My theory on Trump is that the guy bullshited everyone all his life and now, although all his words are scrutinized, continues bullshiting out of reflex.

From a different article:

“Of course, it will be open to both sexes,” added the prime minister. “I do not want to belittle the role of women here in any way, but war – due to physical conditions – is associated more with men.”

“Agitators” gives me Romania pre 1989 vibes.

This. Today I switched all my investments to Euro/EU only companies and funds, everything that has USD or US companies in the portfolio was a no-go.

ALL HAIL THE GREAT EYE!

Is that the FIFA World Cup in the background?

In my country, a couple of years some neighbors got together and fixed a pothole on their street. They ended up getting fined by the local authorities for damaging public property…

So Dacia Spring?

Will trade sheep for spices or sugar.

Cabral?

The basement is for storing your winter supplies like jars of jam, pickled… anything… and the various alcoholic concoctions. Some have also a room for storing bikes and strollers.

And the drying room for clothes

Yeah mid 1990’s in Romania where the best, crazy inflation, 70% of the population still had toitlets in the garden, one colored TV per apartment building, those years were the bomb. Would totally do again.

Ahm, he actually is half American…

I think the purpose of the re-enrolment is to get Georgescu out of the game, same as they did with Șoșoacă in July. They will probably reject him based on the money thing from the first round.

When it comes to the actual votes, that is going to be a shitshow. A lot of people who voted for him had no idea what they vote for, they only chose him because he didn’t have any of the major parties to back him up. Funny enough, sever years ago AUR proposed him as prim minister, but that’s how Romanie works, we read about the candidates only after the elections.

Anyway, since he got in the second round, Georgescu got a lot of free publicity so now people are openly supporting him.

What migtt happen is that his votes will go towards Simion, and then we will be in the same situation as we are now, just with a football hooligan fascist, instead of a post-comunist fascist.

Tiktok is only one part of it.

• according to Romania electoral law you need to declare who is financing your campaign
• Georgescu ran videos on tiktok without disclosing who pays for it (or if he paid)
• Georgescu repeatedly said that he doesn’t pay anything for the campaign
• the campaign ran by Georgescu was paid by some crypto-bro without dubious ties
• Georgescu and cripto-bro used 20k fake accounts to run the campaign (as per info from tiktok themselves)
• Georgescu ran his campaign in election day (ilegal in romania)

Now the fun part:

• Georgescu’s bodyguards are known Romanian neo-nazies that are French Legion veterans and that have ties to the Wagner group

Mediocre fun crap, please.

For that you use planks because a) they are cheap and can be reused b) styrofoam won’t hold back a couple of tons of concrete.
