Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Good for Spain. Now just eject all americans and bar them from entry

Spain should return the favor by seizing Trump crime family assets in their country (if any) and imposing economic sanctions on the US.

Thy should invite him for a party and arrest him for fucking kids.

The EU should cut off trade with US.

[–] madde@feddit.org 8 points 9 hours ago

I mean that would be the result if the orange idiot goes through with his announcement, as the EU has a unified trade policy to protect their member states of attacks like that.

This is not how the EU works..

It is, nominally, not how the US works either.

[–] PumpkinSkink@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

This is really what I'm wondering. Like, he definitely doesn't understand this, but since when has "not understanding something" stopped Trump?

[–] OfCourseNot@fedia.io 3 points 8 hours ago

What trade ya wanker?

Since he started with the tariffs I've been trying to find a product labeled as 'Made in USA', no success so far. American brand tools are made here in the EU, Mexico, or China. Cars? No. Food? Nope.

What about our products over there? Well, Spanish wine and olive oil are mainly labeled and sold as French and Italian, respectively, so...

Trying to hold a NATO state accountable for actions they aren't required to do while NATO releases that they won't side with the US will probably earn some repercussions.

Trump needs spray tans because his skin is so thin it’s transparent.

[–] outofthisworld@lemmy.org 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Well, the back of his neck is rotting away, so he might be undead.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

Leprosy or Ghoul?

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Unlike Trump, Sanchez had cojones.

[–] OfCourseNot@fedia.io 1 points 9 hours ago

As a Spaniard, no he doesn't. I can't help to loudly chuckle every time I see the press call him a 'Socialist' (not that I'm a commie either, mind you, but I'm not in a very different way than him) because the 'Spanish Worker's Socialist Party' (lol) would be even slightly to the right of the American DNC imho, their a monarchist party after all. This is just an (quite fortunately) easy political win, and a diversion from all the shit the PSOE, and Sánchez in particular, have right now in their hands.

That doesn't sound legal....
