It seems like the US is prepared to cede foreign policy in that region to who ever has the biggest stick. Trump is already losing influence and it doesn’t look like any one else on the right has the ability to hold the MAGA movement together? Maybe MGT?

Anyway, way back in the Obama years, the US was already pivoting to the Asia pacific as its primary focus. Trump just ripped the band aid off Europe in his usual “diplomatic” fashion.

In the cold war it made sense. West Germany was a shattered shell of what it had been and what it would become.

She also refused to disavow her dad’s incredibly racist talking points after she donated money to a sporting league, which was protested by indigenous Australian athletes

I went to see a psychologist about my driving and he recommended i get screened for ADD. My wife belief with my screening and realised she had it too, probably why we get along so well. Told our parents about it and they said oh that’s just the personality you got from us 🤣

Not the question

But should trustworthiness default to popularity?

Fuck, gotta take my pills

Only when the dead line is close though

Missing the part where you left the keys in the door lock

Worse than that, you’re slapping tariffs on countries that have stood shoulder to shoulder with you through thick and thin, but give money your leaders latests current man crush

Embrace the mullet and go full send! As a balding man, you’d have my respect

I kinda wanna get one, but die to the location of my hairlines (yes plural) make it a very debatable decision
