  3. Is shocking that nothing has changed for these poor suffering people - the bombing continues Nothing or no one is safe from these monsters
  4. Last week
  5. And I think it’s tragic for anyone under 40 across the globe that the next US election is a vote between Biden and Trump. And tragic for anyone over 40 that hoped for a more progressive space by 2024.
  6. Respectfully, I didn’t say the democrats weren’t! Im Australian so have only been looking from the outside in (for a very long time). I also have quite a lot to say about how politics are run in Australia as well as many European parliaments. I would personally classify Democrats as a Conservative Party. Have always found it very odd that progressive policies are used against them by Republicans when that’s the last thing they represent. Yes, I very much will say that the Republican Party openly flirts with fascism and has done so increasingly for a couple of decades now. Party before people. Mitch McConnell is a (somewhat) living example. Sadly the Democrats have relied on being the lesser of two evils for too long. And to be quite frank, the bigger issue that Americans are faced with is that they seemingly only have two choices to vote for if they want to vote at all. Yet the establishment stills screams about the benefit of a two party system. Thats the insanity for me. How can only two parties benefit 300+ million people? Anyhow, I don’t mean to insult the American posters here.

      Waar stond je eigenlijk in Antwerpen...? Wij hadden een toffe groep mensen rond ons... Heel internationaal... Tussen hoofdpodium en catwalk... En dan de tweede avond in tribune 116 net achter de VIPS... 🙈

      Eerste avond stond ik vooraan rechts aan het hoofdpodium. Bleek een slechte keuze.. zagende hollander die 'via via' aan een goedkoop kaartje was geraakt Was wel eerste rij, maar geen ideale locatie. 


      2e avond was beter.. Recht tegenover jou blijkbaar! Als ik me niet vergis in cat 150.. tss hoofdpodium en catwalk.. goed zicht als ze OYH doet.. en ook achter de vip (Jan Jambon, Stijn vd voorde etc :p ze staan op enkele van mijn filmpjes.. zal het eens doorsturen, want volgens mij stonden er nog enkele 'bekenden' op die ik niet direct kan plaatsen). zat naast een typische early 80s oudere vrouwelijke fan (met haar man) Zij vonden het niet zo leuk als ik recht stond.. maar wel lieve mensen hoor.. voor hun het beste concert dat ze ooit gezien hadden, maar eigenlijk een redelijk saaie bende. denk dat onze categorie enkel tijdens de grote hits heeft rechtgestaan (behalve enkele 20-something vrouwelijke fans op de eerste rij die altijd rechtstonden..)

      Een andere ervaring was de 2e avond in Amsterdam.. einde v/d main catwalk, vol enthousiaste luide fans.. wereld v verschil. Deed me denken aan Sticky in Madrid! 🥰

      Kijk echt uit naar die gigs in Mexico in Brazilië.. de video's van die concerten zullen wel iets anders zijn dan Antwerpen.. En.. als ik me goed herinner, tijdens een concert in Londen of ergens in NY had M het over haar slechtste publiek.. niet Keulen of ergens in Zweden.. wel Antwerpen :p 

  8. maybe you are confusing me with yourself boo. Im talking more about how the Democratic party forced Biden down our throats without a fair primary just an example.
  9. Let me guess, you are one of those people who believe the NSDAP was a socialist party?

  11. That is actually not true. Vox wrote a good article on that topic with charts: https://www.vox.com/politics/24094752/biden-trump-strong-economy-2024-inflation The perception is that the economy is shit because of the residual inflation (which was due to the pandemic and subsequent supply chain disruptions more so than Trump or Biden policies). But the stock market, unemployment rate, wage growth, etc. is all doing better under Biden. I realize perception is key, and even if it is a false perception, it could cost Biden the 2024 election. I would still rather have him than Trump. Trump didn't really do anything except pass a tax cut for the wealthy and stack the Supreme Court (as well as the federal judiciary). The GOP doesn't even have a real policy platform anymore.
  12. For a lot of people The number 1 issue, is the economy. And it was doing better under Trump. It's shit under Biden. You see people tried 1 term of each, and most was better off during Trump's era, so they remember that and would rather have that.

