Groeit ICE in de VS uit tot een soort proto-SS achtige entiteit?
De functie is verschoven van grenscontrole naar binnenlandse dreigingsbestrijding, wat ‘dreiging’ is wordt steeds meer opgeschoven en de cultuur verschuift van wetten handhaven naar MAGA ideologie.

Het zal geen kwaadwillendheid zijn van Thomas, maar meer het wijdverbreide amateurisme in de media die alt-right narratieven ruim baan geven. Onder het mom van diversiteit van meningen of om te bewijzen dat media niet ‘links’ zijn. Wierd Duk is sowieso eerder een agitator dan journalist.

Dagelijks scholen en ziekenhuizen bombarderen, mensen in concentratiekampen duwen en dan omwille van ‘Pasen’ een weekend lang niet schieten. Zo gebruiken dictators religie.

They were not doing anything with any substance so it’s hard to see what exactly they would be ‘abandoning’.

How can @marcorubio.bsky.social say the US will stop pursuing something they were never doing in the first place (promote the chances of a credible peace)

Make that UBER slow learners. Off course Trump has no plan. Just like there was no Ukraine plan, no Gaza plan things he would change within a single stroke with his magic wand.

Just left X. Maybe start anew someday. Reason: I used to have thousands reads. Now it's just 10 or 20. I assume algorithms suppressing the visibility because I think Elon is an idiot (who doesn't?) and Trump a crime family grandpa. JD Vance talking about 'freedom of speech' in Europe is laughable.

Retirement Cosplay: The tariff war edition
@vonderleyen refers to offers predating Trump @cnn.com spins it as EU giving in to bullying, handing him optical win. We’re in a presidential LARP: pretending an 80-yo with 2-min attention span is a dealmaker, actively participating in a post-truth society

Trump is known to not read. So those big signatures — under executive orders — are not things he read or comprehends.
We’re handling Trump like a cosplay: pretending the 80-yo is a great dealmaker instead of an economic illiterate. People coming to his court to kiss the ring & beg for his mercy.

Trump “ready to talk”
@cnn.com reporter does not mention how to deal with an 80-yo economic illiterate with a 3 minute attention span.
Trump also thinks ownership lies with people who need to come to him to kiss the ring and beg for favours. We’re not in the MAGA-cult.

The big question as global stock selloffs point to another week of plunging markets in the US is how much pain President Donald Trump is prepared to inflict to test his tariff theories.

Een niet-reactie zal Trump uitleggen als zwakte, tit for tat als kracht. Hou wel ladder achter de hand, niet in 1 keer kruit verschieten. Eens over samen. Als dolfijnen in een shark tank kun je niet anders. In groepen zijn dolfijnen gevaarlijk voor haaien. Intelligenter, strategischer en sneller.

Mijn suggestie in dit draadje is waarschijnlijk wensdenken: dat de EU haar reactie op tarriffs koppelt aan manipulatieve verdienmodellen, onbelaste miljarden inkomsten en slechte moderatie door big tech. Te beginnen met heffing op digitale ads + escalatieladder als leverage

Could this be the right way to respond to Trump’s tariffs?
Instead of going all-in, Europe could use a smart escalation ladder: targeted, transparent, and designed to apply maximum pressure with minimum fallout.
A public escalation ladder preserves leverage. Every step warns what could be next.

Context on tax evasion. Big Tech earns billions from EU ads. Invoices run through Ireland, Luxembourg or Bermuda. EU branches pay “costs” to non-EU branches - for the use of 'software' or 'branding', artificially bringing profit to zero, though earning billions. Effective tax: 0-5%.

Zou dat betekenen dat de EU maar beter even niet kan 'terugslaan' met tarieven, om de markt dit te laten absorberen? Ik zou het goed vinden als de EU gericht zou reageren door tech moguls te raken en ook nog een soort retributie zijn voor onwil om iets te doen tegen disinfo
