  1. Isn't that down to the judge in this case to decide regards various EU employment laws.
  2. Musk's attempt at that mass email ultimatum and subsequent firing not looking so good for him now. The firing of European VP has been overruled by an Irish Court. Twitter has reinstated senior Irish executive Sinéad McSweeney following generic ‘firing’ email, High Court told Twitter has told the High Court that it has restored Irish-based senior executive Sinéad McSweeney to her position with the company. Last week Ms McSweeney, who is Twitter's global vice president for public policy, secured a temporary High Court injunction preventing the social networking giant from terminating her employment. She claimed that by not responding to a generic and vague e-mail sent to all of Twitter employees by its multibillionaire owner Elon Musk earlier this month, she was treated as if she was no longer employed by the company. https://www.independent.ie/business/technology/news/twitter-has-reinstated-senior-irish-executive-sinead-mcsweeney-following-generic-firing-email-high-court-told-42185817.html
  3. The EU is planning a stress test in 2023 before carrying out a full audit. Musk has said he will get twitter ready to comply EU warns Elon Musk of possible Twitter ban under new rules Elon Musk has been told he faces "huge work ahead" to bring Twitter into compliance with new European rules on disinformation or face a possible ban. European Union commissioner Thierry Breton made the comments in a meeting with Mr Musk on Wednesday. He said the social media site would have to address issues such as content moderation, disinformation and targeted adverts. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63816110
  4. Statement by President von der Leyen on Russian accountability and the use of Russian frozen assets Russia must also pay financially for the devastation that it caused, the damage suffered by Ukraine is estimated at 600 billion euros, Russia and its oligarchs have to compensate Ukraine for the damage and cover the costs for rebuilding the country. And we have the means to make Russia pay, we have blocked 300 billion euros of the Russian Central Bank reserves and we have frozen 19 billion euros of Russian oligarchs' money. In the short term, we could create, with our partners, a structure to manage these funds and invest them. We would then use the proceeds for Ukraine. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/statement_22_7307
  5. Lets get this done!! Important announcement from Ursula von der Leyen European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed creating a special international court to probe Russian actions in Ukraine and using frozen Russian assets to help rebuild the nation.
  6. This article from July 2022 gives a good insight into why the Republicans were opposed to it and why this was such an important bill to pass. Republicans’ Cowardly Excuses for Not Protecting Marriage Equality There is absolutely no reason to believe that fundamental rights of same-sex couples are safe. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/07/gop-respect-for-marriage-act-obergefell-supreme-court/670985/
  7. Certainly not a big waste of time to those who it affects and who were actively campaigning for this.
  8. Why did 36 vote against it and only 12 for then? Full List of Republicans Who Voted Against Interracial Marriage Law https://www.newsweek.com/senate-passes-respect-marriage-act-1763282
  9. After the European Parliament designated Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism it looks like the US is considering doing the same to the Wagner Group. Quite right to imo, gang of brutal murdering thugs with no accountability for their actions US Is Weighing a Terrorism Label for Russia’s Wagner Group Mercenaries The group’s troops are fighting in Ukraine and in Africa Its founder Yevgeny Prigozhin is a close ally of Putin Labeling Wagner a foreign terrorist organization would allow the US to pursue criminal prosecution against the group and its members, as well as go after its assets around the globe. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-29/russia-s-wagner-group-mercenaries-may-be-labeled-terrorists-by-the-us
  10. What do you disagree with in the Whitehouse statement? "But again, social media companies have a responsibility to prevent their platforms from being used by any user to incite violence especially violence directed at individual communities as we have been seeing and the president has been very clear on calling that out. He’ll continue to do that, and we’re going to continue to monitor the situation," Jean-Pierre concluded. What is your version of free speech?
  11. "A win for truth seekers" Since when does misinformation on covid magically become the truth? Just because you can you post it now on twitter does not make it true. Truth is the product of fact. If something is not factually correct it is still misinformation and can be proven so. Musk has allowed misinformation not truth.
  12. Yet what he actually said was: Jimenez reported that the daylight protests “were largely peaceful,” but the situation quickly changed at night. “What you are seeing now, these images, came and come in stark contrast to what we saw over the course of the daytime hours in Kenosha and into the early evening, which were largely peaceful demonstrations in the face of law enforcement,” Jimenez said.
  13. I'm aware what she did, its all in the article I linked to, he also said if she really wants her account back, she can have it," he said. "For $8," he added, referencing his proposed paid-verification checkmark system for $7.99 a month. I guess he said the same to all the others mentioned in the article that also changed their names in a parody of him.
  14. Twitter suspended comedian Kathy Griffin's account on Sunday evening after she jokingly pretended to be Elon Musk on the platform and mocked him in several tweets. Griffin now joins a range of several celebrities and figures who had their Twitter handles suspended for parodying Musk. A week earlier, the billionaire had declared that "comedy is now legal on Twitter," after buying the platform. https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-suspends-kathy-griffins-account-after-she-parodied-elon-musk-2022-11
  15. As we know Musk often self deletes tweets and meme's. He deleted another a few hours ago in reference to apple: Elon Musk shared a tweet, showing that he is willing to 'Go to War' with Apple rather than pay the 30 per cent tax. However, the billionaire seems to have deleted the tweet. Business Today managed to get a screengrab of the tweet. https://www.businesstoday.in/technology/news/story/elon-musk-may-go-to-war-with-apple-as-iphone-maker-threatens-to-withhold-twitter-354500-2022-11-29
  16. Freedom, right to bear arms all paranoid fixations from a socially awkward individual
  17. Targeting civilian infrastructure, power grids, water in Ukraine occupied cities and territories leaving millions without heat is using winter as a war weapon and is also a war crime.
  18. The irony being Musk is tweeting from an iphone lol
  19. As you can see from vid. The Russian conscipts are getting none of that + you are still missing all the other counties donating winter clothing to Ukraine
  20. Now playing the victim, reminds me of a certain orange man. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1597300125243944961 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1597285572699074560
  21. Musk getting paranoid, posted a photo of his bedside table.........lol https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1597165510595989504
  22. You missed out 100's of 1000's of uniforms and other winter gear already donated from countless other countries, charities and of course the US. Its not just uniforms needed either, sleeping bags, tents, including heated tents, heaters, generators, basics such as gloves. By the way, Canada donated 500,000 units not 50k. Meanwhile Russians have to buy their own equipment or bring it with them including sleeping bags, they are not supplied with the most basic medical kits, they are told to steal them from cars. No bandages or tourniquets, told to bring tampons instead.
  23. Head of the propaganda RT News tells them to deal with it............ Simonyan to mobilized men who complained about their conditions: "It's war. You're men. Bear with it!" Then she tells story about a Russian doctor in Arctic expedition who cut out his own appendicitis
  24. Separate clip of Russian's suffering the cold Video of a russian soldier checking in on his comrades,... three of whom died overnight from the cold. Need to be logged into twitter to view
  25. Just goes to show how it was not just the Russians who defeated Germany as the other poster stated but a joint effort by the allied forces.
