Thinking this is wrong isn’t radical.
Thinking it isn’t is.
Informateur Wijers is weggewerkt door de borrelclub-elite. Wel heel toevallig dat die club per se de VVD in het kabinet wil hebben.

Mensen hebben behoefte aan duidelijkheid, stabiliteit en keuzes, niet permanente politieke twijfel. Vanuit de Kamer zullen wij ons voor die mensen keihard inzetten.
EXCLUSIVE: Federal tax prosecutions fell to their lowest level in decades this year, declining more than 27% from the year before as the Trump administration cut the ranks of attorneys and agents who pursue those cases, a Reuters examination has found.

Before you speak to me about your religion, first show it to me in how you treat others; before you tell me how much you love your God, show me in how much you love all His children; before you preach to me of your passion for your faith, teach me about it in your compassion for your neighbors.

"De keuze voor een minderheidskabinet is een keuze voor een permanente formatie.”
“Wij zullen verantwoordelijkheid blijven nemen; ieder voorstel op eigen merites beoordelen, maar nemen geen verantwoordelijkheid voor de permanente onzekerheid die zo’n kabinet met zich mee brengt.”

Houses are expensive because billionaires gobble up homes and fix the rent or turn them into Airbnbs. The billionaires want you to think immigrants are buying up all the property.

Has Trump totally lost it? Watch! It’s one thing to read about his mental decline, another to see it. That’s why this video is so important. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

"But if no one stands up to Trump during his public forays into unacceptable behavior, if this is the example America’s boys and girls are growing up with, who will stop it when it happens in private? And what will we become?"

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.
Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.
He continues to be a national embarrassment.
It's vile to kill people with no actual legal justification and also vile to joke about killing those people.

Just answer my question.” What I don’t get is why they don’t push back in united solidarity.

Als je het sadistische jagers- en boerenframe 'probleemwolf' klakkeloos overneemt, gaan mensen op den duur geloven dat wolven en niet de mensen die massaal dieren doden het probleem zijn.
