  1. "A name that used to be instant account banning for mentioning." Making up stuff again, as usual....
  2. It's been an endless MAGA anti-EV rant for years on this forum...but as Musk joined Trump they are now EV friendly! 🤣
  3. Comer says....🤣
  4. Why vs.? It should be "w/" 🙂
  5. And it seems it's in your nature to make up stuff! 😆
  6. What are the reasons for Germany's specific economic problems?
  7. 2022 is not representative. It was, as I already said a correction year after a huge increase.
  8. 2022 was a correction year following the 2021 rise. After the 2008-2012 crisis, employment had been declining to comparable levels as now. https://www.statista.com/statistics/279898/unemployment-rate-in-the-united-kingdom-uk/
  9. I don't disagree with you about the fact that unemployment is also lower in the U.S. than in the EU. The U.S. economic performance has been remarkable post-Covid, compared to the EU and to G7 countries. My point is that they would be worse-off without the EU. That's why Trump hates the EU.
  10. Well, there's no doubt that the U.S. fared much better post-Covid. However, leaving the EU doesn't seem to work better, from the only example we know... https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/
  11. Who's rattled? I am certainly not rattled by the publication of this list (well, too bad that it has been edited out by the current administration)? Not more rattled than when Epstein got a sweetheart deal from a GOP attorney, in a GOP State and under a GOP administration (and Epstein's lawyer was the same who worked for Trump later). You know, the attorney Trump 1.0 appointed later as labor secretary. Also not more rattled than when Trump was Epstein's codefendant in a lawsuit retrieved under threat!
  12. Is that supposed to be humor?
  13. Come on, not that old B.S. again......
  14. And on this respect, UK jumped out of the frying pan into the fire! 😆
  15. Trump doesn't like competition on any issue! 🤣
  16. Suuure! And that's why Trump doesn't like it...🤣.
  17. And by weakening Russia, it also weakened its allies, leading to a regime change in Syria and a weakened position of Iran. Oh and no WW3, contrary to usual posters' predictions! 😆
  18. Trump did what he did. It's not made up! Outside the MAGA alternate universe, of course.... 😆
  19. "Frivolous" court case decided by a Grand Jury. Should they also be punished for that?
  20. At the Wales Summit in 2014, in response to Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea, and amid broader instability in the Middle East, NATO Leaders agreed a Defence Investment Pledge to reverse the trend of declining defence budgets and decided: Allies currently meeting the 2% guideline on defence spending will aim to continue to do so; Allies whose current proportion of GDP spent on defence is below this level will: halt any decline; aim to increase defence expenditure in real terms as GDP grows; and aim to move towards the 2% guideline within a decade with a view to meeting their NATO Capability Targets and filling NATO's capability shortfalls. https://www.nato.int/cps/uk/natohq/topics_67655.htm?selectedLocale=en
  21. A Wiki article is no better nor worse than the sources it uses. That's what should be checked before trusting it. It's the same for ChatGPT. Actually it's worse with ChatGPT. I experienced several events during which the information given was not in the sources quoted. The question must also be very precise and deliminated. It's very powerful but can be tricky.
  22. Quite the opposite. Finding an accurate statement of Trump among all his lies, is like finding a needle in a haystack.
