Oh Skybird, you’re such a worrywart. We’re in good hands, nothing to see here, move along now.

Will we see a refugee stream going from US to Europe in some years from now ?
Where American citizens are fleeing the situation in their country.

Naw that’ll never happen. I read a lot of news from around the world and IMO in Europe there seems to be a lot of the same things or worse going on over there. ;)

Remember it was only a few short years ago the world witnessed German police as they were cheered on by the facist usual suspects here, arrest Santa Claus for not wearing a mask. :har:

As long as I can carry and shoot ‘the Lord's caliber’ from my 1873 wheel gun I’ll be happy. Mess with that and we got us a problem ;)

Oh man, John Cleese really has grown old, I almost did not recognize him.

That was funny, really got a kick outta that. But I have to ask, do y’all have that kinda of entertainment about your own politicians In Europe? I’d like see some of that if you do, don’t worry about translating anything I got that covered.

If you don’t, it might explain the European infatuation and ungodly number of posts in the American politicos thread.

^ Sure we have on national TV like you remember "spitting image", "Charlie Hebdo" and other satire in Europe we ridicule our kings, queens and leaders for centuries before the creation of the US. Over the last centuries, European political cartoonists have faced prison, censorship and death threats.

If I in some way have mocked the Americans, then I'm so sorry this was not my intention behind my posting of this video.

I thought that you Americans make fun of your elected politicians like we do.

Here in Denmark and Sweden we do not have dolls-puppets but real people dressed and act like some known politicians.

Where we have something called Cirkus Revyen

As Dargo wrote they have spitting image in UK and Charlie Hebdo in France

Markus

We have a thread on the UK and a thread on Germany and none of the two is a compliment, and a thread on economics and a thread on energy, the latter two also often focussing on stories from the EU, so the kicking and beating is hardly focussed on just the US.

The problem is when it is an outsider who post certain thing in a country thread like the US-politics thread.

This is what I did I made fun of the elected politicians in US while not being an American

But you're right kicking and beating is hardly focused on US only

Harris Faulkner's tribute to her father who served in Vietnam is worth watching if you get a chance this Memorial Day. :Kaleun_Salute:

Somewhere floating around in the Mediterranean Sea is Biden’s 320 million dollar pier looking for its army personnel.

Pretty much analogous to the rest of his Middle East policy so far. Pissing off the Saudis, driving up oil prices, releasing billions to Iran, removing Houthi off terror list who then closed the Red Sea to shipping driving up the price of goods supported by the money he gave to Iran. And now a busted up 320 million debacle in Gaza attempting to pander to voters here in the U.S.

All 12 Jury member have found Trump Guilty

No one remembers the past. I seem to recall details of Mulberry harbours.
But that was 1940's tech so guess that's just not good enough nowdays.
:hmmm:

Trump 0 - Jury 34 .
