If / When Orange Hitler becomes emperor for life, wtf is Europe supposed to do? Their militaries are beyond atrophied, and they need years to reach sufficient production capacity. So…… China is there only hope i guess? But why tf would China help Europe is the thing…
And we saw the same attitude in Hegseth’s confirmation hearing today. One senator kept asking him if he’d push back on illegal orders from Trump, and his only answer was, “Trump will never give an illegal order”, even though Trump did that at least once last time around. So yeah, not so sure this will work out as planned.
Hirono interrupted, asking her question again: “Would you carry out an order to shoot protesters in the legs, as directed to Secretary Esper?” Hegseth continued talking while she talked.
“You know what, that sounds to me that you will comply with such an order; you will shoot protesters in the leg,” Hirono replied. “Moving on!”
“Can you name the importance of at least one of the nations in ASEAN [Association of Southeast Asian Nations] and what type of agreement we have with at least one of those nations?” she asked.
“I couldn’t tell you the exact amount of nations in that, but I know we have allies in South Korea and Japan and … with Australia,” Hegseth began responding.
Duckworth cut him off to make a major correction.
“None of those three countries that you’ve mentioned are in ASEAN,” she said. “I suggest you do a little homework before you prepare for these types of negotiations.”
ASEAN’s members include Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Australia, one of the countries Hegseth mentioned, isn’t even on the Asian continent.
But it won’t actually be Trump that is screwed over it will be us. It will be like his casinos that went belly up due to his mismanagement. He got out with a a tidy profit it was his investors who got screwed. Now he has the a new investor to screw over, one who can’t turn him down, the US treasury.
That’s not what my Swedish friends tell me: “Do you know why it takes so long for Danish kids to learn how to talk? Because they can’t understand their parents!”
I’ve had it a few times (in American restaurants, so possibly not Authentic Poutine) and it’s one of the most amazing foods I’ve ever had in my life. I can also literally feel my arteries closing up when I eat it, so I don’t have it very often.
French fries and gravy are perfectly American. Hell, they’re Canadian too.
French fries and gravy and cheese curds—that’s poutine, and in spite of being Canadian, I hate it. It’s only become popular in the last 30 years or so, after escaping Quebec.
I’ll take a plate of fries-n-gravy any day. Keep the cheese curds as far away from it as possible.
I am really getting increasingly bewildered by the antics and behavior of the left in recent years. When I look at many of the statements and rants that are being made even till this day, the term TDS simply can’t help but come to my mind. Just to be clear, you are going on record as actually saying that the mere fact that Trump is simply requesting that he has access to a constitutionally provided procedure that PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS have used throughout the years so as to get in one or two people that he feels are vital to the agenda for which he has been given a mandate for by the American people, so as to bypass a malicious and corrupt senate…you are claiming that THAT is an act that makes him a “dictator”??? This is unbelievable!
So what about previous presidents who in the past have used the recess option to get in people? Are you also going to call them ‘dictators’ as well? Or I guess it doesn’t count for the ‘establishment’ or ‘deep state’ favored presidents?
And never mind the utter illogic of calling him a ‘dictator’ for merely REQUESTING this long-provided loophole. I mean, maybe it’s just me, but I would think a real dictator would not request or beg for anything. He would simply send the state police or his personal armed security army to break doors and make people do what he wants. He would also use the powers of the state and federal courts to arrest, put on phony trials and throw in jail political opponents who displease him and don’t serve his agenda. But wait…those things are exactly what the establishment Democrats and their new-found deep-state accomplices have been doing for years. So of course that doesn’t count.
