This is why there's growing European discussion of an extreme option to replace US commitments: a Euro nukes program

Merkel's comment didn't come out of nowhere. Germans have spent months contemplating – and preparing for – a break with the US.
One sr German official really stressed this: Our closest ally is not just going away, but may turn its power against us. Think about that.
Their fear wasn't just that Trump would be an unreliable ally, but that his attacks on the EU and NATO would make the US a threat to Europe.
The Germans really fear Europe will fall apart w/o the US. But they saw Trump as a potential threat to their most core national interests.
They were quite open about their plan: appease Trump and proceed normally. But quietly prepare a Plan B in case that fails. We may be there.
New NATO motto: Keep the Americans out, the Russians in, and the Germans up.
VP Pence looks straight into Fox TV camera on 1/15, puts on his sincere face, says "Of course not," when asked if any Trump/Russia contacts!
Someone rewrote their own wikipedia entry and admins haven't had time to change it back yet
Interesting that the USG IC, the Courts and FBI are "against them"????/
Trump and aides "are becoming increasingly convinced [they're] victims of a conspiracy against Trump's presidency"
http://www.politico.com/story/2017/0...238911#…
There's a reason that conspiracy theories have been referred to as "the last refuge of the dictator."
Is the President of the US in a serious state of "altered reality?????..
Just because the WH has submitted a thick glossy book on their proposed tax cuts.....that is all it is...."a proposed tax cut" as Congress have the power not the WH....
AND based on even Republican comments from both houses this tax cuts are going nowhere fast......
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
The massive TAX CUTS/REFORM that I have submitted is moving along in the process very well, actually ahead of schedule. Big benefits to all!
How is it possible that someone who is President simply does not know this simple fact...he must have missed the highschool civics and government class...
JUST IN: Trump campaign likely did not save documents key to Russia investigation: report
http://hill.cm/M0owXIL
WOW...now why would they do that????
Reminder: Over the years, Trump has destroyed thousands of documents & records in defiance of court orders.
http://www.newsweek.com/2016/11/11/d...-515120.html#…
SEEMS that the Trump WH simply does not function by the concept of "rule of law" as they knew what the federal law is on preserving documents....
BUT WAIT...was this not what they claimed Clinton was doing with her emails?????
MORE delusional Trump tweets...he does not even know what was passed as a Republican House Health Care bill...does he....
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
I suggest that we add more dollars to Healthcare and make it the best anywhere. ObamaCare is dead - the Republicans will do much better!
THIS statement in the face of MASSIVE cuts and a 20% increase in cost by 2020...and pre-existing conditions which he claimed will never be touched...touched they were and badly.....and 24M losing their health insurance.
REMEMBER this is the very same President that promised Americans the greatest health care possible with no cuts to anything....
REMEMBER the Trump Muslim Ban that was suppose to protect the motherland from jihadist attacks that Trump sworn were coming and the threat to the US was immigration especially from Muslim countries....
Think about this.....
To date, 602 people have been injured & 238 killed in mass shootings in 2017 - an average of 5-6 people every day.
https://www.massshootingtracker.org/data
Last time I checked there has not been a single American killed by a Muslim immigrant named in the seven Muslim banned countries in the last 40 odd years....
No US Attorneys, 177 Ambassador slots are waiting to be filled, over 500 key government agency positions still unfilled, with no end in sight.
And massive budget cuts to virtually all government agencies....
Proposed cuts to Veteran benefits...
AND virtually no one has been nominated...
Could a Trump supporter really please in a simple way explain how this makes America great again?
I can see if all the saved salaries would be paid out to increase the average worker salary but that has not happened.......as now some States want to cut the minimum wage....
After all the recent reports on alleged "back channel Russian WH contacts using Russian servers in the Russian Embassy" with Russians I wonder if he would say this again....

