Poland is on the frontline of Russian hybrid warfare. Instead of colluding with Russia Trump could speak out against it. He remains silent. Poland is a NATO alley ..
And we are supposed to believe he will come to the rescue when Ukraine is invaded again?

Dit is geen vredesverdrag. Het is van Oekraïne verwachten om te capituleren. Het is van Oekraïne verwachten grondgebied op te geven die Rusland 11 jaar niet kan veroveren. Trump handelt niet in het Westerse belang.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

If Congress will not pass a resolution condemning Trump’s unhinged calls for the imprisonment and execution of elected officials, they’re essentially giving him permission to keep pushing for political violence.

Trump’s creed praises the cruel and mocks the harmed. Power poses as virtue, truth bends to grievance. But every nation that worships domination learns: when cruelty is the compass, ruin is the map.

Dus ik zoek nog steeds een kamer voor het kind dat ik steun. Een nachtmerrie. Dat kind werkt, leert en spreekt 4 talen waaronder NL,FR. En heeft een budget. Ben ten einde raad. Ik ben OCMW en zei zeggen dat ze niks hebben ook geen tips en ja niks dus. Ik vraag of hij dan op straat moet leven… ja 1/4

The California National Guard was never yours to control.
Your takeover brought chaos to LA and diverted troops from firefighting, anti-drug trafficking, and public safety missions.
This has never been about "law and order" for Donald Trump. Just a sick power trip.

Het grootste deel van de militaire begraafplaats is door zwarte Amerikanen aangelegd. Dat de panelen over hun rol zijn verwijderd, leidt tot groot ongenoegen.

So according to Trump the 2021 covid economy Biden inherited from Trump is Biden’s fault. And the 2025 economy is also Biden’s fault. But Trump gets credit for the economy he inherited from Obama. Can we have a date when Republicans are going to take responsibility for anything?

Trump officials are planning to propose oil drilling off the California coast for the first time in decades, according to a draft map reviewed by The Post.
The move is sure to antagonize Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats in California.
