@Earl-of-Trumps saidCrappier government service to its constituents isn't "progress".
The world is pushing to have their citizens speak English. There are actually more English speakers in China then the USA.
Do you see how anti-progress the democrats are?? they want us all in diverse groups, it;s easier to control them
As usual, democrats SUCK
@AverageJoe1 saidIt will be undone when sanity returns to DC. Meanwhile the states, municipalities, businesses, and myriad third-party sites will continue to translate everything into foreign languages for those who need it.

Is he not a surprise a minute!!?!??
All Trump is doing is alienating more and more folks for no good reason other than to just be a dick. *yawn*

English isn’t even an official language in England.
@uzless saidWrong questions.
If the US were to actually have a competent woman run for office it might make a difference. Hillary and Kamala?? HA!!!
btw....
40% of women voted for Trump in 2016 instead of clinton
45% of women voted for Trump this year instead of harris
how can you complain that women don't have representation when almost half of women didn't vote for the women who were running? Why should men vote for the women if the women themselves won't even vote for them?
I am not "complaining" that women have no representation.
I'm complaining that men make sure that that representation doesn't result in actual change. Half the women in Congress vote directly against women by voting for the patriarchy. Marjorie Taylor Greene is not helping women with her "representation".
Trump cons people. It's what he does. We had thought Kamala was the antidote to that. She made men scared that they would somehow lose something by supporting her. This was a bad approach, but Trump and the patriarchy made sure that was all men heard, even though she constantly explained the danger of Trump. Men decided to stand behind their man, rather than listen to reason. Now they are seeing the truth of what Kamala was saying. But now it's too late, for all of us.
Now the logic flaws:
"40% of women voted for Trump in 2016 instead of clinton
45% of women voted for Trump this year instead of harris"
That means 60% of women voted for Clinton. And 55% voted for Harris.
You have no argument in this direction.
The minority men's vote is what I found shocking. They loudly threw their vote behind The Man that they have been fighting for years. Because the option was voting for a woman. Shameful. Shameful AND stupid.

My honest opinion is; these women that voted for Trump are the supposed Christian women here in the USA; and, there are many.
I personally have had many 'strong quarrels' with my home church's over voting for any democrat. They preach and teach that being a Christian demands that one must also vote Republican. It's disgusting to say the least. One reason that I do not attend a church any longer here in the USA.
The supposed Christian church here in the USA is what gave trumpty poo his foot-hold in American politics; go figure that one. 🙄

You're right, but it was a criticism of Trump. AND his voters.

Maybe they listen to Paul and yield to their husbands. They will have no excuse.
I still go to church. I treat it like work, I don't speak politics there, either.
But my church is the Episcopal Church of America. They run a bit more liberal than the bigger churches, especially the "evangelical" ones. We have women pastors, even women bishops, like the one who recently asked Trump for mercy and was shouted down.
They are a bit more "oldschool" though, in a way. They have saints and feast days and confession and Communion and other "rites". After all, it IS Anglicanism, which was founded as an alternative to the RCC. They have a much nicer Book of Common Prayer, though. Try one out, you might like it.
Jesus would never have been Republican. It's like saying he would've been Roman. It's ridiculous. Yeah, and disgusting.

@no1marauder saidNow we have Marauder sahing a country should NOT have an official language. I will not even bother him with 'why',,,,but, why do progressives feel like they have to change somehing every 20 minutes. But given that they do, why can't we officiate the language?
More petty harassment of average Americans for no logical reason. About 20% of US citizens speak another language at home, why make it harder on them?https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2022/12/languages-we-speak-in-united-states.html
@Suzianne saidThen, What is stopping us, the USA, from having the website in all 190 languages of the world. You are silly as usual. No logic. You have no logic.
A Spanish-language version of the White House website, up for years, was actually deleted, not just taken down, but deleted by Trump's administration.
