@VickyRichterUSA So then I'm not seeing the problem with removing them. Germany claims the US is reckless and irresponsible. Would seem like you'd want that kind of liability removed from your country as soon as possible. Why are you encouraging the war mongers to keep operating from there?

America’s “Favor” That Powers Its Empire U.S. troops in Germany are not there out of charity—and certainly not to “protect” Germans. They are there because without German soil, American global reach doesn’t function. Ramstein is the largest U.S. air base outside America. Stuttgart hosts EUCOM and AFRICOM—the command centers for operations across Europe and Africa. Landstuhl has been the lifeline for wounded U.S. soldiers from Iraq to Afghanistan. Even drone operations in places like Somalia rely on infrastructure routed through Germany. Remove that, and you don’t weaken Berlin—you blind Washington. Yet somehow the narrative persists: America is doing Germany a favour. That Europe is the dependent, the beneficiary, the so-called “freeloader.” It’s a convenient story. It’s also strategically backwards. Because the reality is simple: those bases are not acts of generosity. They are instruments of power. And they exist in Germany not for Germany’s benefit—but for America’s ability to operate far beyond its own borders. Take them away, and the question isn’t what Germany loses. It’s how much the United States does.

@UN_Women In that case I'd ask all feminists to play one down as an offensive lineman on an NFL team. A run play to the side they are responsible for.

Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. 📢 We’ll keep repeating it — this International Workers’ Day and every day. #MayDay

@Eruion @DGodefridi Please feel free to explain how NATO was integral to US dominance instead of how US dominance was integral to NATO. Pretty sure NATO was there to protect Europe from the USSR and Warsaw Pact not prop up the dollar.

@DGodefridi Previous American leaders created a system that made America #1. NATO is an integral part of that system and was crucial to making the USD the world reserve currency which allowed the US to create almost free money. Previous US leaders were very smart, noone questions that.

The problem with Americans—from the perspective of those all-seeing Europeans—is that they’re "stupid" and can’t see what’s obvious to Europeans (who, for their part, always see the true reality). Americans are incapable of thinking about an action before carrying it out; they act like they pee: according to the urgency of the moment. Which explains why the US has held the #1 spot worldwide in every field for a century🇺🇸

@ChrisAlvino This is my issue with Liberals explained in a single post. They are COMPLETELY unable to practice any kind of empathy towards their fellow AMERICANS. How about we put them first and then worry about the rest of the world?

This is my issue with conservatives explained in a single video: They are COMPLETELY unable to practice any kind of empathy (neither cognitive nor emotional) with any out-group. Until they have first-hand experience with an issue, they cannot fathom that it even exists

@RepDonBacon In all seriousness why is NATO so sacrosanct that it can't be allowed to change or evolve to reflect that the adversary it was developed to defend against doesn't exist anymore? Is Europe incapable of defending against the Russia of today? The one that Ukraine stymied?

The history will be written. Destroying NATO will be seen as a disgrace for centuries to come.

@JustinWStapley Respectfully, no, don't expand the Senate, just repeal the 17th. Senators should be appointed by the governor of their state from a list approved by the legislature of said state. No need to expand it, just bring it back to it's original purpose.

Don't stop with expanding the House. Expand the Senate as well. Give each state two more Senators appointed by the legislature along with the existing two popularly elected. This would not only get the states back at the table of the federal government but would give added incentive to huge states like CA and NY to break into smaller states and restore more balance to the electoral college.

@RepRashida Term limits for CONGRESS first. Enforce ANY level of ethics on CONGRESSFIRST. Vote the scum sucking bastards out of CONGRESSFIRST. Expand the House so that each Rep actually represents the same number of people. Fix Congress first and then we can talk about the courts.

Term limits for the Supreme Court. Enforce a binding Code of Ethics. Impeach these corrupt justices. Expand the Court.

@EricSpracklen We were, but thems the new rules that the DemonRats have insisted upon and we will follow them to the T from here on out. No more one set of rules for them and another for us.

I keep seeing a lot of supposed MAGA people say that it doesn’t matter if Comey gets convicted because “the process is the punishment.” Call me crazy but that sure sounds like government weaponization to me. Aren’t we against that?

@ChrisCillizza You can replace "Donald Trump" in your post with "Many Americans" and it would be even more true.

Donald Trump doesn't really care if Jim Comey goes to jail. He just wants to make Comey's life miserable for as long as possible.

@AVGirl4Life "Do you support Trump cutting off aid to foreign countries"? Yes, yes I do. Notice I don't give a shit why, or the impact to those countries. WE are $36,000,000,000,000 in debt. Fix that before the rest of the world's problems.

