This was what Nigel farage was talking about on Fox and Friends this morning: the EU must ALSO be dismantled.

America should invade Europe and turn them into new States.

Not because were ‘nasty’ but because we want to save them from 100 years of dull machetes.

They’re going to fall to Islam anyway, why not take them for ourselves now.

semi-satire

Britain and France finally remembered they beat Germany twice, and therefore don’t have to listen to them.

The more you find out about the EU, the more it becomes evident that they think they own things they do not.

The next elections in France are in April-May, and this tide is heading for them. In the last elections, they has to use a trick to keep Le Pen's party from gaining the majority in Parliament. The socialists dropped all their candidates in the runoff elections, and voted en masse for the less socialist, but still left wing party, thus giving them the majority. If Le Pen keeps coming on strong, she will win big next time.

Moldova just elected Igor Dodon as its President.

There is widespread rejection in Europe of the EuSSR.

Trump is the least of their problems.

Hopefully they also remembered that it did not just happen; they had some help with that.
