Passports are issued by member states according to their own rules, with their own different serialisations. They have common features for biometrics to conform to EU standards (which are really just ISO standards*, translated into French and back), so that they can be used at any entry point, but they're not issued by the EU.
*This is the real problem with the EU: It is largely just a translation service for directives from the UNECE, ISO, and other international regulatory bodies. It gilds the lilly a great deal and locks its members into "common positions", but in the end it is a largely pointless organisation that only really serves to slow everything down and make it more expensive, while making a loud noise about how important it is. This isn't a surprise, given it was originally conceived by a frenchman.
Always assume this is the case. Governments love to seize land on behalf of their corporate "partners". They'll be passing brown envelopes back and forth like a small child at a diddy party.
NUTS. NUTS out. Come on man!

"Hey, what's the smartest thing to do with this very popular and beloved squirrel?"
"Well, considering our internet opponents labeled us as cat and dog hating Haitian cumrags for 2 months, I say the best thing to do is euthanize it."
"Genius, let's put the fucker down. And the raccoon too, for good measure."
Retards.

Iowa Paper Endorses Kamala: Lies Almost Immediately When Giving Reasons
Article | Archive
Immediate lies:
Trump did denounce white supremacy.
He did not downplay COVID's severity anymore than the Dems who told people to "Go hug a Chinese American in Chinatown" while calling Trump a racist as he tried to shut down travel from China.
They then cry about a guided tour on Jan 6th and lie about Kamala having a plan while outlining her gibs that she has no way to fund.
Trump also did not take away reproductive freedom. Justices acting independently of him ruled correctly that Roe v Wade was terrible(as many legal scholars even on the left have said as well) and reversed the ruling making abortion a states rights issue as it should always have been. The DNC had the chance to enshrine Roe during Obama's administration but failed to because they do not care about women or babies they care about having an issue that was a guaranteed win as their policies foreign and domestic have been garbage and have only damaged the Republic for nearly 100 years.
This is the most disgusting form of in-kind contribution I can think of and those at the paper tarnish the First Amendment with this blatant propaganda.
The endorsement does not bother me. The nature of the reasoning published bothers me. Either this paper knows they are lying and are publishing known lies or they are ignorant of what they are doing. I cannot really decide which is worse but either way this paper should not be trusted by anyone going forward.

Four years ago, we endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president. And much of our endorsement centered on what we saw as Republican President Donald Trump’s failures and his unfitness to serve a second term.
As the pandemic still raged, we criticized his response to COVID. Trump downplayed the severity of the virus in public while privately acknowledging its deadly threat.
He set in motion the Supreme Court’s ruling ending reproductive freedom.
Trump failed to condemn white supremacists, energized by Trump’s incendiary immigration rhetoric. And even before his defeat, we noted that Trump refused to commit to a peaceful transition of power if he lost.
The Jan. 6 happened. Amid our anger over the attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters trying to stop the certification of electoral votes, we demanded Trump resign with 13 days left in his term.
Instead, and unbelievably, he’s back on the brink of winning a second term. And Trump is a more ominous threat to democracy now than he was in 2020.
So, we endorse Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
In addition to fearing an authoritarian will snatch the presidency again, we support several of Harris’ policy proposals.
We support her plan to expand the child tax credit and provide middle- and low-income Americans with a credit up to $6,000 for a child’s first year of life.
We back her plan to adjust Medicare to help seniors who want to receive care at home. Medicare would cover eye exams and glasses. And Harris would seek to expand the $35 cap on insulin for Medicare recipients to every American.
To address housing, Harris would provide up $25,000 in down payment assistance and a $10,000 tax credit to first-time homebuyers. Harris wants to build more housing and pursue legislation to rein in high rent.
We support Harris’ effort to make more generous Affordable Care Act subsidies that expire at the end of 2025.
The centerpiece of Trump’s economic plan is a series of across-the-board tariff’s on goods imported into the United States. Trump would impose a 60% tariff on Chinese goods and is considering a 100 or %200 percent tariff on vehicles made in Mexico or any goods manufactured by American companies that move to Mexico
Trump seems to believe the tariffs will produce government revenue. In reality, the costs will be passed on to American consumers. And U.S. tariffs are certain to spark a round of retaliatory tariffs imposed by other nations.
Twenty-three Nobel winners in economics have concluded Harris’ plans are superior to those offered by Trump.
They also come without flashing warning lights for democracy.
Last weekend’s Trump rally at Madison Square Garden offered many examples of the sort of campaign Trump is running and how he would govern.
A comedian called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” and joked about Latinos not using birth control, Jews being cheap and referenced watermelon during an exchange with a Black member of the audience.
Other speakers labeled Harris a prostitute and the Antichrist.
Trump has talked about using the military and Department of Justice to attack “the enemy within,” including his political opponents. Trump has called Inauguration Day “Liberation Day” if he wins. If he doesn’t, he likely won’t accept the outcome.
The best way to avoid the shredding of the Constitution is voting for Harris and dealing Trump a loss he can’t come back from.
Endorsements for Congress
Note: Our congressional endorsements were informed by press coverage, debates and the candidates’ public statements.
1st District
The race in the 1st Congressional District is rematch between Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Democrat Christina Bohannan, a University of Iowa law professor
We endorse Bohannan.
Much of the campaign has centered on differing views on abortion rights. Bohannan opposes abortion bans, such as the one that took affect in Iowa. Miller-Meeks is pro-life and supports abortion restrictions.
Miller-Meeks tries to moderate her stance by backing exceptions to an abortion ban, such as allowing an abortion to save a mother’s life and for victims of rape and incest.
But any law that bans nearly all abortions is anything but moderate. Physicians have criticized the vague exception for a medical emergency in Iowa’s law. Advocates have panned the rape and incest exceptions.
On immigration, Bohannan supports the bipartisan reform plan that was shelved due to objections from Donald Trump. Miller-Meeks downplays the reform plan while bashing her opponent.
On both abortion and immigration, we side with Bohannan.
2nd District
The race in the 2nd District pits Republican U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson against Democratic newcomer Sarah Corkery and no-party candidate Jody Puffett.
Our endorsement goes to Corkery.
As with Miller-Meeks, Hinson cloaks her extreme stand on banning abortion by mentioning her support for exceptions. Corkery points out that Hinson opposed bills guaranteeing access to contraception.
On immigration, Hinson basically repeats Republican talking points. Corkery supports the bipartisan immigration reform bill and questions whether Republicans are truly pro-life as Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott installed razor wire on the border.
But the biggest red flag for us is Hinson’s unwavering support for Donald Trump’s agenda. She has been endorsed by Trump and has linked her campaign to his candidacy.