Trump’s Dumps: ‘Making Dumps Great Again’
https://krebsonsecurity.com/
Quote:
It’s not uncommon for crooks who peddle stolen credit cards to seize on iconic American figures of wealth and power in the digital advertisements for their shops that run incessantly on various cybercrime forums. Exhibit A: McDumpals, a hugely popular carding site that borrows the Ronald McDonald character from McDonald’s and caters to bulk buyers. Exhibit B: Uncle Sam’s dumps shop, which wants YOU! to buy American. Today, we’ll look at an up-and-coming stolen credit card shop called Trump’s-Dumps, which invokes the 45th president’s likeness and promises to make credit card fraud great again.
One reason thieves who sell stolen credit cards like to use popular American figures in their ads may be that a majority of their clients are people in the United States. Very often we’re talking about street gang members in the U.S. who use their purchased “dumps” — the data copied from the magnetic stripes of cards swiped through hacked point-of-sale systems — to make counterfeit copies of the cards. They then use the counterfeit cards in big-box stores to buy merchandise that they can easily resell for cash, such as gift cards, Apple devices and gaming systems.
When most of your clientele are street thugs based in the United States, it helps to leverage a brand strongly associated with America because you gain instant brand recognition with your customers. Also, a great many of these card shops are run by Russians and hosted at networks based in Russia, and the abuse of trademarks closely tied to the U.S. economy is a not-so-subtle “screw you” to American consumers.
In some cases, the guys running these card shops are openly hostile to the United States. Loyal readers will recall the stolen credit card shop “Rescator” — which was the main source of cards stolen in the Target, Home Depot and Sally Beauty breaches (among others) — was tied to a Ukrainian man who authored a nationalistic, pro-Russian blog which railed against the United States and called for the collapse of the American economy.
In deconstructing the 2014 breach at Sally Beauty, I interviewed a former Sally Beauty corporate network administrator who said the customer credit cards being stolen with the help of card-stealing malware installed on Sally Beauty point-of-sale devices that phoned home to a domain called “anti-us-proxy-war[dot]com.”
Trump’s Dumps currently advertises more than 133,000 stolen credit and debit card dumps for sale. The prices range from just under $10 worth of Bitcoin to more than $40 in Bitcoin, depending on which bank issued the card, the cardholder’s geographic location, and whether the cards are tied to premium, prepaid, business or executive accounts.
Are the two Generals Kelly and MCMaster now fully compromised....??
Kelly & McMaster claim Kushner/Russians story no big deal. Ex-DNI Clapper has a different perspective.
Maybe they have no actual CI experience....

My latest EXCLUSIVE ==> BREAKING: #NSA issues unprecedented "preservation order" to uncover evidence of Team Trump's collusion with Moscow.

Mike Rogers, "There is no question that we have evidence of election involvement and questionable contacts with the Russians.”
.@mollyesque spent her week talking to Republicans on the Hill. The quotes here are unbelievable:
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...28426/#…
Disappointing to see lawmakers are more concerned about Trump's negative impact on their own job than his negative impact on the country
Notice the tone of leadership towards Putin..distinctly missing with Obama and now Trump...
At press conf w/ #Putin, @EmmanuelMacron says use of chemical weapons in #Syria is a 'red line' that will trigger 'retaliation' by #France
The face you make when your hacking made an important friendly country into a hostile one.
Macron lays into Russian media "lies" during campaign. Next to Putin. Haven't seen him that angry since Le Pen debate
At press conference w/Putin, France Pres Macron says he raised cyberhacking, calls RT & Sputnik "agents of influence" that spread lies
Trump still believes it was 400 lb kid on a bed with a laptop and or the Chinese....
Putin on EU sanctions: I call on French media to fight against all trade barriers. Only with fair competition can world economy develop.
Translated..means get me out from out under the Crimea and eastern Ukraine sanctions please.....
Macron calls for "Normandy 4" to discuss war in Ukraine ASAP. What's new: OSCE is to provide report on what's happening on ground.
The Russian government, which has long sought to expel the United States from the continent, is overjoyed: On Russian television, Trump was said to have turned NATO into a “house of cards.”
Putin has three geopolitical strategic political war goals that he wants to achieve....
1. damage and discredit NATO
2. da´mage and discredit EU
3. completely disconnect US from Europe and ME
Trump has actually assisted Putin in achieving two of his geo political goals....
AND Trump claimed to be this great businessman who could run government????
