I have already said I never voted for Hillary or Trump in 2016. I don't vote "party line." In fact I detest most lifelong politicians no matter the party. I do have conservative views so repubs draw me in more often than not. Believe Lindsy Graham is an idiot, McConnell is walking dead, etc. IMO, Trump is what Washington needs, not the brightest candle by far but he "shakes the tree" these political snakes live in. Found his foreign policies lack the politician garbage we always see and he gets right to the point. His business skills show. His name calling freaking childish but he doesn't call our adversaries names, smart! I think calling Pelosi "Crazy Nancy" and Clinton "Crooked Hillary" and then calling Xi and Putin smart drove the dems crazy. But they shit on him from the start. So at least he limits his name callings. There will be no "dream unifier" candidate the wedge in this country is too deep.
There aren't too many Republican Senators that I respect ; Rubio, Cruz, Blackburn, Hawley I can think of off the top that I do respect; maybe Paul, too, even though he can be a little too isolationist for me at times.

the U.S. pays 75% of NATO costs yet the EU is 50% of all NATO GDP's.
Trump doesn't understand that NATO is not a protection racket. US pays 16.2% of NATO operating budget. The same as Germany. 2% of GDP is just a guideline and not a requirement for a country's own defense. Countries that don't spend 2% GDP on defense don't owe money to anyone. Since 2014, NATO countries have been working toward 2% GDP. In 2023, more countries reach 2% GDP. Every president since Eisenhower has urged Europeans to do more but Russian threat seems to be the major reason for increase in defense spending.. Of course, US spends 3.5% GDP on defense because of other obligations beyond NATO.

NATO Defence Ministers agreed to commit a minimum of 2% of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to defence spending to continue to ensure the Alliance's military readiness.
This is not a guideline, or recommendation. They "" commit"" to doing so, even if only 18 of 31 members have met their ""obligation"". Trump is right to give the non-committal members some grief.
It's not like we have $34 Trillion extra dollars lying around. Quite the polar opposite.

In 2022 ALL NATO countries besides the U.S. (28 countries) spent a total of $353,369 million on military defense.
In 2022 the United States spent $821,830 million on military defense. That was 69.93% of what was spent in all 29 countries.

Putin is known as a pathological, professional liar according to book Putin master liar. Poland ministry corrects 10 lies from Tucker Carlson interview with Putin. Obviously, Biden support for Ukraine has been bad for Russian invasion. Putin would welcome Trump pulling US out of NATO. US intelligence found Russian interference in US elections to help Trump.

Would that be the same US intelligence that said the laptop was Russian disinformation??
Yep.
And Trump would not pull out of NATO, so stop the B.S.
Now it is not Russia, but the United States that wants to bring the Germans to their knees,” gloated the Russian newspaper Pravda after the Energy Department imposed a moratorium on permits for new LNG export projects last month.
Guess who did them both?

You mention lies as if there are only some doing this...ALL political figures are lying now, they lied yesterday and they will lie tomorrow and every day thereafter....it's a policy of lies...that's about the only truth that there is and each of them deny this very fact so that makes it habitual....
Find another medium to broach because lying is happening on all sides of the table

-Biden lied when he said Hur's report exonerated him.
-Biden lied when he said Hur brought up his son's death. Biden did.
-Biden lied when he said he notified authorities when he discovered that he had unlawfully taken classified documents to various residences. When in fact he told his Ghost Writer in 2017 he had taken classified documents. And the Ghost Writer deleted tapes of Biden telling so.
-Biden lied when he said the documents bore no classified markings.
And that was all on one day.

Biden's mental struggles are really showing. He is now being shielded from cameras, to and from the tarmac. They can only allow him on scripted stages and will soon need to apply the twenty-fifth amendment. If any leader was in this late stage of mental decline, they would have to remove them.
Lets all hope for the Nation's sake they do it sooner and not later. At this point it would not be good for America or our enemies to see Joe Biden debate any candidate.

Lies are all they have. Impossible to run on any policy as Biden screwed everything up.

Maybe Joe Biden recalled his "uncle Bosie" in that press conference, that was shot down. He may also recalled a recent 'Gilligan's island" episode he watched, where they had cannibals. Biden loves to embellish a story.

Biden probably loved Gilligan’s Island and that’s where he got the idea from , you’re right . It’s all a mishmash of ideas , reality , and fantasy in the human mind when you get to that certain point where your mental faculties inhibit you from being able to rationalize truth from fiction .
I’ve seen it with my on eyes happen to people . Both to loved ones or just acquaintances . It’s sad .
I betcha at some point Joe thinks his head was on the Totem Pole of that one episode , and that he’ll think he was the cannibal , and he’ll apologize for devouring Bosie and then shitting his remains into a bush just outside of Thurston Howl the Third’s hut .
He’ll probably let it slip that he engaged in an extramarital affair with both Ginger and Maryann too , but his mind will conveniently leave out the part where the Skipper walked in on them and proceeded to slather everyone up with “ Coconut Milk “ .
it’s funny how the mind works . Some things get mentioned and then others don’t . P.s. that “ Lovie “ was incorrigible . The Professor’s shoes had more appeal than that gargoyle .

Wonder when the Dems will start to consider the twenty-fifth amendment for ole Joe. Everyone in DC can see how bad he is and at some point it has to be worrisome as these leaders that hate the US can see the weak position this puts us in.

Biden gave Iran billions in seized assests. TRUMP would not Biden gave UNRWA millions and they supported Hamas. TRUMP would not. Biden gave Russia Nordstream II. TRUMP would not Biden gave the Houthis aid and declassified them as terrorists. TRUMP would not. America now spends billions fighting; -Iran -Hamas -Russia -Houthis
Embolden Iran with cash and this is what you get. Biden will be remembered for the wars, open border and his deteriorating mental state while in office. sad to watch it play out and can only hope they soon apply the twenty-fifth amendment. this is the reason it was put in place.

Sorry I posted in the incorrect thread on Joe Biden mental fitness.
It is only a matter of time for Kamala having to step in and explain Joe cannot continue. They are hiding a sitting President to avoid the embarrassment of his condition. He is not allowed to do many things in the public eye. It will be soon impossible for him to have a debate where he has the skills to actually debate. With a teleprompter he struggles and it would be unfair to put him in a ring with RFK Jr. or Trump.
Sad to watch and SHAME on you Doctor Jill Biden for allowing your husband to suffer like this.
