You mean like the Hedge fund managers, bankers, and big real estate interests who all benefited hugely from the Trump tax cuts? Apparently you don't believe in "follow the money."

No they did not all predict remain. And in fact as the referendum day approached the polls got tighter and tighter. At the end a 2 point spread separated them. Within the margin of error. https://ig.ft.com/sites/brexit-polling/

Thank goodness indeed! "A survey by pollsters Survation found that 59 per cent of voters think the government’s “high priority” lane for friends and associates is corrupt, while just 16 per cent think it is not. In November the National Audit Office revealed that Boris Johnson’s government had set up the fast-track lane “to assess and process potential PPE leads from government officials, ministers’ offices, MPs and lords”. For those on the list, the chances of success when bidding for a government contract were one in 10, compared to just one in a hundred for other suppliers." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/government-s-coronavirus-contract-awards-to-tory-friends-are-corruption-public-believe-b1776319.html "The procurement system was cobbled together during a meeting of anxious bureaucrats in late March, and a wealthy former investment banker and Conservative Party grandee, Paul Deighton, who sits in the House of Lords, was later tapped to act as the government’s czar for personal protective equipment. Eight months on, Lord Deighton has helped the government award billions of dollars in contracts –– including hundreds of millions to several companies where he has financial interests or personal connections. The contracts that have been made public are only a part of the total." https://archive.ph/Lei0Z https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/12/17/world/europe/britain-covid-contracts.html The UK is well on its way to becoming a banana republic...rather....make that banana parliamentary democracy.

My mistake. I quoted it in a different thread. Here it is: "President Biden’s family and their allies brought in at least $20 million from foreign sources, including first son Hunter Biden’s business associates in Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine — some of whom dined with the current commander-in-chief, the House Oversight Committee revealed Wednesday." https://nypost.com/2023/08/09/hunter-biden-linked-foreign-haul-at-20m-with-russia-ukraine-kazak-transfers-comer/

What part of "and his allies" don't you understand?

That a judge thinks it's so, is serious proof enough.

What percentage still support it?

Well, maybe you think it's just as likely that remain supporters think that things will get better as Brexit progresses as it will get worse. Given other polling, that seems like a very very dubious assumption. Especially given that at this point polls consistently show far more voters think it was a mistake than not. Is it likely that those who think Brexit was a mistake think the outcome will turn out to be better than remaining would have been?

If you look more closely at the graph, you'll see that a far higher percentage of Remain voters than Leave voter think Brexit isn't done. Given the increasingly negative evaluation of Brexit by UK citizens, the opinion that Brexit isn't done doesn't exactly look like a vote of confidence.

I noticed somebody put a "confused" emoji on my previous comment. I agree. They definitely are.

Not if he gets convicted in the Georgia.state case.

Judge Rules in Favor of Montana Youths in a Landmark Climate Case The Montana case revolved around language in the state Constitution that guarantees residents “the right to a clean and healthful environment,” and stipulates that the state and individuals are responsible for maintaining and improving the environment “for present and future generations.” https://archive.ph/He43f https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/14/us/montana-youth-climate-ruling.html

A landmark judgement in the US state of Montana has seen its Environmental Policy Act ruled unconstitutional because it does not consider the climate impacts of fossil fuel projects, setting an important precedent for similar cases nationwide. After three years in the courts, the case brought by 16 youth, each of whom described the impacts of climate change on their lives, said the law violated their state constitutional rights to a clean and healthy environment. "This court ruling is a step toward climate justice," said Delta Merner, lead scientist at the Science Hub for Climate Litigation at the Union of Concerned Scientists, in a statement on Monday. https://www.dw.com/en/historic-montana-climate-ruling-rides-wave-of-litigation/a-66227163

Here's a record of the results fram Jan 26, 2020 through Jul 20, 2023 of various polls asking "In hindsight, do you think Britain was right or wrong to vote to leave the European Union? https://www.statista.com/statistics/987347/brexit-opinion-poll/

