"We want the Americans to be clear, 'What is your agenda,'" German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen told German broadcaster NTV. "The most important thing ... is reliability."

You mean like the reliability of you people NOT paying your agreed upon share since the inception of NATO? What a freaking hypocrite.

I hope he dumps the whole lot of you freeloading bastards or, at the very least, withholds ALL further funding from the US until it balances out. We'll start adding our 2% again in about 50 years.

Edit To Add: Isn't Germany the reason NATO was formed in the 1st place?

The Republicans have had a plan longer than Obama but, it's a Republican plan therefor it could never get approved by a Dem POTUS who had made it his 1 goal to pass a Dem plan. And pass it he did. People are now paying a higher cost for the treatment to their throats of having his crap rammed down them.

Anybody else remember Trump's plan to ban lobbyists? 

And now we've got that lame duck doing everything in his majorly reduced power in his last 2 weeks to throw up blockades for President Trump while smiling at the camera, lying to the American people and promising a "smooth transition of power".

a couple of liters of diesel and a few matches, wait about 2 hrs and call the fire department. They'll come and clear out all the weeds around your wall for free and charge the owner. Problem solved.

A Hawkish Government Does not bid well for peace and stability nor for Trade and Growth. I fear America you have chosen a dark and rocky road and you have no shoes

A dark and rocky road beats the hell out of a downhill plummet, but President Trump is the light at the end of the road. Too many presidents with little or no business sense have been screwing the American people in favor of a few friends that have been and are being counted on to maintain the lifestyles of the rich and famous as many it seemed were content with winning the title and started making plans for their retirements and speaking tours to follow.

I'm really liking the idea that he's hiring some of the same people that were paying those large speaking sums as I'll bet dollars to donuts that many of the speakers included a section on "Where I Went Wrong" in their speeches.

Bombing and killing civilians isn't the way to end this.  It will only make the population hate Assad even more and not be willing to try and reach a compromise.

and who gives a shit. Have you seen their country? Name 3 things they export that the world can't live without.

America hasn't "Gone To War" since saving Europe in WWII. Ever since then it's been meddling where it shouldn't. Truman took us to Korea and Eisenhower got us out. Kennedy dealt with the Bay of Pigs without firing a single shot. Johnson took us into Vietnam and Nixon got us out.

Ford and Carter opened up the drug routes with the "Why can't we all just get along" style thinking. Reagan, while trying to finally make peace with Russia sent coverts in to blow the hell out the drug cartels.

Then it was the Bush, Clinton, Bush sandwich that tore ALL focus away from home security and drugs and tried to create their own version of the world in every country they could.

Then we have now survived the Obamanation of all respect any of the rest of the world had for us ending with his "Kiss Ass Apology" tour.

Hoping now that Trump is taking the reins there will be no more meddling, no more antiquated thinking, no more pull down America's pants for any and everybody that cries.

Yea, Obama and Clinton and company sure did create and leave a mess. At least Russia is trying to put some kind of an end to it. Everybody can't win all the time and it's just stupid to keep funding both sides. You'd think people would learn this by now.

Maybe if Iraq, Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon and Israel would close off their borders and issue no fly zones backed by Russia and the US, the interior of Syria would eventually just collapse in on itself and choke off the entire war.

Russia already has a foothold so if they were to create and control a safe zone along the coast, strip search everybody that wanted to enter and NOT be a part of the fighting, eventually Syria would run out of people from both sides.

Aw well, guess I'll never quit dreaming of a world that works.

you're looking for this book: http://www.asiabooks.com/thai-for-lovers-crb-a-complete-guide-to-the-romantic-culture-of-thailand-139507.html

There's another 1 called "No Money, No Honey" but I believe the 1st 1 is the book you're referring to.

Presuming your kid is Thai (50%?) have your wife download the latest GAT and O-NET practice tests for P6/M1. If he/she can get through those there shouldn't be a problem getting accepted most anywhere.

Steve Mnuchin?  And other hedge fund billionaires? And how about the billionaire children of billionaires?  They became rich by doing what exactly?

selective quoting is the #1 response by people with no response.  hedge fund billionaires owned the company which gives jobs to people who do business to help other businesses that give jobs to people.  billionaire children with any savvy what-so-ever create more businesses that give jobs to people.

Oh, for the love of God people. Get over it! You lost fair and square! Your side sent a Plow Horse to the Kentucky Derby.

Not 1 law has been passed, not 1 deal has been made, not 1 policy has been enacted yet the Hilliphiles are heating the tar and collecting the feathers. You should use them on the Democratic party.

President Trump is gearing up to run America as the largest corporation in the world with a security force that doesn't take crap from anybody.

No billionaire EVER became rich without creating millions of jobs. Those jobs will be in the U.S. where they belong so it stands to reason that Americans will be employed.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS should be worried that the free gravy train has left the station. Activist Groups in other countries SHOULD be worried that they can no longer get PAID with American tax dollars for whining about other countries.

The EU should pull their heads out of their collective butts and do something about the terrorists they keep letting into Europe AND funding with free everything. The U.S. is NOT going to fix it for you anymore.

The days of "Commies" and "Better Dead Than Red" are as long gone as most of your great grandparents that started that movement.

IF the Intelligence Community was as intelligent as they claim to be, they would be putting out feelers for young, smart, tech-savvy "Blackhat" and "Whitehat" hackers offering them free rein to hack any country they want except America (unless it's to close security holes) and provide them with $1 million a year salary and the best equipment available in the world.

