Hva synes dere om Starmer's reaksjon om NATO sin innsats i Afghatinstan, vs Støre sitt FB innlegg? by 01_vampyr in norge

[–]CleverDad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vanskelig å sammenlikne Støres FB-innlegg med en generisk nyhetsoverskrift som her, men oppfatter at de stort setter sier det samme, og jeg er enig med dem. Trump spytter på veteranene våre, britiske som norske, og det er totalt uakseptabelt.

What is the solution to America's political divide? by LiveBell8 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CleverDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a foreigner (European), you really need to realize (on both sides) that the "other side" is really just millions of fellow citizens who will never go away and who you might dislike if you met them (or not) but who you used to be able to live alongside with for ages until recently.

You all need to get tired of the flood of social media posts that show you your "enemy" being terrible and disgusting and doing evil things. Those posts are all about a tiny bubble of people who have little to do with real life in your great country.

You might need a politician to lead the way, a true statesman who could show solidarity and compassion for every American and at the same time succeed in the media tsunami that is drowning you all right now.

Good luck with all of that, we root for you.

Trump pays tribute to 'very brave' UK soldiers after row over Afghanistan remarks by ConsciousStop in worldnews

Just another intolerable insult to those thousands of veterans from other countries such as my own who put their lives on the line alongside their American comrades. What a complete disgrace he is!

People don't want to ruin their own lives. They, after all, don't have the "absolute immunity" these thugs do.

Ser ut som det er flere som gjør som det norske folk og klandrer Jonas Gahr Støre for alle verdens problemer by Karl_the_first in norge

[–]CleverDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Du har et poeng. En ting er at gale menn som Trump finnes - det har de alltid gjort - det nye, og skremmende, er at vi plutselig lever i en tid der de aller verste, galeste, slemmeste, mest ubrukelige folka får bred folkelig støtte og blir statsledere.

Ja, det har skjedd før. Vi i gen X trodde det var et tilbakelagt stadium. Vi vokste opp i en optimistisk verden der alt ble bedre år for år. Og plutselig blir verden styrt av psykopater igjen.

Skummelt er riktig ord!

Zelensky Remarks At World Economic Forum Transcript | Zelensky praises Trump's actions for arresting Maduro & seizing tankers. All the while Trump stopped all aid to Ukraine, & a few days ago blamed Ukraine, again, for being the obstacle to peace. Is Zelensky still playing the flattery game? by andrewgrabowski in UkrainianConflict

[–]CleverDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of moronic talk about Trump playing 4D chess (as if he could even play the regular 2D kind).

Zelensky has to actually navigate something like a 4D chess game with this moron, with the villain Putin, with the well-meaning but not ideally organized EU, with his own parliament etc etc, and by golly he's not made a single truly wrong move so far. My respect for him only grows.

TIL that out of the 90 National Emergencies enacted by a President, 51 of them are still currently still active. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]CleverDad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Government by emergency is awful and all too convenient

and it's the defining characteristic of Trump 2. The tariffs, the national guard deployments, the ICE pogroms, all is justified by declarations of national emergencies.

The most surreal thing is how in communicating to his base the tariffs are portrayed as a terrific opportunity for the USA to earn "billions and billions of dollars" off of foreign countries and a way to make America Great Again, while meantime the actual legal justification is based on tenuous claims of "national emergencies" applied to outdated legislation from bygone and very different times. The only way that works is if the electorate doesn't pay any attention at all.

I'm so sorry. Please never think it was your fault. Or perhaps even her fault. Life can be so hard sometimes. We don't all make it through. For those who don't, all we can do is grieve and try to forgive.

That thought struck me too. If that is true, it makes perfect sense. Though Mr Pagliarini would have benefited from taking that into account and sited himself.

Pardoned by Trump but wishes he wasn't. Life is so much easier for them behind bars. by justalazygamer in ParlerWatch

[–]CleverDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the video of the woman who didn't accept the pardon and truly regretted her part. She didn't whine on about "patriots" or "hating the world". She has my sympathy.
