Really, the executive has the power to make this kind of decision unilaterally? Was it really a good idea to make the foundation of our legal system dependent on when a few old folks either die in office or get close to it? Is this really a system of checks and balances? I'm pretty positive that if you gave the founding fathers a glimpse of the country today it'd be fairly clear to them that they fucked some stuff up. The maddening people are the people who live in the here and now who won't so much as entertain the idea that certain things could be improved upon. I mean... the goddamn Bill of Rights is a set of amendments. The rights that we consider the most sacrosanct are all things that they forgot to put in the first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 'Trump is ours!': Russian state TV celebrates Trump's suggestion that Crimea is part of Russia Quote At the end of the program, "60 Minutes" co-host Olga Skabeeva triumphantly declared "Crimea is ours! Trump is ours!" Crimea, a peninsula that juts out south of Ukraine into the Black Sea, has been contested territory between Russia and Ukraine for centuries. It was part of Ukraine until 2014, when Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded and annexed Crimea with the help of pro-Russian separatists. The annexation of Crimea led to widespread international condemnation, sanctions, and Russia's expulsion from the G8. The vast majority of UN member states, including the US, recognizes Crimea as Ukraine's rightful territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaladinSolo Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 BTW the US doesn't even spend that much, and we're on track for that to go down to 3.5%GDP this year, obviously in dollar amount it's way more but just fucking stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osxmatt Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 It's amazingly coincidental that Germany wasn't controlled by Russia, until people started suggesting the US was controlled by Russia. Just like the mainstream media wasn't fake news, until people started suggesting that much of right wing news is legitimate fake news. This president is a master of projection. It's so transparent.

Either Trump colluded with Russia, or Putin is the luckiest guy in the world. "Hey, totally by accident the American president is doing literally everything I wish he would do." I mean, that's so highly suspect I wonder why that's not what everyone is talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaladinSolo Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 While 60% of germany's natural gas comes from Russia only 20%of its total energy is natural gas, and that comes out to around 9% of its energy coming from Russia, Trump of course claimed it was 70%.
