zelf een jurist of politicoloog raadplegen om anti-democratische omkoping te duiden is voor de NOS geen neutrale of objectieve journalistiek, liever gewoon ff snel verwijzen naar "commentatoren" en daarna alleen maar enthousiaste Trump-supporters aan het woord laten, da's gebalanceerd genoeg

He's now resorting to trying to buy the election.

Federal law makes it unlawful to knowingly and willfully pay, offer to pay, or accept payment for registering to vote or for voting. (52 U.S.C. §10307(c).) Any type of incentive is considered “payment.”

A new and yet unknown Ukrainian drone type has been used last night.

Looks like a small version of the F-117.

OK, small point here, but it’s almost certain he meant “parameters of a deal,” but he can’t spell and is very dumb, so he used “perimeters of a deal” and news orgs are just running with it like that’s a perfectly normal thing to say, which it absolutely is not. That’s not a thing anybody says.

Russia's anti-terror committee says the blast was caused by a bomb a woman tried to bring into the restaurant. The bomber, the guard who blocked her, and one guest died. 21 injured.

Judging from the multiple videos showing the extent of the fire the logistics center experienced catastrophic damage.

No one can ever believe anything Trump pledges, says or puts in writing. With Trump, a deal is never a deal and nobody can count on the US for anything while he’s president. His word is garbage, agreements mean nothing, and he lies about everything.

Er is te weinig woede over het feit dat de leider van dit land via het platform van een gore racist een slappe boodschap verstuurt over binnenlands, xenofoob terrorisme - wat hij tot 'vandalisme' reduceert. X is hét communicatiekanaal geworden vd NLse politiek en wij zeggen 'ok'. Make it make sense.

16-year-old Emely Charloth Suaza Chambo was taken by ICE on her way to church.

ICE told her dad Fernando Suaza Ortiz to come take her home or they’d send her out of state. When he showed up for his daughter they took him too.

Dit heeft een chef, een beeldredacteur en een eindredacteur gezien en niemand dacht: nee, we gaan niet op het graf pissen van twee onschuldige jongens.
Eerder dit jaar zijn twee tieners in Amsterdam doodgeschoten. Ze waren vluchteling. Dit weekend zijn ze een grap in de puzzel in Volkskrantmagazine. Met de suggestie, in foute antwoorden B, C en D, dat het criminelen waren. Arme kinderen.
