So you joined budaatum to tell us you have no clue on how surveys and polls work? Interesting.

The whole world does not need to catch covid for them to estimate the mortality of the disease. They work with samples, those samples in many cases reflect the outcome. When its trump down on polls, you people like polls, now is Biden [insert your excuse here]
I want budaa to give me an example of a leader who handled COVID well. He keeps posting leftist rags critics of Trump, rags that have never published a single positive article about Trump.
He names a leader then we compare what that leader did, the metrics and results of their actions vis-a-vis Trump. Budaa knows I'll catch him on this so he deflects and so he will not answer that simple question.
All he says Trump mishandled COVID. So who handled it well?
He has no answer to that.
Like a programmed robot He regurgitates what Trump 'Katrina' moment crappy vile websites publish.

Buda who believes his own lies. I detest trump because how he has handled covid, people are dying but is silent about Biden who with all the things put in place by Trump and knowledge acquired manage to have more deaths.

Reality be damned by this one. Lies to himself, dance like a headless chicken when he cannot shake of the truth. Defends every delusion could find, even groomers.

Covid is Trump's doing, inflation is not Biden's fault grin

Hilarious
When devoid of facts budaa deflects, pontificates, marks your post like an assignment teacher and then disappears for a few days.
Then comes back to claim victory as if we are in a competition.

I expect this to be far too complex for you to comprehend.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/11/30/biden-trump-compare-covid-deaths/
Do you get your high getting lied and twisted to by media?

Under Joe Biden US has a percentage of fewer world wide deaths. What crap is that?
The rest of the world has more deaths outpacing American deaths. But the story being hidden. The deaths under Biden are more than under Trump , only that the US deaths as a global percentage is lower than under Trump.
Jeeze what reasoning is that?


Wapo hates Trump like any other leftist rags.
As soon as Trump was sworn in these are a few documented fake stories about him which media ran away with without verification.

Strike out the first lie, you talking nonsense. He stiffled blue states with Jared kushner's help. It's on public records dodo

He oversaw vaccine development, yes, because what could he have done, Pfizer and Moderna took the bulls by the horn after Criminal trump was initially slacking telling all Americans that COVID WILL JUST GO AWAY BY APRIL! You have memory redundancy.

Another twisted strikeout, like you don't think fools like you who sow vaccine doubts and decry masking are not responsible for the rising number of covid deaths? But look at the bright side, under Joe Biden over 200M Americans have been vaccinated and had a booster shot!
Faucci was running the show.
Pence was chair of the committee.
Under Joe Biden more people have died than under Trump.
Operation warp speed was designed to remove all bottlenecks facing vax rollout.

What was looking like a certain win was scuppered through his own incompetence, and I'm glad his colours shone through and destroyed his chances. If he'd handled covid well he might have had a third term. And no, that's no miswrite.
Any world leader who handled COVID correctly?
Name one. Explain how that leader did it better than Trump.

Faucci was actually running the show. Had nothing to do with Trump.
You don't need masks, you need masks flip flipping Faucci. Is it Trump who was telling him what to tell the World

You are not making sense or you are trying to dodge the argument. I'm focusing on the USA, but you are chasing shadows not making any sense. I said criminal trump was incompetent with his Covid response, utterly incompetent and he lost after 2016 on that among many of his crimes and grifts (and he will never smell that office again). He actually helped to spread vaccine hate and casted doubts on mask wearing in the federal government and American public with his response. True.
He was incompetent? Yet he made sure hospitals were equipped.
He oversaw vaccine development, but they waited for after elections to announce ' promising' results .

With Joe Biden more people have died of covid than under Trump

Desantis has not come out to affirm the validity of the last election. He's one of those who have enabled the republican supporters to try and usurp democracy. You would really vote for the man??

He has constantly engaged in culture wars rather than stringent issues on ground and you think the republicans are better?? I'm really surprised by you.

I look at Biden and I see an administration devoid of scandals or diplomatic disaster. I see a strong america galvanizing a united Europe in the face of the greatest threat europ have ever faced in the last 7 decades.

Do you have a problem with the Biden administration?? Is there something Biden is really doing wrong??
I'm really eager to hear why you think desantis will be better than Biden. Surely you wouldn't fall for all these culture wars bullshite.
You make me shed a tear. Are you that brainwashed?
De Santis is being cancelled because he don't want 5 year olds being convinced that they are in the wrong gender. That a doctor decided his gender after birth.
Desantis banned mask mandates which the leftists media don't want.


As for Joe Biden scandals. He is devoid really? A senile person. How bout Afghanistan? Americans are still stuck there as I write this.
Opening borders to illegal immigrant human traffickers. All those illegals 3m so far have to pay drug cartels money to enable their pass through. And open borders bringing in drugs. Scandal free my ass.

