Re: Trump's NATO comments
Ask Dumb Dot what all of the creditors did when Trump's companies failed to meet their financial obligations to them? Oh, that's right, they filed lawsuits so that he had to file for Chapter 11 financial protection to keep them from closing down his company. Isn't that kind of what Trump is suggesting that we do to the NATO countries? I guess DOT is agreeing with Trump.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 8:35 pmAnd they agreed to meet the 2%.

Re: Trump's NATO comments
So you're just breezing past your idol being notorious for not paying his bills. There's a difference between a guideline for spending GDP and stiffing contractors for work already completed. Seems you're exactly the kind of rube and dupe he was speaking to in that crowd. Clap along, hack.
Animal wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 8:07 pm Since we are talking about Facts. Trump has NEVER one time filed for personal bankruptcy. He has, a total of 4 times, filed for business bankruptcies for various businesses that he owns. He has owned hundreds of businesses over the years. Only a die hard hack could call that "chronic".
You really have to get better at this. "Facts hacks choose to ignore: the blowhard doesn't pay his own bills and has filed for bankruptcy multiple times, rubes and hacks cheer along for a criminal buffoon chronically delinquent in his own payments." Chronic is tied to his notoriety for stiffing the people he hires to do jobs for his many ventures. Work on your reading comprehension, especially when trying to call someone else dumb. And no, Trump is not that complicated, he's simply playing to the sheep in the crowd and the ones like you and Cheez behind the keyboards that we should abandon our allies and let Putin invade and do whatever he wants to them if they don't "pay their bills." I don't know about you, but I'm not confident in the self-centered egomaniac who tried to blackmail a country's leadership into lying about the person who beat him in the last election determining who's worthy of NATO defense in case of Article 5 invocation. The self-centered egomaniac is also not going to broadcast the hypocrisy he has demonstrated when it comes to how he doesn't pay his own bills, something you have already acknowledged and now have to argue against. This is all about getting you idiots to clap along and vote for him despite it and him being a betrayal to this country and our allies.Animal wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 8:45 pm Ask Dumb Dot what all of the creditors did when Trump's companies failed to meet their financial obligations to them?

You're talking about ignoring things? Holy shit!
You mean like, among all of the other things you ignore and dodge, how Trump is right about those NATO members not honoring their commitment? Just admit it, bud. In your quest to zing Trump you actually confirmed his comments as accurate. Nice job kicking your own ass!

Regarding your inability to admit you were wrong and Trump was right, well that's factual and I simply feel NATO countries welching on their commitment to the tune of billions and billions and billions of dollars while US taxpayers subsidize their defense is a bigger story than a Trump business filing for bankruptcy. That's not "ignoring" its highlighting the bigger story. You, meanwhile, are the one that tried to defend the NATO welching because it's incredibly painful for you to admit Trump is right so you then tried to change the subject to something else. It's not my fault you couldn't keep to the subject at hand. How do you feel about the NATO welching by the way?

Wrong, I ignore deflections and distractions when disingenuous partisan hacks can't argue the subject and have to change it. Strange, you can't stop yourself from doing that. Whether it's the impeachment fiasco with no crime, the January 6 insurrection, and now the fact that your criminal buffoon idol is notorious for skipping out on his bills, one thing is certain out of all things. You won't address a single one of them. Hacks do hack things.

Re: Trump's NATO comments
Two things that I think everyone can agree on:
1. Some NATO countries have taken advantage of the protections of NATO membership without paying their agreed upon share of its cost.
2. There are MUCH MUCH better ways to make that point and get everyone in NATO to honor their original agreements than the method Trump is using. Which is actually just a way to fire up his base voters and has not much at all to do with funding NATO.

Well, take the Suez Canal for example. the US has war ships stationed there to combat the Houthi attacks on merchant ships. We are spending $million+ rockets to shoot down $thousand missles and drones fired by the Houthis. All to protect a canal used to ship goods.stonedmegman wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 7:28 pm They did make a commitment, but in all fairness it is the US that wants nukes there to protect their interests and "American" way of life.

Re: Trump's NATO comments
I pointed out the ridiculousness of a guy who doesn't pay his bills telling NATO to "pay their bills." I consistently did this. For you to ignore it is the confession masked as accusation. He quite believably made up the story to begin with, but by all means, buy into his propaganda. Donate to the Gofundme, buy his NFTs and trading cards. The guy needs money and marks to fleece of it. Hack does hack things.
