Trump destroyed our most important alliance

[CowboyTed]

In 2009, Obama was accused of an “Apology Tour” trying to patch up our relations with our allies. Over eight years, Obama and Biden were able to repair torn relationships with our European allies and US was looked at as Leader of the Free World

No amount of apologies will repair the damage done by Donald J Trump. The world looks at our current political unrest and does not trust us to not elect another Trump Republican.

Trump has trashed America's most important alliance. The rift with Europe could take decades to repair | CNN

The presidency of Donald Trump has left such a wretched stench in Europe that it's hard to see how, even in four years, Joe Biden could possibly get America's most important alliance back on track.

www.cnn.com

You have hit it on the nail... Europe likes Biden and wants get back to working with America... Trump was a walking disaster...
How do Europe not know that US will pick another Trump or GW Bush... US seems to be picking bad President...

Trump supporters could complain that Europe doesn't provide enough money for NATO... But Europe will have supplied the R & D for the vaccine for vast majority US citizens. Europe just figured a national security risk from a virus was a possibility...

 

[ESay]

Wrong.
What went unpunished for centuries was police murdering minorities, immigrants, labor organizers, etc.
The BLM riots were the best thing that ever happened in the US

Okay, so what is their goal. To fight a bias by demanding more privileges?

Why do you think the US does not even have public health care?
Do you think the people in any European country would put up with that

Because the US didn't want to be a nanny state, maybe. What a big government produces is ever increasing number of officials spoiled by public money going through their hands.

Folks do know these are the same assholes that screwed America during that oil for food fiasco, right?

It was totally illegal for the US to embargo civilian economic goods from Iraq in the 1990s.
We had agree that economic embargos were war crimes way back when we signed the Hague Conventions in 1906.
Not only was Iraq innocent, but the US was the one guilty of war crimes.

I'm not talking about Iraq. I'm talking about our so-called Eurotrash friends that screwed us for years. Couple that with them shirking their NATO responsibilities, and the level of trust is pretty low, and only an idiot would think their opinions matter.

What hypocrisy , it is Obama who said: We are no longer the gendarmes of the world (that change the way the USA could be see as a force in the world) and simply to the Europeans thing now wont be the same anymore manage your poo by yourself for a example.

Very true, thanks for bringing it up

Obama built strong alliances that allowed the US to take a less active role in key conflicts......Leading from the rear

Trump was not trusted

False, it opens the pandora’s box because it is the terrorist groups that took advantage of it, Obama to withdraw the American troops in Iraq in 2011 which made a vacuum for more attacks. That the Americans are fed up with wars is quite understandable but the Democrats quickly forget the threats coming from terrorist groups .

 

[Correll]

Yep, until they can be certain that we won't elect another anti-democratic authoritarian prick like Rump, they won't give us much of a leadership role. Might take a generation to undue the damage caused by this president.

Until they are prepared to pay for their own defense, this is the whining of ungrateful children.


My response is, if they feel that way, fuck them. PUll the troops now.

“In my life, I have watched John Kennedy talk on television about missiles in Cuba. I saw Lyndon Johnson look Richard Russell squarely in the eye and say, "And we shall overcome." I saw Richard Nixon resign and Gerald Ford tell the Congress that our long national nightmare was over. I saw Jimmy Carter talk about malaise and Ronald Reagan talk about a shining city on a hill. I saw George H.W. Bush deliver the eulogy for the Soviet bloc, and Bill Clinton comfort the survivors of Timothy McVeigh's madness in Oklahoma City. I saw George W. Bush struggle to make sense of it all on September 11, 2001, and I saw Barack Obama sing 'Amazing Grace' in the wounded sanctuary of Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina.

