Well, Europe welcomes them, their talents and their research. And it's a stable place, which in any other circumstance would just be the bare minimum instead of an actual benefit.

What better way to manipulate someone with self-worth issues who must flaunt his "power" and "wealth" to "prove others wrong" than stroking his fragile ego?

Small pp energy. Or rather, botched pp energy in this specific case.

Same for the Trump and co. axis of evil - a bunch of adult children with ego issues wanting revenge on the world that belittled or thwarted their constant schemes, all banded together.

Oh shoot. What did Biden do this time? Who's constantly letting him sneak back into the White House to sign random stuff with the DJT signature?

Damn, for a lake bragging about making things wet that was some sick burn.

I mean, every apologist and defender of capitalist apocalyptic hellscapes will have that view, sadly. So long as it makes them an extra buck it's good for them, consequences to society or environment be damned.

As an European who does advocate and see value in the use of AI, but not at any cost, I'll take his opinion as a compliment. As they say, "I want AI to do my dishes while I create art, not for me to do the dishes while the AI produces insta-art".

And eventually if AI gets capitalistically out of hand and leads to many people in service-based economies to poverty and unhappiness we're sure to see a revolution to restore balance, as many times in history when a few elites made things unbearable for the rest of the population. AI is here to serve humanity, that's where the value is, not to serve only a select few.

Oh no. If this happens Canada could lose its "shut pornhub down" card. How dare the US take that gun and willingly shoot itself in the foot?

What's next, they'll start taxing themselves on Europe's use of their digital goods and send the money to Europe before they can impose the taxes on their consumers? 47D chess moves here.

My first thought seeing this news was "Why would Trump get such a plane for other future Presidents?".

Firstly, Trump being Trump would find a way to make the plane personally his, even placing some of those special Rolls Royce-made silent engines he likes so much. Secondly he already has his own Trump Force 1 to compete with the current AF1 - would he really be able to see another president flying around on his lux-plane while he has to return to the "poor-billionaire's" TF1?

Smells like yet another small sign that he isn't really planning on leaving. Seems like he's just getting his own upgraded Trump Force 1 under the guise of presidency, using taxpayer money, to serve him until he dies - not until the end of the term - and spend a heck-a-ton more taxpayer money in operating costs to fund his weekly golf trips.

Ha ha, yes, such a joker that JD. Totally not a cowardly sleazebeg acting as a "good person" and testing the waters on controversial stuff like a certain orange president likes to do... He's learning well.

I really hope this is the World Cup with the least international attendance in recent memory (should really be 0, but that's sadly too unrealistic) . Don't spend your money in the US, if FIFA wants your fan money they should relocate the world cup to somewhere without threats.

I hear good things about this Pope, from how he spent a relatively long time in Peru, to how Pope Francis liked him and how both share about the same views on the world.

I must confess I was a bit wary when I heard the new Pope was American, but at least he seems like a good one, thankfully.

That, however, does not erase the very real pressure he'll face from MAGA, who will undoubtedly try to make him their puppet through whatever means necessary, be it flattery, or even attempts at blackmailing behind closed doors - expect this especially if Vance or Trump rush to visit him now. In their mind he's surely American before being Pope, ergo he's expected to bend the knee to them, ergo they surely think they already own the Vatican.

My hopes are up for Pope Leo XIV to show them how wrong they are, and prove the critics of his nationality wrong.

So how long until real criminals start following suit and impersonating undercover ICE agents? Not like there's much distinction between either "career" now, is there?

And then how long until ICE agents start showing up with holes on the ground because property owners "thought" they were real street thugs trying to rob them? Is there even a way to tell the difference? _{wink wink}

You don't even need to ask. Donnie has a mouth as big as they can get. 110% guarantee if a single country worth naming "begged", as he likes to put it, he'd be waving it in our faces like it was the biggest achievement made by mankind.

But yes, do keep asking. He may not admit it, but it helps him know that we don't forget his lies, and hold him to them. Not only that, the constant pressure wears him down and makes him even sloppier - even admitting in front of cameras he "doesn't know" if a POTUS must uphold the constitution.

All of it serves as recorded proof for when the reckoning time comes. For him, and the rest of his dear MAGA admin.

You are actually very right. Calling them Republicans is not appropriate or correct, as the Republican movement was founded on a very different set of values and one only has to look at their history to compare the "then" with the "now".

These are indeed MAGA Nazi's in the true sense of the name. Just like the original Nazi's adopted a symbol of peace, the Swastika, and corrupted its meaning, these lowlifes co-opted the republican name and gave it new meaning.

They should absolutely be called what they act as, not what they say they are.

US could do that, sure.

But I bet it'd quickly find out just how much of its power, safety and bravado is due to being located in a geographically safe and isolated area with no real hostile armies trying to end them from the other side of the border.

Just how much of that willingness to fight comes from invading foreign underdeveloped territories across the sea, with little chance for the fight to make its way back to US cities and US civilians.

Easy to start fights from the comfort of a distant home, sending only military lives into the far away battlefield.

Something Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East can't claim, as they have to contend with potentially bad neighbors due to all sorts of reasons.

Go ahead, poke the bear, FAFO.

If not Nazi, why Sieg Heil-shaped? 🙄

On a completely unrelated topic, just look at Hitler sending his heart out to his people, how heartwarming.

I was under the impression he was an expert on due process. Like, no one knew due process as well as him. I could swear many people also praised him for it, and that no one had more due processes than Trump.

Heck, the guy knows more about poping than the Pope, so much he'd make the greatest Pope in history.

I'm really starting to think this Trump guy might not be that flawless a human like he claims all the time. 🧐

I really wouldn't, even though it's not my fight.

Harris was not the answer before, it won't be now. If the Democrat party still hasn't reached the obvious conclusion why they lost to such a pitiful opponent as Trump, then America is truly doomed since the only choices are Dumb and Dumber. Or who's the lesser evil.

There's a reason why many people did not vote for either party, which ultimately gave Trump the needed edge to win.

Keep the word salads, empty buzzwords and lack of accountability, keep the flashy fanfare, the cheap insults, and the over-the-top celebrity endorsements, keep showing the people how big and wasteful your show is while they starve on food stamps, keep hiding Biden's mental state while he's in office, keep underestimating and mocking the other side instead of breaking the cycle and actually leading by example. No wonder Trump simply had to tell the people he'd lower prices and end suffering and people gobbled it up knowing it came from the orange nepo baby fraudster, because they were that much desperate.

Keep showing you're part of the problem and not the solution, and then wonder why people don't see an obvious choice as to who is better for them.

Trump is not planning on ending this 2nd mandate, that much is obvious. But if you can get him out by any means it may take, it won't be that long before another Trump eventually makes its way into power.

Show why you're better, don't limit yourself to tell people why the other side sucks. They already know that much, and they're desperate for something better beyond appearance.

And anyone blindly defending the democrats just because the republicans are worse this time, instead of expecting them to do better, are part of the problem just as much as MAGA.

Right move. He really thinks everyone's as stupid as he is, or his supporters.

Not that he won't press the matter further, or even try to do it anyway if he sees the chance.

The only appropriate response to someone who is used to take others by force is a complete rejection and threat of painful consequences, since that's what savage Neanderthals respond to. Give an inch, he'll take Mexico whole.

You could elect a cabinet composed exclusively of orange cats united by a single and solitary shared braincell, and they wouldn't be as idiotic.

They'd be idiotic, for sure. They'd be entertaining as well. But at least they wouldn't be malignantly idiotic.
