Democrats don't seem to understand that judicial action will not do to get even a semblance of normality after Trump.
It will probably take a purge, conscriptionlists and expropriations.

Let me guess: Everyone is freaking out about the election result in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Sachsen-Anhalt but the left win in Berlin is seen as 'mèh'

They seemed to have given Trump a pacifier on his pet project, Greenland.
Maybe slightly smarter people around Trump realized that after losing all the bases in the Middle East, like Bahrain, and complicating logistics, it wasn't opportune to antagonize Europe too much to also lose access here.

In de TK wordt lacherig gedaan over 't feit dat Laurens Dassen AI als onderwerp benoemt waarover we ons zorgen moeten maken.
Het is weer zo'n moment waarin ik @laurensdassen.voltnederland.org wil bijvallen want 't zegt veel over deze TK. NL mag blij zijn met hem als kritisch en slim parlementariër.

Het treinverkeer raakte dinsdag ernstig ontregeld door sabotage aan het spoor. Dat gebeurde georganiseerd. Is er daarmee ook sprake van terrorisme?

The Trump camp is, again, trying to blame Zelensky for the Russian invasion in Ukraine.
