Summary

Senate Democrats are working to confirm up to 30 of President Biden’s federal judicial nominees before the new Republican-led Congress is seated on January 3.

With Biden’s 214 judicial appointments so far, he could surpass the number Trump achieved in his first term if pending nominees are confirmed.

This rush is driven by Democrats’ desire to solidify Biden’s legacy of liberal appointees, especially as Trump prepares to assume office with a Republican Senate. The tight schedule will depend on high Democratic attendance and the support of moderate Republicans.

Trump, meanwhile, has called for Democrats to halt approvals, sparking accusations of hypocrisy.

    I can tell you didn’t actually read my comment, or you would have seen we didn’t speak the language.

    No one expects anyone new to a country to be able to speak the language, it’s a bonus, but not expected.

    No one cares that you are American, other than a few strays. My experience has been that being American actually made people currious about me and I would say more friendly.

    I’m an Electronic Tech, but that job here is over saturated so I had to find a new path. I personally picked nursing. To be able to go the school for that I had to learn the language from scratch. I attended an Integrations class, that got me from a0-b1 in the language. After that I attended another class to get me to b2. It took roughly 2 years to get to where I am now.

    I had zero savings, my ex wife had just passed away a few days before Christmas, helping with her funeral drained what little I did have put away. I kept hearing about school shootings and in one week our local walmart had been shot up and a kid was stopped from bringing a gun into my sons school. I said I’m done, we’re leaving, I sold my car and bought plane tickets. Life fucking has to suck sometimes before it can get better. Everyday for a long time was a struggle, but now we are on our feet again and happy.

    If anyone reads this and wants advice/tips dm me.

    It’s better to struggle than to live under Facisim.

      I’m goad this worked out for you (despite you never naming which country you immigrated from and which you emigrated to). But I assume you’re not American, and haven’t actually looked into this. And you’re wildly, wildly out of touch if you think your exception to the rule is somehow the rule.

      Yes, they do care if you’re American, yes they do care what degrees and certifications you hold, and yes, they do expect you to be proficient in the language. I’ve looked into, parts of Canada require you to have a certain level of proficiency in French. The Netherlands want you proficient in Dutch, the countries that people want to move to require language proficiency if your only language is English.

      Your advice is basically drop everything, move somewhere, and hope they don’t deport you. Wow, what a way to live a life, why hasn’t everyone in America done this, and if it’s so easy, why do all these countries have these application processes and wait times and language tests? Why do so few Americans actually emigrate every year?

      Must be because we’re all stupid and don’t understand you just move somewhere, live in squalor for an indefinite period of time (minimum two years, it sounds like), and then everything just works out. Wow, it’s so easy.

        I’m going to say this as nice as I can. You’re not only very wrong, but very ignorant. If you know how to read the comments I’ve said the country. If you weren’t a complete moron you could look through my comment history to see I’m being honest, but then again… you aren’t the brightest.

          Gotta love when users go to insulting intelligence and acting like them screaming their argument louder makes them more corrector.

          You’re lived experience is yours, it’s not the lived experience of everyone. Not everyone has the means, money, ability, or desire to just sell everything they own and start over somewhere new, completely alone.

          So, once again, not everyone can just drop everything, hop in a plane, and hope the new country takes them in with zero issue.

          You’re also a man, I assume, since you mentioned a deceased wife and then your children. And since you’re German, odds are you’re also white. So how easy is it for the Arab trans woman to just drop everything and be accepted in a completely new country with no rights as a non-citizen?

          Oh wait, they’re just being silly, they should just be a white man from a European country, and follow your exact life path because it’s the only possible way, and any other way is lazy.

          You’re laughably out of touch, and since you’ve resorted to insults, I’m done with this conversation. I swear Lemmy is worse than Reddit, ffs.

            Lol again, you’re wrong and an idiot. Language has no color.

            I have to resort to insults for stupid people that make dumb accusations about me. Please, quit being so dumb. It’s hurting me and your family (no friends) and everyone that has to be around you.

            Edit: “more correcter” says way more about you than you think.
