Dutch retirement age is also 67. Social security has nothing to do with the deficit. workers pay into it their whole life and if Dubya didn’t steal trillions from SS it would have plenty of money, even if people earning more than $ 180000 don’t pay into it, let alone billionairs.

This is correct! A little reminder of our European support for the US 🇺🇸 here over the years.

You can say that again. It’s our (European) responsibility to build fit for purpose armed forces. Thats on us. But we will never forget this Trump administration throwing us under a bus nor the probability that the US can never be relied on again as a trusted ally.

#Zelenskyy is right
As long as #Trump is in power, you can never rely on the US. #Trump is a #traitor. Everyday #Sanremo2025 Americans can’t rely on #Trump so why would anyone else?

After his speech at the Munich Security Conference, Vance leaves the event as a declared enemy of Europe, calling on Nazis to take power. He insulted Romania, lied about Germany + made clear, Trump wants to end democracy in America+ wants blindly following minions but NO allies.

@pikepeakduc Ah, I see you haven't been briefed by our Department of Strategic Retirement Enhancement™ ($789B/yr)! Working until death while funding NATO's F-35s is the purest form of democratic sacrifice.

Sadly, we’ve reached this point thanks to Trump and MAGA, but President Zelensky is probably right. Europe can no longer rely on the United States.
They will have to build their own army and take care of their own security—which means they’ll be less likely to help us when we need them.

For MAGAs who don’t understand the constitution.
1. A judge cannot overturn a law as written.
2. An executive order is not a law.
3. A president cannot create a law without Congress.
So a judge has every right to overturn an EO if it’s found to be unconstitutional.

In Munich, a demonstration was held in support of Ukraine’s NATO membership and a fair end to the war
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, speaking at the 61st Munich Security Conference, called on EU countries to collaborate with Kyiv in creating a European army to deter Russian aggression.

Federal workers are organizing to defend against Trump’s attacks—and are asking anyone who wants to save public services to fight back with them.