I don't know what you mean by the "newspapers", the year was 2016, not 1916, but fivethirtyeight, the leading prediction site at the time, gave Trump a 28.6% chance of winning https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/ .To take your last assertion first. It's false. 20 million went to Hunter Biden and business associates including Devon Archer. President Biden’s family and their allies brought in at least $20 million from foreign sources, including first son Hunter Biden’s business associates in Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine — some of whom dined with the current commander-in-chief, the House Oversight Committee revealed Wednesday. https://nypost.com/2023/07/31/ex-hunter-biden-partner-devon-archer-arrives-for-house-deposition/ what does "and their allies: mean to you? As for the laptop, yes ex-National Security officials got it wrong. But the fact is that the NYPost published it without any vetting at all. In fact, the seasoned reporter that they assigned to write up the story refused on those grounds. Moreover, Giuliani refused to share date with other media that could have helped confirm its validity. Here's what happened when NBC News tried to report on the alleged Hunter Biden emails Analysis: Trump complains the media isn't reporting on Hunter Biden's emails. But NBC News met obstacles, including Rudy Giuliani, when it tried. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/here-s-what-happened-when-nbc-news-tried-report-alleged-n1245533 As for your claim about the WHO, given the low value of your other claims, I'm not going to bother to track thata one down.

Since Kushner was a government official when the Qataris helped at least partly to bail his family out of a disastrous investment made by Jared, I think it would be legitimate for Congress to investigate that investment. According to people who know about such things, the investment made no financial sense for the investors. It looked like money was just throw away. Who apart from a cash-rich government would make such an investment?

Are these people lying, too? .Daily attendance numbers for the 2023 Iowa State Fair Day 3 of the 2023 Iowa State Fair drew 118,286 people to the fairgrounds in east Des Moines. That's 5,274 more people than Day 3 last year, when a total of 1,118,763 people went through the gates over the fair's 11 days. The record for Day 3 attendance is 127,277 in 1991, and the all-time attendance mark is 1,170,375 in 2019. https://www.kcci.com/article/daily-attendance-numbers-for-the-2023-iowa-state-fair/44796130# That last number is for the grand total of all the days of the fair.

As for those fearless IRS investigators. Why is it that Gary Shapley refused to testify before the Senate Finance Committee? IRS ‘whistleblower’ who claimed Hunter Biden case was mishandled won’t cooperate with Senate probe An Internal Revenue Service criminal investigator who has accused Justice Department officials of slow-walking a long-running probe into President Joe Biden’s son Hunter’s tax affairs has cut off communication with a key congressional committee amid questions about the veracity of his claims and his motivations for coming forward. The special agent, Gary Shapley, is a veteran of the IRS criminal investigations department who on Thursday revealed his identity in an interview with CBS News. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/irs-whistleblower-gary-shapley-hunter-biden-b2346365.html He had no problem testifying before a committee run by Republicans but not one run by Democrats. Hmmm...

I guess in your world death threats aren't a kind of harassment.

Again, perjury is about lying. Being mistaken is not perjury. Expressing an opinion is not perjury. Why is this so hard for you to understand? And taking reports from 2 highly biased sources is not convincing. Here's a link to an article that's far more objective Five takeaways from Hunter Biden IRS whistleblower hearing https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4106883-five-takeaways-from-hunter-biden-irs-whistleblower-hearing/ As for this: "If you read IRS testimony on the the pages I listed previously and quit tying to change the topic and create childish distractions about your inherent self serving bias and confusion tactic you will see witness testimony giving evidence of FBI refusing to provide access to the laptop evidence to the IRS for their examination based on the FBI informing them there is :likely evidence of tax crimes..." it's always revealing when someone engages in personal insults. Revealing about the person who makes them. You actually offered no specifics to back up your claims about my "childish distractions". What "confusion tactic" did I employ?" It looks to me like anyone throwing our accusations without specifics to back them up is the one engaging in a "confusion taxtic". You still haven't offered any evidence of the FBI denying IRS investigators access to the laptop. Where's your evidence? Why would it even be necessary given that its contents have been widely disseminated and are in the public domain?

How is saying it could the case that there was no fraud an accusation or stoke the fires? It's those who claim that there was fraud or could be fraud, even though even the Trump campaign hired 2 teams of forensic experts who looked for it and found nothing, who clearly are stoking the fires. And who is the number 1 stoker?

