Een slechte, onuitvoerbare wet die niet wordt aangenomen... de PVV die zichzelf in de voet schiet... Senatoren die principes hebben... Waarom heeft iedereen het toch over 'drama' en 'fiasco'?

For those keeping track at home. The Iranians have now blockaded the Strait of Hormuz in response to the US blockading it because the Iranians had blockaded it, in response to the US attacking Iran to ensure that the Strait which was fully open at the time wasn't blockaded.

i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.

'Ah but you're cherry-picking excellent writers. Surely the average person benefits? I myself found it useful this one time' No. None of us benefit from dragging down the level of writing to some lowest common denominator. Have some self-respect. Be ambitious.

There is no reason to the virulent transphobia which is being "normalised" in the UK and elsewhere. Hateful, pathetic, individuals who claim their obsessive "gender critical" ideology is "protecting children", by denying children accessibility and causing harm.
