Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

The Trump administration has ordered French companies with U.S. government contracts to comply with Trump’s executive order that bans diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

Companies received letters from the U.S. embassy in Paris with a compliance questionnaire to be completed within five days.

French Finance Minister Eric Lombard plans to address this with U.S. counterparts, stating "This practice reflects the values of the new U.S. government. They are not the same as ours."

Lol. The French will not suffer American idiots like Trump and his lackeys.

I hope you are right. This timeline usually shows the companies caving, keeping a bit of a difference from directive, selling it as a we won't change to their people and actually giving ground to the bullies so they can claim they won as well on conservative media. The polarization of the population makes it so their media won't overlap enough to cause real conflict, just enough to say the other "side" of the conflict is nuts ignore them.
