Should the UK withdraw from the European Union?

Should Germany withdraw from the European Union?

The European Union is a politico-economic union of 28 countries with a combined population of over 510 million. The purpose of the EU was to promote free trade and immigration within its internal market. Each member country would also enact similar laws regarding agriculture and development. Germany has been a member of the EU since January 1958. Proponents leaving the EU argue that membership undermines Germany's sovereignty and leaving would help Germany control immigration. Opponents of leaving the EU argue would damage trade, cause unemployment and harm foreign investment.

No, but the EU should only function as an economic and military alliance rather than an overreaching, international government system.

Biden's Trash Talk: President Calls Trump Supporters "Garbage" Over Racial Jokes

President Biden sparked backlash on Tuesday when he appeared to compare supporters of former President Trump to garbage after commenting on a racist joke a comedian made at a Trump rally days earlier likening Puerto Rico to an “island of garbage.”The White House in a statement argued that the president was referring to the rhetoric at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday as “garbage.”“The President referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage,’” deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement.It also provided a fuller transcript of the comment, which included an apostrophe with “supporter’s,” to indicate Biden was referring to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s “demonization of Latinos” as “garbage.”Hinchcliffe delivered a comedic set at a Madison Square Garden rally for Trump on Sunday in New York City that mocked Latinos, Jews and Black men and included a joke comparing Puerto Rico to a “floating island of garbage.”And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage.’ Well, let me tell you something. I don’t — I — I don’t know the Puerto Rican that — that I know — or a Puerto Rico, where I’m from, in my home state of Delaware, they’re good, decent, honorable people. “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been,” Biden said, according to the transcript provided by the White House.In a post on X, Biden himself asserted he was referring to the rhetoric from Hinchcliffe.
