House Republicans authorized a new rule to prevent Democrats from probing the Trump administration’s scandals until October.
Amid mounting scandals out of the Trump administration, House Republicans voted Tuesday in favor of a rule that creates hurdles for Democrats looking to investigate it.
Departments across Trump’s government have been rocked by scandals over a variety of issues: Elon Musk’s glaring conflicts of interest while gutting the federal government, Cabinet officials’discussing sensitive military plans with civilians via a third-party messaging platform or members of Congress benefiting as the White House turned tariffs on and off.
Democrats have tried to shine light on these and other scandals using what are called “resolutions of inquiry,” which can tee up what are essentially special votes over whether to provide information from the president or executive officials.
I’ve looked into moving to Iceland but it seems like they don’t actually want foreigners moving there and taking their jobs.
Unfortunately, I can’t say anything about Iceland. But in Germany, where I come from, skilled workers are urgently needed. It’s a whole spectrum of jobs: from hospitality to elderly care to engineering to physicians to pretty much all IT jobs (and many more).
There really is a shortage of workers in a wide variety of areas, which makes it all the more incomprehensible to me that we also have a MAGA-like party, the AfD, which constantly rails against foreigners. However, they are despised by everyone in even halfway larger cities and don’t play a role there. Significantly, this party is particularly popular in eastern Germany, especially in rural areas where there are hardly any foreigners. It’s really absurd, but I’m afraid morons like these can be found in all rural areas around the wold.
Of course, I don’t want to make any false promises and unfortunately I have to say that there are a lot of intolerant assholes in Germany too (the AfD, a darn Nazi-Party was at 20% in the last election and I’m afraid that they will get even more in the next one). But there are also a lot of nice, open-minded people and, as I said, a lot of open jobs. Maybe you’ll find something with us.
I would be delighted. That much is certain, even if it’s not worth much.
Congrats on capturing MAGAs role in America so eloquently. Those are not laurels to be resting on my friend
If you still have to play the one-country-versus-the-other card, I can’t help much. However, the facts are clear: minorities are already being unlawfully persecuted in the US and it’s obvious that it’s going to get worse. So what are you trying to say with this comment?
Iceland is very small, and very limited with land and resources, so they have to maintain a sense of sustainability. BUT they do like workers to come over and work in the coffee shops and tourists spots along the Ring Road for I think 6 months or maybe it’s a year or two. But yeah, outside of that, yeah they aren’t big on outsiders actually living there cuz it’s a pretty small tight knit kind of country. But the people are very nice and lovely.
