Where did she say turkey has imperialistic affairs in the western balkans?
Imperialistic is my stretch, but pinpointing ambitions in Western Balkans is in ill-faith thinking if it was 16th century
One thing I can confirm is that Western Balkans isn't a relevant region to current state affairs as of now

The day event happened
📑 Translated from Arabic
Iran's embassy in Kabul posted a strange tweet. They say in it: "After Iran destroyed the secret center for cloud seeding and weather manipulation in the UAE, everything changed overnight. And with the end of this secret center, the region's weather map flipped completely, and now Iran and Iraq are getting rain every week and temperatures have dropped 5 degrees. I don't know the accuracy of their words, but it's a change noticed by everyone, and temperatures in Iraq haven't been like this in decades."

As someone having followed dam situations due crisises and forced cuts, i will say we are seeing historic rains here in modern history.
Hadn't seen a constantly raining winter/spring period like this one
secret? it's well known dubai uses cloud seeding lol
Point is more the technique working against other surrounding states
If they are utilized in such manner it pinpoints to start of a horrible concept in climate wars
wasn't questioning that, just that calling the center secret makes it sound like the plan was covert or some shit
I mean they are claiming there's covert plan on more than cloud seeding alone
We plan on trying to utilize cloud seeding here, hopefully we aren't doing it to damage other states
Basically claim is that there is ill intent including altering wind paths and pulling clouds away from Iran and Iraq
How true that is, would risk misinforming
It's part conspiracies including another stuff like HAARP claiming to control weather and earthquake events, though that is less reasonable to happen and more utilized to justify having extreme failures in responses against earthquakes

Germany to take on ‘more responsibility’ for Europe’s defence ft.trib.al/85ie9PU
Palantir had wanted Germany and Japan remilitarized for more offensives in their manifesto
This explains why i got army ad in the form of my döner kebab wrapper
Ich kann das alles nicht mehr
Everything is a conspiracy just kill me 
That's more direct quote from Palantir
I would not dare put the labeling myself
The conspiracy is tying that to Germany spending more on defense
I mean you cannot say offensive on a press statement
Any 'defense sector' is really military sector
Defense is more a catch-all term for imagery, there's not an offensive sector in Turkey titled as offensive industry. Doesn't mean defense sector is only focused on defense

Unless you are the Trump brand not concerned with strategization or reason, and like to be seen as evil as possible
Ok
They had branded to War
Doesnt have anything to do with what i said but go off
I thought it was a direct answer
Yea my point wasnt that germany is calling it defense spending lol
I finally see what people meant by the new opus version going crazy
When palantir openly demands something done and it is done, not good signs await
I mean you just have no clue about german domestic politics so it must seem like that to you i guess
I didn't claim germany has done it because palantir has demanded them to
Atleast not as main reason?
It's more like Elon you cannot ever be on same side with Thiel
Oh we are doing the jordan peterson meme of only implying things and then backing off whenever somebody questions it
Thats fine
This is just stupid as fuck
I didn't implify? I pointed out matching stuff is worrying
Dont make your whole identity taking the opposite position of somebody no matter the merits
I am being put on meanings i do not have
Yes, Germany should ignore all the objective reasons to spend more on defence just so they are not on the same side as American crazies on something
This is sarcasm, if you somehow thought I was agreeing with your insane takes
My worry is declarations of militarization coming after or alongside Thiel endless war society manifesto
There is a war few hundred km from their border you imbecile
Ok so should europe just disarm because thiel said they should buy weapons
I am being put on words i necer said, meant or implified
Also this isnt even a new idea you just have no clue whats going on in Germany
My issue is it is a bad instance, and their militarization won't be to help regional allies they deem or defensive
So whats the militarization for then
Your issue is that you once again have no idea what you are generating text about.
I think they are prepared to declare multi-front offensives to Russia and China, with aim to reorganize NATO around Germany, Israel and Japan
And not even due protecting regional allies whom they have given big fuck yous for

Turkey has probably been biggest puppet state for EU/NATO/US, and Zelensky begged EU to use Turkish manpower against Russia, but Ursula has given a big fuck off to Zelensky recently, it is also odd given they had immensely increased nato presences and nuclear arsenal in state hold by nato
Youre saying nato will be reoganized around us/germany/israel when there currently is a war going on where israel/us want nato countries to help and germany has refused
Why in the fuck would germany then join them in a war with russia and china

Oh if level1tech would require tariffs thats them gone i guess
Customs Charges: The recipient (you) is responsible for your country’s customs charges and duties. We, L1 Techs, cannot estimate what the customs or duty charges will be. It varies from country to country. Contact your country’s customs department to calculate what your customs charges will be based on your purchase price.
VAT Information: Your order with L1 Techs does not require a VAT invoice. Since we are in the US, we are not required to have VAT registration. Also, no tax is paid on items imported from the US, which also negates the reason for a VAT invoice, as you will pay the tax upon import to your country.

