News / Time to clean the swamp - dePiSification of Poland [324]

who began the entire constitutional court

The two extra judges that PO promoted to the Tribunal weren`t accepted by the Parliament. Nothing happened.

But the remaining 3 judges appointed and accepted by the Parliament were rejected by PIS President Duda. Instead, he appointed his own PiS loyal judges. It was unconstitutional and all the decrees of the Tribunal which included those illegals are also illegal and can be lifted by the new parliament. If they will be, it remains a mystery right now.

I expect the PiS criminals who led to the situation that Poland is forced to pay fines to the EU for breaking the rule of law will be severely punished for causing financial losses on a gigantic scale. The fines amount to hundred millions euros.

- the judiciary where PIS created illegal institutions infested with their supporters whose main aim was to remove independent judges who obeyed the rule of law.

Right now some gangsters` supporters and stooges are abandoning the ship on their own. They smelled the rat. I mean the rat in the sack they will get from the new gov.

Yes, Kosciuszko Insurrection was badly timed - Poles lost and the third partition took place. The tsarina Catherine the Great died soon afterwards and her son, who had a huge sentiment for Poles, took power. He freed Kosciuszko from captivity. But it was too late coz Poland had ceased to exist.

You can easily buy lanterns at stalls in front of cemeteries. The second pic shows sth I saw only in the countryside - traditional flowery wicker wreaths to hang on traditional metal crosses. That was a popular custom decades ago when lanterns weren`t in such wide use as today.

Nope, I saw it first time in an article about Warsaw. I would have never guessed what it was.

the cover picture of the figure is identified inside the book as Kosciuszko.

Yes, I guessed it. The atypical rendering of him when dismounted is sth that attracted my attention.

News / Incredible news from Poland - The president shaved his moustache! [88]

Workers repairing the street in a big city had to mind a car left by a forgetful owner. The site became a tourist attraction for a while until the car was taken away at night, probably by the owner.

Life / Funeral Traditions in Poland [68]

Grave sites next to major aisles in the country cemetery are usually bigger than others - king size, sort of. I wonder why. I suppose such sites cost more so people who lease them can afford bigger tombstones. And fancier as well.

it will likely collapse before it can implement any significant changes.

No, it will collapse after implementing the major changes. After the parties involved have nothing serious to do and get bored with each other. hahahaha

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

Abortion is absolutely legal if the woman is in danger of dying in Poland

Legal doesn`t mean accessible coz doctors refuse to help due to the intimidating atmosphere created by rightists.

The Left

Yes, the Left will be aggressive coz they lost the most of all. But Donald Tusk, that genius, will contain them.

If all 3 fail to result in a vote of confidence for a prime minister's cabinet

Why 3 fails if there is a majority for the opposition gov??? :):):)

That`s why I said: rightist "democracy." When they are in power, it is absolutely OK. When sb else, it is not OK and they demand earlier elections.

Clean this swamp to the very bottom! this is my new motto which I am going to repeat very often, it seems.

triggering parliament dissolution and early elections.

That`s "democracy" by rightists. :):):)
As I said in another thread, they have learnt nothing after the lost elections.
Worse, they still refuse to learn.
That is why the swamp has to be definitely cleaned up to the very bottom. :):):)

Everybody is waiting for Duda`s move.

Life / Custom plates in Poland [103]

insequitur

There are hundreds, thousands, millions of companies which offer the same product or service to people. You remember the company better after you see their custom plates.

Advertising is the key to business success, remember.

Hence the quotation marks.

Polish "Rambo" in the forest killed his 6-year-old son and dog with a knife.

Stupid name for a thread. Rambo didn`t kill children, he killed bad guys. Major difference.
