...and in other news

I am repulsed by Trump not attracted by Democratic leadership.

You are definitely repulsed by Trump. Somehow in your deranged mind you still voted for the 'unattractive Democrat leadership' despite the fact that you were a "Reagan Republican", LOL. You just are in total alignment with them on policy which includes fraud, waste, abuse, corruption and excess spending despite the fact you whine about Trump and Doge never being able to balance the budget. Funny you vote for the party that doesn't care a whit about even attempting to reign in excess spending then belittle the group that is trying to attack it.

But, I'm well past trying to square the lack of logic pulsating through your brain. It is impossible.
 
We should let them wither on the vine. We are America. We should take care of the Americas first. We are not a European country.
I’ll throw out the counter argument:

Europe has never been calmer in the past 1500 to 2000 years (or more) since the US has stationed troops there. Now one might say “it’s not our problem” but it twice became our problem in the last century. We lost a lot of American soldiers as a result.

We've got I believe 25,000 troops along the DMZ. Should North Korea attack those guys are dead - nothing more than a tripwire against a million North Koreans.

Trump is again angling for the European allies to pay for US forces over there just as he got South Korea to pay money to the US for US forces in SK.

The US has some key assets in Europe (bases) that they will want to keep. But, with the ISR today, there is no need to have such a large presence. Biden and most of the world knew Putin had massed forces for a post-Olympics attack - and he did just that. Thanks Jeff!

Our strong presence in Europe in 2022 did nothing with a weak party and president in office. The common theme is weakness invites aggression.

But is Ukraine “Europe”? I suppose reasonable minds will differ on the answer to that but almost everyone will agree that Poland and the Baltic states are. Russia made noise there but knew to leave them alone.

I don’t think we remove all of our troops. We still need to have military bases all over the world to walk softly, but carry a big stick to protect our commerce. If they want daddy to defend them, they need to cover a lot more of our expenses. We need to be done getting financially abused by Europeens.

Until Trump renames the continents, Ukraine is most definitely in Europe as is a chunk of Russia.

Ukraine is certainly not our ally by treaty. They were the Democrats and many Republicans' ally with respect to deep corruption.

Poland and the Baltic states are not the problem when it comes to NATO. They do their part. At least as of a decade ago, the French needed US assets to transport their forces to warzones! One of the original 5 nuclear powers was incapable of waging expeditionary war! Germany, France and even England are the big problem.

 


This guy seems to be trying to build a name for himself. I don’t blame him for going to every event possible, instead of fixing the issues he helped create in Aurora.

He was front and center downplaying the TdA issues in Aurora.

You deep thinkers fail to see that we have military bases all over the world TO PROTECT U.S. INTERESTS. Really numbskulls like Trump.
 
Not one American has gone to the battlefield, or will. It has to do with selling out an ally for Putin because Trump is his Beyotch. Nothing more.
So you won’t send your own kids to Europe or the Middle East? Instead you will send poor black and Hispanic kids(plus the Christi fascists you hate). Send your own kids. Send them now or STFU.

That guy is a loser. The VP and SoS said something completely different. Those are the power players.

Lmao…this is the nonsense peddled for decades..conflating European security and middle eastern tribal/religious wars with American interests
We're in debt $37 trillion or so and the leftist poster wants us repeating the same crap we've done for many decades. The saying "stupid is as stupid does" is quite fitting with that post.

The hilarity of these fools is that they didn't report on egg prices. Every day Americans who go to buy them, already knew how much they cost and how much the cost had risen under Biden. Now they decide to make it look like the new Administration caused the egg prices to go up. People are sick of the nonsense. It's why their ratings are way down.

This guy is responsible for effing up Illinois. Look at the pension he gets for turning Illinois into a debt-ridden poorly governed state.

 
This stuff makes me chuckle. Thousands, probably tens of thousands, of gov't employess, many of whom are likely less well vetted and monitored than DOGE, have access to all manner of data on us but we're supposed to be terrified and shocked over a long overdue financial audit. I can't remember whether the requirement for every transaction over $600 to be logged with the feds became a thing or not, but the hypocrisy is getting really tiresome. There's still a cohort out there who lap it up, obviously, but it's really getting to be rather sad.

It was a thing for 1 year. I think 2022. The next year they didn’t bother. Any site you sold gear on had to issue you a 1099, if you sold more than $600 in a year. Pretty dumb. Used gear sells for less than what you buy it for. They want to keep track of the average joe recouping less money than they spent.
