“”basically organized crime””

Which brings up a great question - whatever happened to law enforcement going after organized crime? Does the Mafia no longer exist - no drug kingpins (or other kind) in the US to prosecute; no John Gottis’ exist anymore? AMAZING! I didn’t know we had such a crime free nation EXCEPT I guess now, crimes are all being conducted by foreigners/illegals and we don’t prosecute those? When was the last time we had a headline reporting the prosecuting of REAL CRIMES?

Missing the point. There’s a million posts and threads on FR. People don’t have time to drill down into every posted article. If FReepers would post info from a reliable source, we wouldn’t be wasting our time talking about this right now.

“Nato needs to be repurposed to the greatest threat to western man since Hitler.
Hitler’s partners, the world of islam.”

How does that work ?

Within a very few years, most of these “NATO” countries in western europe will likely be run by moslem dictators, which the USA (and Canada, for what little we contribute) will be supporting against Putinist Russia.

Turkey is not an outlier - it is NATO’s future.

NATO nations put troops in Afghanistan.

“Let’s see: no wall, no tax cuts, carbon credits suddenly look good, NAFTA looks OK, Michelle’s school lunches and victory garden stay, on and on”

Really? After 83 days?

And the doom & gloomers thrash about madly as they continue their failing divide & conquer plan for the 32,927th time since Candidate Trump stomped their globalist buddies.

Rumor has it they will start their own #NeverTrump version of Jonestown as soon as Glenn Beck settles his affairs.

Darn, you could’ve voted for Hillary. Next time, right?

He's not through his first 90 days and the GOP Congress continues to slow-walk his nominees and proposals.

What is up your ass?

“Trump’s comments during the presidential campaign that NATO was an obsolete organization made a lot of sense to me”

People must not pay attention. Trump did criticize NATO during the election, but he also, at the same time, offered avenues that NATO could take that would make it more legitimate, as in fighting terrorism.

That can apply to Trump's words today, too. 😊

said, "NATO nations put troops in Afghanistan"

Yes, they did. Without an over all plan to deal with Islam.
Which means it was a pointless loss of life.

Let’s see: Israel still exists.

Well, I guess Trump did one right thing, huh? If only Israel was nuked and we had Michelle’s school lunches removed, you’d be happy?

It’s only five minutes ... and well worth listening to...without media spin.

Why do you think so many people believe fake news? Because they don’t take the time. Any news source can be wrong. Get your own facts.

So according to you it doesn’t matter whether a FReeper posts the same story from ABC - presumptively a lie - or Breitbart which is a reliable source.

That’s stupid.

No, it’s not stupid. That’s the point. I don’t care who says it, I check it. To accept Breitbart as blindly as liberals do MSNBC is being just as stupid as they are.

No, you miss the point. It’s not about blindly accepting anything. But is is an effort to present the news from a reasonably reliable source as opposed to presenting the news from a known chronic liar and known Leftist operative during and after the 2016 election. Choosing the latter in this forum is stupid and counterproductive..
