Het probleem is BBB zelf.

Folkert Jensma over BBB-leider Van der Plas: "Laat dit even bezinken: een fractievoorzitter vraagt een demissionair kabinet dat op slechts 31 zetels steunt om de Kamer maar buitenspel te zetten. Dan is er toch weinig democratisch besef meer over." Lees meer over aanvallen op de rechtsstaat in NRC.

The Rule of Law v. The Rule of Trump A crisis moment in the defining debate of our time.

"We are facing a clear and present authoritarian danger.

In these circumstances, can Democrats in Congress continue to take the position that their demand from the Trump administration is simply to restore health care funding?

I don’t think so."

The ECHR was designed to serve as a protection of the rights of the individual against the power of the state. Many of its articles were direct answers to the abuses of the Nazi era.

Na de hersenloze bezuinigingen op hoger onderwijs en wetenschap van kabinet Schnoof willen #CDA en #VVD nog wel even verder gaan.

Geef je fascisten die oproepen met de geweld de rechtstaat omver te werpen een podium?
Veel media antwoorden bevestigend en geven zo hun beul het touw waar ze straks zelf aan bungelen.
Het is is een keuze. Ik zou kiezen voor de rechtstaat en tegen fascisten.
Eerdmans wil echt hetzelfde als Wilders.

De verkiezingen gaan over de oplossingen voor Nederland. Doorbreken we de stilstand of gaan we vooruit?

Als Geert Wilders kiest om 1 miljoen mensen uit te sluiten, mag dat nooit normaal worden. Daarom staan wij op. Samen bouwen we aan echte oplossingen en samen gaan we vooruit.

The United States Should Ratify the Rome Statute - Lieber Institute West Point Amb. David Scheffer argues it is time for the United States to abandon the "immunity interpretation" and finally ratify the Rome Statute.

The best thing the US can do after Trump's 2nd term is to ratify the Rome Statute, so that they become a member of the International Criminal Court.

Afterwards the ICC can request the extradition of Trump and the members of his nazi government. Hopefully, they spend the rest of their lives there.

De kans is niet uitgesloten dat verdergaande aanvallen van Poetin/Rusland op Europa de game changer van de verkiezingen worden.
Dan zullen we niet vergeten dat Geert Wilders PVV heel goed bevriend is met de vrienden van Poetin.

US Const Art 3 Section. 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person

If the President of the United States can assemble all of his commanding officers and describe his plans for prosecuting a military conflict against US cities without drawing even an ATTEMPT to impeach him under the Constitution’s explicit definition of treason, the legislature are all oathbreakers.
