^ You forgot "Debilicity". :O:

You suggesting that democracy across the pond? :D

Not just them but practically all, everywhere, including ourselves. The Greeks called it:


KAKISTOCRACY.

World leaders call it bullying, when it's actually just assertiveness, and initiative. and they're upset because He's telling them what he's going to do rather than asking for their input before he does it.

You keep believing that, but he must be doing something right, he founded Tesla, Space-X, co-founded OpenAI, runs -X, not to mention a few other endeavors over his adult life. He's a hell of a lot more qualified to Audit the U.S. books than the head of the IRS.

Europe did nothing to prevent the invasion of Ukraine, and once it happened, rather than find a way to put a stop to it, they sent just enough "support" to perpetuate the fighting. (the U.S. is not blameless in this). Nobody picked up a phone and called Putin and engage him directly, or even threaten him with direct military action if he did not stop. It's not that Russia is strong that's got your panties in a bunch, but the fact that Trump has bypassed Europe in looking for a cessation of the fighting, and that has exposed just how weak the European position is. (if you piss Putin off too bad, he'll just turn off your lights)

Those are a musts, and wins. Now on to deporting illegals and enforcing the law, we good.

Thank you for the support and I appreciate your posts immensely as well.

On that note, here's a court filing from Friday from defendant Ann Selzer in Trump's lawsuit over a poll she made during the election campaign where Trump is trying to step all over the First Amendment's freedom of the press.

"Mr. Trump and Ms. Miller-Meeks allege their campaigns “expend[ed] extensive time and
resources to mitigate and counteract the harms” of the Iowa Poll, though they do not allege what
those resources or expenditures were. (Id. at ¶¶ 131–32.) Rep. Miller-Meeks alleges her close race
triggered a “costly recount.” (Id. at ¶ 91.) Under Iowa law, the State of Iowa—not Rep. Miller
Meeks or her campaign—paid for the recount. Iowa Code § 50.48(2)(a). Mr. Zaun, who lost his
state senate seat to Democrat Matt Blake by four points, alleges Blake’s victory “upon information
and belief [was] fueled by momentum from” the Iowa Poll. (Id. at ¶ 101.) Plaintiffs also allege the
poll “deceived Iowans who contributed to their campaigns.” (Id. at ¶¶ 117–18.)"

"A former KGB officer claims that Donald Trump was recruited by the Soviet secret service in 1987. What is behind this sensational accusation?"

"When it comes to Trump's strange relationship with Russia , speculation often arises as to whether Trump had already made himself vulnerable to blackmail or otherwise surrendered himself to the then Soviet Union.
After his trip to Moscow, Trump suddenly began taking out full-page newspaper ads in major American publications criticizing US foreign policy and NATO in particular - a move that some have repeatedly suspected was influenced by Trump's interactions with Soviet officials. These are positions that Trump has continued to represent for decades, right up to the present day."


Background for Trump's activities in Moscow back then

Something Trump said really blew me up, it was so putinist, I hope it was fake news.


"The Ukraine started the war, not Putin" this was after his meeting with the dictator. If its true as reported in a dubious UK left wing press, its horrible. Also reported was absolute anger in Europe.

Don't know whether it is true or not-What I wonder is:

Can he, if the story is true, remain in the White House ?

@Mapuc Please watch this and tell me what you think.

Not much to do with this video, but one comment is "I believe now is the ideal time for UK intelligence to take a deeper dive into all past reports on Putin and Trump, particularly their meetings back in 2013."
I guess they did it already, who should hinder them, outside the US.

^ Not going to watch the video, not saying it's not worth watching though. However he is the President in another country where I have zero impact on the politics. This is why it has to be the American authorities who shall investigate it and perhaps remove him from office or not.

^ it is not about what you seem to think it is just about Trump's policy towards Russia, and what we can expect. He remains very calm, but tells that Europe has to take over when it comes to support for Ukraine.
Otherwise Russia will continue to attack other countries in 4-5 years, and we probably cannot expect the US to help, with or without NATO.

I've seen other videos where the same was mentioned.

You're right it seems like Europe is on its own.
