It would seem so - and the worrying thing is he's not even halfway through his term.... the world is going to take it as a win if we get out the other side without global thermonuclear war!

It would seem that my EV driving friends are breathing a sigh of relief these days.

I'm afraid the responsibility lies with the folks who voted them in ๐Ÿ˜’

Is no apology forthcoming for this outrage?

When you have sane leaders, much can be accomplished.

giving up something for Lent- reminds me of when I was a child, here in Ireland. However, AOC, I'm grown up now and an atheist, like most of my friends. However, due to an unexpected trip to the US last summer, I removed FB, Bluesky and Instagram from my phone and left them off - only on laptop now

Could cause a bit of congestion in Dingle, I'd say!

yes, Surrendering my social media login for inspection is something only an actual terrorist suspect should be subjected to. Not something a tourist from an ally country should expect.

totally right- had a wonderful visit to Ottawa last summer for my daughter's wedding. I'd actually love if Canada could be permitted to join the EU - what a perfect match.

well, the conservative voters saw what a wreck he created the first time and enthusiastically returned him in '24 - on the basis of misogny and racism, it seems. The fault lies primarily with them.

Sadly, I can't see myself visiting the US again in the foreseeable future ๐Ÿ˜’

the look of someone who was happy to just be there - and didn't sabotage herself with any expectations. ๐Ÿ‘

I read about this great idea from Victorian times where they send children up chimneys to clean them.

"Lรก le Brรญd" St. Bridget's day in Ireland ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช-a rare sunny day and I took the motorbike out for a spin to the seaside town of Cobh for brunch at Seasalt restaurant (kimchi fried eggs !) then a walk along the promenade where families were relaxing in the moment.

Well, I remember our change to the Euro in Ireland and I don't miss our old currency at all - I've been able to travel around Europe easily with the Euro and Businesses have obviously benefited trade wise. Tourism is enhanced here too.

well, it's what they voted for ...over and over again. The esteemed @sanders.senate.gov tried to convince them to vote for their families' health but was dismissed as a "commie" radical. Karma can be a bitch.

"7 days a week"? guess that's the US way. What about living your one life in harmony and happiness, appreciating the wonder of your unlikely existence in the experiences of each day?
