Some of them will be happy when they don't have to spend money for this war, but yes they will blame Trump when it comes to a negotiated peace with territorial concessions. I strongly disagree that the EU is in decline and as of "27 different opinions". A bit in sleepmode thanx to vdL's absence of managing capacities while she fired everyone with a strong profile and severely reduced the commissioners' portfolios. And then got "sick" and hid away for weeks. (To avoid her lawsuit?) I also agree with LCI that Meloni is gonna play a crucial role and, ...

  I guess from now on women will flock toNY & Cali for their abortion needs. Esp. if the abortion pill gets banned under the new administration. NY state law passed yesterday might get expenses covered from out of state citizens. Obama totally missed the boat on this when he had the chance. A very, very inefficient president.

  ^ Clearly. Personally I expect a president Vance before the 2 years mark, I don’t thinkTrump can hold it much longer. What he really wants is a pardon. ^^^ The tarifswar is upon us for sure. ^^ As for the next dem candidate, I love Buttigieg, but won't rural America find him "arrogant" (not to mentioned, gay)? Klobuchar? Please not the Ken doll from California. Edited by - Cherrybomb on 11/7/2024 11:17:06 PM

  ^ The EU parliament, not me [;)], panicked post Trump (alleged) assassinationattempt. Von der Leyen can take care of Orban. Super clever move what Zelensky tweeted to Trump immediately after Trump conceded. I was impressed. Trump's re-election completely changes the power play in theEU: Less influence for KajaKallas, the celebrated, hawkish Estonian new EU commissioner for foreign affairs & security, in a diminished portfolio compared to her precedessor Borrell. Big win for Meloni, who's anti-Putin but Trump-friendly and could handlehim in very interesting ways.

  Sometimes, when really tired. I've slept in a fancy blouse (but no pants) a couple times after a long conference that took all day.

There are already a bunch of EU bubble journalists on BlueSky, though not really active there (yet). Mastodon, not interested. Not exactly interactive. I'm on BlueSky for a few days now. A little bit dead, no arts or sports (they're all over @ Instagram), a few people from the EU bubble with, hilariously, maybe 35 followers each, ergo a very different immediacy. Twitter is still where it's @.
