      The ‘gift’ is German.

      Translated it means poison.

      Texas has a wired language…

      And, more topically IMO, all Puerto Ricans.

      edit: full citizenship, rather than the second-class citizenship they currently have.

          They are technically US citizens by birth, but they have no representation in Congress, can’t vote in the US presidential election and generally have fewer rights than people born in the continental US. You could call it “taxation without representation”. Second-class citizens.

          But you’re right, demanding to “give citizenship to Puerto Ricans” doesn’t quite describe what the actual issue is.

    This the bitch ass Ted Cruz that voted to hide the Epstein Files. This the bitch ass Ted Cruz who praised Trump right after Trump called his wife ugly. This the bitch ass Ted Cruz who fled to Cancun when his district lost power to blizzards.

    Fat fuck trying really hard to sound like a tough mafioso gangster

    Remember when during the 2021 winter storm, he worked his ass off to make sure his constituents didn’t freeze to death?

    If you do, you should schedule an appointment with your doctor because bitch boy here flew to Cancun to not deal with the outfall of what he was responsible for (among others). A real American hero.

    If there’s anything American I’d aspire nowadays, Ted Cruz is the antithesis to that. He is an opportunistic, lying fat piece of shit.

    Go fuck yourself.

News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

  • on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
  • on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
  • on Hungary: Euronews

Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org
