"En skänk från ovan"? Ryssland har bearbetat Trump i 40 år och kampanjat för honom under hela hans tid i politiken. Han är bokstavligen deras kandidat. Det är ingen slump, det är rysk strategi. Just nu får de mycket god lön för den mödan.

Which is why you can believe we will stop what we said we would not even start.

Unbelievable. DN has a mysig 3 page interview with Martin Kulldorff and just lets him run with antivaxx propaganda with "both sides" feel, even a quote from Stabell Benn. What a day to do it on, given they just got rid of newborn Hep B vaccination.

These 2,900 individual billionaires could lose 75% of their wealth and still be richer than 4 billion people.

Another outcome for which the Kremlin worked, lest we forget. Described in "Road to Unfreedom."
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

It’s not a bias. It’s a transaction. Tens of millions of Ukrainian lives and the remnants of American respectability in exchange for an increase in the private fortunes of a few people.

USA, åtminstone de som bestämmer, är med folkmördarna i Kreml. Det är ett rätt beskt piller att svälja, men så är det. Möjligen att någon manöver på det ekonomiska området kan rucka på det, men uppenbarligen inte några ideologiska, historiska eller moraliska skäl.

Trump is deeply emotionally disturbed, and it's been obvious during all his time in politics. He is simply uncapable of thinking of anything else than himself. He can't even fake compassion. How anyone could think he would be a good president, and also reelected him, is beyond me.
Continually amazed that someone who's been in public life as long as Trump has lacks the capacity to say anything appropriate when someone has died.
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.
