Since there are people who do not know left from right, she meant the one without beard.

Well...there goes the "Intelligence" part of the names of the organisations. Fortunately, some of the initials can stay the same, like CIA can stand for Central Idiot Agency. NSA can be National Sycophants Agency.

One guy stopped all of them? 1. Single. Uno. And not even a huge muscular impressive guy. Seems like a 100 people will be enough then to take over the 300 million USA whimps.

Ah, if half the US population pays 10.000 less each in taxes, it is about 1.5 trillion dollars less money for Trump. This is an interesting article about collected US tax.

Stop that useless shit. Money is the only thing they understand. Stop paying taxes. Take your money out of the banks. Stop paying them.

Silicon Valley and every company manufacturing computers in the world cannot function without computer chips made by ASML in The Netherlands. 😀 So by his logic should The Netherlands take over? 😀

Yes it is. Ever heard of "foreign relations"? This is a global problem. There is a whole world outside the borders of the USA and it is negatively influenced by the mess in the USA. Everything is connected with everything else.

Fortunately I am from The Netherlands and we can "aannemen" as much as we like because the other party just corrects us and we say "Okay (insert corrected pronoun of choice.), etc..." and we continue the normal conversation.

I am from The Netherlands and even we (technically minded people anyway) over here find something needing that much water IN TEXAS OF ALL PLACES a very dumb idea. Very likely he will try Death Valley if it fails in Texas? 🤣

...van je eed of belofte zorgt voor het verlies van vertrouwen en de gevolgen daarvan zijn afhankelijk van wat de tegenpartij daarmee doet. Het probleem met politici en het breken van hun beloftes is dat het de tegenpartij, het volk, de kiezers niet genoeg boeit dat het vertrouwen geschaad is.

Heel vroeger zweerde je op je leven en dan kostte het ook je leven. Tegenwoordig denk ik dat het niet uitmaakt of the zweert bij God, Allah, de grondwet, op het leven, etc... Het feit dat je überhaupt iets zweert of een belofte doet zorgt voor een conditionele vertrouwensband. Het breken van...

Lijkt me niet meer dan normaal dat je zweert op het belangrijkste in je leven. Als je zweert op iets waar je niet in gelooft dan is het geen eed.
Als je zweert op iets waar helemaal geen gevolgen voor zijn als je de eed breekt dan slaat het ook nergens op. Hoe werkt het als men niet gelovig is?

Dan ken je Terry Pratchett niet maar heb je alleen zijn naam gehoord. 😀 Maar dat is ook al goed. 😀 Prettige jaarwisseling dalijk.

Oh, augustus 2023 ook meegedaan aan de spectaculaire "Good Omens: the Official (and Ineffable) Graphic Novel by The Terry Pratchett Estate" Kickstarter? Die komt komend jaar eindelijk bij de drukker terecht.

Geen Terry Pratchett boeken? 😳 verder wel leuke selectie.

His particular statement does not include factors alluding to race. And since at least almost half the country, the part that voted for Trump, seems to be mentally and intellectually challenged or just bad people he is not that wrong. However, the culprit is not race but poor education systems.

"Fortune 500 companies, burgeoning crypto firms and individual billionaires are committing and enabling presidential corruption when underwrite Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration."
Fixed it for you.

Wait, if the Republicans want to get rid of all the emigrants...does that not include Trumps wife, his kids, his Elon and Elons kids?

Good advice. Especially if you are not born Dutch. The Dutch kids do not need bike helmets because we learn how to ride a bike as soon as we have learned how to walk and just learn how to fall with a bike at a young age. Well...we used to anyway. Heck, also for current coddled Dutch kids then.

To be fair "Time person of the year" does not imply a good or a bad person but a person with the most impact. We can all agree that the evil demented orange autocratic had the most impact on the world for sure. History almost always has remembered infamous people better than saviours.

Wel gelijk op de eerste plaats van de lijst "Toepasselijke Nederlandse bedrijfsnamen".
Maar waarschijnlijk of hopelijk voor hun is het juist goed voor de klandizie.

Do not read The Shepherd's Crown until you have read everything else though. It is his Farewell book.

Not enough characters to type them all. But the ones with the biggest impact: Reaperman, Small Gods, The Shepherd's Crown and the non-Discworld book Nation.
Also check out Good Omens written by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

Fun fact: "Eric" is not a novel. It set a precedent as an Illustrated story with lots of drawing from Josh Kirby just like "The Last Hero" with lots of graphics from Paul Kidby. Google images: "Illustrated Eric"

Not enough characters so here is a screenshot with vital information concerning the first two books from my Reddit post about them. 😀 Funny, I was able to put the complete text in the Alt description.
