Who is going to tell him that Poland and all 3 of the Baltics meet the current target, and Poland spends a higher percentage than the US does?
They know this. But facts are not important when you use a bludgeon.
Emm! Not very flattering is it?
I mean only one size, fat Toad, perhaps if they gave them away free they might make reasonable rags.
This isnât just absurd, but an attack:

Itâs beyond prepostrious. The condition now is to freeze front lines and cement all Russian gains.
As a condition for signing an agreement that the Americans want, not the Ukrainians. Makes loads of senseâŚ
This is why itâs important to go through the motions imo. Expose the US as the unapolegtically evil without a shred of doubt until even the last Transatlantic illusions are shredded. Weâre basically there.
I think weâre at the point where Ukraine basically just needs to ignore the US.
Difficult I know but that where I see things
I now understand why the United States have such a Fentanyl problem. It has nothing to do with Canada or Mexico. Itâs all of their own doing and is probably reaching critical levels now. The poor sods.
Both Sheinbaum and Trudeau have said pretty much the same thing in the last couple of days in comments directed to him. âWe only have cartels moving huge quantities of drugs because your people demand the productâ. The fact they are fighting their battles with Mexican law enforcement with American guns is also noteworthy.
The Canadian response is also âshow us the dataâ. The amount stopped at the border last year was tiny, particularly compared to the amount seized coming from the US into Canada. One reason why adding $1.3 billion to the Canada Border Services Agency budget was not that controversial, they have been asking for more resources to stop the flow of fentanyl from the US.
But the fentanyl angle is bullshit anyway. Trump cannot complete a sentence without offering up a different rationale - and one that is clearly not an emergency that justifies the use of powers given to Congress, not the executive branch.
Ash Wednesday. First day of Lent, after shrove Tuesday (pancake day when I was a kid back in England).
Mostly practiced by the Catholic Church, though some high church Protestant denominations participate, somewhat.
You receive the sign of the cross when you go to mass. Usually the day is accompanied by prayer and fasting.
Traditionally, at least religiously speaking, ashes are associated with repentance i.e. turning away from your sins.
For Rubio, hopefully it means he is repenting of participating in the Trump charade. I wonât hold my breath, as of course Rubio will do no such thing.
It was because England lost the cricket to the aussies and the country mourned at the disgrace
Itâs not a ânormalâ reset this

I smell a Westlemania main event. Secretery of Education vs Head of Doge loser leaves their WH role
Actually Iâm guilty of being too emotional on this.
Better to string them along, drag it out until support from Europe etc. properly starts flowing. Let them continue to expose themselves and then kindly walk away.
The art of the dealâŚ

âGood night, Wesley. Good work. Sleep well. Iâll most likely tariff you in the morning.â
