Fout 1. Vuurwerk komt niet uit Nederland, maar uit China. 2. Consumentenvuurwerk is hier pas sinds de jaren ‘60 verkrijgbaar 3. Op grote schaal afsteken met Nieuwjaar gebeurt pas sinds de jaren ‘70 en ‘80. Vuurwerk is dus GEEN “eeuwenoude traditie” noch “cultureel erfgoed”.

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries: “It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use

Misschien niet de boodschap die u wilt horen: De jaarlijkse fijnstofemissie door 1 dag vuurwerk is groter dan die van alle verbrandingsmotoren van personenauto's, bedrijfswagens en vrachtwagens samen, in een heel jaar. #grafiekvandedag

Aangezien Nederlanders graag strengere straffen willen, stel ik een minimumstraf van zes weken cel voor bij het afsteken van vuurwerk volgend jaar.

Liz Cheney: “I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.” Republicans, your dishonor will remain.

With the heaviest of hearts, I guess Gianni Infantino will now have to withdraw the FIFA Peace Prize.

De Amerikaanse inval in Venezuela laat één ding duidelijk zien: neem Trumps uitspraken over Canada en Groenland bloedserieus. De Verenigde Staten zijn in verval en ondermijnen daarmee juist de liberale orde die zij zelf ooit hebben opgericht. hiddebouwmeester.nl/amerika-is-een…

The White House is confirming U.S. military operations in Venezuela tonight. Let us be clear: these strikes are illegal. The President does not have the authority to declare war or undertake large-scale military operations without Congress. Congress must act to rein him in.

The “Peace President” just announced a unilateral bombing & regime change in Venezuela - no Congress - then schedules a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, the same venue where Vanilla Ice recently performed with a Ninja Turtle. America is no longer a serious country.

Venezuela’s Maduro is a corrupt, vicious dictator repressing democratic opposition . But the US unilaterally capturing a foreign leader not at war breaches every canon of intl law. Justifies Putin in Ukraine/Xi in Taiwan. Might is right. Who next on what pretext? A dark moment.

Als Verenigde Staten #Venezuela mag aanvallen, waarom zouden anderen zich nog inhouden? Rusland: Oekraïne. China: Taiwan. Marokko: Westelijke Sahara. Azerbeidzjan: Nagorno-Karabach. Turkije: Noord-Cyprus. Soevereiniteit is geen keuzevak. Wie de regels buigt, geeft anderen een

I’ll just leave this right here. #Venezuela

‘De VS schenden internationaal recht door een ander land aan te vallen. Zij doen in Venezuela hetzelfde als Rusland in Oekraïne. ‘. Terechte constatering van niet de eerste de beste: Jan Pronk.

WAKE UP! This has NOTHING to do with human rights. It has EVERYTHING to do with Trump stealing oil it in order to maintain power. It is impeachable.

Rachel Maddow on Venezuela: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of

This is the most terrifying speech I’ve heard in my lifetime. America is lost… #DonaldTrump has taken over a sovereign nation and now saying he needs to send more National Guard to keep control of US cities. Do not be deluded…this is dictatorship in broad daylight…

And there it is, folks. It was all about the oil. trump just admitted it, live, in 4K.

Today, many leaders will rightly condemn President Donald Trump’s unlawful and unjust actions in Venezuela, and I join them. But just as glaring, and far more damning, is Congress’ ongoing abdication of its constitutional duty. For almost a year now, the legislative branch has

Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela do not make America safer, stronger, or more affordable. That Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator does not change the fact that this action was both unlawful and unwise. We’ve seen this movie before. Wars for regime change or oil that
