I didn’t vote for Trump (or the idiot) but I am willing to acknowledge those things that I believe his administration has gotten right.

First. It is simply beyond belief that the EU with a GDP of $19 trillion can’t create a defense against Russia with a GDP of $2 trillion. Far past time for the US to cut those selfish assholes loose to defend themselves. We bailed them out in WW’s One and Two and have paid for their fucking defense since. Enough.

Second. Germany and the UK are well on their way to becoming countries that suppress free speech much like Russia, Iran and China. We in the US must acknowledge this fact and realize that we can no longer be allies with countries that don’t share our love of freedom.

You didn’t vote for Trump? You are the idiot, hopefully you have seen at least a glimmer of light. I don’t care for his style, but it is effective, he could lead us to a Military Dictatorship, if the Dems hadn’t fucked up the Military like they fucked up everything else. I mean they are fuck-ups, you voted for that?

Anyway, I agree with you on Europe, they ain’t worth the trouble or the investment. Trump thinks he can fix it, he can’t but I suppose we are gonna have to let him try, I think the German election isn’t gonna turn out the way we think, just look at England! And putting somebody in jail for a MEME. Give me a break, Germany I can understand a little bit, Hitler was their leader, but England, they had Churchill (!?!), but of course they sacked him as soon as WW II was over. But, what happened to the British humor, too many Mooslims I suppose, and not enough young girls to go around (sickness).

Why exactly do you have to resort to insults when someone is trying to agree with you? It seems counterproductive. You apparently also can’t read. I clearly said that I didn’t vote for Harris. Now who’s the idiot?

I find that I am constantly revising my view of the new administration although I still have major qualms about Trump’s personality and his apparent infatuation with Putin. I agree that the war in Ukraine must end and that they will have to sacrifice territory but I don’t understand the whole demand for minerals thing. My brain explodes.

If all countries had wise, rational and intelligent leaders, they would cooperate for the benefit of their countries and the planet. The world can't afford war... using up the world's resources! . It would be wiser to spend money on the needs of the people in their respective countries...not waste it on making weapons.

Those who have taken over the German government...are of the Biden calibre, absolutely senile. They need to go through psychoanalysis to see how they have come up with their weird ideas on how to handle problems in Germany. When they lock up good people for simply saying what they think... and let murderers roam their streets.???...The people in charge of the German government ...have to be as loony as Biden.

I must admit, when VP Vance gave his speech in Germany, I was a little nervous, cuz between DOGE, Canada, Mexico, Greenland and the Gulf of America, we don't need to be pissing anymore people off! But after seeing those pussy globalists crying (!!!) and carrying on and then President Trump's exchange with the governor of Maine and the resulting outrage, I thought this is precisely how they should be dealing with these rude, elite assholes. The democrats seem to forget they've been declawed and defanged and they're weak mewling means nothing to us. Yeah, he'll see you in court, gov Mills and you better enjoy your fifteen minutes, cuz once it's over, you're done and no one will even remember you. As to the pompous euro trash globo-marxists, we'll see how tough they talk when Russia wins the war in Ukraine and they look to Trump for help and a handout. Fuck ALL OF YOU! President Trump, get us the hell out of the UN!

Why have all these techno Fascist jumped onto the MAGA train?? Have MAGA been so demoralized that they can’t ask simple questions? Yes, including JD Vance Bowman who hated Trump and wrote a book about how utterly low class his family and friends were. Not to mention he married a Hindu, yet claims to be catholic. How does this go unnoticed?

I’m afraid the Great Reset is in play right now. They needed Joe Biden to us get us here. The insanity of the Joe Biden administration had to happen. Trump had to lose 2020, so he could have the great comeback. The world is truly a stage, and we are just rocks 🪨 living in Plato’s cave.

What techno fascists do you refer to? As to JD Vance having a change of heart regarding President Trump, we are all free to change our minds and I speak from personal experience. In 2016, I loathed Trump. To be clear, I was not into politics, AT ALL, never voted in my life, but if I had to choose, I suppose I'd say I was a democrat. I was born in Blue Hawaii, we're all default liberals, per Andrew Breitbart. I was just put off by his garish, boastful, gameshow host persona. Then when he was actually elected, I thought for sure it signaled the final decline of western civilization and the end of the American experiment. He was going to embarrass us on the world stage and we were done as a world power. I went back to living my life and as with every president, my world was never affected. Several years went by, then one day, I happened to catch some of the Kavanaugh hearings, because Mazie Hirono was speaking. As I watched, I was stunned. I couldn't believe these were democrats! Clearly they were lying about this guy. They accused him of being a gang rapist and groping a girl back in high school, thirty five years ago! More women piled on and accused him of drugging and raping them in college. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, the rudeness, the obvious lying. That was when I started researching. I watched the Benghazi hearings, the 30,000 emails hearings, the Peter Strzok hearings, the Steele Dossier, the special investigation that ended in the Mueller Report, I watched the mainstream media and their endless Russia collusion coverage and even I could see how blatantly they were cheerleading for the democrats. I looked into Hillary and Trump and all the proven lies they told about him, even to this day! I researched Haiti and Vince Foster and everyone on the Clinton kill list, the Clinton Foundation, Lawrence King and the Franklin Scandal, Dennis Hastert, the Biden family, and even Pizzagate. Then I watched what I assumed would be a big bore...President Trump addressing the UN General Assembly. He walked into that room full of mostly hostile globalists and told them exactly who he was. They laughed at him and he handled it with humor and grace. He got us out of the Paris Climate Accord and told those elitist, uppity globalists he would never give up our freedom and sovereignty to their agenda and urged every other country to do the same. That's when my change of heart happened. I voted for the first time in my life in 2020 for President Trump. Sure, we got robbed, we all witnessed the fuckery live and in real time and I was so crestfallen. But I never stopped researching and it all steered me to the Republican party. I'm an independent now, but I can say emphatically I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY EVER AGAIN. (Sorry I went on for so long.)

