What a gang of mindless amateurs in Washington accomplished in Beijing:
This cannot go on. Russia is making the EU look like fools.
“Het zou vreemd zijn als de regering over een internationaal probleem zou struikelen” zegt N-VA voorzitter Valerie Van Peel in Terzake. Ik herinner me vaag iets over Marrakesh. Was geen genocide.
It’s a mob thing.
BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defies President Trump by leading a "no troops in Chicago!"
Wat een beeld...

President Trump brags that D.C. is “NOW A CRIME FREE ZONE” after he sent in federal officers. Metropolitan Police crime stats suggest otherwise. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Ok, and what about the American ones it all started with ?
And Russian tourists are still welcome in the EU.

In minder dan een week tijd; * vuurt Rusland raketten af op een pand in Kyiv waar de EU een kantoor heeft; * vliegt het drones over wapenroutes in Duitsland; * verstoort het de GPS in Bulgarije zodat Von der Leyen niet kan landen...
Militairen zijn niet opgeleid om met drugshandel om te gaan, dat is hun job niet.
Als zelfs de solidariteit met zieke personen in vraag wordt gesteld dan is eigenlijk de gehele sociale zekerheid in gevaar, inclusief pensioenen.
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
Als het nog es lukt is het geen ongelukje meer.
Still remember Biden saying “ I’m a Zionist”. Foolish. Israel has a right to exist, not the right to kill innocent Palestinian civilians.
Mooi perspectief!
‘Demir pakt lerarentekort in volwassenenonderwijs aan’
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
Can’t blame them .
Zelenskyy is a fine candidate.
Sure, in the EU mental health is excellent, if you look at the gun related incidents. Except there are not more guns then people were I live.
Anarchy will follow. And that’s what Trump craves for.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
What a strange move. He’s acknowledging Trump’s slogan that crime is raging. This will backfire.
The move represents both a public-safety measure and a political rebuke of Trump's recent decisions to send National Guard troops to U.S. cities.
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.
CHAOS ERUPTS AT CDC CDC Director Susan Monarez has been ousted after RFK Jr. demanded she change her policy on the COVID vaccine. Top officials from the Vaccine Unit, Zoonotic Division, and the Chief Medical Officer are resigning, per reports. Horrifying news for public health.
More chaos will follow. It’s in the script.
Well, it’s clear now. Shots will be limited to old and sick people. NYT.
Restrictions now apply. NYT.
I was talking about the EU.
I don’t know. Good luck!
Ursula von der Leyen’s dash to Donald Trump’s golf resort in Scotland last month to seal an unbalanced trade deal has raised fears among politicians and analysts that Europe has lost the leverage that it once thought it had as a leading global trade power.
RFK does not intend it to be available, as I read on X. Might be wrong. In Europe there is no problem, shots with the updated vaccine will be distributed next month.
Trump: "Windmills -- we're just not gonna allow them. They are ruining are country."
Sure, Ukraine went to war against Russia. Bad calculation. I get it.
He’s still thinking Ukraine started the war …
They will get their act together and give the Nobel prize to Zelenskyy.
Looks like extortion to me?
Missouri has the highest murder rate in the country. Yet troops are all deployed in democratic run states. They re the hellholes. Sure. Whatever.
You may add Belgium.
Wie werkt er bij televisie en wil een nieuwsgierige, slimme VWO-scholiere een kijkje achter de schermen geven of misschien een korte snuffelstage aanbieden? Ze is vooral geïnteresseerd in regie 🙏❤️ #durftevragen
Toch blijft alles van waarde weerloos. Je krijgt geen schoonheid terug, alleen geld.
He wasn’t very happy? Really? He gave him a stage he hasn’t had for years. Trump’s in Putin’s pocket.
De VS heeft in stilte minister van Defensie Pete Hegseth de bevoegdheid gegeven om wederom Oekraïense langeafstandsaanvallen met Amerikaanse raketten in Rusland te verbieden, waarmee deze effectief worden geblokkeerd. Betaalt Europa nu voor raketten die niet mogen worden gebruikt? Bron: WSJ
Keep the military out of the cities, they don’t belong there. It should be obvious. Only democratic run cities are focused, although their crime rate is lower than republican ones. This is authoritarian behaviour.
