Yes! Sleepy Don strikes again! Wearing a suit that doesn't fit dress code and sleeping during Pope Francis' funeral.
Oh, wait, that wasn't an ordinary suit, that was the uniform of Captain Obvious!! Because only Captain Obvious could possibly say, of Putin: It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently
@ElwoodBlues I looked it up. Yes there’s a dress code as you stated. Men are “‘expected” and women “ advised”. And yes he wore a Blue suit. Did it meet the code’s expectations? No, but not everyone followed said code. Interesting for me being Catholic, living through the passing of a few Popes; in my Catholic school education (religion classes) I never heard the details of the funeral protocol(s) to include a dress code. What I did hear and learn was that white smoke meant a new pope had been chosen, black smoke, he had not. And on a related note: the movie CONCLAVE is a great movie to watch with s great cast.
@Kwek00 They wanted him and not that Harris thing! As for the future and Europe and particularly the UK, the meme pretty much sums it up. And as an Anericanmi’ll take my chances with Trump. But I seriously worry about Europe these days. I say that seriously.
@soar2newhighs 1/3 of the voters wanted him, 1/3 didn't bother to vote at all (aka "either is the same", which is a sentence they don't agree with anymore from the last polling lol) and 1/3 voted for Harris. And that's without accounting for all the hints him and Musk gave about the fact they could've cheated with voting machines.
Europe's dealt with the alikes of Trump for millennia, as much as we also have a problem of dumb voters that first vote such characters and then regret it, we're much better equipped to handle them.
I'd worry first and foremost about the fact that people get sent to foreign prison camps without even due process, potentially citizens too. You know, the kind of thing that in Europe only happens in Russia and Belarus.
@Kwek00 You list yourself as being from Belgium aka Europeans.,, and you have more to worry about than Trump. I hope not too many of the immigrants in your country are from The Congo…they have grievances and a bone to pick with your ilk., aka people from Belgium , like you.
@soar2newhighs See, you are such a simpleton. What influence sphere do you think western-Europe has fallen under since the end of the 2nd World War? When the U.S. decided to go against international law, and started a fire in Iraq, which countries absorbed a lot of the refugees created by those actions? When Clinton decided to deregulate the banks, and it all blew up during George Bush Jr.'s presidency, what other countries were the most affected? In one part of the story, America is Great and needs to be Greater... but when Europeans treat it that way, "Americans" get offended and play dumb.
I hope not too many of the immigrants in your country are from The Congo
DUUUDE!!! Belgium granted Congo independence in 1960!! Please, try to catch up to the present day. Did you hear JFK was assassinated?? Did you know the US went big into a war in Vietnam?? Did you know that men walked on the moon?? All those things happened AFTER Congo independence!!!
BTW, you can actually look up Belgium's immigrants. The largest group comes from France, Italy, Netherlands, & other EU nations; but Brussels has a large and well-integrated Congolese community. What's your beef with the Congolese??

It's just a cheap shot, by someone that doesn't know any better. Belgium has a past though... at least the majority of us can talk about it. We don't have to vote in a prime minister that needs to publish a work of pro-Belgian fiction that celebrates the "truth", like that 1776 project that you can still find on the internet:
Most Belgians got over it, we integrated the behavior of our nation in our curriculums. Our colonial periode is mandatory learning. The time that old people believed that we went over there to do charity, like building roads and hospitals, is behind us for the most part. When Congo got it's independence, certain Americans weren't allowed to drink from the same water fountain as their countrymen. And over here, we aren't saving our Leopold 2 iconography like those people that still can't coop with the fact that the Confederacy was a pretty bad idea.
Ole Miss didn't begin de-segregation until 1962; U of Alabama: 1963; Texas State U, under court order, also 1963. The Civil Rights Act – ordering desegregation of restaurants – wasn't passed until 1964!
@Reason10 We were talking about BELGIUM; how in the world could anybody miss that simple fact???
But since you want to talk about people from foreign lands in relation to US law, let me introduce you to:
8 USC 1158: Asylum (a) Authority to apply for asylum (1) In general Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien's status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.
