President Biden expressed the US’s ‘ironclad commitment to NATO’

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would direct President Biden to withdraw the U.S. from NATO. She argues that European countries are not reliable partners and are not paying their fair share of NATO obligations, while the U.S. pays around 4% of its GDP to defend NATO countries. Greene claims that European countries could and should pay more to ensure NATO security instead of relying on U.S. taxpayers. She introduced the amendment on the same day that President Biden expressed the U.S.'s “ironclad commitment” to NATO at a NATO summit in Lithuania, where NATO leaders also declared that Ukraine’s future is in NATO

    Remember when the dumbest ones were Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann?

    To be honest, I couldn’t remember Bachmann’s name so I just Googled “tea party congresswoman idiot” and it was the first hit…

      Oh, God, I’d almost forgotten that name. In those days one of my employees came to work on Halloween dressed as a “Tea party crackpot.” His clothes made to look like made out of china with a big crack down from the neck, then big fake tea bags all over and each had a nut job quote from tea party members. I think about a third of them were Bachmann’s. Things like ''I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back" and ‘‘Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn’t even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.’’
