There remain many questions why the Deutsche Bank (under investigation for massive Russian money laundering) continued to loan Trump billions while he kept defaulting on repayment, and no American bank would lend Trump a dime.
Keep asking, Wingnut. Maybe one day some fool will answer you.

1945-1989. It was called the Cold War.
Really? When was that one declared in Congress assembled? You seem to forget that every major war fought by the US has seen the Russian people as our allies, not enemies. And yes, even as Communists, they fought beside the United States in WWII. The more I consider it, the more I see this 'cold war' as more a farce than a threat.

Me too, even the Dead Sea Scrolls agree. But it has nothing to do with salvation so really isn't worth debating. We'll all find out soon who's right.
Never 'argue' religion. There's no real 'proof' either way. There's no way to win an argument you can't prove empirically, so why bother?
Like most things, they make sense if you know the larger context.

The only brave French guy I know of was named General Lafayette. Very helpful in our fight to gain freedom from the Brits.
Oh, there were others... Brigadier General Tuffin Charles Armand, marquis de la Rouerie and Lieutenant-Colonel Francois Louis Teissedre de Fleury come to mind. Modern day Frenchmen? Not so much.

Obama's mission was to soften America enough so that it could be assimilated into the borderless one government world planned by the international left. Obama was the titular head of the international left, and he implemented enough rules and business regulations to be partially successful, but he needed more time, but hilliar lost, and Trump is setting them back for years. The international left is furious.
And the fury is palpable. I think we have a lot to thank Donald Trump for, brash as he is...

Precisely! Now explain that to someone who can't 'see' it...
Derivatives. They have the biggest derivative position of any other bank in the world. Remember what Warren Buffett said "weapons of financial mass destruction". Yes, the system implosion is in motion, and yes, it is global.

The women's soccer team that won the World Cup today did not play for America. They played for themselves and now they are wanting more pay. I say they shouldn't get paid at all. They were supposed to be representing America and one of them wouldn't even recognize the National Anthem.
I'd call it a mixed bag. They most certainly played for themselves, it's what they do - professionally. Did they also play for America? Well, I know at least one who didn't, but the rest? I like to think so. I don't tar the whole team with the same brush so richly deserved by one player. She's a troll and the media made her their 'darling'. Good for her, what goes around comes around. I hope she enjoys her moment in the spotlight because I have a feeling it will be fleeting.
As for pay, those women play an outstanding game, every time, and deserve whatever they can garner from the system as a whole. But they do not 'own' the system, and their pay is determined by factors beyond anybody's control. There will be comparisons made with the men's World Cup, and that is not a good comparison. First and foremost, the men's championship is by far larger and more lucrative than the women's. They bring in bigger crowds, they make more money. Just that simple. Also, those women need a better union rep. Whoever is negotiating their pay and conditions is not doing a very good job in my opinion, just based on their results overall. Records were broken at this year's championship, and many of them by the US Women's National Team. They do deserve better.

It still is, and your silly meme means nothing to any reasonable person. Ergo, you are not reasonable, your brain (do you even
have one?) does not function as it was designed to. You are not mentally competent and should be sitting in a padded cell somewhere far, far away.

It's easy to see how popular Trump is in France
Ha! Yeah, all three of them, loaded with Dutch courage in a foreign country. I covered this yesterday:
https://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/t-160971-1.htmlThere were not "tens of thousands" chanting "F*** Trump", there were maybe three and not for very long, judging by the faces of those around them.
