When people explain Trump helping Russia by saying Putin has "dirt" on him, they're absolving Trump of responsibility. In blackmail, the target is coerced to act against their will. I don't think the "dirt" theory intends to argue Trump's a victim and would otherwise be acting better. But it does.
When there are riots, it is necessary to strengthen the security arm. On Sunday evening, Defense Minister Theo Francken (N-VA) expressed the wish to create "a gendarmerie 2.0 under the supervision of the interior." #Sécurité #Emeutes (translated)

Teresa Gómez stated that Sánchez was confident about winning the elections and remaining in power, as she claimed he had an ace up his sleeve. She wrote that The Objective had published evidence of an alleged fraud of "extraordinary gravity" and asserted that her colleague Isabel Durán had done commendable work investigating it. Gómez said that Sánchez had deployed Tezanos at the CIS to inflate the polls and justify the fraud, and Gabilondo, as the Ombudsman, to convey a resolution from the Supreme Court that, according to her, would allow Pumpido to complete "the coup." She added that the investigation was not over and that they would publish more cases, information, and evidence that week. She also defended that journalists should oversee the power and expose possible abuses. #Democracia #FraudeElectoral #PeriodismoInvestigativo (translated)

"The US conservative movement is engaged in a nationwide effort to reverse child-labor laws and reinstitute child labor" sounds like a crazy leftie conspiracy theory, but ... yeah. It's real.
The only other logical explanation for Trump going all in to support Putin right now (apart from the Kompromat/Krasnov theory) is that he needs Russian hacking/information warfare help in the mid terms. Which just underlies how much they helped in the past
Prince Joachim, who has been a reservist for a long time, has participated in all his recalls and has never been compensated for this. The bill being examined aims to rectify this situation.

The bill being examined aims to rectify this situation." #FamilleRoyale #Belgique #Lois (translated)
