Ich bin hin- und hergerissen zwischen Erleichterung (kann nur besser sein als Merz' eigene Ideen) und solchem Zorn (hauptsächlich auf Medien und dämliche Wähler).

"Being nice is all about how you wish to be viewed, whereas being kind means doing what is right – never mind the optics."
A really good viewpoint.

Nein, die Niederlande haben kein Verbot der Antifa erlassen. Das war ein Antrag (motie), dass sich die Regierung damit beschäftigen soll. Was sie aber nicht tun wird, da - wie MP Schoof erklärte - in NL so ein Verbot nur durch ein Gericht erfolgen kann. Außerdem sind in ein paar Wochen Wahlen.

Yeah, for me that was actually out of character, that data would say such a mean thing to her. Could have said "He would not have wanted you to seek revenge"...

“I see promise, I see action,” he said. “I see tangible output. But not enough.”
I am all for optimism and hope, but I think it is dangerous re climate change as most already pretend that it either doesn't exist or will not affect them or the value the perceiced short term €€€ as more important.

If the greens (or linke) follow the stupid playbook of adopting "centrist" (rightwing/conservative/neoliberal) positions we'll continue this catastrophic slip further towards extreme right. The Center has already moved too much in this direction. Media is killing democracy one step (lie) at a time.

Very strange take. Look what going "center" or pragmatic (realo) has done to the SPD. This article completely ignores how the loss of votes in the last election was achieved by propaganda and media campaigns. Truth (facts) doesn't count anymore. Elections are won with fear and hate.

Very good article! I had some similar thoughts, that the deal was not as bad for the EU as most Media made it sound.

BLOG: Nonsense. EU officials are far cleverer than Trump. They are playing him, knowing falls for flattery. The recently concluded EU-US trade deal has been touted as a win for Trump, but it is a US own goal. Here is why: www.jandehn.com/post/the-us-...
The US-EU trade deal
The US-EU trade deal has been touted as a Trump win. It is not. In fact, it is a big US own goal and here is why.

Aha. This is again one of those opinion pieces with absolutely no new information, just personal view.
Regarding the claims of humiliation and a bad deal, there is a saying in German: "Abgerechnet wird am Schluss."
There might good reason to just ein time for now.

I discovered TOS through a rerun, no one in my family likes it at all.
To make up for all this negativity towards scifi, I introduced my then boyfriend/now husband to Trek, even put him in uniform and dragged him to his first convention - my personal success story 🖖
