Video: Trump Shoves Montenegro Prime Minister Out of the Way to Get in Front of Camera at NATO Summit

Days without embarrassing America: 0

PoliticsMay 2017 • Views: 43,633

This classless buffoon continues to embarrass the United States on the world stage, shoving Montenegro Prime Minister Duško Marković out of the way so he can get in front of the cameras at the NATO Summit meeting in Brussels today. Then he sticks his nose in the air and preens.

This has to be one of the grossest moments yet from our extremely crude so-called president.

Did Trump just shove another NATO leader to be in the front of the group? pic.twitter.com/bL1r2auELd

Considering that the US is the only one to invoke Article 5 in the history of NATO, that seems like a pretty big deal.

For those not familiar with NATO Article 5 - this goes to the mutual defense obligations. NATO responded after 9/11 to the US request, and helped the US in its efforts, particularly in sending troops to Afghanistan.

More than 1000 NATO servicemembers died in Afghanistan under NATO Article 5 obligations.

Trump actively is gutting US obligations and alliances all benefiting a guy sitting back in the Kremlin wondering at his great fortune of having someone so thoroughly debased and surrounded with compromised cronies, that the Russians (Soviets) never tried this earlier.

Mark Sanford has apparently run out of fucks to give. Here’s what he said about his former buddy Mulvaney and the budget:

The most withering criticism came from Representative Mark Sanford, who served in the South Carolina delegation with Mulvaney but rejected the plan’s rosy economic scenarios. “This budget presumes a Goldilocks economy,” Sanford said. “It assumes that the stars perfectly align with regard to economic drivers. Can you guess the last time we had an unemployment rate of 4.8 percent, growth of 3 percent and inflation held at 2 percent?” Sanford informed Mulvaney that it had never happened. He said of 3 percent growth: “It’s frankly not only a myth. It’s a lie.”

rawstory.com

He’s also been vocal about opposing the yam on offshore drilling

President Donald Trump signed an executive order last Friday that could make it easier for offshore drilling to expand to the Atlantic and Arctic shelves.

…Republican Rep. Mark Sanford, who represents South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District along the Atlantic coast, immediately opposed the order. He introduced a bill the same day that would suspend offshore drilling and activities related to it on the East Coast for 10 years.

I’m sure he’ll at some point revert to his GOP roots, but right now, Sanford is standing up to the idiots.

Heh, I was just looking at an auto racing discussion forum popular with the Indy car racing crowd. There is a big debate about who will be driving the pace car for the Indy 500 on Sunday. It has not been announced. So, the speculation is because it hasn’t been announced and is being kept secret it must be VP Mike Pence proud Hoosier.

Yes, of course politics is entering the discussion, as much as it is forbidden in the racing discussions.

It would not surprise me if it was Pence. Though I doubt the Secret Service would allow it.

Many are saying if it is Pence, they will boo mightily. Others are saying the boo birds would be drowned out by the cheers.

Ugh. One thing for sure, the Indy 500 is an Indiana thing so even those saying they would boo are most likely Indianans. It is way more a tradition than an auto race for many that go to the event.

Good story about a high school in New York that had an elective this year about the Holocaust. This story features a couple who lost family members.

When Tonawanda resident Beth Lewin was just a girl in 1939, she was packed onto a train and sent away from her native Germany, out of the hands of the Nazis and the genocide that was to come.

At the age of 7, she boarded a train bound for Holland “with a suitcase and a smile,” waving good-bye to her parents.

That was the last time she would ever see them.

And her husband:

Martin Lewin, also a Holocaust survivor whose grandparents died in concentration camps, also told students to speak out against injustice, telling them how he was alienated by his friends as a boy due to Nazi policies, and was pelted with rocks and beaten up by high school students in Frankfurt, Germany, for being Jewish.

“You learned to run fast when bigger guys came after you,” he said. “I took my share, of course. You can’t always get away. But you know, you heal from those things, and after a while we were able to get away and come to America.”

The Lewins pointed out to the young people that they needed to speak up when something wrong was happening.

Ryan said Gianforte “should apologize” directly, but stopped short of saying Gianforte should withdraw or resign if he wins Thursday’s race.

“I know he has his own version, and I’m sure he’s going to have more to say, but there’s no call for this, no matter what, under any circumstance,” he added.

Note to Paulie—“his own version” is a fucking lie. He should not only apologize, he should go to jail.

I saw that. Our bomb set off a whole lot of explosives the bad guys had set or hidden there. The whole place came down. That’s on ISIS afaik.

A Pentagon investigation has found that more than 100 civilians were killed after the U.S. dropped a bomb on a building in Mosul, Iraq, in March.

The probe found that the U.S. bomb triggered secondary explosions from devices clandestinely planted there by ISIS fighters. And the military says the secondary blasts caused the concrete building to collapse.

Lawyer arrested after allegedly threatening rape victim with deportation for testifying :

A Baltimore-based attorney has been arrested and charged with obstruction of justice and witness intimidation, after allegedly threatening a rape victim and her husband with deportation, saying that they could get swept up by federal immigration agents if they tried to go to court and testify against his client, who has been charged “with second-degree rape, third- and fourth-degree sex offenses, and second-degree assault,” according to the Baltimore Sun.

