The Copenhagen Criteria - lock stock and barrel.

Sometimes more, but not less

A country can’t vote itself into the EU. It can only apply.

A clear explanation of why it is so important for the EU to strengthen its unity. If it doesn’t, the US will take advantage of the relative weakness of the individual member states.

"Durch die Veröffentlichung der Epstein-Files wird endgültig klar, dass es ein Netzwerk - der amerikanischen und europäischen Rechten (MAGA, Bannon, Farage, Le Pen, etc.) - mit Russland, - dem Silicon Valley und - der Crypto-Industrie gibt, ...

Don't forget:

Odds are pretty good that Donald Trump is a pedophile.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

DO NOT forget about the Epstein files.

It's simple, like Nancy has warned us, with Trump, all roads lead to Putin. So Trump's use of the childish excuse that b/c he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, he's going to conquer Greenland & alienate NATO to such an extent that they kick America out of it, has been Putin's lifelong dream.

The Carney doctrine Open comment thread on the PM's Davos speech

Here is the full text of Carney's speech. Very much worth reading.

Europe is working on a package to support Arctic security.

And at the heart of this will be the fundamental principle:

it is for sovereign people to decide their own future.

🇺🇦YEAR 4/DAY 331 of Russia's 2nd illegal invasion of Ukraine. Russia is the aggressor. It's obvious. Donald Trump refuses to admit it. Shame on Republicans for supporting him.

Leaving NATO at a time like this would be absolutely nuts.

Arctic security can only be achieved together.

This is why the proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies.

The EU and US have agreed to a trade deal last July.

A deal is a deal.

And when friends shake hands, it must mean something.

Greenlanders in tears, Ukrainians die, Kremlin in joy: Sowing discord in West is Putin's core idea - Euromaidan Press Moscow deeply interested in US-EU conflict: Greenland dispute weakens Ukraine's support base, says the expert.

…but without EU citizens getting their rights back and without UK citizens contributing.

Why on earth would this be okay?

He wants rights that even EU citizens don’t have and it’s our Union and we contribute.

It is entitlement/exceptionalism and it is profoundly anti EU.

The UK was better off in the EU and Europe was better off with the UK in it.

All of this Trump driven chaos underlines that and you can practically hear Putin rubbing his hands in Moscow.

WE have deliberately weakened ourselves, our security and our region for absolutely no good purpose at all.

It's 25 days past the deadline to release the Epstein files.

Trump Administration Draws Up New Legal Justification for Raid on Maduro The Justice Department’s opinion is expected to say the operation was lawful because it was part of a law-enforcement action.

I was a White House lawyer and this is not how it works.

You don’t draw up a new legal justification *after* you conduct the attack.

It proves what we know: Their attitude is “F- you to the law. We do whatever we want.” Illegal, unamerican, and dangerous. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Let the English exceptionalists scream into the void. They’ll calm down in a decade or two and then we can begin a dialogue. Trying to converse with someone who is screaming is bound to fail.

#DEYANKIFICATION needs to be trending.

America really does have a five‑alarm fire in the White House: a president who openly says the only authority that can stop him is “my own morality. My own mind,” while standing on a record of criminal convictions, financial scams, and armed resource grabs abroad

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred.
It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

Release the full and un-redacted Epstein files.

Remember the Epstein files, lol? Yeah, we’re never seeing those.

The obvious implication is that this justifies killing her. These people are simply evil.
