Afaik, it does work as a country, even if it's not formally one.

I just realised Switzerland isn't party of EU. I keep confusing Sweden with Switzerland for some reason, they both start with Sw so maybe that.

This reminds me of a video where Europeans were shown a map of the USA and had to point at the state the interviewer asked and vice versa. So the interviewer asks someone in the US and he put Sweden and Switzerland next to each other in Scandinavia and than later this interviewer asks about Slovakia (I think) and the guy goes "well, here are all the s-countries so it must be there somewhere" I laughed my ass of for real.

"Resident of the Unit" has a good ring to it here.

Wasn't Russia absent from that list?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Yes. But penguin island was not.

Now watch Trump lift sanctions against Russia and send the most noteworthy opposition to that to the El Salvadoran concenration camp.

The only silver lining in how big the last protest was. If momentum continues in the right direction we may either win, or put him under enough pressure to limit his options, and ensure an election again in 2028.

Those darn penguins and their snarky little salesmen

A third presidential term?

He has repeatedly openly threatened to not step down and I've seen a few too many of his voters express support for it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He did mention during his election campaign

"christian come vote. You don't need to vote in four years, it'll be fixed"

Whatever that was supposed to mean, but it is concerning

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The time for concern is over.

Either you're already aware of what he's doing and either pissed about it or fine with it.
Or you're very, very, incredibly, stupendously, ridiculously and extraordinarily dense.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'll choose dense. I get how you'd like to presume that was about current events. And it very well might be.

Fortunately I don't live there, and I don't think I ever will

I get how you’d like to presume that was about current events. And it very well might be.

What the hell do you mean to say by this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Exactly as it says, I don't read or write between the lines. But I can break it down to make it simpler if that helps:

Trump said: "you wont need to vote next election, it'll be fixed". And now he's trying to become a sort of dictator.

It could be that he was talking about becoming a dictator, but it could also have been about something else, or nothing entirely. But I do understand if you would like to assume he was actually talking about that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think you might genuinely be retarded.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Perhaps, how about you try to explain why? I tried simple english and you still act confused

I mean, we've mostly heard about the uninhabited and rarely visited Australian island that got an entry, right? Apparently the penguins are cutting unfair trade deals.

The EU should become a country and it was over 95 years late.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Him and everyone surrounding him is a fucking idiot.
