Lawman 0 posted:What the gently caress? Oh this is just an example of "Dutch Directness!" Many buitenlanders have trouble understanding this little quirk of the Dutch. It is simply them just speaking their minds and not having to hide behind politeness. Now, let me tell you next about the famous "Dutch Tolerance."

if you want to read up on the incident and fun attitudes of the dutch, there's only a dutch wiki page of the fire. here's google translate of the thing: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schipholbrand quote:In response to the fire, an emergency debate was requested in the Lower House . Minister Verdonk stated that the authorities concerned had acted "adequately", but Minister Donner stated that mistakes may have been made. An independent investigation concluded that there would have been no or fewer fatalities had the building decree not been ignored. [8] it's machine translated but it gets the point across. Verdonk's a cold lizard.

Orange Devil posted:Was this minister a prison warden before becoming a minister by any chance? No, she was editor of a small, local newspaper for short while, then climbed the party ladder to Minister of Employment and was almost immediately outed for lying about her education. She got her second ministerial gig by race baiting relentlessly and continued those efforts as minister, for example installing an immigration clamp-down counter on the official ministry website and celebrating with cake when it reached 50 (a move that earned her the moniker "Trumpine" in Bild). She was also the single most popular minister in recent history by a wide margin and will no doubt continue her shtick in some other party regardless of impeachment.

Carthag Tuek posted:lmao i forgot she lied about her education Not even a real degree, she claimed to have a journalism diploma from a school that never offered them. Even better was when she marched to Blågårds Plads surrounded by cops and scolded an immigrant kid for taking a year off from school to work. She herself was 40 before finishing some bullshit business degree to pad her otherwise lacklustre résumé. She also tried to have some teenage girls arrested for calling her a fascist during the same photo op.

So Italy is handing the PM position to everyone’s favorite Goldman Sachs and Opus Dei alumnus Mario Draghi. I guess he deserves to be punished for his role in the ECB, but making him run the Italian government seems a bit harsh IMO

I am praying to all the gods that he will put aside his bean-counting for a moment, and realise that he doesn't need to balance a budget when actual lives are at stake. I'm not optimistic.

you guys cannot believe the amount of embarassingly bad propaganda being spewed 24/7 by our media, all stories of the same caliber of that NYT article about Kamala's jacket on vogue, and it is being pumped to the rhythm of like 5-6 articles a day on each of our major newspapers. oh he was such a rebel in school and popular with the girls! here's a story about how he flew economy one time! i fondly remember those times when we shared our bench at x company early in our careers! etc etc, all day long. if this is the sort of effort they do to push that guy i can only imagine the devastation that is about to come to us. keep us in your prayers just in case. also, lol at how italy keeps exposing democracy for the farce it is whenever they feel like it. this is like the 4th time in our history they just up and went 'no what we actually need is a technocrat to do this bit' and inevitably it ends in blood and tears mortons stork has issued a correction as of 16:29 on Feb 5, 2021 |

conte is the best example of chameleon-like italian politicians like we've had for over a hundred years. in 2018 he headed a para-fascist coalition of lega and m5s and signed on some poo poo that took us a peg or two into the sliding-scale of authoritarianism w/o even blinking. then in 2019 formed a pd-m5s government and like reversed half the poo poo he personally signed and promoted as good in the previous year initially also did astonishingly well containing the pandemic, then around september october decided to just like throw in the towel, and just contented himself with the rally-round-the-flag popularity boost leaders get for handling a crisis. still, he was miles better than he couldve been given the circumstances. he was also a lot worse than what was needed, so in short a land of contrasts

my italian comrades, can i get some more explanation on this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-l-oDG6erU i liked it when it first came out cause he talks about respecting africans as much as romans etc, but i just now belatedly noticed that there are 3 older journalist-types taking notes while he talks which appears super staged. also the video is from the guardian so lmao at that is it from a satire show or something?

Due to its rotation principle, the socialist-identifying Unity List has chosen yet another (young, white, conventionally attractive) spokeswoman and she's extremely into Harry Potter. As of this year the party gave up its otherwise staunch opposition to immigration restrictions, leaving exactly nobody in the Danish parliament on the side of immigrant rights.
