Take a look at how they play with regards to chat control. The EU is just the same corrupt BS like D.C., only with a lot more virtue signaling.

Sorry, I don't agree with that. The amount of corruption in the USA right now is simply off the scale.

or maybe you're watching Fox News too much?
Nah, it’s just more visible. It’s not that much of a sea change. And it’s ridiculously naive to pretend that the major countries in Europe don’t have their own mechanisms to regularly and effectively bypass any democratic inconveniences when necessary. They regularly push through things that no constituent would ever want or vote for.
Nah, it’s worse now than ever.
Meanwhile the President sits in the Oval Office and says, in a televised interview, with absolutely no shame, that all of his kids and family are insider trading, all the time.

Trump just dropped the part of his lawsuit against the BBC where he claimed it damaged his business because he would have to expose what his business is.
The Trump regime a way more corrupt than anything currently seen in Europe.
He currently attempting to steal Greenland so he can strip it of mineral assets for fucks sack.
No politician in Europe is starting wars for personal gain.
Only Trump and Putin.

You're right, just the other day our MP lined his pockets to the tune of a couple of billion, pumped his shitcoin, tipped off his friends about about the stock market movements he was going to cause, sent a couple of good deals to his kids and threatened war on a couple of countries just to please his buddies. And that's just the last couple of months... /s

What you do is called "black-and-white thinking" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splitting_(psychology)?useskin...
Chat control 1 or 2?
A parliamentary process where a law is being proposed, amended and voted upon isn't "corruption".
Just because you disagree with a law, that doesn't make it "corruption" - it does make you an authoritarian that attacks democracy as soon as other people don't vote like you want.
Chat control 1 was rejected by the parliament and then passed anyway because parliament doesn't matter. Hardly democratic.
That's a lie - chat control was amended and then passed via parliament vote.
Please stop spreading fabrications - even when you dislike the result. That's fascist behaviour.
> A parliamentary process where a law is being proposed, amended and voted upon isn't "corruption".
If the law is initiated by the parliament and not by some company through lobby. Lobby is corruption.
Not nearly the same thing. Trump and his family have made billions. I cannot say the same of von der Leyen.
Which of those two leaders were elected by the people?
The European Parliament is elected by vote and has to ratify the chosen members of the EU council. The president of the council included.

I'm not sure what that's supposed to imply because if Ursula von der Leyen manages to be less corrupt without being elected by the people that has some uncharitable consequences for the quality of the American electorate, I think HL Mencken had something to say on this

Certainly Van Der Leyen.
I suggest you show up for next EU election if you don't like the option.

What's your point? You'd rather have a democratically elected but corrupt leader than an appointed but honest one?
