My (now deceased) MIL was French. She later became an American citizen. Hubby is fluent in French. He speaks to relatives, in French, on speaker phone, all the time. We are heading back to France later this year to visit his family. Where I can listen to more French being spoken. ?

I took four years of French in high school and a semester in College, but the only French I really remember is 2 1
Deranged Rhino Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 If Russia is abandoning the Mullahs.... tick-tock. (Though I'll say I've heard guys who work in missile defense tell me that the S-400s are trash against US tech and the Russians know it. They've speculated this rejection was more about Russia being worried that a US strike is imminent and they don't want the world to see just how ***** their "great technology" actually is. ) 2 1

Backing Iran in some fashion (even behind-the-scenes) is a perfect way for Putin to continue his childish policy of 'stick-it-to-America', like we see in his Venezuelan interference. 2

Wait a minute, now wait just a damn minute! I have been told over and over and over again for more than two years the Putin and Trump are BFFs. Why in the world would Putin want to "stick it to America" and hurt his bestie? {head scratch} 1

This was set up at the Trump Tower meeting in 2016, when they conspired to collude about obstructing justice. Don't let the smoke screen like increasing sanctions on Russia fool you. Trump is still doing Putin's bidding, because of facebook memes or something. 1 1

Buffalo_Gal Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Tariffs will go to 25% in October (could go) if Mexico doesn't stop the illegals. Carrot-stick. This is aimed at Congress as much as Mexico, IMO. The Dems have no intention of ratifying USMCA and giving Trump a "win"(regardless of Nancy's "yes path" statement). Maybe now they will, simply to #GetTrump (that'll show him!) BTW, doesn't international law state that "asylum seekers" go to the first country they enter? So Mexico should be keeping those peeps from Central America instead of allowing them to cross illegally at the US border. Edited May 31, 2019 by Buffalo_Gal 1

She said “oh sure. Just planning the weekend with my mom.” ?

Trying to inflict economic pain on Mexico won't have the intended effect he thinks it will, because AMLO isn't a big friend of Mexican business owners in the first place. Trump could end up helping AMLO's to renationalize industry. The best part of course is, as Mexican industry suffers, the greater the incentive to climb the northern wall. Idiot is as idiot does.
