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
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
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 โ Obama administration conveys harsh criticism of Ukraine Prosecutor Generalโs Office for its coverup of Zlochevskiy/Burisma George Kent, who was then-senior anti-corruption coordinator in the State Departmentโs 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, โscoldedโ the deputy prosecutor for having โshut the criminal caseโ that had been the basis for a U.K. court freezing Zlochevskiyโs assets, demanding, โWho took the bribe and how much was it?,โ Kent asked. Kentโs effort was coordinated with the Justice Department. https://www.justsecurity.org/66271/timeline-trump-giuliani-bidens-and-ukrainegate/

It's funny how diverse his supporters were. In France it was Le Pen (FRW). -

So she lost 6m votes. Trump got 3m more votes than in 2020 and 3m did not vote this time. -
Meta Donates $1M to Trump Inaugural Fund Amid Complicated Relationship

No, look toward the end of the article. The total number of votes includes votes for all candidates (incl. Stein, etc...) and it's 155,419,638, as of 10 December. It was 158,429,631 in 2020. A variation of +/- 3 million votes (+/-2%) between elections is not particularly exceptional. -
We can certainly expect Trump and MAGA whining and blaming others from the end of next year. - Either Trump will fully apply his policies and he will blame others for the high inflation and increased debt (among others), - or he will not fully apply them because they are irealistic, and he will blame the deep state or whoever for it. Then MAGA fans will whine again that "they" did not let him implement his policies.

You are obviously not up to date, the latest count is 155,419,638, not 143 million. ๐ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election Of course, the MAGA outlets which feed you with news won't publicise it!...
