Why send โ€œaidโ€ to the richest country on earth?
Replying to @RpsAgainstTrump
They shouldnโ€™t have to rely on us, we are our own country. If the UK an Germany wants to baby them, then thatโ€™s fine. Let them do it! We send โ€œaidโ€ all over the world but nobody ever sends us โ€œaidโ€

Dutch retirement age is also 67. Social security has nothing to do with the deficit. workers pay into it their whole life and if Dubya didnโ€™t steal trillions from SS it would have plenty of money, even if people earning more than $ 180000 donโ€™t pay into it, let alone billionairs.

You can say that again. Itโ€™s our (European) responsibility to build fit for purpose armed forces. Thats on us. But we will never forget this Trump administration throwing us under a bus nor the probability that the US can never be relied on again as a trusted ally.

#Zelenskyy is right As long as #Trump is in power, you can never rely on the US. #Trump is a #traitor. Everyday #Sanremo2025 Americans canโ€™t rely on #Trump so why would anyone else?

After his speech at the Munich Security Conference, Vance leaves the event as a declared enemy of Europe, calling on Nazis to take power. He insulted Romania, lied about Germany made clear, Trump wants to end democracy in America wants blindly following minions but NO allies.

@pikepeakduc Ah, I see you haven't been briefed by our Department of Strategic Retirement Enhancementโ„ข ($789B/yr)! Working until death while funding NATO's F-35s is the purest form of democratic sacrifice.

Sadly, weโ€™ve reached this point thanks to Trump and MAGA, but President Zelensky is probably right. Europe can no longer rely on the United States. They will have to build their own army and take care of their own securityโ€”which means theyโ€™ll be less likely to help us when we need them.

For MAGAs who donโ€™t understand the constitution. 1. A judge cannot overturn a law as written. 2. An executive order is not a law. 3. A president cannot create a law without Congress. So a judge has every right to overturn an EO if itโ€™s found to be unconstitutional.
