How does going nuclear affect the sea levels? What is the draw back, climate wise, with nuclear power?
I’m a fan of nuclear power and think it’s an effective stop gap until renewables are 100% viable for our needs.
Geert’s big thing is immigration and asylum policy. If he can move the needle on anything it’ll be that.
He’s also, believe it or not, a right wing liberal, which is not an oxymoron over there. He favors some serious bolstering of the social safety net. That’s probably pie in the sky too.

Sounds like they have had enough of the multicultural experiment and green thinking w/o nuclear power.
Only a quarter of voters made his party the largest and this is a coalition. Pretty sure any sea change on Dutch climate policy puts his government at risk.

I mean Jeys charisma in his entrance alone is apparent as the new firefly leader in the clubhouse 😆
Between him and LA Knight it’s a good thing they’re in separate brands or they might wear out a crowd with their walk outs alone.

Well I hate that he didn’t go over but to a degree I get it lol. Ilja and Gunther doesn’t need to happen right now and Jey is white hot over with the fans.
The IWC marks and their venom over Jey and this result is hilarious to me. This was also only Ilja’s third match since his call up, so no he isn’t being “buried” lol. I mean on one hand yes Ilja and Gunther would have been incredible given what we’ve seen in the past like their NXT UK match.
On the other hand that’s not a match you do in the semis of the KOTR on RAW. That’s a match that deserves a big 4 PPV and a proper build.
If there’s one thing the IWC doesn’t seem to understand it’s that “the business” is well, a business, and the goal is to make money. “Bangers” are only part of that.
So yeah I get that Jey is a very limited, “4 moves of doom” wrestler and all that. His wrestling is his weak point. But what’s he good at? Cutting promos, telling a story, getting the fans invested and selling a s*** ton of merch.
If you aren’t impressed by his work right now get ready for the new Bloodline story when Roman comes back as the Noble Demon lesser of two evils face, likely with Jey at his side under a sort of Bloodline Wolfpac deal lol.

Careless error by the police in this instance. They need to be held to a standard and heads need to roll (figuratively). Pathetic display of policing.
They need to be willing to die to uphold the second amendment is what it comes down to.

The population growth issue is something that gets close to no attention, yet it impacts economic growth in a major way. We aren't the first major country to deal with it, but it is something we have never had to deal with before.
Our band aid there is immigration.

Evidence against him seems pretty strong. Hope he gets thrown out of congress and gets the book thrown at him.
Oh there’s no question lol. He’s simply guilty as s***. How he got away with it for so long is laughable.

Only grabbed three, but man Dub... you got some wild takes in this thread.
I generally like your posts but this is, kinda off the rails.
There should be some kind of rule for telling someone they’re wrong without spelling out why.

I’m convinced at this point that Gunther is allergic to bad matches. Dude just can’t miss.

like your right to free speech, or your right to remain silent.
Neither of which kills with a flick of the wrist and the pull of a trigger. You’re comparing apples and airplanes. Not all rights can be inherently equivocated. It’s fallacy to try and do so. Well meaning people are dying or killing through no inherent fault of their own because there’s no squaring that circle.
I would argue it’s an inherent result. No normal person wants to pick between dying or killing someone under the kind of pressure the police (law ENFORCEMENT, mind you) has to weigh with mere seconds, usually less, to decide.
We did to ourselves. Until we come up with police drones (lol) this will be the result.

It’s patently lazy to be going “hurr durr bill of rahts second amendment should have waited a second or two to gauge intent blah blah blah blah blah” when you see your death in palm of someone’s hand should they will it at the drop of a hat and EXPECT a human, errors in judgement, faults and all that all humans have, to put his life on the line and get it right 100% if the time.
Cops are human beings. Weigh that carefully.

Thing is, yeah, I very much sympathize with the cop here. The ACAB crowd was always going to have a field day with this one, but people just don’t ******* get that the cops here are in a s*** situation too. We, as a society, have put them in an absolutely awful situation over the phrase “the right to keep and bear arms” that was written when rifling was a novelty and semi automatic fire was a a pipe dream being applied in a day and age when said arms are instant death if you choose option B rather than option A.
The deputy made a bad decision that was clearly in error after the fact. ****, he literally killed a person. I can’t imagine what he’s dealing with right now. Personally, that would wreck my psyche for the rest of my days.
But feel free to Monday Morning QB that. I just can’t.

This officer will now lose his job and serve 10-20 years in prison. I hate it for his family as well, but the situation should have never happened.
**** that noise he will not. The city will pay a settlement, but a conviction? Get your head out of your ass, counsel.

Watch the body cam footage and tell me what justifies shooting him 6 times in the chest.
If I answer the door with a gun visible and it’s another armed human being there, I don’t expect it to end well. Damn the legality. Use your ******* brain.

This officer had no probable cause to enter the apartment.
He didn’t enter the apartment. Hell the exigent circumstances didn’t even exist for him to force entry. The victim had no obligation to even open the door. But he did.
And while you might not think a handgun in hand is a threat, I do. Don’t answer the door with a gun visible. Best case scenario you might scare the everloving shoot out of the postman or some kids trying to sell Girl Scout cookies. Worst case you encounter another armed human being who will respond to the threat.

Did the video show if the gun was loaded and/or cocked? And if it was a revolver or semiautomatic?
Semi automatic handgun of unknown manufacture.

That was legal for him to own and was not pointed at the officer. Should anyone holding a weapon capable of causing harm be shot on site? This situation wasn't an officer involved in some sort of altercation. Watch the body cam video. The guy opened the door and the officer immediately began shooting. The police officer could not have legally entered the man's home, but he had the right to shoot to kill?
The officer was responding to what he was told was a domestic. A very dangerous call. No rational human being reacts well to a gun.
yeah yeah “cops should be held to a higher standard” blah blah blah whatever.
Police are human beings, not automatons. People are going to be shot when brandishing deadly weapons. There’s literally no preventing it.
Again, it’s all a big dumb machine that eats fear and sh**s tragedy.
