Professional worrier in a perpetual reading slump.
A question for my US friends: are you working on a Project 2025 like plan for restoring the country? (Abolishing the electoral college and Citizens United, fixing healthcare, education and the fairness doctrine, establishing a congressional inquiry into abuse of power and corruption etc.)

I propose from now on we call it the Trump-Dunning-Kruger effect.

Bij deze alvast de verkiezingsuitslag: PVV, FVD, VVD, BBB, JA21 en SGP halen samen een meerderheid van 76 zetels, wat na 2 jaar formeren leidt tot kabinet Schoof 2.

I think the only thing we can do to get out of this mess is take full responsibility as Europe. Thank T for his 'services' and tell him not to worry about it anymore; this is now our problem. We will pay all the bills and even buy some US weapons. The only thing T has to do is: get out of the way.

Thoughts ahead of Trump’s meeting with Zelenskyy & European leaders. First, Trump wants both sides to stop fighting, but is only prepared to put pressure on Ukraine. If Putin had any worries on that score, the Alaska summit will have reassured him. Sanctions are postponed, again. 1/16

I would like to nominate the Ukrainian people for the Nobel Peace Prize.

While Russia commits war crimes on an industrial scale, the Ukranians consistently refuse to attack civilians, limiting themselves to military targets and Russia's arms and oil industry.

Both my wife and i regularly mix up our daughter's name and our dog's name, but fortunately neither seems to take offense.

De redenering is: "Douwe Bob weigerde op te treden voor Joodse kinderen en is dus een antisemiet."

Maar hij zou juist wél voor ze gaan optreden en zag er pas op het laatste moment vanaf.

Remembering today the brave souls who stormed the beaches of Normandy and parachuted behind enemy lines to defeat the hateful tyranny of Nazi Germany on June 6, 1944. More than 4,400 were killed and more than 10,000 were wounded. Imagine what history would look like without their sacrifice.

The biggest problem democracies face today is the rise of anti-democratic parties. Apparently large groups of people don't feel represented by traditional parties. How can we win them back for democracy without trying to imitate anti-democratic politicians?

In five years everybody who now owns a smartphone will have an AI companion integrated in their glasses or earbuds, with whom they will be in constant communication. Emotional relationships with other humans 'to whom one has to explain everything' will be uninteresting. Next: Neuralink integration.

Every sale Trump ever made was a rip-off: from selling real estate to MAGA-merchandise to the $TRUMP-coin. So for him every sale is a rip-off. That's why he thinks a country with a trade surplus with the US is ripping America off and is 'cheating'.

Is it just me, or do Gay Valimont and Marine Le Pen look alike?

They also both like to wear blue.
