Was Ex police officer Derek Chauvin wrongly convicted !
candide replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
I suggested an explanation earlier..... -
You can blame Giuliani for that. Why did he refuse to give a copy of the content to MSM and/or independent auditors? He had time as he had the laptop content for one year before giving it to the NYPost. It looks like he didn't trust the content!🙂 The laptop was assessed as real only after MSM could get hold of a copy and check by themselves.

It's been already provided by Politico for one year. https://www.politico.com/blogs/politico-press/2024/01/17/politico-launches-ai-generated-bill-summaries-available-to-politico-pro-subscribers-00136126 -

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz loses confidence vote
candide replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
It seems to be a regular pattern that post-Covid government parties lose elections or see their electorate shrink, whatever their political colour (I.e. Germany, UK, France, Poland, USA, etc... ). -
GDP always grows (at least on middle and long term). 🙂 It 's also a bit strange that you chosed statistics in USD, in a thread related to British sovereignty. "In 2023, the gross domestic product of the United Kingdom amounted to around 2.54 trillion British pounds, compared just under 2.53 trillion pounds in 2022, and 2.4 trillion in 2021. https://www.statista.com/topics/3795/gdp-of-the-uk/#topicOverview

EU Sues UK Over Brexit Treaty Breach on Free Movement

EU Sues UK Over Brexit Treaty Breach on Free Movement
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I know. My point was that UK is not faring better outside the EU than when it was part of it. For most European countries, the decline probably started after the oil crisis in the 70s. What is your evidence of EU countries' economy getting worse because of the formation of the EU? -
EU Sues UK Over Brexit Treaty Breach on Free Movement
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Most countries are still affected by the post-Covid crisis, and UK has not been in a better shape than EU countries after Brexit. In the case of France, it borrowed too much money (this is also not uncommon on both sides of the Channel) https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/ -
EU Sues UK Over Brexit Treaty Breach on Free Movement

The cause of Germany's current economic difficulties is well known. It's its past policy of overly relying on Russian gas and the painful transition to other sources of energy. -
Lol! The usual MAGA false equivalence lame tactic! It's legal when asking for firing a corrupt prosecutor who covered up Burisma's boss. It's been also asked the IMF and the EU who also witheld their funding for the same reason! https://www.justsecurity.org/66271/timeline-trump-giuliani-bidens-and-ukrainegate/

With which reported fact in this timeline do you disagree? The fact that the State Department has been publicly complaining for years that the Prosecutor's office was not investigating Burisma's owner? For example: Feb. 3, 2015 — Obama administration conveys harsh criticism of Ukraine Prosecutor General’s Office for its coverup of Zlochevskiy/Burisma George Kent, who was then-senior anti-corruption coordinator in the State Department’s European Bureau and was in Ukraine temporarily as acting deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, met with a deputy of Prosecutor General Yarema, according to his closed congressional testimony. Kent, who had long pushed Ukrainian prosecutors for investigations into Zlochevskiy, “scolded” the deputy prosecutor for having “shut the criminal case” that had been the basis for a U.K. court freezing Zlochevskiy’s assets, demanding, “Who took the bribe and how much was it?,” Kent asked. Kent’s effort was coordinated with the Justice Department. https://www.justsecurity.org/66271/timeline-trump-giuliani-bidens-and-ukrainegate/
