    If they don't stop by tomorrow, their civilisation will be destroyed. There will be a review in 2 weeks.

    Is there no one in the entire United States of America who can explain to the White house and fellow Americans what NATO actually is - and which NATO member called on it and received received help when attacked on Sept 11th.

    These oft repeated facts just don’t seem to sink in - instead fake views are repeated and repeated by this president and his acolytes.

    The US was not attacked in Feb and the war it started was a choice it made - for which the whole world pays and pays and pays.

    The Current White House knows the cost of a lot and the value of nothing.

    It does not know everything.

    I feel quite sure it has been said to him but truth us not something that sits well with him.

    I'm pretty certain Trump has been told many times that NATO is not an offensive force that can be called upon by one country to attack another. But he is just choosing to ignore that information because it doesn't sit well with his existing prejudices and grievances.

    As for his MAGA voters, I'd be surprised if they even realise that NATO isn't a country.

    They can't spell NATO without being spotted the N, T, and O.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,253 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    Pretty sure he sees the money going to NATO and he automatically thinks he can get them to do what he wants.

    But that is how he generally works.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,137 ✭✭✭RickBlaine


    Spare a thought for Andy Burnham who will now eventually have to deal with Trump. Hopefully he takes a leaf out of Meloni's book and doesn't allow him to get away with any BS about him or the UK.

    Count me out. I need a scale of from -100 to +10 !

    Donny won't be happy at Chinas response to the sanctions he placed on some major Chinese companies a couple of weeks ago. The export controls target US military firms and it's main rare earth companies.

    That's assuming that their sole instructions are to stand around the reflecting pool. I'm not convinced of such.

    I don't believe Trump is managing to distract anyone from anything, except himself from more important matters.

    I don't believe there has been a worse President than Trump has been in this term from either party, at least from any that I have taken the time to learn about.

    Unequivocal enough for you, Everlast?

    https://newrepublic.com/post/212114/doj-refuse-release-old-epstein-emails-expose-trump?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=tnr_daily&vgo_ee=zcJ5KKawKzBldQ5x4Ps3kuQr8vqv4xZihkj%2BWhTS89USiwFhsw%3D%3D%3Ab6lRVgRTnrOODH4kghyi1RX0rCd0sFHr

    "But Epstein had other, older email addresses that were mentioned in only a
    few, highly redacted publicly released files. One missing account, littlestjeff@yahoo.com, was from the early 2000s—the time when Epstein was most in touch with Donald Trump.

    Trump
    has repeatedly claimed that he is innocent of all charges when it comes
    to his connection with Epstein. But, as this analysis by CBS reveals,
    we may still be missing major pieces of the puzzle."

    Will take a Dem Govt to get everything released.

    To be fair, if you look at the relevant threads on Irish defence policy, there are no small numbers of Irish persons who are under an identical misguided impression of the obligations of NATO membership. Though, granted, none of them are actually in any position of global influence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 614 ✭✭✭mrm


    Every word completely true. Him and his cohort are exactly that, and for more reasons than just ruining that pool. 'Sick,deranged people' is the first truth he has posted about him and his magas.

    Only after it was stolen from him in a rigged election.

    See, someone with actual political ambition like Vance would be much better off saying "yes, it'd be much better if the President wasn't litigating this situation through Truth Social every single day" because it's blatantly obvious and would actually win him credit with potential voters in 2028. But unfortunately for him and for everyone else, he's the same as the rest of the current GOP - completely lacking in self-awareness and courage. They'd rather make laughing stocks of themselves than tell anything even resembling the truth. This is surely the worst administration in US history by a mile.

    Thank's for the answers.

    I looked at the N/G Pers and just had to ask, on the image presented of numbers there, alongside the larger number of police [6] for the task allegedly, according to Trump, being performed.

    Ref Trump distracting himself, and not others, from more important matters, it seems from his broadcasts, that he actually thinks he is distracting the U.S from those matters. The claims he made against Georgia Meloni would seem the most outlandish and failing a man in his position could make.

    Ref worse presidents, I wasn't sticking to the present term of presidency as there can only be one person serving in the office at any one time.

    Personally I think the Italian PM was very reserved in her response to Trump's allegations [which seem typical of him to attract attention] - I'd have preferred that she reply in similar personal terms, by suggesting to the media that she had turned down a request from him for personal services due to his singular inadequancies.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,575 ✭✭✭arctictree


    Is Vance actually the only one that Trump cant fire? He should use that to his advantage and distance himself.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,759 ✭✭✭✭fullstop


    Ramblings of an utter clown.

    He reminds me of a character in a documentary Louis Theroux did a few years ago in a mental institution…your man who was being kept there thought he was a dentist and that Louis and his crew were his patients. Utterly incredible that this shite is indulged by anyone, nevermind supported by people bereft of any sense.

    Let's have a game of "higher or lower"...

    1000046718.jpg

    Is the number of people arrested in the Epstein files higher or lower than the number of people arrested for vandalism of a pool?
