Ich habe das Gefühl, dass Europa immer noch auf Anstand setzt u d das auch erwartet hat, während Trump, Vance & Co den geopolitischen Mittelfinger ausfahren. Dann ist die Empörung post-MSC groß, aber Trump hat in der Zeit der "Aufarbeitung" dieser Vance-Rede schon wieder 3 neue Fakten geschaffen

Seltsam, weiß er nicht, was das Wort bedeutet? Weder das eine (Vance-Rede) noch das andere (schlechter Stand der Demokratie) ist: ein Skandal. Naja, meine Meinung.

Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) talks about "at least five Inspectors General who were looking into Elon Musk‘s companies were fired by the Trump-Musk administration", mentions millions Musk makes from Government contracts on a daily basis

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) is the first member who doesn‘t bother with the witnesses but rants about Musk for 5min he gets: "He is leading a power grab", "his staffers, some teenagers, are unqualified and problematic"

Ranking member Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) needs to agree: Yes, fraud and waste bad, let‘s work together, improve the situation, but: "We can‘t pretend this is a normal hearing." She calls Musk‘s work "recklessly, illegally wrecking the federal bureaucracy"
comment in response to post
The problem Democrats are facing becomes apparent right away: Well, who likes waste and fraud… so what could possibly be wrong with DOGE and its mission? Of course the real issue here, dismantling a political system in a full-on assault of the federal bureaucracy, is not addressed here

It‘s not a time for political theater or partisan attacks, she says, and praises Trump and Elon Musk for their work.

Ist das nicht auch 1 der Probleme: Migration lang und breit debattieren, Gipfelhier Gipfelda, laberlaber, anstatt dass mal irgendwas passiert, das Integration nahe kommt?

Journalism and reporting still have such bad PR, how many films/shows have I watched where a newspaper guy turns up (without notepad/pen or recording device) and complicates the plot by being malicious / sensationalist for the sake of it?!?

Komische Debatte, werd ich nie kapieren. "Ich muss malochen, er nicht, weil krank, wird aber trotzdem bezahlt, ja dann: nein, alles Schmarotzer." … bist Du dann selbst mal krank bist, dann geht das Gejaule los

Zuckerberg said, this move had worked on X, to justify the step Meta is taking, as if X has not turned into a cesspool of rightwing misinformation and conspiracies
