Long time lurker on Politics which generally was a Liberal Democratic echo chamber. Since the election it is much more vibrant as Republicans are not hiding but responding to those who fancy themselves as the educated elites whose thinking is reasonable and kind. Their hubris is amusing. |
Regardless of who is elite or not elite or who has hubris and who does not, macron and other world leaders flatter and stroke and kiss Trump's ass to try to get what they want. Trump is not that hard of a person to figure out. |
We are talking about the 21st C when European leaders courted Trump as they last courted Roosevelt who was following an American First policy. Joe Kennedy was a leading proponent of America First but after Roosevelt made him the ambassador to Great Britain and he got the lucrative licenses, he stepped back from his stance and urged Roosevelt to do the same. At the risk of offending you with another 20th C figure, Churchill may have had something to do with the licenses and Kennedy putting aside America First We were not keen to get into the war until Roosevelt dropped his America First stance. Probably more Churchill than Kennedy but both played a part. |
Duh!!! |
He really isn't. Which makes it amusing. Everyone is being so deferential to Trump - from Trudeau to Macron. I wonder if they hate themselves at the end of day. For Zelensky, it's a life and death situation for his country. And he's an actor to begin with. I'm sure he's going full Shakespeare presently. |
Zelensky already has: “a tale told by a fool, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” |
I might accept this and even welcome it if their responses were facts and truth about who they elected. I’ve yet to read a response that decodes Trump’s monotonous word salad. They never respond to common sense questions or facts. Crickets. Most don’t absorb anything but Fox & Truth Social. Other than double standards. They have no game. |
Jill was the one looking to kiss Trump's ass. Too funny! ![]() |
Jill and anyone else that wants something from that fool. It's funny but it's not because he is so shallow and transparent but he is in a very powerful position. It's not really to this country's advantage to have such a thin-skinned, easily manipulated, individual as the president. |
DP. She was being polite. Period. |
Yeah. Sure. Look at the look on her face. You folks try to deny everything ![]() |
They’re all on the same side in the end. They’re just laughing at us. |
