nauseus

I think I can see a splinter sticking out of your soapbox.

Worth trying just to see what happens. Good luck. Let us know!

Yes, my bad, formally gone (dismissed March) in 2016. Shokin actually resigned in mid February after Biden had forced that in Dec 2015. Poroshenko appointed Shokin only a year earlier. Only a few RINOS signed the letter I think, which was after the resignation anyway.

Still no proof that Shokin was not investigating Burisma, despite all your propaganda and stories.

Shokin was already gone in 2015. Stop wasting my time.

As your offerings are also unproven. Why should Shokin's account be ignored? Because you say so? You remember when Shokin was fired - so what? Don't play shame games.

Here, take your pick. At least as credible as yours: https://www.wionews.com/world/bidens-coerced-burisma-ceo-in-bribery-scheme-to-get-ukraine-prosecutor-fired-617950 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/comer-demands-state-dept-explain-sudden-decisions-leading-to-firing-of-ukrainian-prosecutor-probing-burisma https://www.farsnews.ir/en/news/14020608000674/Emails-Reveal-Hner-Biden-Helped-Devise-Plan-'Clse-Dwn'-Ukrainian https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12449675/Former-Ukrainian-prosecutor-Viktor-Shokin-unleashes-Bidens-bombshell-interview.html https://nypost.com/2023/08/04/viktor-shokin-was-threat-to-burisma-says-hunter-biden-partner-devon-archer/

Yahoo might trust the word of Poroshenko - I do not - he's as corrupt as the rest of them. There is no actual proof attached to what he says. You don't seem to understand this.

A major issue for the Bidens was that their chief prosecutor was doing his job. You still don't seem to understand this.

I'm sure over 100 armed officers were not at the scene but these smaller groups of firearms officers are and have to be in close contact with each other, via radio and other means. Other groups remote from the incident would have known about it almost immediately. Yes, agree that justice needs to prevail.

Income? OK, that's enough.

Checked. Your link is the YoY rate (Dec to Dec), which does not reveal the period of highest inflation. The highest recent US monthly inflation rate was in July '22. Above 5% for >18 months - not particularly "temporary" and it may not be done yet. https://www.statista.com/statistics/273418/unadjusted-monthly-inflation-rate-in-the-us/

Yes, of course significant. But you might check your post too? Inflation was at its recent high last year, not 2021.

It is.

Looks like your inflation comments are about one year out. Peak US inflation was July 22, after which it improved to June 23. Now it's edging up again due to high energy prices plus effects of higher wages.

Well if you care to sort out your own jumbled words it might be seen that we basically agree.

2020 being the first Covid year. 2021 being the second Covid year. 2022 being the rebound year post Covid.

Hmmm. Thanks. Not sure. Difficult innit?

Well thanks for the reply and some agreement. I'm not celebrating the state of UK politics at all but that's a different issue. Theresa May? Remember when she was summoned to Berlin by Mutti Merkel and had to leave Downing St about 3 in the morning to make the meeting? Just before the great Chequers Agreement was revealed. Well I agree with your criteria and requirements, I am afraid that many EU Commissioners (past and present) have appeared to be neither competent nor on top of their respective briefs. Unfortunately the same might be said of several UK cabinet ministers (and "Prime" Ministers). ????

Yes. But you have ignored my main point. That's OK.

Yewell be soooooorry!

Looks like most of them are back on duty now: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-66909729

EU member states are ruled by their own governments but the EU itself assumes much of the power that would otherwise be solely held and applied by these individual governments, if they were not EU members. EU Law is proposed only by the Commission, which is comprised of commissioners from various member states. The main problem with this is that the EU now has 27 member states. The best interests of all members are different can rarely best served by one body (commission) making laws for all. This was one of the reasons for Brexit. The EU Commissioners themselves, are nominated for selection and approval, rather than being purely and openly elected. This system seems to rely more on closed-door bartering, rather than democratic process and has produced some poor results in the past, and more today. Here, I'm particularly thinking of the EU Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, who had a poor record as German defence minister, no experience at all within the EU and was criticized by her own compatriots: “the Bundeswehr’s condition is catastrophic,” wrote Rupert Scholz, former German defense minister, who added. “The entire defense capability of the Federal Republic is suffering, which is totally irresponsible.” After that, von der Leyen magically emerged as EU President but only after an overnight intervention by Angela Merkel (who also seemed keen on overnight trips for Theresa May). This event confirmed who really was running the EU for so long. I wonder how many Europeans (apart from Germans) knew who Ursula von der Leyen even was before she became the boss? Single digit % I would bet.

I will answer with a no. But these repeated Qs are rather Dandemanesqueish.

All the British TV chefs seem to use some green top squid-based stuff, which I detest and can ruin many Thai dishes. I like what must be the most popular Thai fish sauce, which has to be Tiparos, made from fermented anchovies, which I have consumed gallons of over the years without problem and which should be good for you too, given that the anchovy is a source of omega-3 and selenium.
