There have been times things like this would lead to a call for impeachment. Now it seems it leads to "thumbs up"/"well done" reactions.

It should be an incredible bit, but by now we know it's a real possibility as are other sanctions like raising tariffs with 100% or worse......and than backing out of it again. The man is completely going wild and his entourage is not stopping him but inciting him in doing so.

And he will decide who is a member or a founder or a financial supporter of it, without ever showing a shred of evidence for it.

Als hij hem zou krijgen, met alles wat hij de afgelopen maanden heeft uitgevoerd, dan zou je deze prijs compleet devalueren voor alle mensen die hem ooit kregen of ooit gaan krijgen.

Wanna bet Trump, and his entourage, will claim it is organised by Antifa and therefore it's a terrorist action to be at that rally!?

The next question to this woman, should have been; "where is your proof for all these allegations you are making right now?"

Again somebody who is not into the news about the things going on in her own country. Wow.

If it would be a reliable study, you know done by real scientist, it would look at several things. But they will probably come up with exactly what he's saying here: "They use less Tylenol and have less autism, so there is a corralation".

De reactie van Frits Wester is natuurlijk niet kloppend; @voltnederland.org wil niet in discussie met #FvD over het klimaat, omdat die partij zegt dat er geen klimaatverandering is. @lauren.rotatingsandwiches.com was waarschijnlijk met een ander onderwerp wel in debat gegaan.

Over Volt en hun terechte weigering met complotdenkers en extreemrechtse influencers in debat te willen. Het normaliseren van extreemrechts is een groter kwaad dan het uitsluiten van leugenaars.

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

"the president of peace"????? Have they been following the news lately? Have they looked within the borders of their own country?

This situation with a ceasefire has been seen several times, but never worked out.

Patrick Vaanhold @vaanhold.bsky.social · 11h

Well he's true: it takes years and years for Republicans to come up with ideas. Trump promised a healthcare system that would be way better and way cheaper in 2 weeks......when he took office in 2017. We're still waiting.

Over here we joke about it. At Twitter and in the MAGA base, they completely believe him. And that's why he's in blue cities only, so MAGA can claim Democrats are lying. But when a red mayor would have to tell them there is no war, that would mean a loyalty problem to Trump.

Patrick Vaanhold @vaanhold.bsky.social · 11h

How is it that MAGA people keep believing all the crap Trump is telling them? There is no proof what so ever for all these things he's claiming. He's just trying to give his base the idea that there is a war. And that's the reason he's only onto blue cities, because red cities would expose him.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Jimmy Kimmel returns with unfinished business over Trump’s birthday letter to Epstein

Sorry, I do not agree on that one. Because it would devalue the prize to all recipients in passed and future and that's not what the Epstein files are worth.

Trump is obsessed with crime, both real and fictitious, and he wants us to get used to seeing the military on the streets in order to lay the groundwork to not accept the 2026 Congressional election results and use the Insurrection Act to ignore the will of the voters.

Daar heb je niet zoveel aan als het publiek dat kijkt, niet het electoraat is van Timmermans, maar van de andere drie. Die gaan straks 3 lijsttrekkers zien die "opkomen voor het volk" en die Timmermans wel eens even laten zien dat hij niet weet wat er allemala leeft bij "het volk".

John de Mol lijkt graag de Rupert Murdoch van de lage landen te willen worden met SBS als zijn FoxNews.

Patrick Vaanhold @vaanhold.bsky.social · 16h

Help me out here: who is the "Everybody" he is talking about? "Everybody" in the White House? "Everybody" at the Repulican representative sides? "Everybody" in the MAGA movement?

I'm pretty sure that any sane person is NOT talking about giving the peace prize to Trump. For pretty obvious reasons.

This is the US 2025 (I'm not sure if it is part of #project2025, but I guess it could well be); shooting pepperballs at unarmed people who are demonstrating the fact that the US government is doing illegal things. How low will they go? It feels like it's not at the bottom yet.
