over and over, it will not make it true!

He already started changing his tune... So predictable! 🤣 Trump bemoans record stock market as just making 'rich people richer' https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-bemoans-record-stock-market-just-making-rich-people-richer-2023-12-18/

The same ridiculous false equivalence again....

The same lame claim you already posted in another thread will get the same reply: - you are knowingly distorting the reason why Fox News was indicted: it was indicted for claiming the 2020 elections have been rigged, while knowing they were lying about it. Not for discussing if maybe it could be possible to hàck a system - the expert has been able to do that because he used a malicious code (not just a pen and a card, they are useless without the code). And he was able to write a malicious code because he was given access to the system for months. - the lawsuit is motivated by the breach by Kraken Powell and her team, who stole the software and put it on a server. They got caught, but many people could have had access to it. This is quite different from November 2020, before the breach. Without this breach, there would be no lawsuit.

Still in the MAGA alternate universe?

It's been even worse than that. Irak was actually one of the few secular regime in the Arab world. It was de facto governed by Suni, but Christians were rather well considered. The great Republican idea was to replace a secular regime by a regime based on religion. The President must be Kurdish (Suni), the PM and the House speaker Shia. Of course, Christians have been leaving the country since then....
