Germany isn't at any threat of invasion, so why should we pay for NATO

I agree. Nations should pay for their own defense.

I do love that no one even challenged the last statement I made because it's so hardcore true.

Let Germany defend itself.

Germany is setting up their energy to be reliant on russian oil

How will Nato defend Germany from the pipeline being turned off.

Would it be better for Germany to be conquered by Russia or by Muslims?🤔

neither is any threat right now, so...

As to Trump vs. the World. I think Trump shaking things up is a good thing. The way the world is going, especially the way the EU is causing damage to the global economy and their own, is going to destabalize everything anyhow to the point that the US simply cannot support the rest of the planet on our own anymore.

the fact he's pulling back on US aid to everyone else is a slap in the face wakeup call for them to get their shit together and try to start supporting themselves

Sayoc was arrested in 2002 for threatening to bomb a Florida utility company, CNN reports.

He said it would be “worse than Sept. 11,” according to Miami police reports seen by the network.

He allegedly called Florida Power and Light and threatened to blow up the building if his lights were shut off, in addition to threatening an employee with bodily harm.

Sayoc had been arrested a total of eight times, according to CNN. One arrest was for possession of a stolen vehicle in North Carolina in 1999, a spokeswoman for the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office told the network.

Another arrest was for trying to walk out of a Walmart with a shopping cart filled with $239 worth of merchandise, according to NBC News.

sounds like a normal, stable person

between the migrant crisis in the EU and Trump's acts, it's caused a massive shift in most EU nations to realize just how fucked they are without the US's constant support, and now they're finally shifting (hard and fast) to try to stop the direction they've been going in and aim for being able to support themselves for once

When the EU first came together, it was supposed to be the next big super-nation, more or less. They were supposed to be able to rally together and be as big as the US, becoming their own superpower, and then the EU and US would go hand in hand to make the world a better place.

Instead, look at what they've done. They've run themselves into the ground and all the while the elitists there praising how great a job they're doing.

If this guy has such a long rap sheet, why is he walking around free?

For sure this #MAGAbomber does not represent the average Trump supporter and MSM will crucify the right and ignore their own violence. But it is also true, Trump does need to be extra careful with even a hint of incitement to violence. Unfortunately in this political environment the right has to be squeaky clean.

Because Prisons are colonialism and anti-black, so they need to be abolished, and like, you should only be put in a free speech gulag for hate-speeching, but it's more like a 4-star resort, so you should be happy that you've being sent there. (shitposty reply to Atkins.)

@DrYuriMom as someone with a lefty Jewish friend I can confirm that there is a growing number of people on the left who conflate Judaism/the Star of David with Zionism and Israel

sorry, I didn't mean for one random shitpost to derail that particular train of conversation, I was just throwing it in for absurdity XD

``I think Trump shaking things up is a good thing.``

Sorry JustTom I don't think Trump can stop the inevitable collapse of the US and the west in general. Even if he manages to solve illegal immigration, the debt and deficit problems are here to stay. Plus we have all sorts of crisises - child care crisis. A student loan debt crisis. A housing cost crisis. A health care affordability crisis. A job security crisis. A retirement funding crisis. A Social Security crisis etc.

Sit back and enjoy the collapse my dude!

And I don't just mean people on the street, I mean organizations

oh, aye
leftists tend to hate Israel, and that sometimes overlaps with open antisemitism

it's seriously worrying

If Trump was smart he would come out to, not necessarily take ownership of this, but just say that he will be extra careful going forward and admonish all Trump supporters to stop violent rhetoric and say that if you do, he would come down hard on them. I hope he takes the high road and not try to double down. But Trump is Trump.

what?

no that would be very very dumb

why?

He has the massive amount of support because of how he acts and how he refuses to backdown or give in to the left

No one against trump will support him, no matter what he does

@realChainLife Oh you're right. Trump alone can't stop what we're getting to. I can't deny that. However, Trump CAN set a policy globally that will cause the eventual revolution to be extreme enough to right the planet (hopefully), and set up the US so that when our eventual revolution comes, we'll still have our US culture and ideals.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

It's just a question of what we'll have after our upcoming refresh.

Saying this is giving into the left?

it would be seen as such

Of course it is

CNN ran a headline which said "turmp has no plans to take responsibility for the bombs"

Did trump make the bombs? did he tell the guy to make and send the bombs?

No, but thats how the media presents it and by going along with it trump would be lending credibility to their narrative

He should not take responsibility, rather encourage folks to not use this kind of talk, and he himself will be careful going forward. This is not giving in ... rather showing leadership.

Nope its giving in

LOL, suit yourself ...

You can see the countless times the media has asked trump to stop using the language he uses
