Yes. But penguin island was not.
Now watch Trump lift sanctions against Russia and send the most noteworthy opposition to that to the El Salvadoran concenration camp.
The only silver lining in how big the last protest was. If momentum continues in the right direction we may either win, or put him under enough pressure to limit his options, and ensure an election again in 2028.
Those darn penguins and their snarky little salesmen
A third presidential term?
He has repeatedly openly threatened to not step down and I've seen a few too many of his voters express support for it.
He did mention during his election campaign
"christian come vote. You don't need to vote in four years, it'll be fixed"
Whatever that was supposed to mean, but it is concerning
The time for concern is over.
Either you're already aware of what he's doing and either pissed about it or fine with it.
Or you're very, very, incredibly, stupendously, ridiculously and extraordinarily dense.
I'll choose dense. I get how you'd like to presume that was about current events. And it very well might be.
Fortunately I don't live there, and I don't think I ever will
I get how you’d like to presume that was about current events. And it very well might be.
What the hell do you mean to say by this?
Exactly as it says, I don't read or write between the lines. But I can break it down to make it simpler if that helps:
Trump said: "you wont need to vote next election, it'll be fixed". And now he's trying to become a sort of dictator.
It could be that he was talking about becoming a dictator, but it could also have been about something else, or nothing entirely. But I do understand if you would like to assume he was actually talking about that.
I think you might genuinely be retarded.
Perhaps, how about you try to explain why? I tried simple english and you still act confused
"Resident of the Unit" has a good ring to it here.
🤡
I just realised Switzerland isn't party of EU. I keep confusing Sweden with Switzerland for some reason, they both start with Sw so maybe that.
This reminds me of a video where Europeans were shown a map of the USA and had to point at the state the interviewer asked and vice versa. So the interviewer asks someone in the US and he put Sweden and Switzerland next to each other in Scandinavia and than later this interviewer asks about Slovakia (I think) and the guy goes "well, here are all the s-countries so it must be there somewhere" I laughed my ass of for real.
I mean, we've mostly heard about the uninhabited and rarely visited Australian island that got an entry, right? Apparently the penguins are cutting unfair trade deals.
The EU should become a country and it was over 95 years late.
Time to make it true?
I'd fight you.
Eurasia here we come!
I consider myself hardcore pro European (Euro-patriotic if you will) but I think one of the reasons we're still standing is how decentralised this arrangement is. Poland seemed lost to propaganda but managed to bounce back. So could Slovakia or even Hungary. Infiltrating the EU is so much harder compared to a single, large nation because of that. It's also a pretty effective tool against imperialism in our own ranks. If you take a look at what other countries are doing it seems to me in comparison we've got a good thing going.
I agree, but there's definitely some more integration that can be done. An initially opt-in military organisation would be great because it doesn't really make sense for individual EU countries to do military alone. We should never fight with other countries in the block (and a military organisation would make that impossible), and it doesn't make sense that the EU wouldn't protect other member states.
I guess we might get that for free when we inherit NATO...

I love being part of the EU, but fuck no we shouldn't band together as a single country.

For trade purposes, the EU acts as a single country. You can't make trade agreements with a single EU country.
Still not one country. It's Just wrong (the description..)
From all the things to be point out about this idiot, this one must be the most pedantic.
Ye true. But i dont care what the clown is saying. Cause nobody cares about clown jokes. I just thought the people behind are a bit smarter, who created this graphic...
Then we could agree to just ignore him? This is borderline rage bait and gives him attention.
I can appreciate a tightening of focus, but I hope you don't actually think taking our eyes off Trump will help us.
Of course not, but this discussion is pedantic and pointless, and a distraction of what evil thongs he's doing.
Every country is free to make it's own agreements internationally. But it doesn't make a lot of sense. Bargaining as the EU instead of an individual country gives you so much more bargaining power.
You say that, but this is a timeline where California is negotiating its own trade agreements to get around the bullshit in OP's picture. Anything could happen.
California can do that?
Edit from le chat mistral:
So he doesn't give them anything, he's just asking to keep trading with them
"Yes, that's correct. Governor Newsom's strategy primarily involves advocating for California's economic interests and encouraging international trading partners to maintain or even expand their trade relationships with California, despite the federal tariffs. He is essentially asking these partners to consider exempting California-made products from retaliatory tariffs, emphasizing the state's economic stability and reliability as a trading partner. This approach does not involve offering specific concessions or incentives but rather leverages California's significant market power and economic influence to negotiate more favorable trade conditions."
California isn't doing anything, just asking politely to be exempt from our tariffs on USA.

Taiwan and China are also listed as separate countries.
New headline. Trump tariffs confirm Taiwan sovereignty.