“We needed food, yes. But not like this. Not at the cost of my father’s life. Not at the cost of our dignity.” interc.pt/4lLcTuT
Normally, the Department of Justice rewards witnesses for turning on co-defendants, co-conspiracists, and accomplices. Ghislaine Maxwell is probably the first witness rewarded for *absolving* them. Because she is part of a coverup, not a prosecution.
Possible. But Trump gets away with everything. 27 women accused him. My imagination can't grasp what could hurt him.
A picture is worth a thousand words👇
They are soulmates. That’s the point. Trump and Putin are linked, whether you like it or not. Reality bites.
You do not have to like John Bolton to see this for what it is.
Estonia invading Russia? How stupid do you have to be to buy this crap?
Newsom’s media team having fun 👇
Er is nu ook officieel sprake van een hongersnood in Gaza-Stad. Dat blijkt uit een nieuw rapport van het IPC, de internationale organisatie die verantwoordelijk is voor het monitoren van de honger van de wereld.
America is gone.
Go Newsom, love all the trolling, don’t stop!
Just wondering how long boos will be tolerated.
Democracy is dying in plain sight.
We trekken de verkeerde lessen uit het buitenland.
It will definitely make the country safer.
Soon, a cage fight in the WH casino surroundings. Stay tuned.
I like his “the Huns are coming” better, but in the US perhaps it makes sense, although I doubt knowledge of geography is a strong point of Trumpists.
An idea: let’s hold the next “peace” summit in Budapest.
We’re looking into the abyss. No way this will take four years to implode.
To my 10th grade English teacher, who said, “Make the conclusion count.”
Gov. Newsom trolling Donald is the political equivalent of popcorn for the soul.
The former Budapest treaty is the perfect example of Russia not complying. Sure, let’s try again. Orban will arrange it. Mind blowing idea. Trump to the core.
Harris is not a viable option. She fought, she lost and she’s a remnant of the past. Great capable woman, no doubt. With merit, but the sooner she makes clear she will not be running, the better. Or do democrats want a rerun of Biden’s tardy decision?
🇵🇱💯
Fictitious conspiracies are easier to pursue since there's no chance that reality will intervene apnews.com/article/trum...
Vergis ik me of is @demorgen.be helemaal gestopt met posten op bluesky ?
Poetin naar Kiev is ook een optie.
Well, he can’t scold them all, can he? Wait, I’m still not thinking in Trump’s universe terms ..
Not in my wildest dreams could I have imagined a Russian tank flying the American flag. We arrived at this point. 👇
The European Armada or rather desperate people. I choose the lather.
I can’t stand watching films or series about the American presidency anymore. Hurts to much.
Painful to watch.
You don’t have to like the guy but it least he’s taking a stand.
And Orban will join the choir.
Vladimir Putin has clearly made a calculation, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues: Donald Trump, to use the language he once hurled at Volodymyr Zelensky, has no cards, and his fond wish to be seen as a peacemaker can be safely ignored.
“.. there’s a lesson Trump still hasn’t learned: The Russian leader doesn’t really make deals — he takes. He takes what is offered to him, and then takes some more .. until stopped by force. That is the Russian art of the deal.” @kyivindependent.com kyivindependent.com/editorial-th...
Really?
Caption this image? #Alaska
Anyone expecting Putin to back down in Alaska? He already won just being there. This is a farce. And then a one on one? Tragedy for Ukraine in the making.

It will only get worse. There’s no stopping him.👇
It won’t make a difference and you guys know it. He’s bending over to please Putin and there is no change in this pattern however you look at it. Just propose another senseless deadline. The media will pick it up. We know the drill by now.
Besides the Epstein diversion, the deployment of troops to DC is to create two chilling possibilities. One, to invoke the insurrection act and put down any demonstrations as the country goes south. Two, to suspend elections and declare martial law if the country turns against him.
Your presidential system is wrecking your democracy at warp speed. And there’s nothing you can do to stop it. It was not designed for Trump and his acolytes. Unfortunately.
Still trying to please Trump. Keep going down that alley. You’ll get mugged.
