I propose a special 100% tax for golf course owners.
You forgot a few zeros.
I am surprised that the EPP mentions the loe taxes American Digital Companys pay in the EU. Fixing that is long overdue.
Since we are dealing with man-childs in the US government another move would be to have all EU and member states institutions collectively leave Twitter. Now if news media would also not prominently feature Musks trolling but give him the cold shoulder unless therr is tangible policy to report on, that would also be great.

Obligatory reminder that https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/explore Is already a thing, you can already follow EU instance on mastodon if you like

The EU does not tend to wage wars with protective tariffs, those are already in place anyway, but by specifically hurting the interests (monetary, pissed-off voting base, etc) of those in charge. It’s how the last time around we ended up with tariffs on motorcycles and peanuts, last I checked Harley-Davidson still didn’t recover and the peanut butter in my next-door supermarket is still Dutch. With all kinds of stars and stripes and bald eagles on it, though.
Look where influential senators have their districts, have a look at their economy, that’s what’s going to get targeted. In Musk’s case they can just target him directly.

This would be a fantastic first step, Mastodon would be ideal since it’s European made but even Bluesky, anything to really pull power away from Twitter/Musk

I thought I was the only one!
I don’t give a shit what Musk thinks about the UK or any of his or Trumps batshit insane ideas
To the mainstream media: I don’t subscribe to Trump or Musks twitter feeds because I don’t give a shit about them, if I wanted to read about the latest mental thing they’re saying on twitter, I would just go to twitter…
Who had “trade wars” on their 2025 bingo card?
Everyone, since Trump won the elections?
I should have clarified “with allies”.
Still everyone, since Trump won the elections? :P Same as last time.
Agreed, if America wants to go back to a protectionist status quo then so be it, the only thing I would argue is that Europe should focus more on supporting Africa in every way that it can
they still too busy exploiting africa; you can tell because they keep asking the french & the west to leave and then inviting the russians and chinese to come in.
LoL…
Where is the surprise?
Fuck around and find out
tit for tat as always
Luckily the other right wing groups (ECR and ID) do not align with this view. The EPP is condemning itself to total irrelevance in EU politics.
