@hwinkler4real Town didn't have a drive-in in the 80s. Don't remember if it never existed or had simply closed by then.

@Mr_Green_Candle @Rothmus "Dumber" = does not agree to continue status quo that mostly benefits Europe.
Also, our non-rich live very well, not just decently.
English
@Rothmus Narrative in favour of “only the US “ is good is so pathetic. At least in France not only the rich part of citizens lives decently…
You re all dumber everyday it’s very crazy to see.
English
Trump is the ultimate scapegoat for everyone’s failures. Especially France.

French expert says, "As an ally of America, we feel a deep sense of humiliation. The global economy is on the verge of collapse due to the incompetence of Donald Trump, an irresponsible clown."

@GY1356 @jehanh4 @KurtSchlichter You didn't win a majority of the popular vote in the last national election and it's only because Republicans respect minority rights in the Senate that the SAVE Act hasn't passed and that the stupid games with ICE and CBP funding continue.
English
@jehanh4 @KurtSchlichter A 50.01 majority imposing their will (in our case, Democrats imposing racial and gender Marxism and economic socialism or commu) on 49.99 minority will lead to major civil unrest.
English
Besides that they agreed to it? Well, because they see it would be disadvantageous to do so.
Miss Information@jehanh4
@KurtSchlichter Why then shouldn't cities, or large states, leave a system dominated by small rural minorities?
English
@ArOkTxNm1 @KurtSchlichter Exactly. Where will the power come from?

@RedEaglePatriot @micah_erfan Kennedy just made stuff up to sound important
English
@RedEaglePatriot @micah_erfan Don't forget Burger, Harlan, White, O'Connor, and Kennedy.
English
The Supreme Court has had a Republican Majority since 1969.
What the hell are you talking about?
Pro-America | Politics & Markets@Pro__Trading
The court was left leaning for 50 years. It's finally right leaning for a few years and the left is melting down.
English
@thatsnotfunny10 @micah_erfan And looked to evolving international standards when declaring the death penalty cruel and unusual. Miranda warnings were a pure invention, as is the exclusionary rule. Garner v Tennessee is to blame for thugs running from the police. Then there is a constitutional right to sodomy
English
@micah_erfan So a “conservative” Supreme Court ruled in favor of a right to abortion based on “privacy” in Roe v Wade? Right.
English
@micah_erfan You aren't claiming the Warren and Burger courts were right leaning, are you? They invented a lot of rights and claimed they came from the constitution. These were not conservative courts. Later, Kennedy, O'Connor, and Souter were appointed by Republicans. Total squishes.
English
@FiringLineShow @RosenJeffrey @ConstitutionCtr The progressive amendments were a mostly negative event. The income tax led directly to the bloated federal government we've all come to know and love. Direct election of senators was a mistake. Prohibition? It was the first repealed amendment.
English
Of the 12,000 amendments that have been proposed, the Constitution has only been amended 27 times since the founding of America. Did the founders intend for it to be so hard?
“They disagreed on this question,” said @RosenJeffrey, CEO emeritus of the @ConstitutionCtr. “One thing we've learned from American history is you can't pass amendments without national movements for them. They're not top-down, they're from the bottom up.”
English
@MarvinTBaumann @Red_State_Rebel The best parts of European culture live on outside of it in the Americas and Australia and New Zealand. Trump didn't start this process, but he stopped pretending it wasn't happening and he's much less polite in the ways he describes the reordering of priorities.
English
@MarvinTBaumann @Red_State_Rebel We will see about that. I think what you're observing is Europe fading in importance having squandered what it had and what it was through two brutal world wars followed by a period of self-doubt that hasn't ended. Instead of being proud of what was and what can be, you apologize
English
Americans don't understand that we did not lose trust in Trump. We never trusted him.
We lost trust in the American people not to elect people like Trump & lost trust in US institutions to reign a president like Trump in if he hurt US allies.
Both people + institutions failed.
Justin Stapley@JustinWStapley
NATO is so important that it would be hoped Europe understands the current president is term limited...
English
@MarvinTBaumann @heiko6112 Name one unconstitutional policy or action, Herr Baumann. Arresting and expelling illegal aliens is executing the law. Also, he's not trashing all allies, just Europeans with a particular focus on Germany, Spain, and the UK.
English
@heiko6112 congress failed, supreme court failed, governers are hardly doing anything, democrats are doing nothing at all
trump is abducting and abusing people, shitting on the constitution, starting random wars every few hours, crashing the global economy, trashing all allies, and so on
English
@rexrodelisa8 @SaveAmericaGuy @tedlieu @DAGToddBlanche No, he's your candidate for US Senate in Maine. Your delusions about Trump are just that, delusions.
English
Here are three things that will happen:
1. DOJ will lose the Comey case.
2. In the next Administration, Comey will get a big monetary settlement for selective prosecution.
3. After this Administration ends, @DAGToddBlanche will get disbarred.

