        Genau. Trump liebt deutsche Wörter wie Gleichschaltung und Lebensraum.

        Nederlandse heeft een sterke geschiedenis in Amerika. Er was zelfs een president die geen engels spreekt, want Nederlands was zijn moedertaal.

      Have you been paying attention lately?

      They’re being reported as if they were because our government is acting as if they are. Those EOs are all being enforced. Some are on temporary hold, but SCOTUS has already signalled they’re going to rule in Trump’s favor in the end, and Congress has done exactly nothing to stop them. The most you’ve got is a bunch of judges asking pretty please while threatening no consequence if Trump ignores them. Given that they’re actively being enforced, they basically have all the force of law in practice until somebody actually says otherwise and has the power to enforce it.

      It would have been even more on-brand to issue an EO that renames the “English” language to the “American” language.

          I disagree. His delusional rants are normally one long sentence. Incoherent and completely void of punctuation, but there is at least one grammatically questionable sentence in there.

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!