What is worse is lefties I know deny this ever happened. They deny businesses were damaged for trying to stay open using the precautions demanded by tyrannical governors.

The commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation (the state department which was behind the seizure of the animals) is appointed by the governor of New York. With that in mind though, realistically speaking there is a good chance some low level bureaucrat was behind the decision.

Yeah? Well, somebody doesn't know how memetic association works.
By associating these behaviors and prejudices to a group of people, the truth of the situation doesn't mean jack shit. We've seen that firsthand for years. Brainwashing the masses is easy, brainwashing the masses with (even if not entirely true) evidence is easier.
You just have to point and go 'look, look, see, the Democrats DO hate your pets, they DO hate animals!' No amount of 'ackshually'-ing will help you when you decide to fucking euthanize THE SQUIRREL VERSION OF AIRBUD. Woops, free political ammo for the nazis to use. Totally avoidable.
It doesn't matter if the person who decided on the raid was elected or not, New York is a Democrat city, and that's enough to start a new wave of 'Democrats hate animals' memes.
Humanity LOVES animals. This was an EXCEPTIONALLY retarded thing to do so soon after the Springfield, Ohio shit. Still fresh in people's minds.

We’re trying to get there with DEI. Immigration and the economy are the two big, obvious issues but the competency crisis is right behind it. One day when I am safely at another job in another state, I would like to get into the insane balancing act medical institutions have to do to maintain their reputations on one hand while hiring as many low iq sheboons as possible on the other. We all joke that if we get sick just to drop us off at the other place nearby. Everybody knows what the problem is, everybody can see that things run less safely and efficiently than before, and nobody can talk about it. They haven’t totally run off the precipice yet—don’t see many Shaniquas among the physicians and upper level management—but it can’t continue like this, or it will end up worse than Europe.

Normies probably think Roe v. Wade was some kind of "moral argument," saying abortion has to be legal because reproductive rights or something, but they don't understand how utterly retarded Roe v. Wade was. Basically saying abortion was somehow permitted when the constitution was made, which means it was considered by the Founding Fathers.
It's so stupid (not to mention it also opens a can of worms as to what was supposedly allowed by the Founding Fathers, if you can have states that were added to the Union agree on "tacit" rights that are in no way explained, etc.) that it doesn't surprise me at all it was an argument made by two women.

iirc even RBG herself, part of Team Roe before she was on SCOTUS, was quite vocal that RvW was a _very_ dodgy ruling and would be overturned as a matter of "when" rather than "if"

That’s more a commentary on the Canadian housing market, but she’s middle class in a very “Upper-Middle-class-but-not-Upper-Upper-Class-In-The-West”. She’s from two fairly wealthy families. Bitch is from Tamil Brahmin stock and fairly upper class Jamaican. Her mother really didn’t struggle, iirc, she was a doctor who had family help in raising her half breeds.
Trump, I believe, grew up in Queens in a wealthy neighborhood, but his house sold for like $2.9 million in 2018 so it might be like $7 million now.
