After Trump's G-7 Fiasco, Be Afraid

[skews13]

Trump’s Republican enablers, who ridiculed liberal Democrats for coddling dictators and ignoring allies (ah, the good old days when they groused, inaccurately, about the return of a Churchill bust!), should see what their groveling has wrought. They now back a president who does not put America or the West first.

A Manchurian candidate could not show greater fealty to Russia nor more diligence in helping Russia pursue its goals. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), who refuses to consider reclaiming Congress’s role in trade, will see the consequences that flow from his and his fellow Republicans’ neglect of their constitutional obligations.

Republicans have rejected their obligation to restrain an unfit executive and lessen the damage by reasserting Congress’s rightful power in areas such as trade. They are now Trump’s facilitators in his apparent desire to blow up the international world order — the world order America helped created and has always led. In that sense, McConnell, too, is helping, wittingly or not, to make Russia great again.

Last week, McConnell bragged that the past 16 months have been the best he’s ever seen for conservatism. Unless “conservativism” means the anti-liberal regimes in Europe and Russia, that evaluation is daft. Starting trade wars, coddling enemies, inflating the debt, tolerating widespread corruption and fanning despicable racial animus make for “success” in conservatives’ minds?

No wonder many former Republicans cannot abide the current GOP. These political outcasts have for decades been against every one of the things I just listed; the GOP now accepts and even celebrates every one of them. The question is not why former Republicans have left the party but what purpose the party serves beyond sustaining Trump.

The 80's called, they want their foreign policy back...

Democrats must be getting worried that Russians are less damaging to the country than they are.

When you spoke to them, did they tell you that Russia still has missiles pointed at your family and that Reagan took them on…instead of kissing their ass like your messiah is now doing?

Tell them I said hi.

So I have to ask--------->according to the piece, Trump offered unfettered access to the American market to the allys, as long as it was reciprocated. Are you and the writer of this piece suggesting that WE as AMERICANS have to continue to take an economic bath so as THEY can protect their markets? Is not the essence of free trade, fair trade?

McConnell means social conservatism. Most of the tRumpkins mean the same thing. The world can just go to hell as long as every Tom, Dick, and Harry is armed and protected from having to bake a cake for gay people.

Not too worried about it.

When Trump stands next to most world leaders, it reminds everyone how small he is. That the current administration cannot tell us who are friends are or who are enemies are just speaks to America’s diminished capacity for world leadership.

Our Leftist friends are the ones stirring up racial animus, not the President and certainly not Mr. McConnell.

McConnell is actually married to a woman of color for goodness sakes, and our President is hitched to an immigrant broad from eastern Europe- just like my grandfathers were and Eddie Albert was on Green Acres.

Our lib friends want to stir up race every step of the way, even during the cancelled NFL Summit at the WH last week that the NFL stupidly forced the President to cancel.

 

[BluesLegend]

I'm still waiting for the left to explain why our priority should not be American jobs and American businesses? Why do they side with other countries against the U.S.?

Again we see the need for a "sad and agree" button.

I am a 10 year Navy veteran, I am a hard working tax payer....but I would rather sell apples on a street corner than see our allies consistently kiss this bitches ass and get nothing for it...I hope they abandon this country and leave us to the demise of Trump and his supporters. This country doesn't deserve anything anymore, its just disgusting.

Trump is playing the long game and the left are already in a panic and ready to cut & run with their tail between their legs.
I still am willing to remain cautiously optimistic and ride it out to see if the long game pays off. Panicking at the first sign of difficulty is a sign of weakness.