"These were the presidents of my lifetime. These were not perfect men. They were not perfect presidents, god knows. Not one of them was that. But they approached the job, and they took to the podium, with all the gravitas they could muster as appropriate to the job. They tried, at least, to reach for something in the presidency that was beyond their grasp as ordinary human beings. They were not all ennobled by the attempt, but they tried nonetheless.
"And comes now this hopeless, vicious buffoon, and the audience of equally hopeless and vicious buffoons who laughed and cheered when he made sport of a woman whose lasting memory of the trauma she suffered is the laughter of the perpetrators. Now he comes, a man swathed in scandal, with no interest beyond what he can put in his pocket and what he can put over on a universe of suckers, and he does something like this while occupying an office that we gave him, and while endowed with a public trust that he dishonors every day he wakes up in the White House.
"The scion of a multigenerational criminal enterprise, the parameters of which we are only now beginning to comprehend. A vessel for all the worst elements of the American condition. And a cheap, soulless bully besides. We never have had such a cheap counterfeit of a president* as currently occupies the office. We never have had a president* so completely deserving of scorn and yet so small in the office that it almost seems a waste of time and energy to summon up the requisite contempt.
"Watch how a republic dies in the empty eyes of an empty man who feels nothing but his own imaginary greatness, and who cannot find in himself the decency simply to shut up even when it is in his best interest to do so. Presidents don't have to be heroes to be good presidents. They just have to realize that their humanity is our common humanity and that their political commonwealth is our political commonwealth, too. Watch him behind the seal of the President of the United States. Isn't he a funny man? Isn't what happened to that lady hilarious? Watch the assembled morons cheer. This is the only story now."
- Charles Pierce

As you know, the essay you posted is about Christine Blasey Ford. One of the women who perjured herself when she lied to the Judicial Committee taking testimony about Justice Brett Kavanaugh. You can bet that had someone told vile, obvious lies, under oath about a Democrat nominee for any office, they'd be on trial for perjury.

What was the goal of this essay? You also neglected to include your link, here is one.

Thank you for the link and imho there was no perjury that you speak of How many times has the Trump liar looked America in the eyes and lied his ass off?? Does that concern you ?

There was no perjury? Have you always been so gullible or is it simply you grave case of TDS?

Do you really want to discuss Presidents who looked America in the eye and lied their asses off?

For instance:


As an intelligent and informed person, I do listen to what anyone SAYS. I do watch carefully to see what a person DOES.

For instance:

It is unclear why these politicians and pundits claim to believe Ford, given the lack of evidence in support of her serious accusations. Here are 21 reasons reasonable people may doubt Ford’s claims about Kavanaugh.

1. There Is No Evidence that Ford and Kavanaugh Ever Met

2. Leland Keyser Said She Did Not Have ‘Any Confidence’ in Her Friend’s Story

3. Friends Pressured Keyser to Change Her Story

4. All Alleged Witnesses Strongly Dispute the Claim

In addition to Keyser, the other alleged witnesses also said they had no memory

5. Ford’s Father Supported Kavanaugh’s Confirmation

6. Ford Doesn’t Know the Location

7. Ford Doesn’t Know How She Arrived

8. Ford Does Not Know How She Got Home

9. Ford Does Not Know the Date or Even What Time of Week

10. Ford Somehow Remembers She Had Only One Beer, But Not Other Details

11. Kavanaugh’s Contemporaneous Calendars Support His Claim

12. Ford Changed the Date of the Incident by Years from Her Initial Stories

13. Character Witnesses from the Time Support Kavanaugh

When the allegations of sexual misconduct broke in the Washington Post,

14. Ford’s First Mention of Kavanaugh’s Name is 2012, After He Became a National Figure

15. False Claims Were Made about Ford’s Inability to Fly

16. Ford Scrubbed Her Social Media

17. Ford Said She Wanted to Stay Confidential, But First Call Was to Washington Post

18. Ford’s Attorney Admitted a Motive of Desiring an Asterisk by Kavanaugh’s Name

19. Ford Has Benefited Politically, Financially, and Socially

20. Nothing in Kavanaugh’s Past Remotely Similar to the Claim for 37 Years

21. Memory Manipulation?

21 Reasons Not To Believe Ford's Claims About Justice Kavanaugh

The ACLU awarded Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford. It is unclear why politicians and pundits still claim to believe her evidence-free claims.

