OMG! This is the funniest thing to come out of the election yet! Watch it when you are depressed from too much assholery on TV.

Pretty Awesome.
They do Trump better than even The Donald

This cheered me up immensely. They aced the syntax (not that it was that hard, considering the source). DJT - uniting the world - the sane parts of it - by being a laughingstock. Though I'd hate to be nearby when he blows up ... again and again and again.

I heard a story on NPR this morning that the Dutch far-right will likely win their general election in March. It's a global disease.

The Dutch government says it wants to help set up an international abortion fund to help families across the world after US President Donald Trump reinstated the so-called Mexico City policy.

Noble.
The Left has done gallant work in this country aborting children of colour at greatly increased disproportionate rates for decades but there are little brown and black babies all across the third world yet to be slaughtered...

Great video, thanks Netherlands.

@ 4, our "Trump" Geert Wilders has a reasonable chance to "win" the parliamentary elections yes, but the Netherlands is not a winner takes all system so even when his "party" (its not a party since it officially has only 1 member, him) becomes the largest party that doesn't mean he will end up in government.
Almost all parties explicitly or implicitly excluded him already as a coalition partner (he wont come anywhere close to a majority) and while maybe some of the right wing parties in the end rather give him a chance over forming a fragile coalition with 5 or more parties (traditionally coalition governments have always been with 2 or 3 parties) or having to deal with the "far" left (populist social democrats of the ex-maoists SP) I dont think it will work out in the negotiations or not longer than for a few weeks again (he already was an "outside the cabinet supporter of a minority government" already from october 2010 to april 2012) as he has radicalized into explicitly unconstitutional positions over the last 2 years.
Wilders wants no power other than absolute power and he wont get that without a coup.

Also, while unprecedented big in the polls Wilders so far always underperformed on election day and while obviously getting more votes than previous far right movements (outside the period during the german occupation) his support in pure "do you like this guy" numbers is not that much higher. So its more a combination of the far-right for the first time actually bothering to show up to vote in significant numbers combined with a fracturing of the 3 traditional ruling parties (the new-labor soc-dems of the PvdA, the libertarian conservatives of the VVD and the christian-democrats of the CDA).
