  1. 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/
  2. 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.
  3. Read my post with attention Not but but...
  4. 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/
  5. 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 Generalโ€™s Office for its coverup of Zlochevskiy/Burisma George Kent, who was then-senior anti-corruption coordinator in the State Departmentโ€™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, โ€œscoldedโ€ the deputy prosecutor for having โ€œshut the criminal caseโ€ that had been the basis for a U.K. court freezing Zlochevskiyโ€™s assets, demanding, โ€œWho took the bribe and how much was it?,โ€ Kent asked. Kentโ€™s effort was coordinated with the Justice Department. https://www.justsecurity.org/66271/timeline-trump-giuliani-bidens-and-ukrainegate/
  6. What a lame false equivalence and lie. There's just a small detail you forgot to mention. The prosecutor was fired because he didn't investigate corruption, in particular from Burisma's owner! https://www.justsecurity.org/66271/timeline-trump-giuliani-bidens-and-ukrainegate/
  7. You mean the payments alleged by the fake GOP committee key witness who just pleaded guilty for lying about it (see OP)! ๐Ÿคฃ
  8. It's funny how diverse his supporters were. In France it was Le Pen (FRW).
  9. Even Trump may learn from him! ๐Ÿ˜€
  10. Actually in most Muslim countries it's tolerated, as long as (for non-Muslims) she's not Muslim.
  11. What a stupid argument. It's not the exporter country which pays tariffs, it's the American consumers and businesses!
  12. It will be hard work but he's going to do it "immediately" as promised. I get it!
  13. My point is Trump is already packpedaling on one if his main campaign promises! ๐Ÿ˜€
  14. Trumpers will swallow it, as usual. Let's see what swing voters think about it for the midterms! ๐Ÿ™‚
  15. Before the election, he did not say it will be very hard, he said he will bring them down immediately! That doesn't sound at all like "very hard"ยก ๐Ÿ˜†
  16. What liars do best.... ๐Ÿคฃ "Grocery prices have skyrocketed; how can a family afford that? So, when I win, I will immediately bring prices down," Trump said https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-already-walked-back-221600205.html
  17. So she lost 6m votes. Trump got 3m more votes than in 2020 and 3m did not vote this time.
  18. 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.
  19. Moaning and blaming others seems to be the Brexiteers's way. Since UK left, they cannot go on whining as much as before about the EU and plumbers from Poland, so now they are mainly whining about Muslims.
  20. 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.
  21. You are obviously not up to date, the latest count is 155,419,638, not 143 million. ๐Ÿ˜€ 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!...
