Het laat wel zien dat de gemiddelde persoon politiek analfabeet is, tientallen jaren stak Farage de schuld van elk probleem op de Europese Unie, en nu dat iedereen moet toegeven dat het niet zo was willen ze hem eerste minister maken.

If there is election fraud in Argentina in favour of Milei, there is no chance in hell the US will call it out, it's more likely they will be complicit.

Toevallig waren er vorige week zogenoemde anti-immigratie rellen in Nederland, en het waren niet figuren uit linkse partijen die het terrorisme noemde maar een betrokken VVD burgermeester.

Nee, vandalisme is geen terrorisme. Dat ze bij N-VA en MR doelbewust dat verschil willen ontkennen is de aard van het beestje, maar een nieuws redactie die deze stompzinnigheid verkondigd is wel beschamend.

One way of admitting that it never was support for Argentina to begin with.

Hey Argentinians, there is no amount of Trump coins that will compensate for electing a fool proudly boasting a MAGA leash.

I'm sure the majority here is cognizant of this but when you are in an environment where some share their bigotry and you ignore it, that makes you an active participant in normalising and enabling that behaviour.

Cowardice ain't a defense for hanging out in a neo-nazi pub.

Trump on Egypt: "They have very little crime. Because they don't play games. That's why. Like we do in the United States with governors that have no idea what they're doing."

Be careful celebrating this, outsourcing a kind of vigilante justice to prisons is something commonplace in Russia and used against political prisoners as well.

Moest ik een top 10 moeten maken van bezwaren tegen het VB stond dit er al vast niet in.

Wat wel een wederkerend fenomeen is bij de N-VA, hun afkeer van het VB is niet zozeer de inhoud maar de stijl van bepaalde kopstukken.

Een stijl die nota bene amper verschilt van Theo Francken.

Something similar goes for Hamas having a headquarters in Qatar, this happened at the encouragement of the Obama Administration because they wanted to isolate Syria who previously had good relations with Hamas.

They did the same with the Taliban, blaming Qatar for that is disingenuous.

This borders on lying by omission.
Yes Qatar funded Hamas but it happened in full coordination and approval of the Israeli government, a deal arranged by none other than Netanyahu.

As long as everyone keeps in mind that Netflix at a corporate level does not care about trans people, it made the calculation that alienating creators and audiences who do care about trans people would cost them more than appeasing rabid bigots.
