Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I'm dumbfounded. Completely dumbfounded.

Trump is literally telling French companies operating in France that they have to comply with his Executive Orders.

French companies. In France. How fucking arrogant do you have to be?

Between insulting Denmark, threatening Greenland, and now trying to tell French companies how to conduct business, the entirety of Europe needs to start collectively standing up and telling Trump exactly how far he can go fuck off. Because he is not going to stop. If this goes unanswered, he will consider your ignorance as capitulation and therefore weakness and start making more batfuck stupid demands and act as if he genuinely believes he rules over your country.

Mark my words, Trump's next step is ordering tariffs on something from France because of their DEI policies. I give it 7 days.

I thought he’d try to it to 🇨🇦 first. US can’t be forcing other countries to do his racism. 🖕🇺🇸

The fat fuck lost to Canada not backing down so he's trying France. Fat fuck doesn't realise Canada and France both speak French and laugh behind his back. He's not getting shit from the French.

Totally. I’m loving the important parts of Canadian speeches (namely Carney) being in French, knowing the idiotic American’s don’t do the translation.

The only acceptable French response:

Scene from Monty Python and the holy Grail where a French guard on top of a wall blows a raspberry at attackers and pats his hands on his head in a silly taunting manner

On second thought, let's not go to America, 'tis a silly place

If America can suggest rules for France, can France suggest rules for America?

Please enforce baguette et burre for breakfast.

This fucking turd needs to get flushed already.

Party of no federal interference in companies now endorsing feder interference of foreign companies? No conflict of interest here - congress probably.

Appraise: 4

Concentration: 1

Diplomacy: -34

Rolls a 1 on Diplomacy skill checks just about every time.

Seriously might as well write 1 on a marble and make that his diplomacy roll

If only he could count that high

Not just French companies, companies in multiple EU countries (from the article). And it's only applicable if they want to do business with the US. This behaviour is pretty normal for them - they used to have policies about not buying from companies that used child labour, or didn't enforce DEI etc. They're just enforcing a different set of standards for their suppliers now.

I'm not saying it's not messed up, just that it's not unusual and shouldn't surprise anyone.

I was waiting for Shittler to try to impose his racism and bigotry on 🇨🇦too. More proof of a dementia-addled mind that he did it first to France.

Manges la merde

I'm reminded of films sold in Europe that have that idiotic FBI warning at the start. Where do you think you are, you fascist arseholes?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

And the French corprations responded with "va te faire foutre" (Go fuck yourself).

Delulu Don is at it with his antics once again.
