He must never become president, nor anyone who supports his garbage. He was so stupid and unable to understand, ruled by money and desperate for power he was easily controlled by dictators and the wealthy. Hugs.
One of Europe’s most senior politicians recounted how former U.S. President Donald Trump privately warned that America would not come to the EU’s aid if it was attacked militarily.
“You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you,” Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020, according to French European Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was also present at a meeting at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
“By the way, NATO is dead, and we will leave, we will quit NATO,” Trump also said, according to Breton. “And he added, ‘and by the way, you owe me $400 billion, because you didn’t pay, you Germans, what you had to pay for defense,’” Breton said about the tense meeting, where the EU’s then-trade chief Phil Hogan was also present.
That says everything we need know about his attitudes regarding America itself. Every fucking thing is about him and his overwhelming self-entitlement.
He was hoping to extort our NATO allies to get money to pay back his bankers — the russian oligarch’s. If he’s allowed into power again he will raid the treasury. There is no doubt in my mind. That’s exactly what he will do.
Especially if he manages somehow to float this idea that anything a President does while in office is “official duties” and he cannot be tried for it later.
I bet this made daddy Putin very pleased. Trump’s a good little daddies boy. Look how he beams at the sight of Putin. The former first hooker doesn’t get a smile out of Trump like this.
What more can I say. The republican dream, force poor women to carry every conception to full term / birth, but once born they ignore those same babies in poor families. They wipe their hands of them, ignoring their needs. They don’t want to give them medical care, food, schooling, and other “luxuries” but they do want to force them to be Christian. They do believe in spending money to force schools to display Christian religious texts. Yet they are desperate to remove any media supportive of anything not cis straight 1950s socially accepted, and to deny necessary, possibly lifesaving medical treatment for kids who have gender identity issues.

Moving beyond efforts to block expansion of health care for the poor and disabled, Republican governors in 15 states are now rejecting a new, federally funded summer program to give food assistance to hungry children. The program is expected to serve 21 million youngsters starting around June, providing $2.5 billion in relief across the country. The governors have given varying reasons for refusing to take part.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) said she saw no need to add money to a program that helps food-insecure youths “when childhood obesity has become an epidemic.” Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen (R) said bluntly, “I don’t believe in welfare.” Other states declining to participate are Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont and Wyoming.

Republicans have repeatedly shown voters their true colors, and yet those voters keep backing them. It boggles the mind. Especially when those same Republicans quote things like what’s attributed to their religion. Except they forget their Jesus preached about helping those in need. Because f*ck those people, right?
Morally bankrupt Republicans are just setting up the deplorable conditions so their inbred wealthy donors have a cheap form of entertainment watching us all suffer.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) said she saw no need to add money to a program that helps food-insecure youths “when childhood obesity has become an epidemic.”
It cost $2 million and you have a 1.8 billion surplus you ghoul.

it makes perfect sense when you understand that kids that don’t have enough to eat are fat.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: There’s something in Conservative/Republican philosophy that viscerally hates children and young people. They’re psychopathic in their determination to make life worse for young people.
They’re the pro-forced birth party. Precious gifts until they’re born, then the little leeches are just a drain on the system. Why don’t they go out and get jobs?
Andrew Weissman, former top prosecutor at the Department of Justice, Lisa Rubin, MSNBC Legal Analyst and NBC News Justice Reporter Ryan Reilly who was inside the courthouse join Ali Velshi in for Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House reacting to today’s hearing in a Washington D.C. courtroom where Trump’s legal team made some of their most absurd claims about hypothetical crimes a President could commit while they are President which could be covered by Presidential immunity.
The way it seems now. The attack on the Harvard President was simply to remove a black woman from her position in a high ranking school. By the same people who give a pass to their dear leader tRump for dining with two well known antisemite Jewish people haters. In the eyes of the racist right, that job belongs to a white Christian cis straight man. Hugs. Scottie
He is trying hard not to say the quiet part out loud. He really just wants a white Christian straight cis male run society. He is struggling with the changes in society that the majority of the people accept and wants to force his minority view on everyone by making it the law. He wants his small minority to rule the majority. He wants to roll back rights and equality. It is flat out bigotry, the same bigotry that led to slavery, Jim Crow laws, anti-miscegenation laws, and laws forcing a religion on other people’s children in hopes it will install in them the same hates against the LGBTQIA that they have. These laws are about stopping children learning tolerance and acceptance of people who are different, of people who are LGBTQIA. It is a way to let bullying go unchallenged and leaving the targeted LGBTQIA with no support or defenders. As it has been mentioned repeatedly, no color flag or book or movie ever turned anyone gay or trans. It is a shame that these people have managed to get into positions of power and think they have the rights to rule others lives, that they have the right to dictate how others must think or live. I wonder if the Christian flag will be one of the exemptions? Hugs. Scottie
Republican State Rep. Gino Bulso (R-Brentwood) has filed a bill to ban all flags in schools that aren’t the official Tennessee or United States flag. Bulso said he drafted the bill after hearing concerns from constituents about pride flags being displayed in schools.
Bulso said the country used to have a “very strong consensus” on what the nation’s values are, and these are the values he believes most parents taught in schools.
“Certainly, you know, 50 years ago we had a consensus on what marriage is; we don’t have that anymore. One-hundred years ago, we had a consensus on sexual morality; I don’t think we have that anymore. So the values that I think most parents want their children exposed to are the ones that were in existence at the time that our country was founded,” he said.
The epitome of homophobia, transphobia is legislators working on tax payer dollars to pass a law to eliminate rainbow flags 🌈 in public schools when it isn’t a problem to begin with!!!! We are citizens too!
What does your argument have to do with flying a rainbow flag??? I know you are all about discrimination…but this is a different era from when you grew up grandpa. You were the bully in school who used to beat up gay students, all the time you were secretly closeted. We know you.
Certainly, you know, 50 years ago we had a consensus on what marriage is; we don’t have that anymore. One-hundred years ago, we had a consensus on sexual morality; I don’t think we have that anymore.
I’m sure he laments that 175 years ago we could keep n*****s as slaves.
“So the values that I think most parents want their children exposed to are the ones that were in existence at the time that our country was founded.” Including slavery, women as their husbands’ property, and Native American genocide.
The values when the country was founded? No divorce for anyone without a great deal of trouble, Black people were slaves but counted as 3/5 of a person, and women couldn’t vote.
But I guess he’s not referring to the value of strict separation of church and state.
When will people understand that politicians will lie and do what ever else is needed to get where they want society and government to go to. Especially republican elected officials. Of course it is lies, it always is for these people. I remember being in the military being gay, having gay boyfriends, having been accepted by my command to the point of arranging rooming for me and my boyfriend to then hear republican congressmen say people in the military wouldn’t tolerate gay people in the same barracks, showers, rooms, or even working with them. WTF. Where would you go as a lower income gay person but to a place with super other hunky guys? All of them horny and not getting relief? I had more sex in the years I was in the military than I did when I got out … until I got married. Some were gay, many were straight but OK with it. But when Republicans want something to be different or fail, they create the situation they need. Normally to create a profit or ideological advantage. Hugs. Scottie
