That doesn’t mean he’ll get to do what he wants. He loves playing golf and sexually assaulting women. Soon enough he won’t be able to force his body to do either of those things. Of course he’ll live better than most but he still can’t bully old age and that’s a fact that I look forward to watching him confront.
He’s an 80 year old man in increasingly poor health. Wherever he goes after his presidency, if he even makes it that long, he won’t be able to enjoy his life the way he wants to. I find some small measure of comfort in that thought.
Sure, I’m not saying they’re doing nothing at all. But are they doing enough to replace the resources and manpower historically provided by the US in these kinds of situations? I don’t think so. Is there a politically viable path for the EU to get to that point? That remains to be seen.
If the world wants that to happen they have the perfect opportunity to step into the policing role in Ukraine. I’m not sure the EU has the political will to do so to the degree that is necessary.
Hey, you gotta create new virgins somehow and until we get better at cloning we’ve only got the one method.
I wondered about the same things you did when I saw this but I agree with that other guy too. The response of a rational person is to look for the logic in everything but Trump is an irrational being. Despite 10 years of his bullshit I still haven’t fully trained myself to expect him to be irrational all the time. It’s too counter-intuitive to stick that deep.
What you’re saying about these people should be true, but there’s nothing in my experience of life in the last decade that makes me think that is more than wishful thinking.
Do you really think that would make any difference? Conservatism is about staying with the group. Despite the name, consistency has nothing to do with it. If the group leaders start saying something contradictory it just becomes the new group stance. What came before, even just yesterday, is entirely irrelevant. Those who critically evaluate individual ideas or policies are not conservatives.
It’s certainly possible that I have missed some news on the subject but last I heard they had not matched the aid that was being provided under the Biden administration. I hope you are right and that has changed.
