@lautarojrq Quel dommage que l'Argentine se soit pris une telle humiliation militaire en 1982 alors qu'ils étaient de si grands serviteurs du droit international 🤷

🇬🇧🇺🇸Le ton monte entre Londres et Washington.
Donald Trump réfléchirait à fragiliser la souveraineté britanniques sur les îles Falklands (Malouines), dans l'Atlantique Sud.
Le gouvernement britannique a dû rappeler que la souveraineté « appartient au Royaume-Uni », en s’appuyant sur le droit des habitants à l’autodétermination.
Pour rappel, les Falklands n'avaient pas d'autochtones lorsqu'elles ont été découvertes donc rien ne permet de soutenir la thèse argentine selon laquelle elles appartiendraient à Buenos Aires. De plus, le Royaume-Uni a effectué un référendum en 2013 dans lequel 99.8% des habitants ont voté pour rester dans le giron britannique.
Le Président états-unien veut « punir » le Royaume-Uni pour ne pas l'avoir suffisamment soutenu dans la guerre contre l'Iran. On passe d’une alliance structurée et historique entre les deux États à une relation transactionnelle, où le soutien n’est plus implicite mais exigé, même quand Washington agit contre le droit international et sans consulter ses alliés.
Mais surtout, ce dossier illustre une rupture plus large. Sous l’impulsion de Donald Trump, les États-Unis semblent prêts à instrumentaliser des sujets sensibles pour faire pression sur leurs propres alliés. Le Royaume-Uni, pourtant pilier de la relation transatlantique, se retrouve traité comme un partenaire conditionnel. Situation encore impensable il y a 2 ans.
La rupture est profonde et les passes d'armes commencent.

🇨🇦🇺🇸Nouvelle déclaration claire de Mark Carney contre les États-Unis. Interrogé sur le point de friction sur le boycott de l'alcool américain au Canada, il ne mâche pas ses mots et résume la politique trumpiste avec le Canada. « Vous savez ce qui est un point de tension ? Des droits de douane de 50% sur l’acier. 50% sur l’aluminium. 25% sur les automobiles. Tous les droits de douane sur les produits forestiers. Ce ne sont pas de simples irritants, ce sont des violations de notre accord commercial. » Cet agacement du PM canadien traduit une certaine asymétrie dans les tensions entre Washington et Ottawa. Washington présente certaines mesures d’Ottawa comme de simples « points de friction » alors que du point de vue canadien, l’accumulation de droits de douane sectoriels constitue une remise en cause directe de l’équilibre commercial. En durcissant le rapport de force, les États-Unis fragilisent la crédibilité des accords existants et pousse le Canada à diversifier ses partenariats plutôt qu’à céder. On l'a vu dans les déclarations de Mark Carney et surtout dans ses actes. À terme, cela isole davantage les États-Unis que cela ne renforce leur position. Le pire étant que chaque nouvelle mesure ou insulte à l'encontre du Canada ne font qu'augmenter la popularité de Mark Carney qui s'oppose ouvertement à Donald Trump. Difficile de comprendre comment la Maison Blanche ne voit pas l'impasse. Courage aux Canadiens !💪🇨🇦

@Garnet_2203 What’s the leading cause of death in Canada? Also 1.2 million is not accurate
English
Fuck you Joe Rogan. You want to talk about all that shit Canada did during covid?
Fact: 1.23 million Americans died from Covid during the pandemic.
Fact: 60,000 Canadians died from Covid during the pandemic.
Americans were about 140% more likely to die from COVID than Canadians during the pandemic.🖕
Joe Rogan Podcast News@joeroganhq
Joe Rogan and Post Malone call out Canada: "Canada is f**king falling apart. All the shit that they did during COVID was just the total wrong direction."

Why do so many people feel the need to police what poor people eat?

SHOULD SNAP RECIPIENTS BE ABLE TO BUY ROTISSERIE CHICKEN This is an actual debate happening right now. A group of lawmakers has introduced legislation that would allow recipients to purchase hot rotisserie chickens with their benefits. Currently they are only able to buy cooked rotisserie chickens once they have been cooled down. Your Thoughts?

Former President Obama in July 2020:
“For too long, gerrymandering has contributed to stalled progress and warped our representative government.”

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
English
@dsgnr4hire @drodvik52 @FrankLuntz So it’s what about ism for republicans and tit for tat when you do it? It’s like you try to be as hard to have a real talk with as possible. Following Illinois in 2021 Texas did a tit for tat. If a red state redistricts in response to VA I assume you will see it as tit for tat?
English
@jdeitz72 @drodvik52 @FrankLuntz Hahaha that's called 'tit for tat' or 'fight fire with fire' completely different from 'whataboutism' 😅
English
@joyncassie @drodvik52 @FrankLuntz I do agree incumbents being in anyway associated with the process muddies the waters. Unfortunately I think most people see it as us vs them and aren’t capable of short term detriment in their own party for the benefit of the country. Both on policy and processes
English
@jdeitz72 @drodvik52 @FrankLuntz Me too, with the math. I like that. I'd also like see some contiguity and mile range rules, so incumbents can't draw funky lines to protect their own seats, and more representatives have to consider more than their own party's interests.
English
@joyncassie @drodvik52 @FrankLuntz I would say redistrict every 10-20 years and do independent commissions to draw the lines such that you are within idk 3% parity of the last general vote? I’m a math guy so that makes sense to me but not sure from a like feasibility standpoint
English
@jdeitz72 @drodvik52 @FrankLuntz Sure there are plenty of ways to define it. There is a lot of research done on differing ways. This is your opportunity to define it how you want.
English
@joyncassie @drodvik52 @FrankLuntz Because no one agrees on what it even means. Define fair in a situation where the split is not exactly 100%. I am not in favor of Texas or va doing it simply pointing out that we no longer agree on what basic words mean and standards to reach them. See man vs woman
English
@jdeitz72 @drodvik52 @FrankLuntz So why don't republicans bring their own anti-gerrymandering vote to the floor today?
English
@dsgnr4hire @drodvik52 @FrankLuntz So then you are equally at fault? We shouldn’t gerrymander “but what about republicans in Texas” fucking retards.
English
@jdeitz72 @drodvik52 @FrankLuntz As usual, when cornered in a no-win situation, just invoke 'whataboutism' 🤣
English
@drodvik52 @FrankLuntz Just like you protect women’s rights then allow trans athletes ? Naming it something doesn’t make it so. The save act protects elections how dare you not support it. it saves election integrity cuz that’s what we say it does. There’s no way congress could lie about the bill
English
@Brian_Chovanec @FrankLuntz lol do what we want and if you don’t we will do more gerrymandering because Illinois and Massachusetts haven’t been gerrymandered for last 6 years. Clowns this will turn violent eventually
English
@FrankLuntz This is true and not inconsistent with his stance on Virginia.
1- Ban gerrymandering nationally.
2- until 1 happens, don’t unilaterally disarm.
Dems are proposing one. Republicans refuse to cooperate, therefore, Dems (and Obama) proceed with two.

This ma ordered a new fridge for $1000 from Lowe’s. When it was delivered, the delivery men accidentally dented the right stainless steel panel on the door.
The fridge still works great, but there are three unsightly dents. He reached out to Lowe’s and they took $500 off of the total price, so he ended up getting it for only $500.
Would you have taken that deal and saved $500 or would you have taken the fridge back and had the give you a new one that was not damaged?
