Just sent out this free piece. When the stories of the 28-point plan were first written, too many people went into overdrive to try and make excuses for Trump (He was not informed! He was not involved!). open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

When loyalty replaces expertise, you don’t get diplomacy; you get a Miami-made surrender plan that shocks allies, delights Putin, and proves Trump’s team can’t negotiate their way out of a salad.

Hell no!
Thanks, but no thanks. We don't want Amazon, Microsoft and Google to invest a trillion dollars in datacenters in Europe that will bring data of EU citizens within reach of Trump and will lock-in our digital dependence for decades to come.

We need to start building our own digital infrastructure.

Trump further alienating his voters.
Only 16% of Trump voters support Ukraine making territorial concessions to Russia and 72% are in favor of selling Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, according to a new poll by The Vandenberg Coalition.

72% of Trump voters also believe the US should help Ukraine and hold Russia accountable.

What? The press said in July 2024 - and ever since- that Pokrovsk was about to fall within days.
‼️🇺🇦🤜🇷🇺🤛 "Les forces russes sont bloquées dans le centre de Pokrovsk, n'ayant réalisé aucun gain significatif. Malgré la propagande affirmant le contraire, les combattants ukrainiens ont déjà évacué le centre-ville"

Een derde keer dit romp-ramp-kabinet laten vallen lijkt lijkt me een passend signaal.
Het is nóg erger dan autocratisch gedrag.

Wat Wiersma doet is uitvoeren plan waarvoor BBB door lobbyclub ReMarkable is opgericht: dienen van Big Agro door middel van bewust en onrechtmatig omzeilen van Europese richtlijnen, wensen kamer, rechtelijke uitspraken, algemeen belang én gezond verstand.
RTLNieuws over brandbrief @varkensinnood.bsky.social mbt stroomstoten bij varkens. Tegen Kamermeerderheid en Raad v State in lijkt Wiersma het verbod niet uit te voeren.
Zo boos over dat autocratisch gedrag van deze minister! Elke dag dat zij traineert betekent stress en pijn voor duizenden dieren.

People need to be more aware that Trump isn't the only fascist on Moscow's payroll. Russian society is thoroughly fascist, and its leaders are financing neo-Nazi parties in democracies around the world in an attempt to make fascism great again. Yet nobody seems to be doing anything to stop them.