There's a political joke going around that rings pretty true: "Why is it that those people telling me that Trump will be a bad president are the same people who told me that Obama would be a good one"

If what you're saying about Trump's body language is true, then he must be a terrible negotiator to be giving away his true feelings so easily. In fact, whenever you see evaluations like the one you just posted, it says a lot about you, and nothing at all about the facts of the case.

So, you didn't even bother to read past my opening observation/opinion to make your "Clintonesque" post.

And you still wonder why the Dems lost everything.

For all you Trump Bashers relying on the W.Post tabliod for your opinion, sit back and take an honest, open-minded read of this well written, unbiased article: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/12/12/opinions/trump-view-putin-stanley/index.html?iid=ob_article_organicsidebar_expansion

The guy's a putz and needs to just go away and play golf or start his family vacation in Hawaii, like he EVER really cared about America.

Personally, I like what he's doing so far. Seeing him sitting in the same office with Obama makes me laugh. His body language says; "Geez I wish Jan. 20th would get here so I don't have to listen to you and your whining, soon-to-be jobless staff of incompetents and can get on with turning America around finally.".

And what in the heck does this quote; " But his tenure also saw Texas enact some of the stiffest anti-abortion laws in the country. " have to do with him running the department of energy??

This is the only thing needed to be known; " Trump praised Perry for creating millions of jobs and lowering energy prices from 2000 to 2015 as governor of Texas, which is a major oil, gas and wind power producer. "

After all, isn't that what the head of the department of energy is SUPPOSED to do?

Places like California could sure benefit from building a couple of desalinization plants along it's coast instead of crying about water shortages every year. They could even paint the pipes green with flowers to make the hippies happy.

There are SO many ways things could be improved in America. It's about time we have a president who's trying to put together a team that will actually do them.

If Clinton had won, all we'd be reading about would be her; "I am woman, hear me roar" world history tour.

OK, and back on topic - Trump stated from the beginning he thought it was stupid to spend time and resources building any other country except America.

Pulling resources from the rebels would eliminate some of said waste in spending.

Why are so many of you so narrowly focused and obsessed with the fact that your dems lost and Trump won?

I'll guarantee you that the ONLY tidbit that interested Trump about the whole meeting was:

"Today, we presented the President-elect and his advisors with a framework — which LDF developed in consultation with leading voices in the fields of economics and environmentalism — that details how to unleash a major economic revival across the United States that is centered on investments in sustainable infrastructure," Tamminen said. "Our conversation focused on how to create millions of secure, American jobs in the construction and operation of commercial and residential clean, renewable energy generation."

Do you REALLY think he cares Where the jobs for Americans come from? Of course he has his own team looking over the data to see if it can be implemented and he can take credit for it for the 2020 re-election campaign. :)

Trump has a plan - Too bad it hasn't sunk in to the "sore loser" brigade yet. He kept the MSM spinning in circles for well over a year just running for office. I'll guarantee you that part of his plan is to NOT tell the MSM what he's up to or going to do.

I'll paraphrase for those who have forgotten; "Telling the press anything in advance is stupid. It's much much better to come out say what we did AFTER we've done it and won..."

I smell Federal Napalm being readied for the Sanctuary cities and their oh so arrogant mayors. Best way to stop an illegal immigrant train isn't by disabling the caboose but by blowing up the locomotive.

You don't really think places like Mexico and the local mules are the masterminds do you? 

I'd LOVE to see him institute a bill making it illegal to collect welfare by any able bodied male or female between the ages of 17-35. Then, reinstate the draft and use the welfare recipient registry to "Help" them get registered.

OK, so now let's hear from the liberals about poor little Shinqua Brown who just turned 18 and is raising 5 babies on YOUR tax dollars because she can't keep her legs closed.

It seems you did not read the OP or you think they are going to Europe to break into his residence.

I believe I read it just fine - And I quote: " Something really odd happened few minutes ago while i was waiting for Thai food at a local street food restaurant here in the business district of Asok Montri Rd."

Followed by: " I told them i live here and have valid a workpermit (not with me at the restaurant however) and answered questions like: where do i live, where do i work, how long have i lived here and they took some photos of my drivers license and then left. "

Except for the part about the drivers licence, I don't believe Europe was mentioned.

You should have taken THEIR picture and posted it here. Since they now know your address and how far away from home you eat, if your stuff comes up missing in the future you'd have a photo to show police for a possible lead. I have encountered a ME looking male that speaks ok English and is some kind of con artist/busybody that I don't give the time of day to.

And as his plane took off, there was a sigh of relief heard for miles that they no longer worked for a pantywaist.

Trump is most definitely NOT going to follow the lead of Obama. His legal team is already gathering all the information on what he can do without congress and what he needs congress for.

He has appointed someone to head up the pentagon that also thinks it's incredibly stupid to call the media and the enemy and give them all the details of an upcoming military action.

Now, if those dingbats in charge of europe grow some balls and close the doors to ME immigrants, ISIS could be choked off inside of a year.

I'm going to claim oldtimer's disease

I thought the Interpol was a Norton and those sound like 1/8 mile times

I stand corrected on the bike - it was a Norton Commando but the times are 1/4 mile. If you may (or may not) recall, the 69 Mustang Cobra Jet came off the showroom floor pulling 6.8/6.9 in the 1/4 mile.

The bike was a miracle find.  friend of mine bought an old house in Las Vegas that had sat empty due to bank foreclosure for nearly 10 years. When we went over to help him clean up the 6' high, overgrown lawn I found the bike in 4 boxes and a 1,000 pieces. He gave it to me for helping. I had a couple of other friends that owned a Chopper Shop in town do the (re)build. That's when we discovered the interpol wiring harness and decal kit. The hardest part to getting it running was the twin, single barrel carbs.

It was a big hit at the Sturgis '91 bike rally.