︀︀
︀︀"No..that's taxpayer funded and union labor..and the prices are also adjusted regardless"
︀︀
︀︀(Via NYT-Opinio…
I know why Hassan talks like this. He deliberately says inflammatory stuff to provoke more class consciousness. Its a sort of propaganda but I dont believe it creates as negative impact as other podcasts and influencers. The worst case scenario would be dumb people stealing from small businesses thinking its the same. I think the idea of government owned options for necessities and essentials is a great idea but its corruptible just like everything else eventually.
He likes to praise China a lot cause of their philosophical roots and as productive as they've been there is still a lot of exploitation and enriching the wealthy going on there.
Idk end of day I think he just really wants an alternate form of governance that puts people first so I can be more charitable.
Did he also quote stalin in saying that the fall of the ussr was one of the greatest catastrophies of the 20th century to create more class consciousness?
Also i would say the worst case scenario is these businesses driving up prices because the shrink in their calculations is suddenly a lot higher. Or putting lots of products behind glass doors and locks so people cant steal them.
I do agree that he wants a different form of government, just not a liberal one.
And of course the idea of a multimillionaire advocating for poor people to steal from stores is just very funny. At least offer to pay for the legal fees of anybody arrested 
Ive heard his explanation for it. Idk if i agree but its because post USSR there was a huge decline in quality of life and the fact that US basically had no more competition on the global scale so they expanded internationally and domestically they became more capitalist.
I mean its not a real call to action imo. He wants to promote ppl using their collective power to take back whats rightfully theirs.
Also id rather have someone like him advocate strongly than the opposite even if he is in a different tax bracket.
Its not like he is moving without taking any risks. Theres been so many big pacs and orgs trying to silence and defame him.
This just sounds like cope im sorry
Also the entire context here is lefties being anti automation which is dumb af. What past automation was acceptable? Should cashiers have to remember prices of every item and manually add them all up? Should farmers have to plow the land with a good ol cow and a plow? All of these automated away jobs in the moment, so i guess they wouldve opposed them back then.
I dont believe its straight anti automation. Its wanting the surplus profits from automation by these corporations to be taxed right and used for the good of the many. Automation will take jobs but all the reduced costs just put more into the pockets of executive class and not redistributed.
Having slight flashbacks to arguing with conservatives in 2016 about some dumb shit trump said and how it actually makes total sense if you just interpret it in this completely different way
animal abuser, openly supports terror groups, openly calls for violence against elected officials, supports imperialism when it's not the west doing it, promotes voter apathy by suggesting democrats and republicans are the same
yep just class consciousness, nothing to see here
oh yeah and deflecting all criticism as pro israel, easiest thing to hide behind
- shock collar gate in april 2026 🥀 great litmus test for how susceptible you are to anything you see on social media that confirms your preconceived notions no matter if it’s false
- pretty sure you’re referring to him saying hamas is better than israel as that’s the most “support” he’s shown. factually true if going by casualties and pure destruction
- only thing i can think of is him saying “if you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud, you would kill Rick Scott.” more so a call for consistency with hyperbolic language
- unsure what this is referring to considering he doesn’t support russia
- he was primarily pointing out how similar they are on foreign policy more specifically unconditional support for israel
Fascinating that he understands harm reduction when comparing israel and hamas but not republicans and democrats
Btw bibi has tried for almost 20 years to get this war with iran yet trump was the first president to give it to him, probably just coincidence
But i have reached the severance season 2 finale so 
ngl idk what sources you guys get mostly exposed to him from but i dont really believe its objective takes
if the interpretation makes sense feel free to look into it a bit deeper. He got flaws but theres so much behind the scenes trying to make him look irredeemable
or dont idk you guys kinda sound like some strange reddit threads sometimes that are astroturfed. Mostly you guys seem critical and rational except against this guy
Very good show btw would recommend
i should watch that
I mean obviously its not objective takes. my opinion of him is that hes illiberal, not very bright, ineffective in his advocacy and in using his reach, especially uninformed on foreign policy and ultimately i dont agree with most communist policy ideas. Idk what sources you want me to look at, ive been aware of him since his humble beginnings as a destiny orbiter.
If thats how you feel after seeing as much as you claim then I guess just not for you
some insane number like seven or ten thousand targets were hit around Iran
and Iran similarly hit a lot in the gulf region and in Israel
a lot of planes flying around
a lot of missiles launched and burning fuel in the atmosphere
and then you consider all the gas and oil refinaries, depots, wells, etc. hit
and munition depots too
all that dust and byproducts of burnt stuff
all going up in the sky
I don't think abnormal weather in that region is too crazy given the circumstances
while I won't deny there may be theoretically weather control systems in place (we know rain seeding is a thing), I don't think THIS one in particular needs conspiracy theories to explain
Abnormal as in rainfall and clouds
yes
Targets being hit doesn't really cause rainfall
I don't think you read what I said
I have
You just posted an irrelevant response
Those byproducts won't cause rainfall
It doesn't really have the symptoms like dust storms or toxicity increase
this level of explosions and burning is not that dissimilar to forest wildfires
and wildfires are known to create rain and change weather patterns
like that oil depot that was hit in Tehran almost immediately started creating its own wind pattern and rainfall
in the form of oily black rain as apocalyptic as that sounds
Issue is, the rain happening isn't an oily black rain
you're not understanding me
large fires often cause rain downwind.
the fires cause more moisture in the air locally
from evaporation and boiling
and heat rising causes changes in atmospheric movement
these are abnormal events happening in the region so the weather being abnormal following these events is ... ironically normal
Not really sensible given it should have forced rain in UAE
Or in Gulf
Not in Iraq or Turkey

