@CNN OK, there’s an issue that worries me, and I’d actually prefer it if no party could exploit it to their advantage – if it could be taken out of the current general election clamour. This is a matter for joint deliberations in Congress, even if it means the Democrats can finally have their say again. It is the war situation in the Middle East. I fear this matter is bigger than any of us would like it to be. I can’t simply pin the blame for this war on President Trump. It was the terrorist attack on Israel by Iran and its proxies (or just the proxies) that triggered it. And now we have an ‘all-out war’ that is really taking its toll economically everywhere. No decent person really likes this, but how should we deal with it now?

@CNN "Shunned at a Funeral", verdammt geile Rockmusik...

@CNNThe US isn’t there to make itself as insignificant as the other dictatorships. It must continue to stand for freedom and democracy in the world. The others had better take their cue from us (including Europe)!

@CNN It’s an unbelievable outrage what ICE actually gets up to. They’re simply trying to weed out potential left-wing voters – or at least as many of them as possible – or something like that to intimidate people so thoroughly that as few as possible dare to go to the polling station. After all, they’d have to show their faces there. Postal voting is set to be banned soon. This perfidious system could well have been devised by the KKK. What’s the best way to undermine my political rival and just reduce the number of his potential voters if my majority is declining? And all of this, apparently, completely legally. They call it border security. Who’s going to complain about that, right? Mind you, border security is important, but hunting people down within the country like that is at least questionable... Fuck MAGA's ICE! My opinion UB

@SandraNavidi Möchte bitte mal kurz auf dieses blöde (eigentlich Nazi Ton aus den Spät-Zwanzigern) Kommunismus-Gerede von Prs. Trump eingehen umd habe keine Lust das auf Englisch zu machen. Mit Verlaub. 1. es herrschen vielleicht wirklich schlimme soziale Verhältnisse und es sucht sich einfach einen Weg. Krankenhaustag ohne Versicherung über 2000 Dollar in den USA? Machst besser keine Kinder mehr.. Sozialismus ist für mich aber auch keine Alternative. Am Ende steht ein Überwachungsstaat den auch keiner will. 2. ich habe mich mit einer netten Bekannten unlängst über diese 3 -Gewaltenteilung (auch für unser GG) unterhalten und gemeint dies stammte aus den USA. Sie belehrte mich eines Besseren und verwies mich auf den französischen Politikphilosophen Montesquieu (1689-1755) der anscheinend die Judikative, das unabhängige Richtertum gefordert hat. Jedenfalls auf Wikipedia gibt's fast ne ganze Doktorarbeit über das Wirken von Montesquieu und er behandelt genau -(er selbst lebte ja noch in einer absoluten Monarchie- hatte aber als gutbetuchter Adliger Zeit und Geld sich über weitergehende Staatsformen gute Gedanken zu machen) -diese Notwendigkeit, in einer Demokratie auf gewisse ausgeglichene, freiheitliche Situationen zu achten. Es fallen dort Begriffe wie Diktatur, Gewaltherrschaft absolutistischer Natur und sage und schreibe "Pöbelstaat". Beides lehnt er als Zukunftsmodel ab und bevozugt Demokratie mit Gewaltenteilung, auf die man allerdings ständig aufpassen muss. Hat mich sehr beeindruckt. Wäre der richtige Lesestoff für einige Republikaner heute, denke ich. Waren schon früher einige Leute intelligent... Danke UB (hoffe alles kommt rüber)

@CNN May I dock with you, please? Make America great again... 250th Anniversary. Yes, America is great in many ways, and above all because it exists at all. People in Europe flocked across to the democracy founded by George Washington and others, seeking a new life for themselves and their families. But the continent was, of course, not uninhabited. As the indigenous peoples were proud and put up resistance against the new immigrants, this led to many small wars with numerous casualties and many broken treaties. That was certainly no laughing matter. However, as more and more Europeans arrived and the influx simply did not stop, the indigenous peoples ultimately stood no chance. Diseases unknown to them only made matters worse. In Europe, political systems (mostly monarchies) collapsed due to the loss of key figures, and in some cases dictatorships emerged, such as Mussolini’s in Italy and Hitler’s in Germany. Germany had the most ‘Americans’ and also the worst dictatorship (the Holocaust). So, in the southern United States, the landowners had no desire to work themselves and simply bought slaves who had been abducted from Africa. The Indigenous peoples were pushed further and further west and, thanks to their horses on the prairie, were able to put up some successful resistance. This then led to the Treaty of Laramie in 1868, under which the Black Hills were granted to the tribes. Then gold was discovered there and the gold prospectors arrived. Instead of stopping these people, troops were sent to ‘protect’ them from the ‘evil’ Indigenous people. The Indigenous people were then told to move to a reservation. This situation somehow reminds me of 1921, Greenwood and Tulsa. Another disgrace – a massive betrayal by the government and authorities against the Black population living there. It wasn’t until 1964–1968 that full human recognition was granted by law. – So not all Indigenous people went to the reservation, some wanted to keep fighting. Little Bighorn in 1876, then flight. As the government had apparently decided to exterminate the bison – the main source of food for the Lakota and the other Plains tribes – and I mean exterminate – the fugitives were forced to surrender because they could no longer feed their families. Crazy Horse was murdered immediately, and Sitting Bull a few days before Wounded Knee, where large numbers of troops had already been gathered as a precaution.

@CNN Well, just in case.. Yeah, 6 January was a cosy Hollywood spectacle. The Vikings just stormed the Capitol, beat up all the police officers, threatened the politicians with death and smashed up a load of furniture. What a joy to watch. Did anyone else see it, live, apart from me? Later, some of the worst freedom fighters were arrested and sentenced to prison terms. This turned them into hostages of the Democratic Party. Of course, now that these poor people have been pardoned by President Trump, they’ll naturally have to be given a fair share of compensation ( taxpayers’ money..?) as well, won’t they? Grifters, these events will certainly not be forgotten. There’s no point in you even trying... To this day, I still don’t quite understand why the Democrats didn’t put up a proper fight back then (2024). Today’s events gives me a bit of an idea as to why national unity was prioritised? Be that as it may, watch out, they’ll pull the rug out from under your democracy if you’re not always on your guard... very fresh bananas,..UB

@CNN When I hear Epstein Sex-Island, I always think of poor Bill Clinton, who almost lost his second term in disgrace because Monica forgot to take her dress to the cleaners on time... I don't say I've got the truth, just being thinking...

@CNN The billionaire is once again calling on X to vote for the AfD. The reason for this is an agreement between several Cologne parties not to make migrants and refugees scapegoats in the election campaign. Elon Musk has once again promoted the AfD on X. The Tesla CEO responded to a post by the right-wing populist account "WallStreetMav" about the Cologne local elections on September 14, writing: "Either Germany votes for the AfD or it's the end of Germany."
