28-jarige Russische vrouw overleden aan de pest, volgens diverse bronnen. 200 mensen in quarantaine. Ze zou in een lab met de pestbacterie hebben gewerkt, toen een buisje gevallen is, al zeggen anderen dat ze de ziekte in Thailand opgelopen heeft. Meer bij meduza.io/amp/en/news/...

Frank Kalshoven legt het nog één keer uit. Ik vermoed alleen dat Heinen het heus wel snapt, maar slechts zijn vermogende achterban tevreden wilde stellen. De VVD dient andere belangen dan die van de hardwerkende Nederlander of de kleine spaarder.

zelf een jurist of politicoloog raadplegen om anti-democratische omkoping te duiden is voor de NOS geen neutrale of objectieve journalistiek, liever gewoon ff snel verwijzen naar "commentatoren" en daarna alleen maar enthousiaste Trump-supporters aan het woord laten, da's gebalanceerd genoeg

He's now resorting to trying to buy the election. Federal law makes it unlawful to knowingly and willfully pay, offer to pay, or accept payment for registering to vote or for voting. (52 U.S.C. §10307(c).) Any type of incentive is considered “payment.”

OK, small point here, but it’s almost certain he meant “parameters of a deal,” but he can’t spell and is very dumb, so he used “perimeters of a deal” and news orgs are just running with it like that’s a perfectly normal thing to say, which it absolutely is not. That’s not a thing anybody says.

Russia's anti-terror committee says the blast was caused by a bomb a woman tried to bring into the restaurant. The bomber, the guard who blocked her, and one guest died. 21 injured.

No one can ever believe anything Trump pledges, says or puts in writing. With Trump, a deal is never a deal and nobody can count on the US for anything while he’s president. His word is garbage, agreements mean nothing, and he lies about everything.

Er is te weinig woede over het feit dat de leider van dit land via het platform van een gore racist een slappe boodschap verstuurt over binnenlands, xenofoob terrorisme - wat hij tot 'vandalisme' reduceert.
