Groeit ICE in de VS uit tot een soort proto-SS achtige entiteit?
De functie is verschoven van grenscontrole naar binnenlandse dreigingsbestrijding, wat ‘dreiging’ is wordt steeds meer opgeschoven en de cultuur verschuift van wetten handhaven naar MAGA ideologie.

Dagelijks scholen en ziekenhuizen bombarderen, mensen in concentratiekampen duwen en dan omwille van ‘Pasen’ een weekend lang niet schieten. Zo gebruiken dictators religie.

How can @marcorubio.bsky.social say the US will stop pursuing something they were never doing in the first place (promote the chances of a credible peace)

Make that UBER slow learners. Off course Trump has no plan. Just like there was no Ukraine plan, no Gaza plan things he would change within a single stroke with his magic wand.

Just left X. Maybe start anew someday. Reason: I used to have thousands reads. Now it's just 10 or 20. I assume algorithms suppressing the visibility because I think Elon is an idiot (who doesn't?) and Trump a crime family grandpa. JD Vance talking about 'freedom of speech' in Europe is laughable.

Trump “ready to talk”
@cnn.com reporter does not mention how to deal with an 80-yo economic illiterate with a 3 minute attention span.
Trump also thinks ownership lies with people who need to come to him to kiss the ring and beg for favours. We’re not in the MAGA-cult.

The big question as global stock selloffs point to another week of plunging markets in the US is how much pain President Donald Trump is prepared to inflict to test his tariff theories.

Could this be the right way to respond to Trump’s tariffs?
Instead of going all-in, Europe could use a smart escalation ladder: targeted, transparent, and designed to apply maximum pressure with minimum fallout.
A public escalation ladder preserves leverage. Every step warns what could be next.

This is a travesty.
Trump shows journalists a gold card featuring his face: “For $5 million this could be yours”
He does this on the very day the market wipes out $2.6 trillion in value,while millions of Americans fear for their jobs amid a looming recession. So out of touch

Eventually Europe will discover the mega-continent on its doorstep called Africa. It has a rapidly growing middle class, with an insatiable demand for all kinds of goods and services. Eventually. But probably not yet.
Good piece!
The EU’s biggest economic issue right now is that its top trading partner is slamming the brakes on demand while building a tariff wall that adds to the overcapacity problem with its second biggest.
Europe could be staring into a gaping hole in global demand. on.ft.com/426COoI

Words matter @cnn.com It’s not a ‘dubious way’ tarriffs were calculated. They entire list was the biggest lie by a PotUS ever. It sets up US citizens against the outside world. Europe has avg 3-4% tarriffs, Trump calls it 39% and calls us ‘rapists and looters’ of the US.

Word has it the US asks 4% interest on past support. Those were gifts, never loans. Approved by bipartisan Congress. Who in the future will ever accept US help when it can retroactively be turned into a loan + interest. The US also seeks exclusive access to minerals. An #extortion by mobster Trump.