Do you support Trump cutting off aid to foreign countries in order to make better trade deals even if it costs lives?

@CandiNilss39184 @pjd3733 @w_terrence @ABCNetwork Well... that's a take sure. Roseanne said something about the appearance of a member of the President's staff, Kimmel made a "joke" about the President dying after two prior assasination attempts. You're right Rosanne was much worse. /s

@Bob991015 @pjd3733 @w_terrence @ABCNetwork Two different situations completely. Roseann attacked someone personally and said some vile things and used racial stereotypes to an individual. Kimmel did not do that. I did not like his joke but he did not intend to attack.

Dear Jimmy Kimmel, listen to me very closely. I’m a comedian. I’ve made fun of Jill Biden. I’ve made fun of Michelle Obama. I’ve roasted First Ladies before. But I have never in my life joked about Jill Biden becoming a widow or Michelle Obama becoming a widow. I’ve never joked about Joe Biden or Barack Obama having an attempt made on their life. I’ve never laughed at the thought of their wives standing there in fear, wondering if their husbands are going to make it home alive. Because that is not comedy. That is sick. You could have joked about Melania being married to Trump. You could have joked about politics. You could have even gone after her accent like liberals usually do. But no — you chose to joke about Melania Trump becoming a widow. And let’s be honest, Jimmy: when you hate Donald Trump as much as you do, that doesn’t sound like a joke. It sounds like how you really feel. They always say there is truth in comedy.

@SenateGOP Well... if there's such widespread support and the DemonRats are blocking the Senate from moving forward, why don't y'all nuke the filibuster and DO YOUR DAMN JOBS and pass the SAVE Act? Just a thought that maybe you'd be responsive to what voters want.

Every single Senate Democrat voted against voter ID—a simple measure to secure elections that’s supported by 81% of Americans. This phony task force should look into Senate Democrats if they truly want to find out who is making it easier to cheat in elections.

@pjd3733 @w_terrence @ABCNetwork you good with being this hypocritical on your choices of who you broadcast? How bout you apply the same standards to Kimmel, who can't keep his political foot out of his mouth, that you did to Roseanne?

@w_terrence Kimmel is a hypocrite too

@RepTimKennedy Well, Timmy, if we don't have kings than why the need for "No Kings" protests? Obviously you must be wrong and thus we have a picture with two kings

This isn’t your kingdom. It’s our country. America fired its last king 250 years ago.

@SenateGOP So why don't you do something the fuck about it. Are Republicans so neutered that they can't actually wield power? How's about you nuke the filibuster, pass the SAVE act, fund DHS, and otherwise: DO YOUR DAMN JOBS!!!!

Under Biden, Senate Democrats raised your taxes and pushed inflation above 9%.  Senate Republicans passed the largest middle-class tax cut in history, which every single Democrat opposed.

@SenateGOP So why don't the Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster and pass some damn legislation to fund the necessary agencies... you know: DO YOUR DAMN JOBS!!!!!

Democrats won’t fund law enforcement agencies like the Secret Service, which protect the very targets of the left’s extreme rhetoric. It’s extremely dangerous and irresponsible.

@mlalex43 @Shawn_Farash @emnode I think you hit the nail on the head and didn't realize it. The media will say "we" need to tone down the rhetoric, but then politicians (of both stripes) will use language like this, and yes IDIOTS will then respond to it literally. Why doesn't Jefferies be the bigger man?

@Shawn_Farash @emnode Jeffries was talking about the redistricting battles. He was not referring to political violence. You obviously know that. Unless you are an idiot.

Can someone on the Left tell me what rules we're playing by? If Donald Trump saying "March peacefully and patriotically" on January 6th is "inciting a violent insurrection"... Then what is it when Hakeem Jeffries calls for "Maximum Warfare everywhere all the time"? Because if we're playing by the Left's rules, Hakeem Jeffries should be held legally responsible for the mass assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Their rules. Not mine.

@LeaderJohnThune Then why haven't you nuked the filibuster and passed the damn legislation? Do your damn job and pass legislation. You have the majority, act like it you spineless simp.

Border security and immigration enforcement are crucial functions of government. They are essential to maintaining public safety. Democrats have opted not to fund them. At all.

@BasedMikeLee It's called being responsible for themselves. Let them carry the burden of their own defense and show us how easy it is to defend themselves and provide the wonderful cultured safety net they hold so dear. I have complete faith that Germany can do it.

Germany wants to build Europe’s most powerful army by 2039. Is that a threat? Or is it part of a psy-op to convince Americans to keep hemorrhaging money through our lopsided NATO commitment?
