That’s a brilliant idea. If only public figure thought of that… be careful what you sneer about. Through pride (hubris) we forever deceive ourselves. 😁 It is the bane of those perceived as great leaders. There is no question that the U.S. stature, respect and influence is much diminished of late. A harbinger of something disastrous? My hope is that Trump doesn't embarrass himself in rhetoric and by extension a great, but diminished nation. I am with the majority in not being optimistic. (why does 'bone spurs' insist on negotiating in public?) Quote

What do you think actually happened here? What actually happened remains obscure because so many of the files have not been released. What is absolutely clear is that Trump desperately resisted releasing even the stuff we have seen. Quote ‘How small we make our worlds. Gather them in, tighten them up into little castles of fear.’

Look I get it, you’re all butt hurt America is taking a step back from its international interest. But that’s the thing, America no longer has international interest outside of the western hemisphere. Seriously, why should we care when Europe and Asia are both in decline. Quote
John Johnston Posted May 12 Author Report Posted May 12 1 hour ago, SpankyMcFarland said: Prudent people think about the future. The rare earth disaster was coming for decades and yet Trump walked blindly into that trap. In addition, America is living beyond its means and has failed to compete with China in the renewable sector. On top of that, Trump has alienated every liberal democracy on the planet. America’s natural allies don’t want to have anything to do with the country while Trump is in charge. Exactly right. Quote
John Johnston Posted May 12 Author Report Posted May 12 Trump worships the Dictators. So much for all that Land of the free, don't tread on me and Patriotic bullshit I have been listening to for the last 67 years... China is wiping the floor with America these days thanks to the MAGA nonsense. Quote

What is absolutely clear is that Trump desperately resisted releasing even the stuff we have seen. He campaigned on releasing the files. He signed an EO demanding the release of the files. He signed a law demanding the full release of the files. How is that resisting? 1 Quote Don't you think that if I were wrong that I would know it?

Quite the contrary. Less people is not a decline. What is in decline is America's standing in the world primarily in Education and Science while China and SK are lightyears ahead. Quote
John Johnston Posted May 12 Author Report Posted May 12 Trump starts a never ending War and then goes golfing and builds Golden Statues and Arches and Ballrooms.

And he's been, I think he's been very respectful," Trump added. "We haven't been challenged by China. They don't challenge us. And he wouldn't do that. I don't think he'd do that because of me. But, I think he's been very respectful." "I have a very good relationship with President Xi. You know, I find him to be a tremendous guy, and we get along well. And you see how we do," Trump told reporters when asked about what he hopes to achieve with Xi in relation to Iran. "We do a lot of business with China and making a lot of money. We're making a lot of money. It's different than it used to be, but I'll be talking about --- that'll be one subject. ........... to paraphrase? knees and elbows! Carney made threats like a drunk sailor and then cradled Trump's balls in the WH. This is not the same thing at all with Trump and Xi. Trump is buttering up Xi in advance of a meeting. It's the opposite of Carney's embarrassingly weak BS.

Without comment or dissent, the justices rejected her bid to overturn her 2021 sex-trafficking conviction, locking in her 20-year prison sentence. For Epstein's infamous associate, this was the last stop on a road paved with scandal, privilege, and failed appeals. Reading is fundamental. Yes reading is fundamental, you should try it. Quote

I think there is a question. Several of them in fact. But...nice try at making your assumption thought of as fact. Its an old Libbie trick that doesn't really work.

Nationalist Posted May 13 Report Posted May 13 They are saying the US doesn't need China to help with Iran. That tells me the opposite is true. Q: What would be the result of China telling Iran to open the strait or face the Chinese military as well as the American? Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

Compare Trump's meager non-existent success to what Obama accomplished re: JCPOA?

The conspiracy is that there is something of substance being hidden. The proof is there! They just won’t show us! And you will say that forever. Quote