  14. This is so true. I don't think the polls should be disregarded completely but this far out + considering recent history, I don't think they should be taken too too seriously at this point. I can see why from the outside looking in, it seems like the whole country loves Trump but that's absolutely not true. I'd say the majority loathes him but he definitely has something Biden doesn't and that's a dedicated and passionate base that is with him ride or die. It's quite literally a cult in many ways. Trump won't lose those voters but on the other hand, he's not going to gain too many either. Biden absolutely does not have that loyalty in any way shape or form but in some ways, that's also his advantage because he is more likely to gain the "swing" voters and independent voters if he plays his cards right. My fear with this election is that people (especially young people) won't vote at all or a third party will take votes away from Biden leading to a Trump victory. Another consideration is even if Biden wins legitimately, the Republicans will refuse to certify the election. There are so many what if's with this election. Anyways, for those that haven't already seen it, check out the Republican response to Biden's State Of The Union.....just a warning though, have a barf bag handy.....
  15. By the way, don't trust any of those polls. They have been wrong ever since 2016. The preditced a win for Hillary Clinton. Well, she did win. The popular vote. But thanks to that archaic and racist electoral college, Trump became president. Since then, he and the Republicans bascially lost every election although polls predicted wins for them. At this point I do think, people intentionally lie when asked about elections. But let's not forget, in the U.S. it only takes three or four swing states like Michigan to decide the election. A few ten thousand votes. That's it. I am shocked to read that there are people, young, liberal people that consider not voting for Biden because of the Israel / Hamas war and they think Biden does not do enough to prevent a genocide. Considering the looming threat of a president Trump and a cabinet full of the most disgusting human beings like Stephen Miller, the idea intelligent people being a one issue voter (that is not even a U.S. issue) is absolutely nuts. I wonder who they will blame once all kinds of rights and freedoms will be dismantled. Trump and his followers made it very clear what they want for the U.S. to become. People should believe them. Remember when Trump joked that he can shoot someone dead on Fifth Avenue and his voters will still follow him? This has very much turned into a prophecy.
  16. Of course it's non sense, there is no 2 percent in any threaty. However Dumb has make it his chewing phrase, I guess with cooperation from his RU brothers. GER and EU need much much bigger army, because if EST president is to be believed RU is expected to attack NATO within 5 year period!
  17. Another lie by Trump and the Republicans. When did the US pay for other countries defense or security? Of course, his base is ignoring facts as if they would catch a disease by accepting reality and truth. People should read the NATO treaties and look for the 2% part and what it exactly says, especially the timeline. People should look closer where the billions of dollar in Ukraine aid is actually going. It is rich of Donald Trump and the Republicans talking about the U.S. being the defender of Europe when it was the U.S. that has called for article to be imposed in 2001. Do I believe a change in defense and security strategies in Europe is needeed, to be more independent of the U.S.? Absolutely. Especially my country, most likely because of its horrible past, has put diplomacy before everything else and has been fooled over and over again. Diplomacy does not work when you have to deal with autocrats and dictators like Putin, Erdogan, Orban. Deterrence is the only language agressors like Putin understand. I am very much in favor of Germany building a nuclear arsenal.
  18. could be that Americans want isolation and NOT to lead? Or pay for other ppl defence? I wonder why too? Since the US economy seems to be doing great.
  19. ok, I have the same feeling. Well, my cousin won´t, but that´s it. I wonder why. I mean, is it the economy? the war? what has happened internally, nationally that has made so many people go pro trump?
  20. Biden in his last speech sounded good. It´s weird, sometimes he sounds 80, others 120 years old...anyways, it seems clear that trump is going to win, isn´t it?
  21. This is so depressing. It baffles me how anyone can think trump is sane, let alone competent to run a country.
