ā€œWhat we don’t do traditionally as loving allies and friends, what we don’t do traditionally, is get involved in each other’s election campaigns,ā€ he told LBC Radio. ā€œThe best (thing) when you have close friends and allies like the U.S. and the UK is for neither side to get involved in each other’s election.ā€

You know you are in trouble when your so-called allies don’t want you around. One more brick in the wall for ole Trumpie. ETTD.

Just out of curiosity, is ā€œJohnsonā€ a euphemism for penis in Britain?

Close. The phrase ā€œJohn Thomasā€ has been used in the past. Not sure of derivation, but I don’t think it’s used very much anymore.

C’mon, Trump, embrace Boris as hard as possible during your visit!

I woke feeling positive about the systematic take down of Trump, and by extension the GOP, by whatever powers that be (deep state? shut your mouth!) When you look at the overall picture, Trump is desperately unhinged, frantically racing around trying to plug the dyke.

That’s the NATO conference in London next week, is it not? I’m thinking we’re going to see some ā€œFranco-Prussianā€ negative energy directed toward the Trumpster. He’s certain to announce the cutting of US funding. Perhaps the Euros should just toss him out before he can pull the US out entirely. More popcorn sales.

Good Lord, no. Can’t imagine something that would be more favorable to Putin than tearing apart NATO.

The problem is the sabotaging from within. At some point this ceases to be inside pissing out when, while pissing out, he’s shitting inside the tent. The Euros are well aware that Trump maybe gone in a year, but they are also aware that our ā€œpeculiarā€ system could easily produce another Trump-like creature. Macron is talking about a European defense network since as Merkel says, the US has become an unreliable partner. Of a possible future without us they must think.

But they’re in no place militarily either now or in the coming years to mount a credible defence of EU turf without us. Make no mistake, that fighting in Ukraine ground to a halt and that the Baltics and Poland didn’t have their own green men episodes was due to the swift response of the US to move into place and in force, even though it was only a few token thousand, that was enough to deter russia from further direct military intervention.

If we pull out, he’d fairly easily sweep them away. True, he wouldn’t go for Germany (old natural allies, anyways, despite the occasional family spat) or France, but he’d definitely hit the baltics, the balkans and Poland.
