The shell game that Trump is playing with political donations is fast and furious.
If you donate to Trump’s campaign you are actually helping to pay his legal fees and fines.
Lol !

To live in America is to seek out moments of celebration and community while balancing the inner fear that a horrifying act of gun violence could occur at any time — on a parade route, at a July Fourth celebration on a completely ordinary day at a school filled with high school students. Nothing is unthinkable anymore when it comes to gun violence in this country.

The first preview of ignorance is the lack of education. I don't know if the motivation of posting the video was to showcase its ignorance or the posters lack of education. Either way, it would come as a shock that the cultural division of states even today exists beyond today's colors of red and blue..... |

Maine could have prevented the Lewiston massacre had they rigorously followed their red (or yellow?) flag laws. Maine is a bit off-center so they may have used a different color for a flag |

Of course the NATO chief will defend NATO. But in war, words have a diminishing impact. (most) NATO countries have faced budget pressures that accelerated under the EU. It is the perfect storm of 1. social program commitments, NATO commitments, and 3. EU budget requirements. Something had to give in. NATO nation gov'ts opted to cut back on their NATO contributions and rely on the US blood and treasure to provide their security. Trump told them the free ride was over. Now it's debatable whether NATO is better and stronger when everyone honors their commitments or if the US should simply provide free protection. Make your case.  Secretary General thanks President Trump for his commitment to NATONATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg thanked US President Donald Trump for his strong leadership and commitment to the Alliance in a meeting at the White House on Thursday (14 November 2019). Mr. Stoltenberg highlighted rising defence investment across European Allies and Canada, amounting to more than $100 billion extra in recent years, adding that Allies are determined to keep up the momentum. www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_170796.htm?utm_medium=email&utm_source=ncl_amplify&utm_campaign=240211-maga_inc_sunday_note_february_11_2024It's a campaign and Trump is bragging about making NATO stronger. Dishonest hacks are trying (successfully?) to gaslight weak minds into changing the NATO is better result into "go Putin! invade Holland!!" It's unclear how dumb someone must be to fall for it..... Trump doesn't even understand how NATO works. It's not protection racket. No country is required to pay anything. No country is required to spend a certain percentage of their budget. All of Trump's nonsense was an epic failure in front of the world. Spoiled fat brat who wants to have his way or cry. Trump doesn't speak for us. Estonian PM: Trump’s NATO Comments Are ‘Wake-up Call for Many European Countries that Haven’t Done Enough’ During an interview with “PBS NewsHour” Foreign Affairs and Defense Correspondent Nick Schifrin aired on Friday, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas responded to 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump’s comments about NATO by stating that while “all these statements from the United States are making us worried,” “we haven’t taken defense seriously enough.” And Trump’s comments have “been a wake-up call for many European countries that haven’t done enough. And I think that is a positive thing, if they start to do more.” Schifrin asked, “This week, the Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service released a new assessment that says Russia is preparing for a military confrontation with the West within the next decade. What is that based on, and can it be prevented?” Kallas responded, “It can be prevented if we invest in our defense, because, if you think about the aggressor, the aggressor takes the step of attacking somebody when he thinks that he can win because the other side is weaker. So, we haven’t taken defense seriously enough. And that means all the NATO allies have to do more.” Schifrin then asked, “We’ve been focusing on Europe, but I want to ask about the U.S. Is the United States a reliable partner?” Kallas answered, “Of course all these statements from the United States are making us worried, because the United States has been the biggest ally. And the only time Article V has been used is when [the] U.S. called us. So, this is something that we need to do together. When you have aggression that pays off [in] some part in the world, it will invite other aggressors in the world to start wars elsewhere.” Schifrin then asked, “Does Europe need to assume that the United States cannot defend Europe and cannot provide, perhaps, Europe a nuclear umbrella anymore?” Kallas responded, “I don’t think so. We have the agreements in place in NATO, all the structures in place. What we definitely have to do ourselves is to do more, like I said before. But the United States has been a reliable partner. And, of course, we hope that it’s going to be in the future as well.” Schifrin then specifically asked about Trump’s comments, and Kallas said, “It has been a wake-up call for many European countries that haven’t done enough. And I think that is a positive thing, if they start to do more. But, of course, statements like this, we are watching them and trying to figure out, but this is not a surprise. President — presidential candidate Trump, when he was President, he had the same ideas. But what I want to say is that over 60% of American exports go to Europe, not to Asia, but to Europe. So, it is actually to the benefit of your people, your jobs, your employment, your prosperity that we are so really tied to each other. So, if something happens in Europe, that has a very clear effect on [the] American economy.” Now, I’m training you to provide facts and to see reality, not what TDS/BlueAnon tells you is reality |

Yeah, here in Tennessee, we still honor the old fashioned Constitution and the 1A. Peaceful protests are tolerated and they don't need Party approval. We don't have the Party deciding who gets Constitutional protections and who doesn't. Hell, we can't even get a mayor to hold segregated events. But ya'll show off your class with your gov't sanctioned racism, Party regulated Constitutional protections, firebombing protests and running off citizens. Maybe get you a Senator who pretends to be native-American..... |

"actually he meant the opposite of that, which is why he is not wrong" |

Nato countries scramble to meet spending target to avoid Trump’s wrathNato members are scrambling to honour their defence spending target in time for a crunch July summit taking place just days before Donald Trump’s expected coronation as Republican candidate for president. Westminster sources told The Telegraph that European members need to arrive at Nato’s 75th Anniversary summit in Washington DC with a commitment to spend 2 per cent of GDP on defence. The summit will take place 9-11 July, the week before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where Mr Trump is expected to be selected as the party’s nominee for president. A senior Whitehall security source said: “If we all rock up in Washington for the Nato summit with half of Europe still not paying 2 per cent of GDP… that would be an own goal.” Nigel Farage, a confidante of Mr Trump, said he believed he would not try to withdraw the US from Nato if re-elected, but that Britain and other members had to bolster their militaries to ensure “America’s commitment”. Last week, Mr Trump set alarms ringing across Europe when he said he would “encourage” Russia to attack Nato members that fail to pay their bills. He claimed to have had a conversation while president in which the leader of a “big country” had asked him whether the US would come to his aid in the event of a Russian attack even if it was not meeting its Nato financial obligations. “I said: ‘You didn’t pay? You’re delinquent?’... No I would not protect you, in fact I would encourage them to do whatever they want.” The comments raised concerns that if re-elected in November he might fail to honour Nato’s Article 5 commitment to come to the aid of members under attack, or even attempt to pull the US out of Nato entirely. The Telegraph can reveal that a concerted effort is underway in London and across other Nato capitals to “Trump-proof” the alliance. One diplomat said: “There is a lot of talk about Trump contingency planning… on how to make sure a US president is invested in the security of the transatlantic area.” In the UK, the Whitehall security source said the Nato July summit was seen as a key date because it was taking place “a week before the Republican National Convention” when “big, febrile politics” would be at play. The source said the UK was pursuing “two lines of activity” in response to the potential return of Mr Trump. The first track involved “diplomacy around everybody in Nato other than the US, to say ‘hey guys, we really need to turn up to Washington with our s--t together’.” www.yahoo.com/news/nato-countries-scramble-meet-2-182118636.html
