Honestly we (,the U.S) don't have anything worthwhile.

You can find a better version of whatever you are looking for, some place else.

Trump, also known as the senile orange shitstrain hitler toddler… the name is getting longer and longer…

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 26 points 4 hours ago

As a European, I feel that we are still tiptoeing around Trumps threats and perhaps need a catalyst to start our transition away from reliance upon the US. The UK had Brexit which was wholly dumb. However, Europe is so much more than just a tiny island

Spanish boicot of USA products now got easier! Yay!

Just also remember to unsubscribe to all USA provided services.

Here is a curated list of alternatives.

[–] example@reddthat.com 14 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

ironic to host this on a US service

Can't let perfect be the enemy of good!

You're paying or seeing ads?

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Not meaning lemmy.world (which I'm assuming to be European as the fedihosting foundation IBAN for donations is dutch) but GitHub which is free and (mostly, because copilot ads) adfree because paid with user data

[–] RangerAndTheCat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Codeberg > GitHub

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 4 hours ago

Ahhh gotcha

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 20 points 6 hours ago

How can the rest of the world get this deal??

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 26 points 6 hours ago

The MAGA fucks still fail to realize how important the US military installations in the EU are for their stupid military adventures. Spain is 100% correct and the rest of the EU members should do the same to bring the entire ill planned shitshow, created by Israel and the USA, to an abrupt end.

[–] comador@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Idiotic move. It won't harm Spain without also cutting trade with the entire EU and even Morocco.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Just goes to show how stupid Trump is

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, one of a dwindling number of left-leaning voices in Europe

I didn't know there were any left. Good job, Spain!

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Green Party in the UK are getting a louder voice, ie more support and members than ever.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 hours ago

That's good, since Labour turned out to be Tory lite just like Democrats being Republican lite.

[–] DeepSeaString@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (2 children)

You should also look into the Hungarian elections coming up its starting to look like their far right leader will lose!

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Don't get too excited. Yes, it's a split from Orban and Magyar is more pro-EU, but Tisza (the new party) is a splinter group from Fidesz (Orban's party) and share many of the same views domestically.

Basically, same far right people but willing to stfu to get access to EU funds again.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 hours ago

That would be awesome! Do it, people!

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 106 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm more interested in seeing what happens with the second part of his threat, that he'll "use those bases whether spain likes it or not".

I believe that's called an incursion on foreign soil.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 42 points 9 hours ago

It's called: instead of uniting together to eliminate Iran we should gather together and eliminate the US government with its oligarchs. This will immediately solve a lot of problems in this world.

[–] Paranoidfactoid@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago

Spain is in the EU. How difficult would it be for a Spanish exporter to open a field office in Germany and export from there?

This is idiotic.

[–] futurp@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

So, should we replace all the crap that the United States sells us? Thank you, Mr. Trump.

[–] DragonAce@lemmy.world 158 points 11 hours ago (5 children)

Jesus Fucking Christ this man is a fucking child. He is constantly throwing tantrums any time he doesn't get his way.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago

His brain is mush. Have you ever been around someone who is losing their mind. Nothing coming out of their mouth makes much sense and most of it is anger.

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 81 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

it describes his supporters as well.

[–] Reddit_was_fun@sh.itjust.works 27 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It's screaming babies all the way down

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 27 points 10 hours ago

There's a joke about the epstein files in there I ain't gonna make… but it's there.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 22 points 9 hours ago

The frightening thing is that it often works for him. At least in short term.

Well if you were not sure, this is clear evidence Spain did the right thing

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

Who give a fuck at this point.

As Trump said about Starmer:

I guess our relationship isn't what it used to be.

You are goddam right it isn't you malignant sociopath. And it's all 100% your fault, and the Americans that voted for you twice!

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 97 points 11 hours ago

and the Americans that voted for you twice!

3 times.

They voted for a felon rapist pedophile 3 times.

Hey, if anyone in Spain wants to hack the US and leak the Epstein files, please do.

[–] LoveTrumpsHate@lemmy.world 25 points 9 hours ago

Trump should be pleased with Spain, they even named a military base after him:

"Trump's comments came after the US relocated 15 aircraft, including refuelling tankers, from the Rota and Moron military bases in southern Spain after the country's Socialist leadership said it would not allow them to be used to attack Iran."

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

The shithead makes it a lot easier for China, every day.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 128 points 12 hours ago

And Spain, before you count yourself blessed of being rid of them ..... It will only lasts until he or one of his oligarch's can make a buck, then it's taco time all over again.

Will someone ever succeed in explaining Trump what the EU is?

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 86 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure no one has ever successfully explained anything to Trump.

Remember when he tried to discuss a trade deal with Merkel? And she is like "uh, that's not how it works"

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 20 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

What a fucking child, oh wait he also rapes children.
