Die shutdown zal er moeten komen voor de Brussels politiek reageert. Ongelooflijk.
Eind dit jaar verliest het Brussels gewest ook de kredietlijn van 500 miljoen euro van ING.
"Dit is geen detail", benadrukt minister van Begroting Dirk De Smedt (Open VLD). Hij herhaalt dat het gewest een shutdown riskeert.

Dit is geen vredesverdrag. Het is van Oekraïne verwachten om te capituleren. Het is van Oekraïne verwachten grondgebied op te geven die Rusland 11 jaar niet kan veroveren. Trump handelt niet in het Westerse belang.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Trump’s creed praises the cruel and mocks the harmed. Power poses as virtue, truth bends to grievance. But every nation that worships domination learns: when cruelty is the compass, ruin is the map.

Dus ik zoek nog steeds een kamer voor het kind dat ik steun. Een nachtmerrie. Dat kind werkt, leert en spreekt 4 talen waaronder NL,FR. En heeft een budget. Ben ten einde raad. Ik ben OCMW en zei zeggen dat ze niks hebben ook geen tips en ja niks dus. Ik vraag of hij dan op straat moet leven… ja 1/4

This has never been about "law and order" for Donald Trump. Just a sick power trip.

Het grootste deel van de militaire begraafplaats is door zwarte Amerikanen aangelegd. Dat de panelen over hun rol zijn verwijderd, leidt tot groot ongenoegen.