Lindsey Graham says they are going introduce legislation that’s going to authorize 400 million dollars to be spent on building the ballroom: We pay for it by offsetting it with customs fees. The sooner we get the ballroom built, the better it is for the country.
what happened to it being privately funded 
The funny thing is, that particular event wouldn't even be held in the ballroom, even if it existed already
It ould still be at that hotel
The whole argument makes no sense
nobody would dare to just run through a security if the ballroom existed, doh
they are playing 4D tower defense
deep scientology runs but whitehouse ballroom
more importantly
what customs fees
what is tax anymore
also the bribesprivate donors already happened no?
does this mean the budget is 800M+ now, or 600 i guess i think it was only the initial budget where the donors were public

Starting September 2026, a silent update pushed by Google, will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with Google, signed their contract, paid up, and handed over government ID.
︀︀
︀︀Google calls the new rule Android Developer Verification.

︀︀This starts with Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand expanding worldwide in 2027 every app on certified Android phones must come from a developer who has registered their real identity with Google.
︀︀
︀︀This covers apps from the Play Store, third-party stores, and sideloaded APKs.
︀︀
︀︀Here’s what developers have to do: They sign up in Google’s new verification system, share their legal name, address, phone number, and ID, and pay a one-time $25 fee.

NEW: It’s been revealed that OpenAI’s Codex system prompt includes explicit instructions to "never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other creatures.”
why lol
everything is speedrunnable i guess
I always thought LLMs had some advanced core code to try and control their outputs. But instead from leaks it seems like they just have extra embedded written prompts that they just hope the AI interprets the way they want it to.
Seems risky you end up with conflicts like if one section says "Always be bright and cheery" and another section says "Never be bright and cheery when discussing topics such as war" by definition it will have to ignore one of those
Or more generally you put in some rule in written form and it just ignores it under random circumstances for unclear reasons
it's not leaks, system prompts are just an inherent part of llms. they generally adhere more to the system message than the assistant messages
contradictions in system prompts can reduce performance, and adherence to system prompts can get worse when the context window (amount of content loaded) gets filled up
the goblin thing is pretty funny cause its one of the first times a gpt model has shown a personality like this, usually its claude models that would act weird like it

Cannot claim to complain about something when you fund it, cause disdolution of any opposition to it, and implament it in yourself

