Gai Bahn. LOL.

Most probable - maybe added some of the old knockout dust in his drink - my sympathies, even though he's a Chooks fan. Come on you Spurs....brush the dust off and 'av another go.

Best to wait at least until 28th and see what happens then.

That's because they were selling so much to China then.

How about growth?

Completely different than in 1997. This is mainly to do with the USA and its policies, which have finally resulted in inflation. There is a high demand for dollars at the moment for various reasons but this may reverse soon, if it is shown that the US economy has weakened enough to prompt a bigger sell-off of US government and corporate bonds, and eventually dollars, abroad. Fear and sentiment will also drive the markets, rates and USD up or down.

Very useful I'm sure?

Maybe someone had just put him out?

Finnair more directly affected than other European airlines trying fly to east Asia, due to Russian airspace restrictions after sanctions due to Ukraine invasion.

I think the phrase in question was used 5x but you should watch it and see.

You've shifted now to your own opinion of what constitutes fitness for office and how "free" the press is. Both debatable but also off topic.

I guess you mean my ex-post. Well just to clarify, my comment about Biden being worse than Trump was on their relative performances during their times in office (as presidents/leaders). I think that once it was plain that there was going to be no legal way to contest the election result, probably once Barr had said his piece, then Trump should have conceded - whether he still believed it was stolen or not - and just got on with getting ready to handover to Biden. The final two months of the Trump presidency were his worst by far and they will probably mean that he won't ever get the four more years he obviously wanted.

I say, thanks!

I might but could you start another thread for that?

Well I said you wouldn't believe me. But that's OK.

As your summary seems to mainly pertain to Trump berating NATO (actually some individual members), these members, particularly Germany, were indeed guilty of long-term under contribution relative to their GDP's and far less than their pledged commitments, which put even more burden on the USA. Trump reminded them of this but I don't think he really wanted the USA to quit NATO. Look what's happening now that Putin has attacked Ukraine - those that have not done so already, are increasing their military spending. NATO would have been far more capable already if all members had kept to the deal over time. Germany, by far the largest economy in Europe, will take years to be at the NATO member strength that it should be at today.

Since May. Way after Pelosi rejected him.

Pelosi controlled the committee picks.

Not the same principle at all. This hearing is not (or at least not supposed to be) on par with a criminal trial of bank robbers. Pelosi prejudges and that just squashes any chance of cooperation. Nothing back.

The link was not posted by me.

Why not print the whole link?

I was adding in from the link is all.

https://www.politifact.com/article/2022/jun/08/legitimacy-jan-6-committee-explained/ From the GOP side, the main problem seems to be that Pelosi flat rejected Jordan and Banks as being "too closely tied to Trump" to help carry out a credible investigation". How can anyone expect to get any bipartisan cooperation when elected representatives are discounted like that? What about the rest of the proposed committee that have long histories of being overly anti Trump? What's wrong with having some balance? This partisan (Pelosi) action and the reasoning for it, revealed that this whole sham is about a virtual third Trump impeachment, more than anything to do with stopping future similar riots.

However, McCarthy differs from the committee in believing the coup attempt was never “plausible” and that “the system did work” in preventing the election being overturned, comments of which you can watch below.
