Trumps approval percentage (the thing he himself cares most about in the world) has now entered the thirties for the first time.
This is not just one poll. It is the combined and weighted average by #NateSilver of all major us polls.

Seeing how such a fast-increasing majority now regard him an incompetent failure, Trump must be near mental brakedown.

The one reason trump started the iran war:
His ratings obsession.
He knew starting a war had worked in the past.
Bush jr's approval shot up to 92% when he started bombing afghanistan in 2001 and later to 76% when he invaded iraq.
Trump will never give a second thought to the cost of lives, let alone the monetary cost to the people of the US or the rest of the world.
Needless to say, he failed again. Gaining a 1% rise in the first 2 days, his downward spiral has once again started.

Running a war like teenage boys on a sugar rush would.

#geertwilders found to have chickened out of TV election debates using made-up threats to his life.

#populists want to talk all day, but only when they can spew their fact-free fantasies uninterrupted.
Internal #pvv messaging now shows how scared #wilders was of debates on equal terms with other parties.

Winning the election in 2024, his government collapsed in total chaos within a year.

#thenetherlands learnt its lesson regarding #populism the hard way. I urge other countries to take note.

Yesterday my @tuxedocomputers infinitybook pro 15 arrived and it is amazing.
It is as well built as any laptop I have ever owned, without being clunky in any way.
It is fast and sleak. Its keyboard touch is a dream.

But most importantly, it proves that (thanks to #AMD )in 2026 you dont need a ridiculously beefy #gpu for demanding graphics
The #Radeon 890M integrated graphics performs outstanding. And without any fiddling with propriatary drivers, Instead all right from the Linux #Kernel

Oh #NOS. Jullie volgen het nieuws n beetje toch? Dan weet je wellicht ook dat X gerund wordt door een nazi-sympathiserende, ai-kinderporno makende, EU-hatende eigenaar.
Waarom, waarom??
Je kunt ook zo'n link naar die @RWSverkeersinfo post naar hun Mastodon account te laten wijzen. De overheid heeft daar nml speciaal haar eigen souvereine NL-server voor opgericht.. Inhoudelijk identiek.
Maar nee, de NOS blijft verslaafd aan X en zal NOOIT iets anders kunnen bedenken.

This is a mind trick:
Agents armed with automatic assault guns, masked, wearing helmets, bullet proof vests and camouflage, are sent to round up unsuspecting builders, gardeners and nannies.

The picture your leaders want to put in your mind is the extreme danger those rounded up pose to you.
This will instill and enforce fear for 'others' in you, as well as fear for your leaders. This picture will make you more compliant and less inclined to question.

In #europe we learn this in school.

Among all the disheartening and petty infighting from our national politicians, not willing to give up any of the little power they have and really work together for a last chance to unite us europeans against all #antidemocratic forces in the world, I just noticed this.
I choose to see it as a glimmer of hope for the future of #europe .
