Hungarian PM Viktor Orban being like “we allow zero migrants in without permission… for that we have to pay €1 million to the Brusselian [sic] budget daily,” and Trump is probably thinking “the Brazilian budget? I just gave Argentina €20 billion, I know what that’s like…”

Watching James Rubin testify in The Hague today in the trial of Hashim Thaci reminds me of how extraordinarily capable US diplomats and State Department employees used to be — no matter what you think of his/Clinton’s relationship with the KLA.

Geuzenbond leader Thomas D., arrested last week on terror and weapons charges, has been evicted from his Erp residence - the group's clubhouse. The second person who lived there has been named as *another* one of the three individuals we identified in our Feb 2024 @bellingcat.com article

Extreemrechtse Geuzenbonder Thomas D. en huisgenoot uit 'clubhuis' gezet
De 24-jarige Thomas D. die vorige week is opgepakt op verdenking van een terroristisch misdrijf, is uit zijn anti-kraakpand in Erp gezet. Ook zijn huisgenoot moet op zoek naar nieuwe woonruimte, zo laat de provincie Noord-Brabant weten. Waarschijnlijk gaat het om de 27-jarige Diederik H., wiens bedrijf op het adres staat ingeschreven, zo ontdekte Omroep Brabant. Ook hij is verbonden aan de extreemrechtse Geuzenbond. Opmerkelijk: H. zou in de periode dat hij de woning kreeg, stage gelopen hebben bij de provincie, tevens de eigenaar van het pand.

Geuzenbond has (finally) confirmed in a statement that their leader Thomas D. was the individual arrested on suspicion of preparing a terrorist offence and weapons charges last week (I’m not resharing here). The organization identifies him themselves as “Thomas”, for what it’s worth.
In the Netherlands, a 24-year-old man from Erp was arrested yesterday in Badhoevedorp, near Amsterdam, on suspicion of preparing a terrorist offense. The suspect is believed to be a member of Geuzenbond, a far-right group we wrote about last year @bellingcat.com

Man, I can’t remember the last time I went through someone’s mentions and ended up liking almost every response disagreeing with them
The left is completely silent on the subject of men getting laid - which, generally speaking, they are v.interested in doing and will continue to be interested in regardless of whether progressives want to talk about it. So the stage has been left entirely clear for the far-right.
