Trumps Drohungen können nicht mehr schöngeredet werden - Kommentar von @fabianfellmann.bsky.social www.tagesanzeiger.ch/eklat-im-ova...

VP JD Vance does not understand Europe at all. Politico: One longtime Vance adviser told Playbook that (…) “He made an intellectual case in both of his speeches this week and extended an olive branch to Europe for them to stand with us on issues like AI and free speech.“ www.politico.com/playbook

Must watch. Simply extraordinary: “In nearly twenty years as a journalist, this was one of the most extraordinary moments I have witnessed.” - Clarissa Ward, for @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2024/12/11/w...

Priceless face. #stateoftheunion

Solche Memes wären lustig, wenn nicht so viel auf dem Spiel stünde. Reaktion auf mein Interview mit @ambjohnbolton «Wenn Donald Trump gewählt wird, ist die Nato hirntot» https://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/gewinnt-trump-ist-die-nato-hirntot-sagt-ex-berater-john-bolton-605783255591

Most valuable commodity past #CPAC security for Donald Trump today: coffee. (Didn‘t dare ask whether there was espresso.) Trump is expected at 1pm. No drinks, no food after security. Just water. No bread.

Quote of the day 👇 "Taking the nomination away from Biden is like taking the car keys away from your parents." An anonymous former Biden aide describing Democrats' dilemma according to @axios.com https://www.axios.com/2024/02/09/biden-defends-memory-2024-election

LEX, „Recht“, steht auf der Tafel dieser Statue vor dem Eingang zum Supreme Court der USA in Washington. „Justice“, Gerechtigkeit, sitzt auf der andern Seite des Eingangs. Heute hält der Supreme Court Anhörungen ab, ob Donald Trump in Colorado auf den Wahlzetteln stehen darf.

The big replacement theory is now officially being promoted by Elon Musk. Never mind any facts, i.e. that deportation numbers are higher under Biden than ever before. This guy is the real threat to a free society.

2 Grad kalt war das Bürofenster am Mittwochmorgen. Es war ziemlich vereist - innen. Unser Haus ist von 1873, wie viele im Quartier Capitol Hill. Unsere (historischen) Holzfenster sind einfach verglast und mit Bronzedichtungen eingefasst.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children against deadly childhood diseases. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda

Leergefegt sind die Strassen von Washington DC heute Morgen. Die Schulen sind geschlossen, die öffentliche Verwaltung macht Home Office. Wegen 10 cm Schneefall. 😂 Ist ja wie Züri, hoi

On the day Donald Trump won the Iowa caucus, an icy storm tore an American flag at the monument dedicated to George Washington. Washington voluntarily gave up great power when he resigned as General of the Continental Army after the Revolutionary War.

Winter has finally arrived in Washington DC.

US media are doing it again. NYT says Trump leads Biden 46 to 44%. Margin of error: +/- 3.5%. Meaning: Trump‘s support is likely between 42,5 and 49,5%, Biden’s between 40,5 and 47,5%. So: The race is tied. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/19/us/politics/biden-israel-gaza-poll.html

George Santos spektakulär aus dem US-Kongress geworfen www.tagesanzeiger.ch/usa-george-s...

George Santos ist aus dem Kongress ausgeschlossen.

George Santos fliegt gerade aus dem Kongress – die Abstimmung läuft noch, aber es sind schon mehr als 300 Stimmen für seinen Ausschluss eingegangen, nötig sind 290. www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/usa-...

A tweet I posted yesterday about Biden and Kissinger allegedly has 2.1 million views. And it's not affecting the follower count whatsoever.

It’s the day of the George Santos expulsion vote, and signs are mixed. Speaker Johnson, Steve Scalise, and various Freedom Caucus members say they’re voting no. Other Rs are still eager to oust him. Leadership isn’t whipping votes. Expelling Santos seems possible but far from certain.

Mit diesem Fragebogen wählt Trump die Getreuen aus, mit denen er Washington für eine zweite Amtszeit besetzen will. Holzschnittartiger gehts nicht, es wäre zum Lachen, wenns nicht so ernst wäre. reported by @axios.com www.documentcloud.org/documents/24...
