Kunnen gemeenten die wél helpen niet extra beloond worden. Een beloning bekostigd door weiger-gemeenten? Na Groningen springt Warffum bij om asielzoekers Ter Apel op te vangen /via @NOS https://t.co/ZajXaS5i29
BREAKING: Bruce Springsteen just announced that his band will be doing a tour in effort to fight back against Donald Trump's authoritarian overreach. The Boss is back!
These were the days when the world not only had respect for a U.S. president, they loved him as much as America did.
His representation of his country on the world stage was NEVER viewed as it is by a man now viewed as the global village idiot.
His name appears ZERO times in the Epstein files. He never needed to praise himself once, name a road or a building after him. He never sued the DOJ or filed malicious law suits against those who disagreed with or criticised him, because real men can take criticism.
He didn’t pretend to have a healthcare plan, he passed one into law. He never mocked disabled people or asked not to be seen with service members who had lost limbs in service of this nation, neither did he call those who fought and died for this nation ‘suckers and losers’
He won an ACTUAL Nobel Peace Prize and didn’t have to make up numbers for how many people attended his inauguration. He needed no monuments to his presidency because he had absolutely nothing to prove.
He served his nation with honour dignity and respect, the same respect he afforded America’s allies. He did not run an international extortion gang from the Oval Office and certainly didn’t send masked thugs into red state communities to brutalise them in order to instil fear.
He rebuilt a broken economy after the housing crash he faced in the year he was elected, handing off a growing economy when he left office in 2016.
He never stole money from low and middle income workers to hand tax cuts to the rich, while setting up a crypto bribe pipeline.
His speeches will go down in history as rhetorical masterpieces, with joined up coherent sentences and punctuation.
He never once felt the need to post an inflammatory vile and disgusting video about ANYONE, because he is a good and honest man, who remains to this day a beloved statesman and a man Donald J Trump will never be, even in a tan suit.

I am sickened by Trump.
But I am even more sickened by the fact that there are people who call themselves Christians and still defend him.
Follow Jesus. Not Trump.

‘In Amerika is zich aan het voltrekken wat wij kennen uit de geschiedenis van Mussolini en nazi-Duitsland. De context is heel verschillend maar het proces is precies hetzelfde.
Het proces kennen wij uit de jaren 20 en 30 en dit zien we pal voor je ogen herhalen en in een heel snel tempo.
Verkiezingen worden aangetast, de rechterlijke macht en media worden aangevallen, ICE wordt ingezet etc.. ICE is geen handhavings organisatie die wetten uitvoert, maar fungeert als een terreurorganisatie. De ontwrichting kan een legitimatie worden om verkiezingen buiten de orde te plaatsen’
As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. taught us, darkness cannot drive out darkness, and hate cannot drive out hate. Only light and love can do that. So today, let’s remember our responsibilities to march hand in hand, to stand peacefully with dignity and purpose in the ongoing fight for justice. To organize. To mobilize. To vote. To believe, no matter how far away the mountaintop might feel, it is in our capacity to change our communities and our country for the better.
Donald Trump will spend Christmas Eve with his billionaire friends at Mar-a-Lago on the taxpayers' dime.
Barack Obama spent his Christmas Eve as President surprising kids at a children's hospital. Don't forget what real leadership looks like.
Tricky tijden! Mooi en confronterend boek met o.a. dit indringend citaat: 'Pas als de laatste boom geveld is, de laatste rivier is vergiftigd en de laatste vis gevangen, dan pas zal de mens ontdekken dat geld niet eetbaar is'. Lukt het de mensheid tijdig te veranderen?
Trump has been signing Bibles again, as if he wrote it... and the signed copies sell for $1000. But we have the real Trump Bible now available on our website and you're gonna love it. And it's only $15 (but not autographed by Trump):

... of course all the parts about love and compassion have been removed.
Check it out --
KDV... King Donald Version.
All the Bible verses that talk about compassion and justice are redacted. Everything about welcoming the stranger, caring for widows and orphans, and loving enemies is gone. The 2000 verses that mention the poor and vulnerable are blacked out. There isn't much left. That's the point... thanks to my pal Rev. Robb Ryerse for curating this new "Bible" that shows how different the "Gospel of Trump" is from the Gospel of Christ. Let's follow Jesus... Not Trump.
(oh and by "appendages" I mean "appendixes" 🤣)
It used to be challenging to convince Christians that we cannot follow Jesus and Trump. But Trump is making it much easier… every day there are new vulgarities that should offend any person who loves Jesus.
This week, he is literally autographing BIBLES and selling them for $1,000 each.
If you’re not offended by the policies, rhetoric, and narcissism of Donald Trump… please grab a copy of the Bible and read it. There are over 2000 verses about how God cares for the vulnerable. It also talks about loving our enemies and giving all that we have to the poor.
Oh, and don’t ever pay $1,000 for a Bible… we’ll send you a copy for FREE… and we will make sure it doesn’t include the founding documents of America. Because that’s just absurd and heretical.
Erg goeie uitleg over de hardnekkigste fabel vh moment: dat woningnood zou komen door statushouders. 👇📢
Werkelijkheid: nee, het komt door meer éénpersoonshuishoudens, bezuinigingen op woningcorporaties en *arbeids*migratie. 💡
Maarten Keulemans lult Marlies Dekkers helemaal klem. Fatsoenlijk als hij is zal hij dit zelf nooit zo formuleren maar hij legt weer pijnlijk bloot hoe hypocriet wappies zijn en dat ze nooit zullen toegeven dat ze er naast zaten. 1/4
