Do you know of many polls where people are asked not only do they like something but then break it down to why they like something? Yours is a patently unfulfillable request created only to give you a way to wriggle out of what you claimed in your original assertion. As for countries with smaller economies, Greece and Hungary certainly qualify in that regard. What did their level of approval of the EU look like? What's more, three of the top five countries with the highest approval ratings of the EU are all highly economically developed and are net contributors to the EU.

How does that make your post false. Let me remind you of what I wrote and your reply: Now you make unrealistic and irrelevant demands to deflect from the fact that what you claimed was false. Greece is certainly one of the smaller nations. Hungary is the EU country that has received the most subsidies per capita in the UE. 2 small countries, aren't they? You've got nothing.

You tried the gambit of equating Trumpls conduct with Bidens in regard to documents. That failed. You bring up the irrelevant case of Hunter Biden You make predictions about the future as though that was evidence. You've got nothing.

You're replying to someone who won't even commit to saying that there's a war going on there.

He's one night on the job and he kills 2 people. If he wasn't there, would those 2 people be dead? He got into a situation where, according to the jury, he had no choice but to kill people. You think that's how a professional should conduct themself? And, to judge from your comment, you clearly don't have a clue about how statistics work.

Another way to know someone's got nothing is when they go after motivation, rather than link to evidence

Because despite his police wannabe aspirations, he had zero training.

False. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/10/13/positive-views-of-european-union-reach-new-highs-in-many-countries/

If he were capable of behaving in a "mature and responsible way" he wouldn't have been there in the first place.

It's simple enough that most of us understand it's a war going on over there and, unlike you, don't evade that issue.

It's always a mark of desperation when someone reverts to empty taunts instead of providing actual evidence.

Bigoted much?

////deleted post edited out//// Biden's comment came after the investigation turned up those documents. It is not proof at all that he knew that he was in possession of them all along. Try again. And, no, POTUS doesn't have a right to materials declassified or otherwise. Even if declassified, they still have to be stored securely. They are still considered sensitive. And Trump's claim that he declassified them prior to leaving office, even though not relevant, is dubious. For the months his lawyers negotiated with NARA they never contended that such was the case. And then, suddenly, out of the blue, came his claim. Laughable.

Fairness doesn't enter into it. It's only a crime if you willfully withhold those documents. No evidence that Biden did so. Evidence overwhelming that Trump did.

I don't think this was a devious ploy on their part. They want to win elections. And EU membership is now very popular.

Lying about the continued possession of unauthorized documents is clearly grounds for an obstruction of justice charge.

And it's significant that other major European right wing parties have also done a U-turn and now favor continued membership in the EU.

So you agree that there's a war going on in Ukraine? And that claims to the contrary are nonsense? You seem very coy about actually condemning that claim.

You used this nonsense as a launching point to promote skepticism. Why shouldn't one assume that you are at best uncertain about the claim? Or do you agree that it's nonsense?

Well, what it could mean is that JonnyF has had a sudden conversion experience since the data he produced actually supports what I claimed. It's a miracle! Hallelujah! There is the unlikely possibility that he meant to refute my claim and just got it massively wrong.

This holiday is "part of Easter"? Really? I think most Christian theologians would challenge your contention. And even it it were true, you think it's a good thing that a government endorses a particular religious practice? Oh wait a minute...Of course you would think that given how closely and corruptly tied together are the Russian Government and the Russian Orthodox Church.

One poll by itself doesn't mean much. The trend still favors Desantis.

What do you believe that this data proves?

You might be able to make a case for skepticism about some things. But skeptical that there's an actual war going on in Ukraine? Really?

And it was noted that it doesn't help in the war aganst this disinformation that the BBC World Service has had its outreach curtailed due to budget cuts. Thanks, Tories.
