From the article:

"The Americans spent the last seven decades paying the world to be on their side. Those days are over. The only countries that will be able to enjoy U.S. market access and strategic cover are those who either pay the U.S. a lot of money, or bring something exceedingly shiny to trade. Supercarriers, being the gold standard of strategic assets, count. Islands off major continents, being the gold standard of strategic positions, count.

Simply put, the United Kingdom has an in so long as it cow-tows appropriately. Japan is in a strikingly similar position for similar reasons. Mexico gets an invitation because it is an entangled neighbor with a dynamic economy. Canada (barely) squeaks over the threshold largely out of habit. South Korea (so far) is paying its way.

And that’s…everyone."

God I hope he's right.

Beautiful Sentiment.

Wouldn't it be nice not to pay for freeloading backseat drivers like the Germans and French?

Hahaha holy shit! When you’ve got the Queen as your caddy, that’s boss!

Photoshop probably.

Seems like the author is saying that the UK will shortly become a vassal state of the USA!

Unlikely they would exit the EU for a worse deal someplace else. Having written that, a vassal state to the US might be better than being in the EU.

She wants to return the camera instead of configuring it correctly.

“The fact that they’re just continuing to give customers the same blanket statement, it’s like they don’t seem concerned at all,” she told The Washington Post. “To be honest, it felt like they were trying to place the blame on me. As a mother, I already feel guilty enough that I let this happen to my family. … There’s just no need for that.”"

No agency or responsibility on her part, Easier to blame the company and demand they take back a perfectly functional device over HER user error.

They should be sent to Catholic schools to be educated by priests instead.

Greta WOULD make the perfect nun.

Cut that behemoth down!! I say fire 50% of all federal employees.

jerk off on her face while she's being torn to pits, exactly as the Founding Fathers commanded.

The "Pounding Fathers?"

The all time best

I doubt that even most devoted priests would molest her tho

Just give control to states! why does everything has to be controlled by the feds? This way, I can at least know that stealing is going on in our Great State Capitol, instead of distant Washington DC

I like this plan. Alaska, for instance, hasn’t been able to control any of its own land for decades due to meddling by the BLM. Largest state in the union with millions of hectares of completely unused land and we can’t issue a permit for a little resource exploration because some DC pin head wants the tundra to remain pristine.

All time best? Get real. Trump likely gives little though to this girl and Trump has done more than any other leader to limit carbon emission. But to the left, actions do not matter, it is all about appearances such as the Paris Climate Accords. "Trump pushing natural gas and energy independence may have lowered carbon emissions, but Trump pulled out of the Climate Accords, so it does not matter." "China and India pollute far more than the US, and will increase that pollution, but at least they say they agree with the Climate Accords."

Nothing lighting a match won't fix.

Yay, open borders and destroying our culture. Bring the shitholes of the world to America, the new DEMOCRAT slogan.

Not enough.

Lol "civil war", I can just see all the the lefties starving their ass off in the cities as the conservative rural cuts off all their food and water.

Maybe the left's homo, bitch slapping, mobs will be so overwhelming all the AR-15 hunters will surrender in fear.

A civil war with the left would last a couple hours at most.

Where was that poll taken?

:
Wait, there is a real conservative in congress ? What the fuck ?

Leftist can't feed themselves without a Whole Foods being 1.2 miles away.

Leftist don't know the basics of creating temporary shelter.

Most importantly most leftist don't know how to shoot or even the basics of handling a firearm.

Most lopsided civil war ever.

Leftist propaganda.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says

The thinking, according to these people, is that Amash would reach conservative voters in a way Democrats can’t, potentially bolstering their case to the public.

This is why we call Democrats CUNTs(Can’t Understand Normal Thinking). Conservatives fucking HATE Amash, and he’s about to lose his seat forever. We literally wouldn’t piss on him if he were on fire, and he’s lower than a Democrat, actually be more likely to vote for a Democrat than a turncoat traitor.
Democrats understand NOTHING!

PAT NET shale REIT! Has no one seen Mad Max?! The V-8 Interceptors need gazoline!

So I should wait if I am thinking of buying oil stocks?

HEYYOU says

A total of 32 oil and gas drillers have filed for bankruptcy through the third quarter, with the total number of bankruptcy filings since 2015 now clocking in at more than 200.

That's pretty normal, oil and gas are always boom/bust, and we approach bust. West TX rednecks will now be selling off their gun collections and defaulting on F-350 trucks.

Best item from your link:

Natural gas well in Ohio released more methane than entire gas industry of many nations"

So, you are saying we should go back to coal? Or ban chili cook offs?

I think all the beans that I had for dinner are giving these Ohio frackers some competition.

Trump's cunt must be as sore as his Putin ravaged asshole now.

:
I know you''re going to find this hard to believe, but actually Trump is an extremely honest upstanding and honorable, emotionally together person. IT's just that the deep state and the media go to great lengths to make up this sort of bs about him.

I know, I know. How far we have fallen as a country that an enlightened man with such beautiful character and so much integrity, such a genius and all around class act, should be repeatedly attacked this way with these lies by the deep state and the media. It's truly a travesty.

Yes, all that will be colonized eventually. I personally claim all mineral rights to all celestial bodies.

"Manhattan Supreme Justice Maxwell Wiley tossed the 16-count indictment against Manafort without discussion or explanation during a hearing which reportedly lasted all of 90 seconds."

Did you even read your own linked article? 90 seconds was excessive time when the the NY Legislature passed a law specifically to go after Manafort after the fact, a law that defense attorneys in general as well as ACLU types strongly opposed. Defense Attorneys and ACLU types generally are not Trump supporters. The article even points out that prosecutor Vance has a history of pay-to-play justice, and was going hard after Manafort to revamp his image.

Still your President!

I’d pay money to see you screaming after the 2020 elections!