Pardons for sale or rent ,rooms to rent 50 cents

Yeah, you too remember former President Bill Clinton. Here are just five of the FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY pardons issued by Bill.

The Horn News did some digging, and found a few of the most publicized of Clinton’s pardons. At least one returned to crime — and others are still paying back the Clintons to this day.
—
Melvin “Mel” Reynolds — A former Chicago Democratic Congressman, Mel Reynolds was convicted in 1995 of statutory rape, and in 1997 on federal fraud charges. He had two years left in his sentence in 2001 when he was pardoned by Bill Clinton.

In 2015, Reynolds was indicted for failure to file federal income tax returns from 2009 until 2012. He was granted permission to travel to Zambia to visit his sick daughter while his trial for tax charges was pending. He violated the conditions of his stay – not once, but twice – when he left Zambia to travel to South Africa without the court’s permission. When he returned to the United States on April 20, 2016, it was two weeks later than what was originally promised.

Upon his return, he was taken into custody and is awaiting trial. Reynolds, who is representing himself, claims that he can’t adequately prepare his case while in jail. There is currently no set trial date, and Reynolds has requested a change in the judge whom he believes is biased against him.
—
Almon Glenn Braswell — Braswell, a small business owner, was pardoned by Clinton after being convicted for failure to pay millions in federal income tax. He has since died under mysterious circumstances.

Braswell’s mother-in-law claimed in his obituary that Almon had retreated to seclusion following his pardon, and all records indicate he continued to run his small business until 2006, when he was found dead in his Florida condo at the age of 63.

Investigators ruled the death to be from natural causes. Strangely, however, Almon’s brother Joel Braswell claimed he believed Almon had been poisoned — and he had the body cryogenically frozen.
—
Marc Rich — This is the pardon that a New York Times editorial called, “a shocking abuse of presidential power.” Rich was on the FBI’s most wanted list for illegal commodities trading with countries like North Korea, Iran, Cuba, and the Soviet Union. He fled to Switzerland in 1983 to avoid conviction in America.

Leading up to the pardon, Marc’s ex-wife Denise Rich donated $450,000 to the Clinton Library and forked over $1 million to Democratic campaigns. Rich died in 2013, and critics say the Clinton’s are still benefiting from the pardon.

Rich’s friends, lawyers, and business partners have donated millions to the Clintons since the pardon was granted.
—
Susan McDougal — One of the few people to actually serve prison time following Whitewater, Susan McDougal was pardoned by Clinton in 2001. McDougal and then-husband, Jim, were business partners with the Clintons’ in the failed Whitewater real estate venture.

When brought to trial, Susan refused to answer questions relating to whether she believed Bill Clinton lied in his testimony about an illegal loan. Her ex-husband Jim encouraged her to testify against the Clintons’, but she rejected his advice. She was ultimately sentenced for civil contempt of court, fraud and conspiracy relating to Whitewater – and then was pardoned by President Clinton.

Since her pardon, Susan wrote a book, “The Woman Who Wouldn’t Talk.” She is currently serving as the chaplain of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, an interest she said was sparked by her time spent in prison.

Husband Jim McDougal, a key witness in the Whitewater investigation, died in prison in 1998.
—
John Deutch — Deutch was the head of the CIA from May 1995 to December 1996. After he left office, classified material was discovered on a government-owned computer in his house (sound familiar?), and a formal security investigation was opened within a month. He was in the midst of negotiating a plea agreement with prosecutors on charges relating to mishandling classified information when he was pardoned by Bill Clinton.

Deutch now serves as professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has served as chairman of the Department of Chemistry, dean of Science, and Provost. In 2013, he was appointed to the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board, a board serving as an independent advisory committee to the Obama administration’s Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz.

5 top Clinton pardons: Where are they now? – The Horn News

By Aimee Pontier, Editor Former President Bill Clinton’s final days in office were widely criticized after he issued a staggering amount of last-minute pardons. In total, Clinton’s 450 presidential pardons dwarfed his predecessor George W. Bush, who only pardoned 75. And with just hours to go on...