Point is, EU has claimed to be against authoritarianism while funding, and supporting authoritarianism, destroying opposition to it, and had been copying the methods to themselves. Not surprised EU has also gone with aim to ban vpns
I like how the original quote doesnt mention restricting vpns
Average verified account tweet
Yeah, we already had that
It's not direct and headline falls to sensationalism, it is however close/related in meaning
Also, one instance/guidance i can give is that newssites promote/are paid to make some trends go viral, to inevitably nake it happen, particularly in an era of hyper-controlled media. If an influx of 'banning vpns' news and broadcasts happen, chances are governments want to do so and are manufacturing consent
Thanks for pinging me with more stuff that doesnt mention banning vpns
Also whenever i read "manufacturing consent" i automatically assume its dumb as fuck
hey, at least it's not rambling about germany declaring war to china
era of hypercontrolled media
example is a twitter account that constantly clickbaits with sensationalist headlines

the thought of there being an actual person behind that account is just depressing
With the way uk elections work arent the tories kinda fucked
I am not going to respect someone that is heavily behind neo-Ottomanization of state if they are claiming to condemn it in front while having funded it and endorsed it for better advantages. Starmer's demise for being an inactive bum that didn't take advantage of what was in front of him was long overdue, but that's probably most politicians here and in world that probably deserves same fate

they're all kinda fucked really
I wonder who wins, hopefully it won't be reform
We already have enough far right movements gaining traction
Its always great when center left parties get shit on for not undoing center right turbo garbage in the wink of an eye
I mean when center right turbo garbage happens in moment, if they are unable to, we need momentary change even if deemed wild
I do not think we have enough time considering rise of military tensions and climate effects/change
that must be deep thoughts if you are nine
We can no longer afford the supposed long time and niceties center parties deem needed for implamentations of progress that is one step forward and two steps back as of now
So you want a dictator you agree with
Cause the people arent voting for climate change policies
Whenever the slightest discomfort shows up in the average voters life, climate change gets thrown out first thing in their mind
Not particularly one I have to agree with, but one that prioritizes wellbeing of state, and it's people at large, and employing actually competent people which isn't most of the politicians at power. Probably would work better than current systems in charge that isn't equipped to handle crisis
Not a total disagreement, but it's to be prioritized given we are on unprecedented threat
Well good luck
Yes, it is easy to throw away climate issues and i agree that it is hard to implament. I will say that i care for not getting my politics from aggregators
While i check then on pop media, on politics it's merely my beliefs and not repetitions. I might have wrong beliefs, but not due consuming worst people's content
brought to you by person who spammed for an hour about germany declaring war on china
I do think they are planning to. Not Germaby alone but Nato overall
Particularly through new basis of Turkic power coming to Central Asia and Azerbaijan from Turkey who is lacking diplomatic competency even on them
Eh democracy is probably not all that popular with young people nowadays and i kind of get why, the allure of strongman politics goes for both sides
The recent Israeli-Kazakh agreements are a sign
There's also failure of upholding of democracy from supposed upholders of democracies, in states they deem needless to have them
Tom Barack has openly wanted sunni kingdoms and hereditary states benevolent to him, and he has achieved that
Turkish opposition has hoped from EU and US to uphold human rights and democratic values, but they were fucked over by their promotion of a client state due how exploitable current government is, due their only major aim being to retain seat.
so many words for so little of substance
If supposed pillars of democracy are unwilling to uphold them in provinces inconvinient to them, people will resort to different alternatives
Thats geopolitics baby
Yes, i had realized recently, though a bit late
In case you havent notice the migrant crisis from the mid 2010s has led to a huge rise in far right parties across europe, they kinda have to figure their shit out before they can afford to anger the country controlling a large part of the flow of migrants
So obviously they won't openly undercut the current ruler of turkey

I mean Starmer is very relevant alongside EU, Putin and US, on why neo-ottomanization and enshittification of state and economic conditions were permitted. One cannot complain like EU/UK/US does about Iran while openly aiming for a Sunni Iran

see, turkey
Any etymology nerds know why turkey is a country and a bird
people traded with turks to get a bird so they called it turkey
How did the turks get the bird tho
that bird was actually the gunea fowl, the turkey is a different bird that they thought looked similar
I guess they were just middlemen
we call it "krocan"
some people also call it a peru
or "krůta" for the ladies
Germans call it Truthahn
Franch 
Banger name tbh
again, this was for the guinea fowl, for some reason those names all switched over to the bird we now call the turkey now lol
So only the brits were being fucking stupid and the americans inherited it from them
classic
nah everyone was
Female version is "Pute" and I'm sure Spanish speakers can appreciate that one
Ok im embarrassed to admit i never realized pute is truthahn meat
Figured it was some other bird
oh right i also forgot the other big thing
people also thought they were peacocks, so a lot of countries just call it the same word they use for peacock
tldr; its really embarrasing that erdogan used this as the justification to change Turkey to Türkiye
But they look nothing like peacocks
it's like german and french version next to each other

