Anne-Marie Slaughter has an ironic personal name, does she not. Stir up hatred to fever pitch has always been the way of the left.

[Reverend Wright]

Isn’t it amazing how much hostility is unleashed when the USA ends subsidized defence and one-sided trade deals for these parasitic “Allies”.

MYOB Aussie beotch

US President Donald Trump has shown a callous disregard for the checks and balances that have long protected American democracy been twisted to protect the elites and stifle the success of the people.

[Olog-hai]

Also reveals how many countries have been infected by the poison of Marxism.

[dadgum]

Another know-nothing moron.

[cicero2k]

“Keep in check” is code for “Keep on plundering”

[glorgau]

This is what happens when the over educated lose their lucrative positions “managing” USAID funded NGOs.

[Brian Griffin]

The US trade deficit must be reduced.

American cities must be reinvigorated.

Foreigners can’t take over the jobs Americans need.

There was four years under Biden to fix the problems.

Now it’s Trump’s turn at bat.

[FLT-bird]

Hilarious pile of BS. It is his opponents who have blown past all checks, balances, historical norms, etc.

First counterintelligence operation against a presidential campaign in American history.

Impeached for a phone call in which there were transcripts based on the word of someone who heard about the phone call second hand.

Impeached when no longer in office again based on laughable charges.

Quite open lawfare against a major candidate for the first time in American history.

Efforts to keep him off the ballot in multiple states for the first time in American history.

More district court issued nationwide injunctions than any president in American history and that's just in his first 2 months in office.

And she wants to claim HE's the one violating the norms and the checks and balances? What a joke.

[FLT-bird]

I should add.....honey, when you run a massive trade surplus, you are going to lose any game of chicken you try to play. Say both of you raise your tariffs to the stratosphere. Who loses more? The one who is running the massive surplus is going to lose more. Duh. That’s you.

[Political Junkie Too]

The "world" is keeping Trump in check by banning popular right-wing candidates who would be sympathetic to Trump from running in their own national elections.

[jacknhoo]

Poor thing doesn’t understand — this is so much bigger than President Trump. This is a revolution, much like the Revolutionary War for this nation.

But, that’s what dubious people who do understand are so afraid of.

[webheart]

Checks and Balances equals USAID payments.

[Mashood]

The world wants their mordida.

[Olog-hai]

The author. Head of a leftist think tank called New America; also penned books such as A New World Order and Unfinished Business.

[Paladin2]

She continues to misspell “Idiocracy”.

[pierrem15]

The tariff recommendation is simply nonsense: the US runs huge trade deficits with nearly everyone.

Foreign companies that want a share of the US market have an easy out: invest in the US and produce here.

[ConservativeMind]

Excellent rundown of the absurdities against Trump.

ROFL, as a member of the Commonwealth, I can say we are the last ones to lecture on freedom. Our Prime Minister’s have untold of power compared to POTUS. And our checks on their power is very limited. Our FBI, the RCMP operates with pretty much no checks whatsoever, and engages in gun grabbing operations.
