well sure, you can choose not to pay for the services received in a foreign land because they won't swear to be racist assholes too - and then no one will supply services ... how well will that work for you?

Of all the weird shit coming out of the Trump cesspool of stupidity, this is the weirdest. But it's par for the course when you have a clowncar of idiots in charge of such dumbfuckery.

So they don't want anyone practicing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion so by inference they want Uniformity, Inequality and Exclusion. Kind of sums up the Trump Administration

That clause about not paying the contractor if they sneak some DEI onto the jobsite is pure, vintage Trump. Stiffing contractors is called "cost control" at the Trump Organization.

What Elon did with Tesla, Trump is doing exponentially.

Poisoning the brand.

My letter to my two US Senators just now:

Trump will turn us into his version of North Korea before he is finished enriching himself at our expense, and deporting anyone he doesn't like or disagrees with him, in violation of his oath of office he is running the US from the Oval Office and declaring the He Alone is the United States of America. This draft dodging felon styles himself as the Pope, Rambo, and King. Those are not jokes.

They are reflections of his mind's eye. He really believes he is the embodiment of this country and I am terrified that he will succeed in running this country into the ground like he has done to every business he has engaged in, and betrayed every woman he has betrayed, bankrupted actual money-making businesses, and now through his scrambled egg version of an administration is killing off all the positive regard people in other countries have had for us.

This letter to you will be published elsewhere as a warning to this country that we are being betrayed.

He must be removed from office. We now have a president who has bragged about avoiding military service and now wants a parade in his honor - His 100 million dollar birthday present to himself at our expense. And it is all at our expense. Trump never uses his own money, he grifts, and weasels other people's money because he is a thief and a liar, and a serial law breaker because no one has been able to stop him.

I am not joking, he is not fooling most of America and the world, that if he could, he would crown himself emperor and is willing to trash the US Constitution and isolate this country from the rest of the world believing somehow we are his giant department store, and at the same time driving major American corporations to other countries in his bid to make us great again.

I am not willing as an American citizen to have you, or any member of congress sit by and allow him to remake this country into the cheap, gilded, tawdry version of himself in a blue suit and a red tie and orange bronzed face as some god in modern dress ruling on high from his palace at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, his Mar-A-Largo version of a new Olympus.

This keeps me awake at night, and your inaction and cowardice in the face of the man traducing our nation by blatantly enforcing his white supremacist views on our institutions, agencies, and erasing the history of people who have died for this nation who happen not to be white, or Christian.

This will not stand. And if it does it will be a losing gamble you, have made with a devil who thinks he is a good business man and smarter than anyone else while he and his team of ex Fox newscasters and recruits from the business world use hate, fear and division, all the while claiming to have the right to make his own laws in contravention his oath of office to protect and defend this country from enemies foreign and domestic - because he is exactly that, and like a highly contagious disease will kill and harm anyone who stands in his way.

Impeach him, and I am not even going to ask - I am telling you, my elected representative in Congress, to do this before, you, yourself are told to go home because Congress is no longer necessary to his reign of terror in the name of running the country as he has done every business he has owned.

Let us expect a rapide global refusal from European Community (Ursula van der Leyen) to avoid multiple bilateral tensions. Obviously right wing renegates such as Orban (Italy) and maybe Melloni (Italy) can be happy to mess it up.

This is a disgrace for the US. Poor guys.

I guess the US Embassy in Stockholm won't be receiving pizza deliveries, janitors, coffee orders, snack vendors, chef meals, IT assistance, mail, utility hookups, maintenence, telephone service, or gassed up vehicles. The felonpotus has indeed made the US the butt of a million jokes. How the mighty falls, one absurdity after another. Just so the regime can coddle poor, aggrieved, White men. I can just see Stockholm mayor's face reading this document, then busting out laughing.

The closest equivalent is "Dra åt helvete" which literally means Go to Hell!

F**k you! also works. Such is the influence of the US on the Swedish language

Ta, Dok. This American wonders what the fuck happened to her country. (Actually, I don't wonder at all; it's racism, misogyny, and a soupçon of antisemitism because Doug Emhoff.)

Has Trump’s regime sent these letters to African nations, where they are so woke that many employees are black?
