Dobbs. Even before that the Supremes had been steadily eroding that right.

There's a rumor going around that the news media also use written words.

I remembe when not so long ago after Boris Johnson won his last vote of confidence that his supporters were claiming that it was an absolute victory and the subject was closed. Truss seems determined to invite a vote of confidence even earlier in her term.

And apparently longer than the Bank of England Bank of England will buy UK government bonds to try to calm markets The Bank of England will buy up U.K. government bonds to try to halt a dramatic sell-off as it warned of a "material risk to UK financial stability" in the wake of the government's mini-budget. The central bank said that it would today start buying long-dated government bonds at “whatever scale is necessary” in a bid to “restore orderly market conditions.” “The Bank is monitoring developments in financial markets very closely in light of the significant repricing of UK and global financial assets,” it said in a statement. https://www.politico.eu/article/bank-of-england-will-buy-uk-government-bonds-to-try-to-calm-markets/

And since then have home prices trailed the inflation rate, kept pace with the inflation rate, excerded the inflation rate moderately, or exceeded the inflation rate in a big way?

What implication was there the a "far away" country was responsible? Can you share with us where that implication is located?mplications? And please share with us the source of your claim that "there was a possible deal for gas supply to resume in exchange for Ukraine giving up 20% of its territory." But if you can't, and I doubt strongly you can, then stop spreading falsehoods. There used to be someone posting on this thread who repeatedly claimed that he "heard" various reports that somehow he could never link to. I think he has a successor.

Actually, the last thing the US govt. would want is Europeans to lose access to another important source of gas like the Baltic pipeline.. That would raise the price of gas worldwide and be politically disastrous for the current administration in the U.S. And of course, be big boost for Putin.

This is the country that was stupid enough to wage war against Ukraine. So, compared to that, a veiled threat to the Baltic pipeline is minor league stuff. Can you please share with us the source of your information that "Many European leaders have come to realise that they have been duped by the US into fighting this proxy war but are impotent to do anything about it." Because if you can't, then what your offering is pure B.S.

Sure Zaporizhzhia: Russian official tells UN nuclear inspectors rocket ‘did 180’ flip Russian official has claimed to UN inspectors that a rocket near to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant did a complete 180 degree flip - which is why it appeared to have come from Russian-occupied territory, it has been reported. The official, who was accompanying UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors on a visit to Europe’s biggest nuclear plant, was filmed being questioned on why the rocket appeared to have come from Russian-occupied territory. He claimed that the missile was fired from the Ukrainian side only to perform a turn in the air before landing to appear to have come from the direction of Russian forces. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant-ukraine-un-international-atomic-energy-agency-b1022842.html

That actually makes his prediction worse.

The thing is, in the Trump organization's case, it's not just about an opinion on the value a various properties.. It's about outright lying. For example, he claimed his apartment's area was 30,000 square feet. It was 11, 000 square feet. And there's lots more stuff like that.

Now she Liz? She's a lowliife who was complicit in promoting the Iraq war and still defends it. And that's only one of a multitude of her sins.

And if the GOP takes the house and the investigations don't go away, you can come back and say whatever you like.

Because in the absence of demand the wealthy are going to invest and create businesses. What are they? Beavers? Time and time again supply side economics has failed. Brush up on history.

It's hard to take seriously people who offer predictions like this as some sort of rebuttal. Especially when the evidence is so thin.

Your prediction that Meloni's victory somehow signals that the EU is teetering on collapse is laughable. In fact, in 2019, Meloni dropped her opposition to the EU because it doesn't play well with Italians. 72% of Italians want to stay in the EU.

But doctors say flying after the first trimester can be hazardous to the fetus...oh wait a minute...

I've read the article. If what it reports is factually true, that counts as evidence. Whether it's enough evidence by itself to bring charges is a different question. But that's what investigations are for.

Whereas it is easy to understand why he pardoned felons who could have implicated him in criminal acts.

