Indeed, exactly this. They are, just like the nazis did, using the small window of opportunity (where most folks still don’t realise what’s going on) to disable the basic checks and balances our modern system of governance provides.
However, as most of us in the West have such little understanding of how it would be to live under autocratic or even fascist rule, it’s just hard to grasp that we’re mere months away from precisely that happening.
I get where Grue is coming from.
Which sort of sums this whole regime's work up, doesn't it?
Don't call it an 'administration', that normalises the situation. There's a regime that installed itself via a coup, disguised as a 'normal' presidential election that was 'won'.
Bernie is what we in Europe would call in the 1980s a social democrat. Definitely the sort of politician you'd like to have if you're trying to keep the fabric of your society in one piece.
With hate high on the menu these days, I'm pretty sure that when given a real chance in 2015, he would have beaten Donold.
It would be hilarious to see this regime shooting itself in both feet before shooting itself in the head, if this weren't some route to a full-blown 'eMerGENcy' which they can then use to deactivate democracy all together.
In Germany they actually did try hydrogen trains. And some of the might still be running. But they decided a few years back that it's just that; a wet dream. And they will no longer invest in them, it just doesn't make sense.
Every. Accusation. Is. An. Admission.
Well, except their own.
Ah, hydrogen. The wet dream of the fossil fuel industry. I'd say, good riddance and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Ah.
Yeah, was wondering about that. I’ve just installed it for the first time and while it looks OK, i’m wondering what the catch is.
Any privacy or security holes that one might to be aware of?
The Netherlands would like to have a word with the Ford administration, if we pulled bike lanes in cities, the ensuing traffic chaos would be epic.
Not Just Bikes made an excellent video about this bullshit, I'm sure it's been shared before, but for completeness’s sake here it is:
You can always expect Trump to say the quiet part out loud, the US justice system has always only really favoured the extreme rich.
Pretty sure the staggering amount of people who voted for Trump have never heard of P2025 before the election, as FoxNews pretty much never spoke about it.
Until after the election; https://www.foxnews.com/politics/heritage-president-project-2025-liberals-doge-takes-ax-bureaucracy
She rose to national fame riding on John McCain's coattails ofcourse.
And this is only the first quarter, when all the DOGE bullshit was still new. I can't wait to see what Q2 is going to bring, sales drop wise. :-) This mofo deserves all the bad news that's coming to him, I truly hope the bottom falls out of his debt ridden house of cards.
Lol, folks don't 'need' SUVs. When I was in NYC 2 years back, after not having been there for a few years, I couldn't believe my eyes. The number of sheer gardensheds on wheels is hilarious. SUVs and 'trucks' are an American car manufacturers invention that have little to no basis in real world needs. All of you have been told you need it. That's something different.
The saga of Sarah Palin is a perfect example why you should NEVER, EVER, as a 'normal' politician, associate yourself with fascist/populist politicians.
Personally, being from Europe, I'm not sure why we would need a pickup truck. I get it, insane tax reasons somehow are making those monstrosities quite popular in the Netherlands for example, but you never see the beds used.
I’ve been running Tradfri lamps from IKEA for over 5 years now with little issue. But I have them always somewhat dimmed. Not sure if that would make a difference.
Insane growth of renewable energy in the Netherlands
Visualised growth of renewable energy between 2016 and 2024. It can be done, just keep on building and keep ignoring the fossil energy companies. Who don't understand energy at all.
