Paramount Member	Wed Jan 01 02:43:29 Happy new year :o) Professor: It is certain that US democracy will collapse Staffan I Lindberg, professor of political science at the University of Gothenburg, is 99 percent certain that democracy in the US will collapse with Donald Trump in power. – For me, it is inconceivable that this will not be noticed more. What will the consequences be? There are almost no protective walls left, he tells DN. According to Lindberg, the development has already begun. Trump has gotten rid of opponents within his own party and ensured that there are plenty of loyalists in Congress who are ready to back him on all points. In addition, the president-elect has made it clear that he wants to purge everyone who is not on his side in the Department of Justice. http://omn...s-demokrati-gar-under/a/KMqvgy

Daemon Member	Thu Jan 02 09:11:32 Same procedure as every year in Germany http://www...new-year-s-fireworks-accidents Five people died across Germany and a police officer was seriously injured from accidents linked to the powerful fireworks Germans traditionally set off to celebrate the new year, police said in a preliminary count. Germans celebrate the new year with a particularly intense usage of fireworks, which spurs a recurrent debate about outlawing the most powerful devices, given the high number of injuries each year, as well as the pollution and noise they cause. Some 13 law enforcement officers were injured as a result of the accidents this year, including one seriously, police spokesman, Florian Nath, said. Some 330 people were detained in the capital Berlin overnight, police said, adding that contrary to previous years, "there were no major violence or incidents". Near Paderborn in the northwest region of North Rhine-Westphalia, a 24-year-old man died after detonating a pyrotechnic rocket, according to local police, who believe the victim had made the device himself. In Oschatz in Saxony, a 45-year-old man died of serious head injuries when he set fire to a "pyrotechnic bomb". According to the police, it was a powerful F4 category firework, which requires a special permit to purchase. In the same eastern region of Saxony, a 50-year-old man died on the spot from head injuries in the town of Hartha when he tried to detonate a pyrotechnic pipe bomb, a police spokesperson said. Near Hamburg in the north, a 20 year-old man died lighting a pyrotechnic firework. Finally, in Kremen near Berlin, a fifth man died from an "inappropriate manipulation" of pyrotechnics, according to local police. Three other people in the region were seriously injured in similar circumstances.
patom Member	Thu Jan 02 14:39:11 Here, hold my beer. A few years ago we had a young fella in Calais Maine that decided it would be a good idea to set off a rocket from atop of his head. He'll never do that again. In fact he hasn't done anything again.
Rugian Member	Thu Jan 02 16:10:32 Wishing you all a happy and prosperous 2025. With God Emperor Donald Trump poised to lead the US into a glorious new age of unimaginable wealth and power, the Americans here should be ecstatic with anticipation over what the future holds for us. Rejoice!
