If the master plan is to become a third world dictatorship they are on track.

Why does a simple ballroom cost 300 million dollar? LA’s sky mansion cost 300 million, but that is a futuristic building. Trump’s ballroom is 4 walls and a roof, some gold paint and tacky furmiture. Perhaps a professional kitchen and some security features. But 300 million dollar?

Ze weten ook niet zo goed wat academische vrijheid is. Dat beperkt zich tot onderzoek en onderwijs. Wat Pettit in zijn vrije tijd in het publiek debat doet is het geven van zijn privé politieke mening. Daar gaat de universiteit niet over.

The President of the Nebraska Farm Bureau shouldn’t have voted an idiot into office.

It is everybody’s luck that he doesn’t know any qualified people.

A fairly deseperate attemp to deflect attention from the other files.

One of the strengths of leadership is never to force your own norms on someone else, so the leader is a wise man.

A gene for chronic pain - and we’re supposed to be intelligently designed?

I could be wrong, but I doubt if liberal democracy is his thing.

Russia’s hybrid warfare is so much helped by the fact that the president of the USA has no clue about anything.

Bijna bewonderenswaardig hoe Naftaniel erin slaagt te doen alsof Israël níet verantwoordelijk is voor de hel in Gaza en de massale uithongering van een complete bevolking.

It’s the start of rewriting the history of the Vietnam war into one the US won.

Also a legal obligation. The US is still a signatory to the UN-treaty, which forbids agressive war, so any order to seize Greenland is illegal. And since Neurenberg you cannot hide behind an order, you have to establish the legality yourself and refuse to execute when illegal.

He is playing chess with one piece.

Americans have low taxes, but quite a few of them live paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford decent healthcare insurance. Your low taxes are only nice for the rich. But yes, you have cheap cars with huge engines. The CO-exhaust might come in handy when you cannot afford your hospital bills anymore.

Hold Amazon accountable: Protect workers’ rights! Jeff Bezos pockets over 100,000 euros every three minutes while Amazon forces workers into a surveillance nightmare—timing their every move and punishing the smallest breaks. Workers are fighting back...

Amazon tracks, times, and punishes workers while Jeff Bezos gets richer by the second. Workers are standing up against this exploitation—you can too. Sign the petition and demand dignity now! ✊ action.wemove.eu/sign/2024-12...

I have a feeling that “evidence based” will not be a guiding principle the next four years.

No, Georgia is not an EU-member and even if it were it would not be binding because the organization of elections are a national matter. It could theoretically have consequences for its EU candidate membership.