Usha Vance has never claimed to be a Christian. She will never deny that she's a practicing Hindu, JD is a "born again" Catholic, they're a dual-faith household and they're comfortable with it. Religion is a personal relationship between you and God. Who is anyone to judge what path you take to God?

Te Reagan's avatar

How exactly does a dual faith household work? It’s a serious question if your a practicing Christian and believe that Jesus Christ is your lord and savior.

So, Vance Bowman is ok with his wife going to hell? How does this workout for the kids? Sorry, they are liars. No Christian would want their family to live in sin and worship many gods. JD Vance is a fake Christian. He does not take his faith seriously which why he chose to become a catholic. He should of converted to Hindu. He had a Catholic wedding under God, and then run off and had a Hindu wedding under many gods. So which God does Vance Bowman worship? Hard to say by his actions. This man even flip flops on faith.

Well, he's done well by me so far. Until he displays a crack in the facade that leads to bad consequences for Americans, I'll allow him to carry on. As to religion, it's less about God, than building a huge congregation of revenue-generating followers. I was born into a family that followed the baptist faith, but had Japanese grandparents who were Buddhists. I'm glad I had a solid foundation in religion, as a child, bc it grew beyond the confines of the church. Being exposed to Buddhism made me tolerant of other faiths, even as a child. My view is that there isn't just one path to God, there are as many as there are individuals on the planet. So yeah, their choice of religion doesn't really bother me. As long as they're good, decent people that have a solid foundation in spiritual compassion and humanity. You can be the most devout Catholic, follow all the rituals, go to church, tithe etc, yet still be the biggest asshole around. I've known one or two.

“Religion is a personal relationship between you and God. Who is anyone to judge what path you take to God?”

Yes, it is a personal decision. However, both Vance and Usha made the choice to go public with their faith. And they wanted people to admire their multicultural union. They used their faith for publicity. So, they kind of made it public. And now you want to tell me it’s none of my business. Sorry, but they made it my business.

Im guessing neither Vance or his wife take their faith seriously. It’s all cosplay for them. Fun to dress up and pretend for the little people.

I see similarities between Vance and Obama. The similarities are uncanny. Deep State likes to run the same play book. And yes, politicians reinvent themselves all the time. Vance certainly says what MAGA craves to hear. Forgive me for being suspicious. After the past thirteen years, before that the betrayal of George W Bush, I don’t trust any of them but Trump.

Vance rode to popular attention - and then got him a Senate seat from Ohio - on the basis of his 2016 book Hillbilly Elegy. Sound familiar?

This is not unprecedented in US politics: Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father (1995) helped launch his political career, just as John F. Kennedy's Profiles in Courage (1956) was a deliberate ploy for public attention.

In some ways, Vance's book resembles Obama's memoir. Both recount stories of men clearly not part of the WASP establishment, who were determined to achieve greatness. Like Obama, Vance attended an Ivy League law school - Yale, rather than Obama's Harvard - where, like the Clintons, he met his future wife.

Obama became a community organiser, whereas Vance became a venture capitalist with backing from one of Silicon Valley's conservative moguls, Peter Thiel. One of Vance's attractions for Trump was his ability to raise money from very rich donors.

As a teenager, Vance wondered about his sexuality, to which his grandmother replied:

“You're not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks that would be okay. God would still love you.”

😂😂😂 Go, Grandma Bowman or Vance or whatever! Yeah, ok, they're all carefully crafted characters that play their parts upon the world stage, whenever they get their cue to perform. I like JD, but the minute he does anything out of line, that's it. Yes, he's had some questionable associations, but haven't they all? Even Trump? Elon Musk? Whoa boy! (There's a meme of him, with Rothschilds and Rockefellers and various illuminati-types laughing it up behind him saying, "And we got them to make the brain chip guy their hero! Ha,ha,ha,haaaa!" 😆😆 I thought that was hilarious.) We should be somewhat suspicious of them all, right? I used to be deeply suspicious of Tulsi Gabbard. She was a little too smooth. We're on such a roll now, I hate to say anything negative to disrupt the flow. The only guy I trusted was murdered before I got to know him well. Phil Haney, a security official in the DHS, who recognized the serious threat posed by Islamic terrorists well established within our country and he tried to update the system to reflect their locations and what they were up to. Obama went behind him and removed all his hard work. He was found on the side of the highway in CA, shot in the chest, ruled a suicide. Everyone who knew him said he was a patriot and a good guy. Well, not EVERYONE, apparently. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to chat. I appreciate it. And thanks for reminding me not to be too trusting of anybody in our government! 😄💟🇺🇸👍
