  1. Also nice. Snapshot in Washington D.C.
  2. Thats fair - agree. Except with your last sentence.
  3. Since when does UK belong to this thread with this topic? Maybe try it in the UK thread.
  4. Here some snapshots: "In one of the largest single-day nationwide demonstrations in U.S. history, nearly seven million Americans gathered today, 2 million more than June, in over 2,700 cities and towns for the No Kings Day of Peaceful Action, standing together in nonviolent defiance of authoritarianism and affirming that this nation belongs to its people, not to kings," a statement from the "No Kings" organizers said. "With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, today’s mobilization was 14 times larger than both of President Trump’s presidential inaugurations combined, marking a historic moment of unity and resistance," the statement added. "From rural communities to major metropolitan centers, the message was clear: America will not be ruled by fear, force, or one man’s power grab." Organizers Say Nearly 300,000 People Came To NYC Protest. Police Say There Were No Arrests. Organizers for the "No Kings" protest estimated that New York City saw a turnout of nearly 300,000 people for the event, MSNBC reported. As crowd estimates across the country continue to come in, the NYPD described the crowd size in New York as "more than 100,000" in a post on X. What's more, New York City police said there were "zero protest-related arrests." Organizer For "No Kings" Protest Says 200,000 People Showed Up In Washington, D.C. MoveOn, one of the progressive groups that helped organize Saturday's mass protests against Trump, said in a statement that more than 200,000 people were estimated to have shown up in D.C. alone. As Millions March Against Him, Trump Hides In Florida To Play Golf As millions of Americans are expected to take to the streets Saturday for "No Kings" protests, Trump has decided to hide himself away in Florida to play golf. A White House pool report said Trump is currently at his Palm Beach club. "There were no demonstrations visible from the windows of the press van," the pool report said.
  5. This text belongs to the same link from Airalee too... (repeat) https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-democratic-national-convention-ap-fact-check-immigration-politics-2663c84832a13cdd7a8233becfc7a5f3 The Obama administration separated migrant children from families under certain limited circumstances, like when the child’s safety appeared at risk or when the parent had a serious criminal history. But family separations as a matter of routine came about because of Trump’s “zero tolerance” enforcement policy, which he eventually suspended because of the uproar. Obama had no such policy. -------------------- Yeah, it's hard when facts are given repeatedly for Magastani alt rights and Nazis.
  6. Belive it or not, protesting against Queens and Kings are in Europe no problem. Free speach (without any repression or consequences) - maybe you remember… In the US that was once a normal thing.
  7. Not able to verify your link and the provided information at the moment. Will do so asap. Thanks for this. I will follow this topic for sure. Regards Schoggibueb
  8. In case somebody is interested... Long live the "No Kings" 🙂 https://www.nokings.org/#map No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. On October 18, millions of us are rising again to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people. Find Event
  9. Putin will never take that risk, not even with a double from him. His plane costs too much if it were forced to land.
  10. I have already given you the possibility to fact-check historically what the NSDAP aka Nazis was, you still go repeating this same nonsence. That's dumber than a box of rocks.
  11. Factchecking Towarisch желтохвост is not an oppinion.
  12. It's in the same link as Airalee posted. https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-democratic-national-convention-ap-fact-check-immigration-politics-2663c84832a13cdd7a8233becfc7a5f3 One just has to read the full text and not only pick out the part that matches like Airalee did. It's called factchecking Towarisch желтохвост.
  13. Geez, too stupid to understand what you are writing, товарищ желтохвост
  14. .... The Obama administration separated migrant children from families under certain limited circumstances, like when the child’s safety appeared at risk or when the parent had a serious criminal history. But family separations as a matter of routine came about because of Trump’s “zero tolerance” enforcement policy, which he eventually suspended because of the uproar. Obama had no such policy.
  15. Hard to understand for you? The abbreviation ANTIFA stands for what exactly?
  16. So what - the motion was passed through a hand-raising vote, obtaining a majority of 76 out of 150 votes. The claims about the Dutch plan to ban Antifa appear to be rooted in confusion over how the parliamentary process works. The motion was tabled by Geert Wilders, the leader of the far-right Party for Freedom (PVV), and Caroline van der Plas, founder of the right-wing Farmer Citizen Movement (BBB) party. It's not Donnie-style - oh - they are terrorists. Netherlands still has a working political system in comparence to the US.
  17. Study: Tariffs to cost companies $1.2T this year, mostly hitting consumers President Trump's tariffs will cost businesses more than $1.2 trillion this year, with most of that cost being passed on to consumers, according to a new study from S&P Global. Why it matters: It's the latest sign that Americans will end up bearing the brunt of Trump's trade war. It also contributes to a picture of a much more difficult economy ahead. Driving the news: In the study published on Thursday, S&P Global found that companies are now expected to pay at least $1.2 trillion more in 2025 expenses than they anticipated on Jan. 1, in what the researchers say is likely a conservative estimate. The researchers project that at least two-thirds of "expense shock" will be passed on to consumers, with the rest absorbed by companies. By the numbers: The $1.2 trillion figure comes via data collected from 15,000 analysts across 9,000 companies. What they're saying: "The sources of this trillion-dollar squeeze are broad," the researchers said in the report. "Tariffs and trade barriers act as taxes on supply chains and divert cash to governments; logistics delays and freight costs compound the effect," they wrote. "Collectively, these forces represent a systemic transfer of wealth from corporate profits to workers, suppliers, governments and infrastructure investors." Zoom in: Trump's suspension of the "de minimis rule" this year increased the "squeeze" on companies, per the report. The rule, which meant that packages valued at less than $800 have enjoyed an exemption from added levies, allowed foreign online retailers like Temu and Shein to sell cheap items to American consumers. The suspension marked "a clear inflection in global trade costs." The intrigue: AI lifted profit margins this year, the researchers noted, but tariffs "pulled them down." Catch up quick: Trump has re-escalated trade tensions with China. The threats put imported cooking oil on the chopping block for consumers. The Yale Budget Lab estimated in August that Trump's latest tariffs will cost U.S. households $2,400 this year. Source: Axios https://www.axios.com/2025/10/16/trump-tariffs-cost-china
  18. And how shall Putin travel to Budapest?! Interesting...
  19. Memo from whom? Sorry, didn't get the memo. Source?

  21. Geez, finally. A 10 second search. Compliment - Yagoda never had the skills to try that.
  22. Unfortunatley my country isn‘t a „leftist <deleted>hole country“. And no, it‘s not Germany as Yagoda repeats consequently wrong. Last but not least, the US isn‘t a free society anymore. You have military in your streets, without reason. No riots.
