It took 2 months, but people are waking up and smelling the coffee - which, as an import commodity, could be tariffed 25% when the Clown in Chief feels like it.

That said, although his approval rating isn’t plummeting as fast as Tesla’s stock price, things are moving in the right direction.

Since Trump’s revolting treatment of Zelensky, I’ve seen people taking to the streets in London, LA, NYC and Vermont. This particular protest was held at the American consulate in Krakow, Poland.

Powerful sign, to say the least…

A Tale of Two Presidents...

Trump began his adult life dodging the draft for Vietnam. Someone else went in his place.

Zelensky’s legendary response when the US offered to evacuate him after Russia invaded his country: “I need ammunition. Not a ride”

Munich 1938 – France and Great Britain sell out Czechoslovakia. And the rest is history.

Riyadh 2025 – The United States sells out Ukraine. And the rest will be…

Oh well.

For over a thousand years, French and English have been disagreeing on everything ranging from the correct way to pronounce "croissant" to who actually won the Hundred Years' War—and yet somehow, they both agree that Elon Musk is an absolute wanker (or 'ouankeur', if you like).

Kennen jullie Van Kooten en de Bie’s alleenstaande voetbalvandaal nog? Dat was ik zojuist, met headphones op m’n knar, luisterend naar Rijnmond Sport, juichend op een verlaten treinstation in Katonah, NY, terwijl Feyenoord, pakweg 5000 km verderop, het grote Bayern Munchen met 3-0 naar huis stuurde❤️
