So her demands for the return of oversight over banking just didn't happen, in your magical world where Warren isn't one of the more progressive Dem senators?

Dislike her all you want, but try to do it for reasons that actually exist, if you don't mind.

Hey at least I didn't miss it in the options somewhere. Fingers and toes crossed for soon.

Hence this part, perhaps?

Although senators will benefit from the change by being permitted to sport casual clothes in the Senate chamber, their staffs are still required to wear business clothes under the old dress code. People other than senators who walk on to the Senate floor will also need to wear business attire, which for men means a jacket and a tie.

Rules for thee, not for me.

Is there a way to collapse comment threads on it I'm missing? I've been loving some of its other features (like being the only one I've found that stretches when I turn my iPad lengthwise).

Might not be able to scroll forever, but most of the stuff I see here is at least new to me if not actually new.

I find that having a really shit take on something tends to get even passive people talking, but I worry about the long-term effects of generating conversation that way.

..I do speak the language in one of the two, but thanks for the shitty assumption. That it's more jarring for me between two states is my own subjective opinion. It's almost like there's more to culture than language.

I'm probably just approaching this wrong overall. I think it'd be interesting to see more non-US posts in places like world news, and it's not that hard for me to run non-English posts through a translator to get the gist of them.

This is probably a terrible place to express it, and I'm probably being obtuse, but I want to see that in addition to posts like this complaint. I would read that. I would upvote that.

At the risk of digging myself an ever deeper hole, then…why complain? I wouldn’t ask, but I see this complaint like every few weeks or so. If it literally can’t be a thing because of how Europe is, why blame America?

We do enough like real stupid shit people can be mad at us about. This one doesn’t seem like it’s on us.

Yeah I don't know any Americans that don't do this. Like I get it, I don't like us either, but going from Colorado to Texas is more jarring to me than going from France to Germany.

Possible I missed something, but nothing I see in the world news rules about posting in languages that aren't English. My (admittedly small) point is that nothing prevents Europeans dominating these spaces apart apparent apathy and disinterest.

Google tells me there's like 332 million people in the US and like 750 million in Europe. I get that they're different countries, but different states here might as well be.

Are there posts Europeans make that I'm just not seeing (beyond complaints like this one), or is there something else that keeps them from posting and upvoting the content they apparently want to see in places like world news?

Probably why they said "usually."

He does, actually. Watch any of the hearings he sits on and you'll see him being a blustering bag of shit at anyone who has to be there, regardless of age. I think it might be the only thing he knows how to do, apart from threatening librarians and trying to take loaded guns onto an airplane.
