nauseus

See how the words "no effect on U.S. foreign policy" are included? Influence peddling is the suspected issue, which is not necessarily reliant on foreign policy. "No knowledge of any wrongdoing by Joe Biden" does not necessarily mean it did not happen. Devon C. Y. A. Archer if you ask me (or his lawyer).

I can't answer that but from the numbers I gave you before it seems too high. But 25m? not a chance.

Nobody seems to be able to agree on the correct valuation. I answered your question and these double negatives don't help..

Well that "unequal treatment" attempt backfired last time. Maybe HB should just stay schtum.

Even sounds right to Letitia James (75m), Newsweek (170m), Forbes (350m) and others even more. But 25m? No way.

And don't forget Bognor Regis.

Oceanfront, Palm Beach. 20 acres, $25 million. Yeah right! ????

I never thought that any one individual could manage this but I don't think that you know anything, about anything.

Always back to Trump! Hopeless.

Orderly? Not according to the Texas Gov: “Texas installed razor wire in Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings,” Abbott explained on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Today the Biden Admin CUT that wire, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants.” https://nypost.com/2023/09/21/biden-administration-sending-800-new-troops-to-border-amid-migrant-crisis/ Fed v state? Looks like a good way to break up the USA. Brilliant Biden.

It doesn't matter. If nothing changes it will be soon.

Good idea. Makes it easier to repel borders.

This is just a proxy group promoted by the EU. The ultimate goal of total control of Europe (and however large they can make it in the meantime) by the EU has always been the same.

Try using soap.

It always seemed that the UK was some kind of "associate" member anyway. There were few such offers from the EU in 2016 - all of their conditions meant staying in really.

So we can rejoin ourselves, most generous. But your ball needs cleaning.

Not a very pleasant sentiment. But typical.

Wrong guess. I put "agreed" because the laggard members who had "agreed" to the 2% dragged their collective a$$es for the next 10 years, even contributing less after 2006, in some cases. The Russian annexation of Crimea did boost the NATO pot but so did Donald Trump - his threat that NATO might lose the USA as its main guard was at least as great as the threat from Russia. Trump's speech confirmed his message to NATO regarding funding - as in stop messing about and get your money on the table. He was quite right to press for this, as we can all see now.

The original 2% target was "agreed" back in 2006 but several members' contributions actually declined after this and the agreement was not fulfilled. The 2024 deadline was included in a new 2014 pledge, when light members finally began to wake up after the Crimea was annexed! Even then money was slow to flow but after Trump complained about this directly to NATO in 2017, contributions improved more thereafter. Not politically correct, of course, but that's Trump and that worked. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_67655.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4glfwiMXgwQ

The increases were pledges that been broken previously.

All of those Cali attributes were in place long before Newsom. NATO "standing" was actually enhanced by Trump's boot in its a$$ - that made NATO more prepared for 2022.

Mind the sandbag.

Well Mr. Flamboyant just presided over 4 relatively stable years for the US, until the mess right at the end. Those final two months needed Trump to accept his election lot and concede, to have a better chance to try again. That chance has probably gone now. For sheer idiocy, then I would go with the vastly experienced present POTUS, who seems to be ruining and harming the country, perhaps irreparably, with rash policies, insane military decisions and general stupidity. Biden seems to have learned nothing over a privileged 40+ year opportunity, Hopeless.

You sound like Mandelson. So we will disagree, forever.
