Weet inmiddels serieus niet meer wat ik erger vind SS-SA of ICE.
In een niet zo lang geleden verleden vocht de VS op 2 fronten tegen fascisme. Ze zijn nu een fascistische staat geworden.

VVD bezuinigde jaren op Justitie: €85 mln rechtsbijstand, €10 mln rechtersopleiding.
Gevolg: tekorten en achterstanden bij OM.
Nu wil diezelfde VVD procesafspraken afschaffen!
Het enige instrument dat het overbelaste OM helpt.
Heeft VVD concrete plannen om extra capaciteit te financieren?!

Dear @vonderleyen,
stop treating Washington like a fragile ally.
If the US uses tariffs to coerce Europe over Greenland, we respond where it hurts:
ASML. Defense supply chains. Market access.
No speeches.
Use the leverage.
Europe has it.

BREAKING: Trump threatens tariffs because Europeans deployed troops to Greenland.
Here's what he won't tell you:
Those troops are NATO ALLIES defending the Arctic against RUSSIA.
Not against the US. Against Russia.