Attorney Christos Vasiliades, and his accomplice Edgar Ivan Rodriguez, also offered the couple $3,000 in cash “if their absence in court got the case ‘thrown out,’ court documents show, then encouraged the couple to track down the defendant and ‘kick his ass.’” According to the Washington Post, the couple felt threatened by the interaction and went straight to law enforcement. Authorities then equipped the couple with a recording device and had them arrange a follow-up meeting with Vasiliades and Rodriguez, who again brought up deportation threats, saying ICE was “looking at this case.”

Trump: “The Germans are bad, very bad.”

(google translate):

US President Donald Trump has complained bitterly about the German trade surplus on his meeting with the EU top in Brussels. “The Germans are evil, very evil,” said Trump. This was learned by the SPIEGEL from participants in the meeting.

Trump said, “Look at the millions of cars they sell in the US, and we’ll stop that.”

At the meeting, EU Commissioner Jean-Claude Juncker took the side of the Germans and disagreed with Trumps Schelte. Free trade is a good thing for all, said the Commissioner. Juncker had tried a friendly tone, but was hard on the matter, says the participants.

Not a defense or condemnation of MM, but IMO an explanation of some of the “old guard” of LGF that are still here:

After 9/11 a lot of reasonable people sort of went nuts more or less. This site in its earlier days was a testament to this. When you make common cause with crazy and/or horrible people over a somewhat more reasonable issue, you put yourself in danger of becoming like them because eventually their less reasonable views start to seem less crazy to you.

This is another reason why I caution against the whole “the enemy of my enemy is my ally” line of thinking.

Those media outlets that have since retracted their endorsements, including stating that he was incompetent, etc., had no problem endorsing him before he physically assaulted a reporter.

They had no problem endorsing him even though he supports repealing Obamacare, and doing all the other things the GOP is plotting to do.

Let’s not treat these retraction of endorsements as some kind of moment of clarity.

The moment of clarity would be when they spoke out against someone who was incompetent and incapable of doing the job even before the person physically assaulted a reporter. Montana media was more than willing to endorse Gianforte even after he made threats previously (calling them jokes), but it now shows that the guy has serious anger issues.

I’m think Trump didn’t mention Article V of the NATO Treaty first, because he didn’t write the speech he presented, and second, whoever wrote the speech probably didn’t know how important it was that Trump mention it in his speech. Not mentioning Article V in his speech leaves our NATO allies scratching their heads and wondering whether they can depend on Trump and the U.S. for assistance if/when they need it, so, yes, I’d also qualify his speech as a disaster.

Yesterday, I had a woman in my shop who used to do those horse endurance rides on Arabian horses (one at a time, I presume). I told her about one of my old customers who would do those races on his mules, and be delighted when they would beat the Arabs because their owners would get so mad. She explained the physiological differences and why the mules have an advantage (naturally slower heart rate, etc.) and I asked her if anyone was making mules half Arab and half donkey, and she said, ‘What a great idea! I’ll have to look into that.’

When I told Mr. w, it gave him the idea that people who are breeding the extra-large, semi-domesticated cats (Servals and such) should come up with a sled-pulling breed and enter the Iditarod. He said with all those barking dogs, the cats should be really motivated.

Also: what happened to change the Idiot’s mind about cutting his foreign trip short (as had been floated around last week)? He just couldn’t resist the opportunity to annoy more “allies”?

Not a defense or condemnation of MM, but IMO an explanation of some of the “old guard” of LGF that are still here:

After 9/11 a lot of reasonable people sort of went nuts more or less. This site in its earlier days was a testament to this. When you make common cause with crazy and/or horrible people over a somewhat more reasonable issue, you put yourself in danger of becoming like them because eventually their less reasonable views start to seem less crazy to you.

This is another reason why I caution against the whole “the enemy of my enemy is my ally” line of thinking.

I definitely went nuts myself after 9/11, and have since recovered, so I can relate to this.

“once grampa totally impoverishes himself to qualify for ‘-aid’ because after a lifetime of prudent saving and planning, he was squeezed between not having nearly enough to pay for his own elder care and was nevertheless too “rich” to qualify for “assistance or supplementation”

“That’s Catch-22?”

“Yup.”

“That’s ridiculous!”

“It’s the best Catch there is, all right.”

Which is why Swearingen used Wu’s pigs as his corpse disposal service in Deadwood.

Mountain lions, wolves, and maybe Grizzlies were the only NA predators that would take on a big sow or boar. We know what happened to them.

I always think of this:

@WalshFreedom Really going with the “pay what you owe” thing, huh? Self-awareness has never been your strong suit.

Trump: “The Germans are bad, very bad.”

(google translate):

Yes, because historically an economically isolated and politically chastised Germany has never led to any bad outcomes, right?

re: #296 Sir John Barron

My Dad pays $6k a month to keep Mom in a nursing home (dementia/ wheelchair bound), and in our area that is one of the lowest rates. She’s 80, has been there 3 years, and will likely be there another 5 years or so. Fortunately, he planned for this, but there is no excuse for this not being at least partially covered by Medicare. He has been working since he was 16 and paid a lot into it, but his savings will have to be completely depleted before the reduced payment available through Medicaid could even be relevant. We need a better system.

Grampa is on Medicare. The poors use Medicaid

Old poors are on Medicaid.
