    Statistics are a narrative. What else do you got?

    But the statistics don't agree with your narrative.

    To understand statistics, you need at least an elementary education in mathematics.

    These people even think that everything was better when the convicted felon left office than it is today.

    The rest of the world can clearly see it and is amazed and impressed, but not they because they instead believe the lies from their beloved Fhrer.

    Conning people is easy. You just need to overcome their intelligence. But convincing people they've been conned is much harder. You need to overcome their pride.

    Hello Bjrn,

    Statistics are a narrative. What else do you got?

    But the statistics don't agree with your narrative.

    To understand statistics, you need at least an elementary education in mathematics.

    Balderdash. I was watching all those old farts gathering in
    Normandy and noticed Russia was left out. We all know what real
    Nazis did to Russians back in the day, and that only a snowstorm
    saved them from oblivion. The statistics speak for themselves.

    These people even think that everything was better when the convicted felon
    left office than it is today.

    Low inflation, secure borders, cheap gas ...

    The rest of the world can clearly see it and is amazed and impressed, but not they because they instead believe the lies from their beloved Fhrer.

    What kind of dreamworld are you living in? The convicted felon
    is right. Vladimir Putin is a great man.

    All of Europe, including Scandinavia, is jealous. That is why
    Russia was left out of the 80-year anniversary D-Day celebrations
    in Normandy.

    President Biden of the USA was there. President Macron of France
    was there. I can go on down the list. But for the first time, the
    self-declared leader of Russia was not invited. And the convicted
    felon is quite upset.

    Putin was not invited, and the convicted felon was banned.
    No wonder the two of them agree that NATO is not fair.

    For Life,
    Lee
