Perhaps a consolation - us Europeans are suffering the same - so at least the US is not being ‘raped and pillaged’ right now… :-)

What nonsense. A judge has ruled - a verdict was reached - an appeal has been lodged.
Sarkozy was tried and sentenced - now LePen. If a law is wrong - Parliament can change it - but as long as it stands, courts should uphold it.

Believe Iran invaded Irak in the early eighties -
of course after having been invaded by Irak a few years before?

The US higher education institutions form an enormous asset and are magnet to top talent everywhere. The new doctrine that ‘truth’ is what your leader says it is - kills research and other, more free countries are offering better alternatives.

Being Dutch - I can confirm - subtlety is not our main forte….

What we just found out is that they are silly/callous enough to write it down. We Europeans need to start fending for ourselves - although we hope that the MAGA sentiment on Europeans is not shared
by the majority of Americans, because we will never forget would you did for us in 14-18 and 41-45.

“We need to be clear who the agressor is here - that is Hamas”
How on earth could it then be unclear that Russia is the agressor vs Ukraine??

It seems quite coincidental that this differentiation almost always veers one way in case of XX and the other in case of XY, don’t you think?

I have never found it particularly pleasurable to fly into the US (once in - always been great, mind you) - but indeed the experience is unlikely to improve given what’s going on..

Generally speaking - determined by chromosomes and not by what you feel.

My comment related to the ‘Narcissist’ epithet - not so much an Olympic athlete. But - I would assume Rowling would consider a biological male competing against biological women unfair to the women.

JK Rowling has consistently come out in support of women’s rights where they would come under pressure from introducing new trans’ rights. I am not at all sure how that would qualify as narcissist.

But how has Trump’s wealth evolved??

Playing nice has ended I think - Trump supports his secretaries over Musk - won’t be long till Musk claims DOGE victory and starts focussing on new distractions to keep himself entertained.

Try to show some humility - accept some responsibility - and start working to form a broader consensus on how America wants to be seen and want to act in the world

Exactly! Which also stems me a little hopeful, given that Vance seems to lack the ‘performative’…
A weird speech that ignored the question on everyone's mind - how will Trump end the war in Ukraine?

Suggest also to rage against the ‘Lefts’ abdication of the ‘sensible middle ground’ - that has lost it so many votes

I would:
- spend time on a vision for your country
- develop policy framework and test it with the electorate
Neither Democrats nor traditional Republicans will be in the spotlight for a while, so don’t waste energy lamenting that the new administration tries to do what it thinks the voters asked
