As I said, anyone else?

"Me.
I disagree ... vehemently."

Really? You think that the USA should be responsible for leading Europe's defense, with the Europeans only in a support role?

Of course, we already know that you're a bit unhinged from reality, based on your posting history.

Anyone else?

"They [the EU] should be the ones leading their defenses, with support from the US, not the other way around."

Does anyone disagree with this statement?

"I sit here, an American citizen, and wonder how long it will be before they come after the rest of us, for the crime of speaking out, for opposing the dictator..."

The partisans who are currently cheering on the police state apparatus will be crying about it in a couple of years. Meanwhile, the partisans on the other side complaining about it now will have no problem once their party gets their hands on it. Such is politics.

#5- nobody said anything about "tough love".

You don't have to hate or assume the worst about everything your president does (whether Trump, Biden, Obama or whoever), just like you don't have agree with or defend everything they do.

"Apparently we can't say "midget -------" on this site, since the latter word will be censored and cause bemusement."

See, told you so. :-)

"imo, Pres Trump has been actively weakening NATO and the solidarity of the EU."

The divisions within the EU were already existing and longstanding. Regardless of what you think of Trump, his actions have helped the EU realize they need to step up and take greater responsibility for the security situation on their own continent. They should be the ones leading their defenses, with support from the US, not the other way around.

The problem is that the left either doesn't take the mass migration issue seriously, or they incentivize if not actually encourage it, while the right takes extreme over the top measures that hurt not only legal immigrants but also trade and transit. Unfortunately, we can't have a sane middle ground.

And to those who like to blame the U.S. for everything, remember that we are not the ones supporting Maduro, who has caused a mass exodus from his country that's been affecting both North and South America.

Amateur comedians need to start somewhere.

World Naked Bike Ride

The World Naked Bike Ride is an international clothing-optional bike ride in which participants plan, meet and ride together en masse on human-powered transport, to "deliver a vision of a cleaner, safer, body-positive world."

'Don't be tossing "legally" around like you know what you're doing.'

Don't worry. Having had lots of experience with midget tossing, I'm sure they know what they're doing.

Did the contract specify the name of the venue?

"Currently South America's biggest problem and cause of chaos is the United States."

Nonsense.

This dude must be over 400 years old.

Oh wait, wrong Tupac.

I thought it stood for either Orange County or Old Cocaine User.

I knew a couple of Kyrgyz ladies when I lived in China. Very nice people.

#1- looks like a pyramid scheme

*whoosh*

"B-b-but"

Are you in your electro-shock therapy session while posting this?

If you guys had any idea how badly the situation in Venezuela has been destabilizing to both North and South America, you'd understand why this is needed. The "global south" (led by Russia and China, LOL) have been weaponizing mass migration against "the West" to destabilize it for a while now.

Of course, I understand why many may be cynical about the implementation of these measures, including their effectiveness and whether they'll be misused or abused for other purposes.

He's still effective at trolling, I'll give him that.

We should round up all the stupid people and eliminate them. That will help solve the problems, eh?

Lobotomies were once hyped as so beneficial that they won a Nobel prize.

"Next Christmas Santa will remove the liberals."

I thought you were pro-Trump, but now you're advocating for his removal?