No, it's not a rounding error. Here is the info again with fuller quotes. You'll note that in the earlier paper that established levels were lower going back at least 2.1 million years it specifically notes this: "This finding means that researchers will need to look back further in time for an analog to modern day climate change." In other words no CO2 levels were found that matched modern day levels. So, no contradiction between this study and the one going back 3.6 million years. Carbon Dioxide Higher Today Than Last 2.1 Million Years The authors show that peak CO2 levels over the last 2.1 million years averaged only 280 parts per million; but today, CO2 is at 385 parts per million, or 38% higher. This finding means that researchers will need to look back further in time for an analog to modern day climate change. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090618143950.htm#:~:text= * In fact, later research has extended that all the way back t0 3.6 million years ago where finally comparable CO2 levels were found. Carbon dioxide levels are now higher than at anytime in the past 3.6 million years The atmospheric burden of CO2 is now comparable to where it was during the Mid-Pliocene Warm Period around 3.6 million years ago, when concentrations of carbon dioxide ranged from about 380 to 450 parts per million. During that time sea level was about 78 feet higher than today, the average temperature was 7 degrees Fahrenheit higher than in pre-industrial times, and studies indicate large forests occupied areas of the Arctic that are now tundra. https://research.noaa.gov/2021/04/07/despite-pandemic-shutdowns-carbon-dioxide-and-methane-surged-in-2020/

Really? Well there was a link in the daily news story to support the claim in the article I cited that a judge in another case of Trump's had received death threats: NYC judge presiding over Trump’s criminal case related to Stormy Daniels hush money payment receiving death threats The Manhattan judge presiding over Donald Trump’s hush money case has received dozens of death threats and other harassing calls and emails amid the historic indictment of the former president. Phone numbers and email addresses associated with State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan, who has been attacked by Trump on social media and in public remarks, have been flooded with hate mail in the weeks since Trump learned of his pending indictment, a source with direct knowledge told the Daily News. The content of the calls, emails and letters was described as harassing and defamatory, with most of the trolls calling from out of state, the source said. https://archive.ph/KNRqj#selection-1635.0-1661.156 https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-nyc-judge-death-threats-donald-trump-hush-money-case-20230406-eyeegfg2jbeobdinxyuckx2cyi-story.html

Is this migration the reason that Texas has steadily been electing more Democrats. Because it's turning redder?

As Weiss pointed out, they don't have to be lying. They can be mistaken. Prosecutor Rebuts I.R.S. Official’s Account of Request in Hunter Biden Case David C. Weiss, the federal prosecutor in Delaware who has led the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden, on Monday rebutted a key element of testimony to Congress by an Internal Revenue Service official who said that Mr. Weiss complained about being blocked from pursuing the case the way he wanted. In a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr. Weiss said that he had never asked Justice Department officials to give him special counsel status to pursue the case, contradicting testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee by the I.R.S. official, Gary Shapley, who said Mr. Weiss had sought that status and been turned down. Mr. Weiss suggested that Mr. Shapley might have misunderstood him during an October 2022 meeting. Mr. Weiss, the U.S. attorney for Delaware, who was appointed to the role under President Donald J. Trump, said in the letter that he had approached a department higher-up about the possibility of requesting status as a special attorney, not as a special counsel. https://archive.ph/qmWsY https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/10/us/politics/david-weiss-hunter-biden-irs.html In addition, IRS investigators are not prosecutors. Investigators are not privy to the reasons why decisions are made at the prosecutorial level. In fact, the IRS doesn't even have the power to prosecute Federal prosecutors are very reluctant to bring cases to court unless they have an overwhelming case. As John Durham should have known. Tax fraud cases are particuarly difficult to prosecute. Why Hunter Biden wasn’t charged with felony tax evasion after years-long probe Former federal prosecutor Maureen Ruane told The Post she also wasn’t surprised by prosecutors offering the misdemeanor plea deal. In general, she said, tax evasion charges “are very infrequently sought” because of the difficulty of showing intent. She said that a plea deal “avoids the risks” of going to trial and the “resources and time and energy” required to follow a case through appeals. https://nypost.com/2023/06/21/why-hunter-biden-wasnt-charged-with-felony-tax-evasion/ And you still haven't offered any evidence that the FBI denied IRS investigators access to the laptop, or why that even matters, considering its contents have are in the public domain.
