Hoe we ook kijken, D66 is de grote verliezer van de formatie. Ze een kwart of minder van hun programma in het akkoord. VVD en CDA doen het beter, afhankelijk van hoe je kijkt iets of veel beter. Het feit dat D66 de grootste partij was, lijkt hun onderhandelingspositie niet versterkt te hebben.

Er hebben geen 3 partijen aan de onderhandelingstafel gezeten, maar 4: Schiphol. CO2-heffing van tafel, Lelystad open, "initieel" 10.000 vliegbewegingen (dus veel meer), pas in 2030 hoeft de CO2-uitstoot gelijk zijn aan die van 2024 (dus tot die tijd veel meer), SAF (greenwashing, lost niets op). >>

Ik hoop dat Europese journalisten goed tot zich laten doordringen wat ze over zichzelf afroepen door extreem- en radicaal rechts te normaliseren tot “ook gewoon een mening”.
Ze menen het wanneer ze “saneer de media” en “tuig van de richel” zeggen over journalisten.

Russische mop.
An old Russian joke: a man walks up to a newsstand, looks at the front page, sheers and walks off. The next day he walks up to the newsstand, looks at the front page, sneers and walks off. The third day he walks up and the newsman asks “Hey, why don’t you ever buy a paper?” And the man replies “I'm just reading the obituaries.” The newsman shakes his head “But the obituaries are in the back!” The man looks at him shaking his head. “Not the one I'm looking for."

To be fair when it happened in Germany, my grandparents were probably also too busy correcting other people's historical comparisons to do anything about it.

European civil groups call for ditching U.S. fossil fuels imports, likening Trump to Putin.

“EU has shifted its energy dependence from one authoritarian regime to another.”

“EU leaders must now take a strong stand against Trump - just as they did towards Putin.”

docs.proton.me/doc?mode=ope...
Following Trump's strikes on Venezuela and his escalating threats to other Latin American countries and Greenland, over 120 European and international civil society groups sent a letter to EU leaders to urge them to cancel negotiation and implementation of the US-EU trade deal and reduce reliance on US fossil fuels in solidarity with those threatened by Trump's fossil-fueled imperialism. Signatories include Oil Change International, Centre for International Environmental Law, Greenpeace International, Urgewald, Friends of the Earth Europe and US, Conexiones Climáticas, European Trade Justice Coalition, and networks such as Pax Christi International and the EU-Lat network. The letter argues that every Euro spent on US fossil fuels, and every fossil fuel investment made by European companies and banks in the United States, fuels Trump's authoritarian agenda at home and his imperial ambitions abroad. Emphasizing that Europe prides itself on being a leader in upholding international law and democracy, and defending human rights and climate action the letter stresses that EU leaders must now take a strong stand against Trump - just as they did towards Putin. The signatories also highlight that Trump is using the threat of economically devastating tariffs to ensure the EU would agree to import $750 billion of US energy products over the next three years - a deal many analysts say would risk creating yet another dangerous dependency for Europe while also leading to the weakening or abandoning of crucial climate and human rights legislation in the EU. Increased reliance on expensive, highly polluting US fossil fuels will also worsen the climate crisis, and is expected to raise energy prices for EU households, up to one in four of whom are already unable to afford to adequately heat, cool, or light their homes.

Als Nederland overschakelt op duurzame energie stijgen de energiekosten 80% minder bij een nieuwe ‘Oekraïnecrisis’ dan in 2022. Dat blijkt uit een studie van TNO. Het energiesysteem is dan veel minder kwetsbaar voor plotselinge prijsstijgingen van olie, gas en kolen.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.

Day after a man was executed in Minneapolis, Il Douche is whining about halting progress on his Ballroom. I feel like Louise XVI would even be saying that's a bit much.

Trump: “I’m building, on top of everything else that I am doing, one of the greatest and most beautiful Ballrooms anywhere in the World, with more than 300 Million Dollars of Great American Patriots’ money, & working closely with, right from the beginning, the US Military and Secret Service”
I’m building, on top of everything else that I am doing, one of the greatest and most beautiful Ballrooms anywhere in the World, with more than 300 Million Dollars of Great American Patriots’ money, and working closely with, right from the beginning, the United States Military and Secret Service. This is a GIFT (ZERO taxpayer funding!) to the United States of America, of 300 to 400 Million Dollars (depending on the scope and quality of interior finishes!), for a desperately needed space, sought for over 150 years by previous Presidents and Administrations, so that the White House would no longer be forced to use a cheap and unsafe “tent,” for big and important STATE EVENTS, Dinners, Meetings, Conferences, and already scheduled future INAUGURATIONS (for safety, security, and capacity purposes!), on a very wet, and subject to weather, White House lawn. Making such a large gift to the U.S.A. was thought to be, by almost everyone, “A WONDERFUL THING TO DO” — But no, as usual, I got sued, this time by the Radical Left National (No!)Trust for Historic Preservation, a group that couldn’t care less about our Country! All of the Structural Steel, Windows, Doors, A.C./Heating Equipment, Marble, Stone, Precast Concrete, Bulletproof Windows and Glass, Anti-Drone Roofing, and much more, has been ordered (or is ready to be), and there is no practical or reasonable way to go back. IT IS TOO LATE! Why didn’t these obstructionists and troublemakers bring their baseless lawsuit much earlier? Congress never tried, or wanted, to stop the Ballroom Project! Everyone knew what was taking place at the White House — A great, big, beautiful gift to the United States of America! For those that are interested, the tiny East Wing was so “bastardized” and changed, built and rebuilt over the years, that it bore no resemblance or relationship to the original building . The so-called “preservationists,” who get their money from the most unusual of places, should not be allowed to stop this desperately needed addition to our GREAT White House, a place that a President has never needed permission to change or enhance, because of the special grounds on which it sits, no matter how big (and important!), that enhancement may be. Additionally, in this instance, it is being done with the design, consent, and approval of the highest levels of the United States Military and Secret Service. The mere bringing of this ridiculous lawsuit has already, unfortunately, exposed this heretofore Top Secret fact. Stoppage of construction, at this late date, when so much has already been ordered and done, would be devastating to the White House, our Country, and all concerned. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Antisemitische en racistische uitingen ‘kinderziektes’ noemen, extreemrechtse politici uitnodigen en banden met neo-nazi’s.

What's making me really livid right now is thinking back to the years of commentary lecturing us that the rise of MAGA was rooted in a sense of righteous victimization by overbearing liberal elites, and sneering at those who insisted that it was fundamentally about domination and sadism all along.

They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.
