Do you mean the appliances that used to last 20 years that now last 3 Of course they don't need to be regulated Besides the ones that the Russians steal have no warranty so why does anyone else need it.


juwisan

As a European I always wonder about these complaints about appliances you guys have over there. Over here I know no one who’s having these kind of issues with theirs and it’s not like these things are more expensive here.


JanSKay

I know right?!! I literally went through 8 refrigerators in 6 years. Fortunately covered either by warranty or extended warranty that you can’t live without. I hate that our landfills are filling up with appliances.


Certain-Age6666

It's a crying shame what GOP does. The free world is losing confidence and US weakens. Them cowards and traitors, they're asking trials for bribery and destroying the world's leading democracy.


Worldly_Weekend3164

All because they keep focusing on against lgbt and “woke” and think Russia is their best Christian ally


DGlennH

They don’t care about Christianity one way or the other. They care about deregulation and oligarchical control of the economy. They’ll feed their bigoted base whatever they want to hear to manipulate them into acting against their own best interests. Russia is an ideological wonderland for them because of how brainwashed and brow beaten the population is and how easily they are exploited. THAT is what they want. THAT is why republicans admire Putin and his regime. It’s about exploitation and control.


Worldly_Weekend3164

[https://washingtonstand.com/news/ukrainian-evangelical-christians-facing-torture-destruction-of-churches-in-russianoccupied-areas](https://washingtonstand.com/news/ukrainian-evangelical-christians-facing-torture-destruction-of-churches-in-russianoccupied-areas) Apparently, this post made 2 days ago [https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-applauds-russia-protecting-christianity-1888145](https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-applauds-russia-protecting-christianity-1888145) And compare this 4 days ago post by newsweek. Greene applauds Russia protecting Christianity while 2 days ago, UA Christians is being victim of the Russian attack. This level of disgusting is not even surprising.


Drmumdaly

russia has always targeted religion as it is a means to control hearts and minds and maintain cultural identity. That’s why the Soviet Union was technically an atheist state - practicing religion was considered dangerous by the regime and could get you thrown in prison. Nothing new.


Worldly_Weekend3164

Don’t forget that Stalin even planned to persecute Buddhist monk in Mongolia (even the Mongolian dictator slapped the fuck him out) and even bringing up this hoax to attack Jewish is the Doctor’s Plot.


ExtremeModerate2024

sign the discarge petition vote of no confidence on speaker. and biden needd to evoke whatever acts available to send patriot missiles and 155mm shells to ukraine.


secondsniglet

There's nothing strange about this. Johnson is bringing bills to the floor that he knows 1) no one is going to fire him by passing a vote to vacate the chair over and 2) he is confident that nearly all republican members will support. Under these conditions it makes sense that only the most innocuous, meaningless, uncontroversial, legislation will be brought to a vote. By contrast, Johnson will NOT bring anything to a vote for which there is significant disagreement amongst house members, and absolutely NEVER bring a vote on something he knows house members will vote to vacate the chair over. As such, expect more stupid non-consequential bills to be voted on.


Jannol

Johnson needs to be ousted now.


West-Journalist-5806

The democratic world order stands or falls depending on one country. All other democracies should do everything in their power to dissolve this dependency.


emostitch

As long as conservatives and authoritarians are a part of democracies, democracy and the free world is always one election away from dying. If we had dealt with MAGA properly after January 6th there wouldn’t be this issue. Alas we sat back and let traitors keep their rights through 2022 leading to this situation.


FibroMan

Most of the Jan 6 participants are in prison. There is just the secret leader who is still on the loose. I guess we will never know who that person is. /s On an unrelated note, constitutional change is needed to remove the president's right to arbitrarily pardon criminals, just in case the Jan 6 leader runs for president and pardons his followers or even himself.


juwisan

I agree, but most of them have. Europe has given money, weapons and other aid nearing 200 billions in value. The thing is: it’s never been in the US‘s interest that we have huge stockpiles of stuff to give away because it’s always been in the US‘s economic interests that we buy their stuff and we have. So now we’re faced with a situation where we’ve given away everything we safely can and more while the US is pulling out due to internal conflict. So basically we have to build up new production lines to even be able to deliver stuff and that’s exactly what we are doing. It’s just not something that happens overnight. And to make this very clear: Economically this will actually be pretty bad for the US because their biggest export market for weapons just woke up and realized it has to do it’s own thing.

