Raider of the lost Ark

It appears Hungary has really crossed the line too far this time. Western Europe, Southern Europe and the Baltic States are really pissed off. The Dutch prime minister even said Hungary should leave the EU if they no longer respect the laws and rules they once accepted when entering the EU. Of course, all Eastern EU members are quiet. It becomes more and more obvious that certain countries only see the EU as an organization that pumps billions of Euros in subsidies into their countries but are no longer interested in the basic principles of the EU. Since there is no possibility to kick a member out (the founders were so innocent to believe that all members are part of it for the best interest of all members), the only solution is to dissolve the EU as we know it and form a new one. Maybe this threat alone will make some countries re-think. Because where do they want go? Hungary and Poland as a Russian ally. They hate Russia even more than the rest of Europe because of their past. Well, they could make a trade deal with the UK. I'm sure that will work fine. Not. I wish the EU would finally start penalizing those anti democratic countries. But there are so many insane things regarding the EU. Why is the EU transfering billions in Euros to possible future members in Eastern Europe and Turkey to promote democracy? If they want to be a member of the EU and the benefits of this very exclusive club they should work these things out on there own. And Turkey, really? They will never become a member of the EU. What a waste of money.

And what about that horrible human Tim Martin of JD Wetherspoon pubs? That huge brexiteer now crying since he has not enough staff because there is no access to EU workforce. That idiot now wants easy access for EU citizens to the British labor market. Well, I guess, to the minimum wage labor market. Jobs no Brit wants to accept. His stupidity is astounding. And can you imagine working as a European, most likely with an accent, at one of those pubs, serving Brexiteers, most likely even bullied by. Now that's what I call a toxic atmosphere.

I don't understand. I was always under the impression that only the Queen can declare someone a Lord or that Lord is actually a title that can only be inherited since they are the British aristocracy? Whereas almost everyone can become a sir or dame. For achievements in the arts or sports for instance.

This woman selling those yellow stars is disgusting. The level of ignorance is astounding and sad. I wonder what they teach in U.S. schools regarding the Holocaust. Here in Germany, all pupils will need to visit a concentration camp at least once as part of history classes. This woman should be forced to visit Auschwitz. Maybe she will realize how wrong she is. Or maybe she should simply watch a documentary on the subject.

The biggest problem in the whole discussion has always been and still is, it is impossible to criticize the State of Israel, its politics and actions, without being put in the anti-semitic corner. Of course, it all is result of the Holocaust. Especially in Germany, at least in politics, there is no open criticism when it comes to Israels policies in the region. It's a no go. The level of self-censorship is astounding. Of course, it is not helpful in any way. I would like to believe that the majority of people, especially the younger generations in Israel are sick and tired of this conflict. They most likely are in not in favor of Israels policies regarding Palestine and the constant annexion of Palestinian land for new settlements. I don't know if those younger generations are not as politically involved (I don't think so, there have been several demonstrations to vote out Netanyahu), but they are obviously not in power. In power are the conservative and ultra-conservative parties. And who are the ultra-conservatives? Are they the descendants of the Holcocaust survivors? No. The overall majority are immigrants from Russia. They are also the ones living in the illegal settlements. They are the ones rejecting any social progress on all levels. They are very much acting in their very own interest, not necessarily the State of Israel and its citizens. And unfortunately this particular group has way too much influence in the Israeli parliament and government. This group of people that see themselves as something special, a group that does not even want to be part of society and rejects the social norms of a modern society, has this amount of power. To make matters worse, they most likely don't even see themselves as Israelis, the see themselves merely as Jews. And because of that, it all comes down to religion when infact this conflict cannot be solved as long as the parties involved start to have discussions as two independent states. And any party needs to adress mistakes make on their sides first. But I doubt that Israel will ever do that because from their perspective everything they do, is to defend the existence of State of Israel, even when other countries and human rights organisations say Israels actions and provocations are often the reason for this conflict to never end.

Gotta love some reporters on TV. "He suddenly died". The man was almost 100 years old.

Does Boris know that the EU will not grant the City of London access to the EU service market? And how many more trade agreements has he signed recently? The last I remember was the one with Japan that will increase British Cheese export by a few thousand pounds (money, not weight) per year.

How anyone can defend him is beyond me. He is an elected official. Elected by the citizens of his state to represent his state, to work in the interest of his state. Every responsible politician would have told his family to stay home because there are things way more important once a natural desaster happens. In such case, family has to step back. This is what families of people in the highest positions have to realize and is something that is generally accepted. Yet he thought this does not apply to him. As mentiomed before he did not need to fly, the mother was there. Furthermore, this move was completely stupid from a PR point of view. If he was clever, he had told his family, this is not the time to travel to Mexico when there is a desaster going on, when there are thousands and thousands of Texans suffering. There is no excuse for what he did. None.

From what I have heard, Tulum has become very much the place to be when vacationing in Mexico. I can imagine local businesses are fuming over such action by the police. This is not the publicity you want for your town. Especially when the gay crowd brings in a substantial amount of money and probably spends more per guest on average. Of course, socio conscious celebrities will stay away too. So in the bigger picture, the police, paid by tax money, did a huge disservice to their community. Because of a kiss. A kiss that very obviously no one was bothered by.

She is so dumb. She got kicked off from all the comitees. If she wanted to have any influence on legislation contentwise and therefore politics, she needed to be in there. Now she can bascially vote yay or nay to pass legislation. She is a lame duck. She can't do anything for her voters. Nothing. She has no influence whatsoever. No matter how loud she is. All her ramblings are basically a deflection from the fact that her very own behaviour caused this situation. If she was a manager at a company she would be fired.

Even if there was regulation for news broadcasters, it would not apply to Fox "News" anyway. Fox News is registered as an entertainment programme.

Can't wait for Don Jr. going to prison. I bet he will cry like a little girl.

It has just been reported, she has died at the hospital.

I have a good idea. To make the inauguration more entertaining, part of the punishment should be like the scene from Game of Thrones. Those rioters will need to walk down the steps of the Capitol and Nancy Pelosi rings a bell. "Shame", "Shame".

I hope someone tapes all of this and creates a wall of shame online. So everyone can see who these c*nts are. Those are criminals. They need to be punished in one way or the other.
