Honestly mate, I don’t think anyone here mentions that phrase as often as you do.

And that means what to me?

 

[shootist~]

To enact a new constitutional amendment, a proposed amendment must be passed by a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress, then ratified by three-fourths of the states (38 of 50).

And, in this case, IMHO, there is comfort in that.

So Europe should reimburse you from 1945 - 2025..???

Ever heard of the Marshall Plan..?

I think it would be a good start if Trump and his government sober up and stop lying about the amount of Ukraine aid and just about everything else..

FYI, Trump has stopped all mil. aid to Ukraine..even the equipment that stand ready in Poland.

As I said…. Figure up how much EU hasn’t contributed to NATO over the years as they ignored their 2% obligation, then add prime +1 interest to even things up.

There is a reason why the EU was completely unprepared for the invasion.

I find it funny all the posturing you present when if it wasn’t for American action you would probably be learning Russian already as some EU countries were estimated to has less than a weeks worth of munitions on hand when the invasion started.

As I said better late than never for EU spending.

Trump told you not to buy gas, Germany laughed and ended up finding Putin’s invasion.

Maybe Germany should pay Ukraine reparations after the war is over.

Apparently Trump is now thinking about a third term, he also seems to be convinced that he has the highest approval rating of any republican president for the last one hundred years. I dont know hard it would be to change the 22nd amendment but if it can be done perhaps it would be a good idea to implement some sort of age limit for the future...

He’s a narcissist so not surprising but will never happen.

First of all...I am not german. After Germany stopped using russian gas, Norway stepped up and increased gas production to Germany along with increased gas import from USA..

The idea that Germany should pay Ukraine for war destruction is so far out I cant take it seriously..

Trump could run as Vance's VP....

 

[Sideshow]

Been away fishing so have missed a load of news...Just seen this phone leak thing with the Houthi attack.
Had to laugh how Waltz says hes never meet or spoken to Goldberg but yet his number is in his phone how else would he have ended up in the group?
You need to be in someone’s phone to be invited into a group. Am I wrong or is this journalist now a master hacker?
Ive read the text and cant really see what security that would have endangered lives was leaked since he reported it after the attack.
If your in politics you need to wake up because your fair game if you screw up like this.

Not in Trumps DNA to play second fiddle to anyone. He just needs to shut his mouth (next to impossible for him) do what’s best for the country and go away in 2028.

 

[Brent in Az]

Ironically, Trump is doing what's best for the country, or at least trying.
Not that the orange man bad club around here would ever acknowledge that fact.

That’s essentially what Putin did to skirt Russia’s two term limit for Presidents. I think it was a year as Prime Minister after his second term ended in [emoji638][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji640]].

 

[KJE81]

In the interview with NBC News Trump says there are methods for him to have a third term. One method that is mentioned is him running as vice president candidate with Vance as presidental candidate. Apparently Vance would then resign making Trump president again, dont know if that would be a feasible way around the 22nd amandment?

Perhaps he is trying to follow Putins playbook?

I agree that he is honestly trying to do what’s best for the country but i can do without all of the bloviating .
Not one reason in the world talking about a third term or taking over Canada and Greenland.

I’ve heard that’s an interesting read.

Along with his anti-American and anti-ally strategic interests foreign policy, I am now beginning to wonder if he actually has a clue what to do in the current economic environment. In spite of these headwinds (below), our brilliant real estate tycoon will add tariffs which will further raise costs on virtually everything sold in this country. It is an indirect tax that will slow the economy further.

To remind, the mid-term campaigns actually start in a couple of months.

Trump is the biggest firewall we've ever had against the radical wing of the democrat party.
Even though I would like to see that continue in 2028, the idea of 3 terms needs to be left alone. That could also benefit the democrats at some point in time.
During Obama's 2nd term the Democrats and the media lapdogs were all calling for an Obama 3rd term. Thank God it didn't materialize.

You should run for president. Show us all how it should be done.

Opening statements in the below video... "Trump is a symptom of our problem"... "Trump is not the problem" (referencing the Canadian economy)..

This seems to be the only guy that "gets it" to me that's been on CBC recently..

Trump is an asshole.. no doubt about it.. Trump is playing very hard, loose, and fast when it comes to a potential "trade war" with Canada.. no doubt about that either..

But Trump alone lacks the ability to create the Canadian economic quandry.. he is merely exploiting it (not saying that a good thing or even supporting it.. simply saying if there wasn't a Canadian economic problem to begin with, Trump wouldn't be in the position he currently is to do the things he is doing)..