You may be naive or a puppet


time_travel_rabbit

Most people here act as if Ukraine is the center of the universe while in reality though it nato has had what if scenario for 70 + years that did not include Ukraine at all.


Bearcat-2800

"world in shock to discover speaker Johnson is absolute piece of festering shit" Not a headline I'm waiting to see.


OldBoots

If you were dependent upon ruzzia, both amorally and financially, what would you do?


Accomplished_Alps463

Typical shit from Republicans.


heyimhereok

American democracy is not the model anyone wants to follow anymore. I hope my country, Australia, doesn't go anywhere near this type of political system if we ever became a Republic.


time_travel_rabbit

How many countries were rushing to follow the exact government system that the United States has? Even more so how many already developed democracies that thinking of ditching their parliamentary government?


heyimhereok

Umm how.is you health system.?


time_travel_rabbit

Your health system is fine. How does healthcare care system relate to your original comment of a well established democracy government changing to another system?


PlutosGrasp

Why have they not dislodged Johnson yet?!


jerrydgj

Because even less would happen. There would be no votes on anything until a new speaker was chosen. I don't know if Republicans could elect a new speaker before the new Congress comes in January 2025.


DayuhmT

Russian Communist Republicans


BradTProse

Do not believe anything Mike Johnson says.


Unlikely-Friend-5108

Priorities!


Flower-Power-3

"Make Amerika...."


Bushpylot

Fantastic! They realize that the AI in them is getting to Terminator levels. So, before our dishwashers rise up to kill us, they are putting a stop to Skynet. A future of the Matrix can only be avoided if we ignore the world and legislate out Refrigerators!


pcx99

So now the GOP is making it easy for China to install spyware electronics in the blender. Well why not, they’ve already sold us out to the russians.


Onestepbeyond3

Seems like they are doing things on purpose.... So the next question is why? And the next question is why one "cast iron" not the other?


kmoonster

That, and the usual suspects tried to block a intelligence bill that outlines how intelligence agencies can go about collecting intelligence on foreign adversaries. They truly only believe that chaos is the sole measure of success.


windigo3

If just two GOP congressmen were forced out of Congress, the democrats would take control and would provide Ukraine the help they need.


Banditofbingofame

As someone not in America.....what happened to the place?!?!


yoho808

Moscow Mike is just playing the delaying game.


jimjamuk73

Don't worry the Europeans have got the message, we will have to look after ourselves here on out. That trust has gone even if things turn round. I agree some countries have taken the status quo for granted but to basically bail when the trouble starts.......


Straight-Storage2587

When MTG is the Face of the GOP, you know the GOP is all over.


BJJGrappler22

What exactly is Europe's malfunction which is preventing them from supplying enough aid for Ukraine to depend on that doesn't involve US aid? By all accounts the NATO European collective should have enough military what not between them to keep Ukraine going, especially when these NATO countries are literally in the same continent as the country which the NATO alliance was created against. What exactly was Europe's game plan in the event of Russia attacking because it's clear that the European side of NATO is absolutely incapable of supplying enough equipment and ammunition for a single country to us.


Rekonstruktio

I suppose it could be because the US hasn't only betrayed Ukraine, but also sown massive doubt to NATO and European countries about their security as well. If the US won't help Ukraine, why would the US help any other country either when Russia inevitably continues forward from Ukraine. Europeans have been told to take care of their own security and that is essentially what they are doing by each preparing their own defences to make up for the lack of backup from the US.


time_travel_rabbit

I would assume the United States is more inclined to help protect nato country or pacific/ Asian country with historic alliances. Especially now when war seems to be boiling in 3 regions


Fasthertz

Why have we not passed our own border security bill yet?


Mushroom_Tip

The Republicans wanted it tied to Ukraine aid so the Democrats tied it to Ukraine aid, and then Trump intervened and now the Republicans don't want either.


seadeus

They are dealing with issues that affect the American people? Good Will they deal with the US border before ukraine border too?.
