Kokoomus haluaa hoitaa 2 miljardia velkajarrusta leikkaamalla eläkkeitä. Samalla Orpo sanoo, ettei Kokoomus tavoittele *maksussa olevien* eläkkeiden leikkaamista. Aikamoinen taikuri täytyy olla, että saa tämän yhtälön täsmäämään. yle.fi/a/74-20249032

Kokoomus julkisti yhdeksän miljardin leikkauslistan – ei korottaisi veroja lainkaan velkajarrun vuoksi
Kokoomuksen velkajarruohjelmaan sisältyy miljardin euron menolisäykset, jolloin ensi kauden sopeutuksen kokonaismääräksi tulisi kahdeksan miljardia.

Suomessa lakisääteiset työeläkkeet kuuluvat osaksi kokonaisveroastetta, kun taas monissa muissa maissa eläketurva rakennetaan työmarkkinaeläkkeiden varaan, eikä niitä lasketa mukaan kok. veroasteeseen. Korjasin vertailua: Suomen kok. veroaste verrokkimaiden toiseksi pienin. 2/

Awful: Trump's Office of "Remigration" has just been exposed making sordid payments to authoritarian governments to take third-country deportees, leading to serious abuses. Dems tell me they will try to defund the agency if they win power. They should. 1/ New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2157...

Stephen Miller’s MAGA Terror Campaign Exposed by Damning New Leaks
Sordid revelations about the white-nationalist-themed Office of Remigration should galvanize Democrats: If they win power, they must try to shut it down.

Ilmeisesti journalismin eettisiä ohjeita on jossain vaiheessa muutettu? Otsikot ovat tasoltaan kuin Ylilaudalta revittyjä. Niiden ainoana tarkoituksena vaikuttaa olevan vähä-älyisten rasistien lietsominen ja vaaliaseen antaminen persuille. Muuta järkeähän näissä ei ole.

"It is indeed provocative, though not in the way the Times meant, for POTUS to either be lying about his role responding to the deadliest attack on US soil or so addled he thinks he was pulling away chunks of cement & narrowly escaping death from a tumbling building that then never actually tumbled"

The muted response to Trump 9/11 fantasy is a media failure

On this day in 1939, the USSR and Nazi Germany signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and carved up Europe as allies. Moscow wants the world to forget this. Russia holds no moral high ground on Nazism and only fought Hitler after he betrayed them in 1941
