Get it? Like wanting a divorce from the dude you married because he is a jerk. You want to be two separate people once more. As for American history which so many Americans learned watching movies or programs on TV, France indeed helped colonists win the Revolutionary War as a sort of payback on England for the French and Indian War. Then, the French decided to do a similar deal in their own country by ejecting royalty.

And the whole thing occurred because Colonial Navy was capturing French ships and stealing their gold, causing the UK to step in to protect the Colonies meaning the UK had to raise taxes which the Yanks didn't like, even though they created the situation in the first place, and then typical France decided to ally themselves with the instigator of the war just to screw over Britain.

By Elon Musk To Increase Congress Pay While Laying Off Tens Of Thousands

Each congress member gets paid the same in one MONTH what someone on social security gets paid in one YEAR! That means Bob, a paramedic who worked for 15 years at a private ambulance company and volunteered at his local fire department gets diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's disease and can't work. Bob has no choice but to get on disability, a program he's been paying into his entire working life. Bob is now paid less than $1400 a month. That's just under $17,000 a year. Every member of congress is currently paid $176,000 a YEAR. That means Bob's income for the entire YEAR equals close to the same as 1 MONTH of pay for each congress member. Read that again and give it a good think!

Don't know how that works in the US. But where I live, certain jobs have an age limit due to the nature of the job. These are physically and/or mentally challenging, and require 100% fitness on all levels.

To Have Freedom Of Speech And Freedom Of Expression
Earonn - 10 months ago
"Land of the free". Yeah, free gun shots in the face of your 8 year old maybe. Let's get that clear: the USA's main problem isn't Trump. Trump is the pus-filled boil. Their main problem is their hubris and their blind hurrah-patriotism that causes their refusal to really work on their issues. It's hard, I get it - Germany lived through such a phase of realising what a s**t you are. But you get out at the other end much stronger and better.

I think the bigger problem is the oligarchy capitalizing on racism and fear and buying political access to squash collective organizing and the expansion of the social safety net, which only leads to a death spiral of insularity/isolationism-racism-and even fewer rights to the non-wealthy.

Can't see how that could ever lead to someone growing up and hating the USA for helping in the mass murder of their family, and going to take revenge. No chance at all. Don't worry, USA, you don't have to do anything: in 4 years Trump will peacefully lay down power and nothing bad will ever come out of it. / s (Honestly, guys, aren't you the least afraid of the future?)

1. "alternative facts" classic line from his first term, anti-vaxxer in his cabinet. 2. Rampant hatred/lies about immigrants (ahem, basically all the non-whites). 3. just another day in MAGAt land. 4. "elite" here meaning whoever pledges absolute loyalty to him and/or gives him a buttload of money. 5. Project 2025. 6. Panama Canal, Canada, Greenland, Gaza Strip, renaming an international body of water, "they're eating the dogs and cats," etc. 7. pathetic attempt to appease his buddy Putin by trying to vilify Ukraine for being invaded by Russia again, lie after lie about NATO, the ICC, etc. Could it possibly be the orange crybaby jeebus?

The trick of calling the Nazis "socialists" is over 80 years old. And still right wingers fall for it or use it themselves. That's how either stupid or nasty they are.
Verena 10 months ago
They originally started off as NSdAP - Nationalsozialistische deutsche Arbeiterpartei = national-socialistic German workers party. Not to be confused with the SPD - Sozialdemokratische Partei = social-democratic party, also a workers party. Many members of the latter ended in concentration camps.

To Hide Disgruntled Constituents
Shannon Donnelly 10 months ago
Town halls, by definition, are open to anyone who lives in the town. They aren’t meant to be political venues but are meant for those of the community to voice any issues they have. The fact that politicians have turned these community meetings into political events is the problem. The crisis is that they’ve now taken it upon themselves to physically remove people who speak up and disagree with them using private security that they have no right to use. Blatant first amendment violation along with with what should be a*****t since these are supposed to be public meetings and the “private” security company has no right to be there.

If this measles s**t doesn't get better, Europe will have to demand proof of vaccination from American tourists like at Covid times. I don't want our immunocompromised people die because the USA don't get their f****d up antiscientists under control. Sacrifice your own children if it makes you happy but f**k off from ours.
nicholas nolan 10 months ago
Europe has higher measles rates. All of the Americas(that's both continents, mind) have been free of endemic measles since 2023(Brazil being the last certified, the US first certified in 2000). That may change, because of antivaxxers, of course, but there's still hope. MMR rates in Kindergarteners in my state of Virginia, for example, are now back up over the 95% needed for herd immunity.

To Trade On Inside Information As An Elected Official
michael Chock 10 months ago (edited)
Ecolab is a terrible, predatory company. Their employment information line hangs up on you if you request accommodations with your application. They offer free legal consultations to all their employees, that benefit is revoked if your legal issue is disabilities. As a former employee, I reported ab use ive behavior to HR, HR told me to get a different job. Their negligence inflicted me with a disability, they ghosted me, cut off access to all my employee resources. They exploited the law as much as possible to avoid accountability, even going as far as manipulating income reporting to reduce insurance payouts. When I requested my employee file, the didn't send it. I had to get the labor department to force them to send it. Don't even ask how they treat their "smaller" customers.
Shannon Donnelly 10 months ago
This sort of thing has been going on for years on both sides because it would require Congress to pass a law against themselves saying they can’t do this this kind of c**p- along with other ways they personally financially benefit from their positions- and every single time they get the opportunity, that flat-out refuse. If that doesn’t scream of their corruption, I don’t know what does. Same goes for the Supreme Court. If you aren’t willing to apply ethics rules to yourselves that you’ve already imposed on all other courts in the country, then there’s obviously a corruption problem.
