Geert Wilders vliegt weer eens uit de bocht

Of hij is volledig verkeerd geïnformeerd (en checkt duidelijk zijn bronnen niet), of hij verspreidt doelbewust IN DE 2DE KAMER(!!) desinformatie.

Ik weet niet wat erger is....

While arriving in Alaska, Sergei Lavrov made it unmistakably clear through powerful symbolism what Russia's true intentions are regarding the war in Ukraine: Russia seeks a return to the former Soviet Union (CCCP) borders as they existed during the Cold War era.

Exactly. As an EU citizen it's not up to US and that's how democracy should work.
So listen to the UK citizens and we see currently 56% are against Brexit and regret leaving the EU.
32% still agree and a small portion is undecided.

De PVV is er niet voor de minderbedeelden zoals Henk en Ingrid.

Wilders PVV stemt heel anders dan zijn soundbites doen geloven!
May 23, 2025 at 9:15 AM
Ooh, maar als je naar zijn soundbites luistert, en dat is vaak het enige "nieuws" dat PVV stemmers consumeren, dan kun je niet anders dan hem gelijk geven.

Maar Wilders stemt in de 2de kamer meestal tegen zijn eigen slogans, en handelt dus tegengesteld.

Zijn stemgedrag volgen de stemmers niet.

De PVV is er NIET voor de minder bedeelde Nederlanders zoals "Henk en Ingrid".

De PVV is er slechts voor Wilders.

According to Trump:

"Nobody knows the military better than I do. Better even, than the generals"

➡️ So the concept of stealth must be very clear to him.
But is it ⁉️

Dermatologen trekken aan de alarmbel:

➡️ ‘Een aantal tieners gelooft dus eerder wat er op TikTok komt dan wat een arts zegt’.

De een promoot ‘het opbouwen van zonnetolerantie’:

“Als wij niet tegen de zon hadden gekund, hadden we wel een ingebouwde zonnefilter gekregen."

Warren Buffett slams Trump’s tariffs:

➡️ ‘Trade should not be a weapon’.

Buffett didn’t mention the president by name, but the target of his criticism was clear.

“There’s no question that trade, trade can be an act of war,” Buffett said.

The wannabe pope announced he wants to be a wannabe Macron as well and have a parade the 14th of June, to mark the US Army's 250th anniversary, the same day as Trump's birthday

Nobody knows more about wannabees than I do, maybe in the history of the world"

I follow (back) based on content and what people have to say.

If you haven't posted anything on your account, don't expect me to follow you back—let alone respond to generic openers like "How's it going?"