Acyn@Acyn
AG Todd Blanche tells Kristen Welker that individuals selling 86 merchandise or posting messages similar to Comey’s seashell post will not be prosecuted: “Of course not. That’s posted constantly. That phrase is used constantly.”
English
@seanmallen @tedlieu @DAGToddBlanche If you can't win at the ballot box, try the courts, if you can't win in court, try to put him in jail, if that doesn't work try to shoot him, if that doesn't work, claim the effort was a hoax (last 2 can be attempted at least 3x in 2 yrs). His survival is the proof he's in on it.
English
@tedlieu @DAGToddBlanche The most sued administration (trump's) will be followed by the most sued administration because of trump.
"we will get destroyed...and we will deserve it"

@tedlieu @DAGToddBlanche Are you laying odds on #3? I think I'll take the other side of that action.

@Lynn_Henning @general_ben Believing Trump is an idiot is comforting, but it isn't true. He rarely rules any option off limits. He's taken in the information and arrived at a different solution than you prefer. This does not alone make him wrong.
English
@Lynn_Henning @general_ben It could be Iran would somehow become more peaceful and drop the whole project and moderates would take over, but that sounds like the same wishful thinking that voted the CCP into the WTO. How did that work out on moderating the CCP?
English
This short-sighted decision will not hurt Germany. It only hurts us. It does nothing to protect our strategic interests overseas. We cannot defend America from TX or GA or NC. We need forward friends and forward access.
Nick Sortor@nicksortor
🚨 BREAKING — IT’S OFFICIAL: President Trump is WITHDRAWING 5,000 US TROOPS from Germany after Chancellor Merz criticized 47’s Iran operation Good! Tell NATO to take care of themselves. We don’t need them. BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!
English
@Lynn_Henning @general_ben There's no way to know. That's the fun of counterfactuals. If Obama hadn't handed over the pallet of cash and lifted sanctions, would the Houthis have closed the Red Sea? Would 10/7 have happened? What about Hezbollah rearming and harassing Israel? IRGC directing Iraqi militias?
English
@KurtSchlichter Exactly right. No constitutional amendment eliminating the electoral college has any chance of enanctment. Every state with <10 votes would oppose it as would many of the larger states, especially the red ones.
English
Then the states that agreed to join the Union because the Electoral College would protect them from being totally dominated by cities would leave it.
Dream for America@DreamAmerica_
PETE BUTTIGIEG: "What if we selected our President by letting the person who got the most votes take the office, instead of the Electoral College?"
English
@Lynn_Henning @general_ben I meant your international comparisons. The Norks also agreed to stop enriching, to inspections, blah, blah, blah in exchange for what amount to bribes. Clinton negotiated those deals. Kim wiped his ass with them and kept the cash. The inspections are a waste of time.
English
The comparisons are obvious: What was being allowed to be enriched, restrictions on centrifuges, as well as inspections by the IAEA, were all at the heart of JCPOA. It was strong and it achieved, demonstrably. GOP Senators naturally opposed it. The four Dems who did: Menendez, who is in prison; Manchin, who was a GOP Senator in a Dem t-shirt and shorts; Schumer, who has been at the heart of Dem Senate failings; and Ben Cardin, who today would look at the JCPOA as having been eminently preferable to its destruction and to what DJT has since done, leading to this avoidable catastrophe, on all fronts.