Are you taking your instructions from Mordor? You're comments are growing increasingly tendentious. JohnnyF dismissed the facts I offered by calling the Washington Post a rag like the Daily Mail. Now maybe to your way of thinking he was calling the Washington Post low quality because of the cheap newsprint it's still printed on?

And yet you misapplied an arithmetical reckoning to the issue whyi?

When someone challenges a source by writing this: "The Washington Post is a rag. It's the equivalent of quoting The Daily Star. " what other interpretation can be rationally offered?

The notion that the Washington Post would sanction lying about something so easy to disprove is just nuts. Such a belief says a lot about its critics but very little about reality. Anyway, I took a wild crazy chance and googled "Italy gets access to almost $200 billion" Against all odds these turned up: "Meloni has repeatedly sought to calm fears she would challenge European Union rules designed to keep deficits in check, or jeopardize almost 200 billion euros ($196 billion) in recovery funds from the bloc by seeking to renegotiate some of the terms. Any change in Italy’s pro-EU stance could exacerbate fears about the country’s colossal debt burden." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-25/far-right-leader-is-in-box-seat-to-succeed-mario-draghi-in-italy "Meloni has long been a Euroskeptic — and in the past has talked about taking Italy out of the common currency, the euro, and even of leaving the European Union. But she has repeatedly promised she'll work with the EU and can be trusted to manage the 200 billion euros ($194 billion) Italy has received in European pandemic recovery funds." https://www.npr.org/2022/09/24/1124685476/giorgia-meloni-italy-election "Italy’s next government cannot expect Brussels to renegotiate the fundamentals of a €200bn EU-funded Covid-19 recovery plan and must stick firmly to the reform pledges that Rome has made, the EU’s economic commissioner has warned. Paolo Gentiloni said it was in Italy’s interests to press ahead with reforms to reboot its underperforming economy, no matter who won snap elections in September after the collapse of prime minister Mario Draghi’s government. “You know the Latin pacta sunt servanda — agreements must be kept,” Gentiloni, a former Italian prime minister, said in an interview." https://www.ft.com/content/a0d78778-2d10-47e6-88a9-6fc70356fa9d "Italy has huge amounts of EU money on the line. It is awaiting nearly €200 billion in EU cash and loans as part of the country’s massive share of the bloc’s coronavirus recovery stimulus package. In order to secure each instalment, the government must deliver on a long list of commitments to reform and cut back spending made by previous administrations." https://www.euractiv.com/section/elections/news/eu-sees-trouble-but-no-breakdown-with-italy-far-right-in-power/ Enough?

Italy's contributions are a fraction of the support they'll be getting from the EU. Do the math. And spare us the irrelevant slagging of the Washington Post. But I guess if you can't rebut the facts, that's the route you've got to take.

Actually, if you have been following the elections in Italy you would know that it's extremely unlikely that the right wing government of Italy will leave the EU, In fact, thanks to an approximately 200 billiion euro fund, Italy is actually in better shape financially now than the EU. Britain has replaced Italy as Europe’s problem economy By Sebastian Mallaby However loudly the populists used to denounce Europe’s Germanic orthodoxy, they now promise to implement the economic plan drawn up by Draghi and approved by the E.U. — not least because it comes with almost $200 billion of post-pandemic recovery aid from Brussels. Over the summer, fearing another euro-zone crisis triggered by the price shocks from the Ukraine war, the central bank created a bond-buying program to protect wobbly countries from short-selling hedge funds. To retain access to this support, Italy has to avoid crazy policies. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/09/26/britain-europe-weak-economy/ So, your claim that Italy doesn't need EU "grants" is irrelevant. More than ever it needs EU support. Within nations, some regions are net contributors and some are net beneficiaries. Why should it be different in the EU? Especially, when the quantities, viewed in relation to a country's GDP are so small. Do you know how relatively small the net contributions of the UK were to the EU? About 0.35% of total GDP.
