Læg mærke til dobbelttydigheden her, det blå-gule EU hul, det kommer der meget mere af senere, når de rigtig melder ud om krigen i Ukraine…og Putins fortræffeligheder (han vil blive fremstillet som et offer)

Trump's dictatorship is time for making moral choices

I talked to the top climate scientist, Penn's Michael Mann, about his great new book - and why he sacrificed a key university post in order to keep speaking the truth against anti-science lies

Jeg faldt over den her interessante artikel, fra den norske avis VG. Der har et interview med Jørgen Watne Frydnes, der er formand for Den Norske Nobelkomite. Som har åbent lidt op for processen med hvordan de finder en modtager, det er altså spændende læsning, og nej de lader sig ikke påvirke.

Nå er det avgjort

Fredag kl. 11 skal komitéleder Jørgen Watne Frydnes erklære navnet for resten av verden. Og skulle Donald Trump ringe, tar han ikke telefonen.

The brutal and repulsive content being out by the fascist regime isn’t just propaganda, it’s creating ready-made and easily-shareable materials for intimidation and stochastic terrorism.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

Nothing to see here, just Trump going for his second “yearly” checkup this year.

Anyone ready to admit that something is wrong with POTUS yet?

Ved i hvad det værste er ved sagen om genåbning af førtidspensioner, det er ikke Mette, der for anden gang vil slagte syge mennesker, ej heller Kaare med de blanke øjne og tynde overarme, som vil spille fandens karl…

Nej, det værste er at egocentriske danskere finder det i orden og stemmer på dem.

Et tip om hvad der sker under valgkampen… du vil møde mennesker, der forklarer deres valg af DF med at DF aldrig har været i en regering og at de derfor skal have chancen, da de ikke kan gøre værre end de gamle partier..

(Ja, naturligvis fra håndbogen ‘Hvad lærte vi om AfD under sidste valgkamp’)

Endnu en AfD copy/paste fra DF og da DR jo har sat ild i solcelledebatten, vil rigtig mange hoppe på den vogn…
