Your family is in our neighbourhood and in this domestic dispute I'm just wondering if I need to call the police or the abundance.

It was just…. ugh. 😞
It shouldn't come as a surprise.
As part of the CUSMA trade agreement, I think us Canadians and Mexicans are allotted one sigh of disappointment...
Como parte del acuerdo comercial T-MEC, creo que a los canadienses y los mexicanos se nos permite un solo suspiro de decepción...
Too late, I watched it all. It would have been funny if it hadn't been so sad.
Its ... horrible how you treat your elderly in closed wards.
I shall avert my gaze.
Didn't mean to pry, it was just too loud to not notice it.
I'd rather look at our ... increasingly hard-right EU politics ... wait, that can't be right, wtf.
We used to say that conservative politics in the EU would still be considered left in the USA. Well, I‘m not so sure about that anymore.
Biden’s immigration policy is honestly a wet dream for most right extremists in Europe
I mean, in previous years we did pass some environmental laws (like banning internal combustion cars), not as much or as strict as I hoped, but change was there. Sure hope that doesn't all get undone 'to boost the economy' (in the USA sense - so help the existing big corps to boost their profits & do nothing for the majority).
Hell, I rally like the vast majority of EU regulations (various directives and delegated acts) that were passed & are being constantly updated (to keep up with the times/trends & tech) over the last 20 years, I think its a rally good balance between protecting the people whilst at the same time working with the market to actually achieve a meaningful & painless change over several years. That's why we have representatives. The added "bureaucracy" as companies call it is just extra reporting & testing (to confirm compliance with standards). This benefits us all & is of unbelievably marginal cost when you look at the economy, regardless of what lobbyists say.
The US far right actually made a project of helping the far right in Europe.
I’ll just leave this here… :’-)
And there's quite a few missing!
The one on Greenland, for example
And the surveillance station in the middle of Australia (pine gap)
What? there's nothing important in Pine Gap.
Even the Pentagon doesn't know where they are!
How is this fascist right wing shit show not a global debacle? Putin, Netenyahu, Bolsanaro, Trump... Italy & Germany both rolling right. North Korea (of course) and Xinny the Pooh.
Does Britain's finally dumping the Tories (after a decade & a half+) make them one of the few to break left at this time on the global stage? {Something about broken clocks being right from time to time.}
No I wouldn't think that about the UK. Tories shifted massively rightwards over the past decade and they are really losing most voters to Reform - a hard right party, so they are simply not hard-right enough for most voters, meanwhile Labour has shifted massively right to occupy the space Cameron-style neocons were in before.
The right win in the long run because if labour wins, the dynamic will be of that between Cameron-esque conservatives under Starmer Labour and hard-right conservatives under Reform/UKIP/whatever Farage party as the two major parties. This is the final form of the overton window shift, on which the UK and US led the world on in 2016.
If anything the lib Dems - if you take their manifesto at face value - are far more progressive than Labour at this point and don't adopt the "managed decline" style of governance.
This is where the UK FPTP system might actually work well, Reform could get as many as 17% of votes, ahead of Tory 15% and become the 2nd largest party, and yet end up with like one parliament seat because they dont end up with a majority in any one county this time around.
The only hope then is that Starmer is just secretly a really good guy who won't say so because the tory media would eviscerate him on culture war shit, that he survives the power struggle of a labour seat supermajority and kicks out the likes of Duffield and Streeting.
Poland and Hungary also did fairly well, if I'm not mistaken
But think of all the popcorn we are able to consume watching you shitshow. This is way more entertaining than the usual movies, series, and shows that you produce!
Well I suppose the answer I'd give is that because of how right-wing the US is compared to much of the Western world, it becomes a patient zero for whatever the far-right is cooking up - which inevitably influences far-right groups in other Western countries
Word.
Putin planted his seed with Trump in his greatest enemy (democracy/America). It quickly caught on & has spread globally.
Hundreds of Billions of dollars in US defense hasn't done a thing to halt the attacks on democracy Putin has wraught with a few million spent on his troll army.
The man can't carry out a physical attack for shit, but his cyber attacks have no equal, only willing collaborators (Murdoch et al, the maga army).
Putin planted his seed with Trump
Please don't post your fanfics here 🤮🤮
I follow closely what is happening in the US from France because even though we have a very different culture I still think US politics is a preview of what's to come here.
Right now I consider we are at the step where our media are crumbling and becoming unable to properly inform us. A step that has been reached a couple of years ago in the US in my opinion.
The next step will probably be our own coup attempt in a few years and a steady increase in the division of the country and far right movements.
America sneezes, the world catches a drone strike or something
As a French tho, do watch the debate between Gabriel Attal, Merdella and Manuel Bombard. See how Bompard (the left wing candidate) politely wipes the floor with both shitbags.
Is it the official French stance to omit the Oxford comma?
It's only an Oxford comma if it's from the region of Oxford. Otherwise it's just sparkling interpunction.
Correct, no comma before the last element if it is preceded by a conjunction (e.g. "et", that is "and" in English) in French
In german media there is so much content about america even I sometimes get confused whoch country I actually live in.
At least you can tell where something happens by place names, I get headlines '12 shot in Manchester gun fight' or 'Birmingham man kills 8 in roadrage incident' and there's just no way of telling it's America... OK, well those examples are obvious but the point stands.
They are conveniently placing flags everywhere, to help your memory.
What is the over under on the return of Hilldog?
I find it almost impossible to believe they will continue running Biden, but then again I did not expect them to let him run again from the start.
I think they'd nominate Newsom over Clinton tbh.
Seems all but impossible they'll switch candidates now. There's not a mechanism for it. It would have to be something like Biden having a major medical issue or dying.
I think we all just watched Biden have a major medical issue
I would love not knowing about any debate but lemmy is like: Nope you'll read American "news" if you want to or not.
So next time keep your national humiliation fetish at private please
Indeed. I created a Lemmy account the moment I saw an opportunity to block US-specific communities. But alas, US content makes it onto other, more general communities as well (like politics on the memes community)
I'd rather drink bleach than watch this shitshow.
I will keep repeating this, Biden will be the reason Trump gets reelected. If he loves his country he needs to leave right fucking now. Democrats like him and Clinton are addicted to power. Bernie Sanders could have beaten Trump in both election but the democrats circles of power made sure to get the candidate they wanted. Old fool.
Sanders wouldn't stand a chance. Too many moderate Democrats would be terrified of the scary socialist madman.
Nope, you can't stand there for generations going "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!" Then get shitty when we do, we want to watch you drive that burning bus into the the ocean.