I am not an Orthodox, could use Orthodox arguements here to see whatever should happen
📑 Translated from Turkish
A crisis has erupted in Edirne over whether the spring service at the St. George Bulgarian Church should be conducted in Bulgarian or Greek. Despite the participants being Bulgarian, the Bulgarian community reacted against the officials of the Rum Patriarchate who insisted that the service must be held in Greek. Dimitri Yotef, Chairman of the Bulgarian Exarchate Orthodox Church Foundation: "A Greek metropolitan here is insisting that the service be conducted in Greek. Yet 200-300 people are attending the service, all of them Bulgarian, not a single Greek. The patriarchate in Istanbul has appointed an Edirne metropolitan here. We brought our own priest. Then they brought a higher-ranking priest over him. We conduct our services in Istanbul in Bulgarian. According to the agreement made in 1945, the service must be held in Bulgarian. Permission is not being given for the service to be conducted in the Bulgarian language. We are not Greek. I, to…
Where's that American orthodox when world needs them the most on topic that should be their relative expertise, I am merely intrigued on this conflict happening
Nobody is reading that
Nobody is interested in drama between Ecumenical Patriarchate and Bulgarian Exarchate in big 2026?
The real question is, why are you
Because it's one of the rare local news here that isn't 'the worst possible news ever'
Or 'the dumbest edict/action ever'
It feels more magazinal and funny
Bulgar Orthodox churches in city are announced to have been closed to mass until resolution of matter
Finally something cool
Finally i needed you here
Wait not as a diss
As in that you are man of the hour
What does the orthodox literature says about this
Well
You are NOT in luck cause I literally don't know why this would happen😭 Usually the service would have some greek but would mostly be in the native language of the area so idk why this turned into an issue.
I mean there is literally no problem doing liturgy in a language you can understand
i would say listen to the highest ranked person there though
usually the answer
Apparently metropolitan insisted on using Greek and public who was Bulgarian opposed it
Dimitri Yotef, chairman of the board of trustees of the Foundation of the Orthodox Churches of the Bulgarian Exarchate in Istanbul and representative of the Bulgarian community in Constantinople, explained the community’s position
"On behalf of the Bulgarian community in Istanbul, we came today to Edirne to celebrate our traditional Divine service. We are the parish and the owners of this church, including the church of Saints Constantine and Helena in Edirne. However, upon our arrival, the priests sent by the Greek Metropolitan of Edirne informed us that we would not be allowed to conduct the service in Bulgarian. Instead, we were told that the service would be celebrated by Greek clergy. We did not agree to this, because this is a Bulgarian church, and we believe the services should be conducted in the Bulgarian language.”

A few Labour MPs saw the tories going through 5 PMs in 3 years and decided that was actually very good and they should try to emulate that
Everyone loved the lettuce
polymarket at 77% chance starmer resigns this year
23% chance of one those "we've got work to do, I have a mandate from the largest ever general election win in recent times for labour, etc" type speechs
Although he sorta already tried that with a speech a few days ago that unveiled no new policies or real changes hoping that would somehow fix things
Pretty good song
It's kinda telling though. Tories had over a decade to fuck shit up before they finally got voted out. Starmer got the mess dumped on him and while he certainly added a lot of fuckuppery himself it's kinda hard to undo all that within the short time he's been around. Yet Brits are like "Hell nah, let's vote for the party of the dude who literally shoved us off the edge"

'in hiding' that 'doesn't want to reveal to their bases', which isn't untrue, but speaks to how two-faced celeb culture is
She is very self-centered as her republican shift is due her wanting to support convicted sex offenders in her life (father, brother, husband), and also due her personal rap beefs with Cardi B and Megan The Stallion committing themselves to Democrats
There's not much real strict political aims beside it no matter what she tries to convince. She is a self-admitted illegal immigrant in 2017, yet she still supports the anti-immigrant guys. (Though i had seen many immigrants hate other immigrants in order to 'be special')

