Trump is right to reconsider NATO. Under Article II, the president has full constitutional authority to withdraw from any treaty without Senate approval. The 2023 Kaine-Rubio provision can't override the Constitution. It's his call to make.
The Constitution says nothing about how to exit treaties, so that power remains with the president. The Founders designed it this way deliberately: hard to get in, easy to get out when an alliance no longer serves America's interests.
Trump is forcing the conversation Washington refuses to have: do our alliances benefit America, or just trap us indefinitely? Alliances should serve our interests, not the other way around. Fair burden-sharing isn't isolationism. It's sanity.

Yes people need to believe in the future and have babies, that is no excuse for the immigration debacle though. We can have our “pick of the liter” so to speak and chose only the best into our country. But no the disgusting elites wanted slaves, so they brought in the worst of humanity, criminals and many others barely capable of independent thought, all designed to be a servant class.
some federal judge no doubt will try to stop him
Russia has a large Muslim population. Putin treats them well, so long as they behave.
Putin has also been weaponizing Muslim migrants, transporting them to the Polish border, trying to send them into the West.
The key part of your post was “as long as they behave” which supports my point.
No, Grok "determined" no such thing.
I read Uncle Miltie's Grok post. Grok said it was possible that such a person was not real. But Grok was not conclusive about it.
Anyway, if, like Uncle Miltie, you think Grok is so perfect:
Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot praises Adolf Hitler on X.
Grok praises Hitler, gives credit to Musk for removing “woke filters” .
Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, started calling itself 'MechaHitler'.
I did not say I agreed with what they did. I am just stating that is what happened and one of the reasons WHY it did.
The people that made those decisions to let so many serfs did it to depress wages too. With a decrease in young people it drives up the wages of the meanial jobs. The people doing labor intensive occupations. Like mowing your lawn or cleaning the toilets.
Generally, our children do not want to do landscaping, roofing or even picking produce/fruit.
This is why we have guest worker programs. The problem is when those guest workers do not go back to the country they came from when the VISA is up.
The other major reason was the demographic shift out of high tax states into lower tax states. Eventually leading to loss of Congress Reps and Electoral Votes for CA, NY, IL, NJ. Then gains for FL, TX, ID, AZ, NC, SC. So, the Dems had to do something about it.
Which is also WHY states like MN don’t do anything about the immigrants stealing from Medicare. It is THEIR voters.
ALL of these issues were the result of FALLING BIRTH RATES.
Most do not want to work starting jobs, regardless of it needs to be “required” that is how they learn, importing others removes the work education process.
And yes, I know they did it to depress wages, here is a pro tip, allowing women to vote and encouraging them to go to work was also to depress wages.
Feminism was always about destroying the family unit and making more wage slaves.
“ I ask again, when was the last time you came
here and RandFan wasn’t actively posting?”
Exactly!
NATO is a joke. Trump has to fight with them to pay their fair share. I think it’s time for America to turn over the job as savior of the world to the rest of those clowns out there. I’m sure Red China, Iran or Afghanistan would proudly take over the reins to NATO.
True, and at least he is consistent.
Congress approves bill barring any president from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO
I wonder if Rubio regrets his vote now. Rand Paul voted against it. It was passed by a Roll Call vote.
H.R. 2670 (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 )
This is more like it
Grok isn’t perfect.
But Grok also concluded that his posting habits were not consistent with a team, etc. I posted data on that in the same thread.
Libertarians circling the wagons around a fake multiuser account RandFan bump.
LOL!
From https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4372778/posts?page=186#186
“Based on the posting history of user RandFan at freererpublic.com, is it possible that he is a composite character?
Grok’s answer:
“No, there is no credible evidence from RandFan’s publicly visible posting history on FreeRepublic.com (joined January 2, 2019) to suggest he is a “composite character” (i.e., multiple people, AI, or a team maintaining one account).”
I ask again, when was the last time you came
here and RandFan wasn’t actively posting?
You Liberal-terrorists stick together.
If Russia was in charge there would be a lot mor suicides involving windows and tall buildings.
LOL! Whatever!
