@JGreenbergSez if you try to break an opponents ankle then you don't play the next game. those are the rules for everyone. any change to that rule should not be happening in the middle of the competition. Go Belgium!!!!
@Disp3034Yooper@HaterReport doens't matter. it is still cheating. it is still an unfair exception to a rule that no other team has enjoyed... and only because trump and infantino have colluded together (again)...

This is the thing about ignorants. When they learn about something that they have never heard of before, they think it is also new to everybody else. And then they start to lecture other more knowledgeable people about it.
The USA campaign to take over Greenland continues.
As a Danish and European politician, I am not accustomed to deliberate public falsehood as a political method. But it is probably something we will have to get used to.
Take, for example, Jeff Landryโs blatant falsehood that Donald Trump was the first major politician to truly place Greenland on the world map.
If we confine ourselves to this century alone, Colin Powell was co-signatory of the Igaliku Agreement in 2004 while serving as Secretary of State. John Negroponte, then Deputy Secretary of State, represented the United States when the Ilulissat Declaration was signed in 2008. John Kerry visited Greenland in 2016 while serving as Secretary of State. And Antony Blinken visited the island in 2021.
Greenland was also visited by Angela Merkel in 2007, when the purpose was to study climate change.
And the island has continuously received visits from American politicians who genuinely take an interest in Arctic affairs. The foremost among them is undoubtedly Lisa Murkowski.
So Greenland has long been on the world map - partly because of climate change, and partly because of the question of Arctic security. And Greenland has continuously been integrated into Arctic cooperation, not least as a consequence of the Igaliku Agreement.
There was a time when I read a great deal of Jรผrgen Habermas and believed that the norm of truth was an unbreakable norm among civilized people. I believed that, as Habermas put it, the better argument exercised a kind of โforceless force.โ
What we lack today is a new Habermas for the twenty-first century - someone capable of describing the performative role of the lie.
Because the reality is this: to someone who knows nothing about Greenland, Jeff Landryโs statements sound perfectly plausible. But they are simply a fabrication. A good story. Something designed to generate support without any ambition toward truth. Harry Frankfurt argued that this is the very essence of what he called โbullshit.โ
We no longer merely disagree about values. Increasingly, we disagree about reality itself.
Jeff Landry is part of the post-truth culture that permeates American politics. But it is also something we in Europe will increasingly have to adapt to, simply because of the influence the United States possesses.
It is difficult to say where this post-truth strategy will lead the Western world. But I will be honest: I have reached an age where I preferred the world shaped by the ideals of the Enlightenment - by truth as a moral norm and obligation.
That world is gone. Perhaps permanently. I understand that. But I cannot pretend to admire the replacement.
if the republicans lose the senate, will warsh ever get confirmed with Thom Tillis blocking it until the powell-investigation is shut down?