A basket of groceries in Istanbul is now more expensive than in the UK.
︀︀
︀︀I compared two online shopping baskets - 1 from Carrefour for delivery in Istanbul; one from Sainsbury's.
︀︀
︀︀The price of 19 basic items in the UK totalled £44.53.
︀︀
︀︀The price of the 19 basic items in Istanbul totalled 4,425.18 TL / £71.99 at today's exchange rate.
︀︀
︀︀I compared using the cheapest available options and the most similar items/quantities available.
︀︀
︀︀There are a few items that really push up the cost of the grocery basket in Turkey, namely beef and instant coffee (?!). Some goods such as olive oil are roughly the same price as in the UK, while some items such as eggs, milk and onions are quite a bit cheaper in Turkey.
︀︀
︀︀The gross minimum wage in Turkey is 33,030 (£537.88) a month.
︀︀
︀︀The gross minimum wage in the UK is £12.71 an hour for people over 21. Assuming a 35 hour working week, this is £44…
To respond to the criticisms that Carrefour is a premium supermarket (which again, sort of misses the point that a basket of food in Turkey comes up as more expensive than in the UK) I have also done a basket from Waitrose, the "posh" UK supermarket. Again, I chose the cheapest comparable products available on the Waitrose website, which often means the "Essentials" range - from personal experience, these products are very decent and at the very least comparable with the cheapest products you get at Carrefour in Turkey.
︀︀
︀︀Unfortunately for Turkey, it is again cheaper than the Turkish basket, coming out at £55.81, £16.18 cheaper than Carrefour.
︀︀
︀︀The real big jumps in overall cost for Turkey are due to the red meat and instant coffee (again, ?!) prices.
︀︀
︀︀I did not include any luxury items in either basket, such as imported chocolate or alcohol, which from my experience would make the Turkey basket price jump even higher.

- Police Official - Conclusion 1. Kim Soo-hyun has never dated the late Kim Sae-ron during her minor years, 2. He has never had sexual relations with her during her middle school years, 3. The cause of Kim Sae-ron's death is not attributable to Kim Soo-hyun, 4. The KakaoTalk conversation data disclosed at the press conference was fabricated, 5.

︀︀결론
︀︀1. 김수현은 고 김새론의 미성년자 시절 교제한적 없으며,
︀︀2. 중학생 시절 성관계를 가진적 없으며,
︀︀3. 김새론의 사망원인이 김수현에게 있지 않으며,
︀︀4. 기자회견에서 공개한 카카오톡 대화자료는 조작하였으며,
︀︀5. 녹취파일 또한 조작된 허위자료이다.
︀︀6. 고인의 유족들은 핸드폰…
hmm a police coverup?
Or maybe the family really did fabricate evidence, because they had no smoking gun they could catch him with, but it might still have actually happened and they fabricated evidence to try and stop him getting away with it due to lack of evidence?
"Police said Kim Se-ui received 11 screenshots of conversations from the bereaved family of Kim Sae-ron and altered seven parts of the images, including changing the conversation partner’s name to “Kim Soo-hyun.”"
"Police documents from Seoul Gangnam Police Station’s investigation into Kim Se-ui, head of the YouTube channel HoverLab, also known as Garo Sero Institute."
So police are saying the youtube channel the family partnered with used tech (photoshop?) to manipulate images
I guess the police were suspicious if the family refused to submit the original phone data
No, the police are saying the youtuber fabricated this for clicks
That's the tl;dr

Trump has permitted end of Turkish democracy via closure of largest opposition party remaining

The decision came one hour after posting this tweet. Exemplary. Who is with whom. Shame on this country.

A very important development has occurred. Recep and Trump have spoken on the phone. In response, as usual, Trump made a statement saying, "Recep has become a very good ally. I'm very pleased with him."
︀︀On top of that, Trump won't be coming to the NATO meeting in July; Recep is supposedly going to America in June. These haven't been fully confirmed yet, but they're important news.
︀︀In this situation, the likelihood of the nullity decision being uploaded to the system tomorrow has increased. The visit could be a support visit for the CHP operation.
NEW: Canadian Member of Parliament Tamara Jansen welcomes newborn grandson, Charlie Kirk Jansen.
Huge part of the equation.

︀︀Gönül already mentioned this but I bet Orban's loss in Hungary spooked a lot of people and pushed them towards more rapid autocratization. I suspect we're seeing the same thing in the US.

One cannot separate what’s happening inside Turkey from what’s happening globally. What better moment for Erdogan to jail his top rivals and effectively shut down the country’s most popular party than when the US president is praising him and the so-called democratic world is
What I can say is that parties should prepare for non-electoral plans should methods of formal representation fail them or not be available to them
was confused what is "hooters" and looked it up
...that was a mistake

no wonder they said it
time for another distractions