Ukraine. His son was being paid 83k per month to do nuthin by Burisma. When the Ukraine prosecutor started investigation Joe Biden had him fired.
When Trump called Zelensky asking him about that matter Pelosi impeached Trump.

Joe kills a pipeline Keystone XL , then begs OPEC to increase production. He also goes to beg socialist Venezuela to sell him oil.
He even drains the Strategic oil Reserves, and sends iit to Europe.

I can go on. You are beyond being a r.et.ard.ed nincompoop. Go to another section like romamce

[b]
Though previously unknown, Chaya Raichik was revealed as the Twitter account's creator by software developer Travis Brown in April 2022. The account was originally Raichik's personal account, created in November 2020 with the handle @shaya69830552, and later @shaya_ray and @ChayaRaichik. On her personal account, she downplayed the severity of COVID-19, promoted the conspiracy theory that the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump through election fraud, promoted a false story about a child sex trafficking ring, and had revealed she was present at the 2021 United States Capitol attack. She then changed her handle to @cuomomustgo, focusing on demanding the resignation of the then Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo. By March 2021, she had changed the handle to @houseplantpotus, tweeting as a houseplant in the White House of U.S. President Joe Biden. After this parody account failed to gain much traction, the handle finally became @libsoftiktok in April 2021.

You insist the overbearing is about what you can "buy" in EU when the overbearing is about what you can import into EU. And if you knew anything about bananas and such likes, that they deteriorate in quality quick, you just might understand the importance of guidance for banana importers.

We wouldn't like you to pack Grade A bananas at source only to be arriving at our ports with 'this is not fit for human consumption' grade, and if you were smart you'd heed the guidance instead of thinking we'd allow you to sell crap in our shops and poison our people!

Second. Did you miss the "I should note here two things: One, that I am hugely biased against the very idea of the existence of the European Union itself. I think it’s a bad idea and everyone should leave"?

Do you think it is wrong for EU to have standards for bananas imported into EU?

Should EU let you dump any banana you want in EU?

Do you think UK abandoned standards for banana after it left EU?

When you are full of kraken, bas, all you'd see is bamboo. But if you decide to open your eyes and look, here's another view.
You did not get my point. EU commission is overbearing. You will not buy bananas that your eyes don't like.
Someone should not force you to eat what your eye detests.

Its all about power. Turkey joining will shift the structure of power, their influence will be huge as they are the most populous with Germany in second place.

from the way things are, turkey will join the EU before Ukraine will. that's what i believe unless they are very serious in confronting Russia and keeping Russia at bay.
EU mandarins want to exercise absolute power. Erdogan has a choice. Give up some power to EU eg immigration or else you wont join the club, EU dictates a lot of things major and trivial sweetened by the lure of a huge market. Turkey is a dictatorship Erdogan would rather stay with his power over Turks than lose any power to the EU. I mentioned bananas, Do you know the EU has dictates about the size, weight and shape of bananas that EU members can buy?

I doubt that highly. You can't join the EU without the agreement of France and Germany and I don't see the Eastern Europeans or Greece being favourable to it. What France and Germany says goes in the EU. He who pays the piper dictates the tune. And Sarkozy was a moderate leader but he said plainly what they will never write down. EU is a Caucasian club. Russia has more chance of joining EU than Turkey if Russia choose to go that route.
The EU is a power grab too. Erdogan is a dictator benevolent maybe but he wont let decisions made in Brussels ruin his chokehold on the Turkish people.
EU wants to make nations prosperous as long as the EU commission dictates are obeyed eg don't fish salmon or hold fair elections or bananas should be of a particular shape and size. Something Turkey will not accept.
Hence Turkey will never join the EU

A net importing situation is Nigeria. Welcome to debt land!

Strong dollar will reduce your exports, as those you export to will need more money to buy what you sell, and there's no guarantee the local market would pay those prices especially if some other country is selling the same to you a lot cheaper, as in, if it cost you less in local currency. That's why we buy more from weak currency China than we buy from America. Buyers can always do without you or find alternatives.

Cheap imports into your strong dollar economy will also kill your local producing market (Walmart), because manufacturers will move to where imports come from (Apple). Jobs in both sectors will disappear and employment and discontent will increase, as will your deficit, and your tax revenue will decrease at a time when you'd need more money for social expenditure. And as your debt grows, so will its cost, as more interest will be charged on what you owe.


We do not live in your "ideal world" where anyone buys less and sells more to earn a surplus. In the real world, you'd have countries like Japan that has to import all its energy, and America, both with huge deficits and debt, and your strong currency will be nothing if you are not producing anything because it's cheaper to import. Your tax revenue will decrease too, and you would have to sustain more people with what you have or you'd have riots on your streets, and your cost of borrowing will rise, which will then weaken you currency.

You are not the only person in the world, you see. You might be able to pull the shots with say, Nigeria, but countries like Saudi and China that you import from, will peg their currency to your dollar so strong or weak does not affect them much.
