Germany and China to join forces and take on the role traditionally filled by the United States, now that there is a lunatic in charge of that country.

It's up to us now.

The U.S. traditionally takes point in the search for common approaches to the big global issues of the day at G-20 summits. Not this time. 

When world leaders meet in Hamburg on Friday, China and Germany will move in to usurp the U.S.’s role.

The two industrial powerhouses of Asia and Europe are being nudged into an informal alliance to pick up the leadership baton that the U.S. is accused of having dropped since President Donald Trump’s inauguration earlier this year, according to diplomats and officials from several Group of 20 members. 

The situation has crystallized ahead of this year’s annual G-20 meeting, which will be held in Germany’s busiest commercial port. That’s in part because, for the first time since the group’s founding, the U.S. will be represented by a president who embraces protectionism, abandoning decades of American cheer-leading for free trade.

Boy color me confused.

What part of Make America Great Again is played by having German and China usurp America's role as the leader of the free world?

And while this is going on Trump will be backstage playing footsies with Putin and getting instructions on how best to damage America next.

    The idea of 'America first' does not work in a global economy. Technology, trade and specialization have created an era where a large, first-world country simply cannot exist without significant cooperative and mutually beneficial interaction with the rest of the world.

    Of course, this administration, with the enthusiastic help of the Republican party, is trying valiantly to turn the United States into a third-world country, so maybe international interaction won't be so important for our future. Since we're going to be forced back into a self-sufficient agrarian economy where the little woman stays home, cooks and pumps out babies, and we all die early because of the lack of access to health care and the elimination of Social Security, modern technology will become a thing of the past, except for the elite of the 1%.

    1. @ 9:13 It's what the 1% are banking on. Getting rid of surplus population 'cause they know there aren't enough resources to support everybody.

    Indiana GOP request for ObamaCare ‘horror stories’ goes wrong
    © Screenshot

    The Indiana Republican Party has requested that the state's constituents share their "horror stories" with ObamaCare, the Indianapolis Star reported Tuesday.

    "What's your Obamacare horror story? Let us know," the GOP party wrote in a Facebook post as it sought to collect negative stories about the Affordable Care Act, such as higher premiums or insurance companies leaving the market.

    Many of the people respondents, however, flooded them with stories about how the healthcare law has positively affected their lives.

    Wait a second!

    Because of TRUMP, America's two war opponents from the past who killed American soldiers and took our soldiers as POWs has now joined forces to take over our role in the world?

    Not only that, our NATO Allies most likely will not join our causes and fights against other countries because of TRUMP.

    Not only that, our new Allied partner and best buds are the same guys who cyber attacked us and is our arch enemies!

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Tell me, what do we need Trump for?

    All he does is go to campaign rallies to stroke his ego even though he already won the presidency thanks to Putin, he goes golfing, cost tax payers almost $250,000,000 paying for his golf trips, paying for his immigrant wife and anchor son to live in their golden New York tower for 1/2 a year.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    WHAT THE CLUCK DO WE NEED TRUMP, HIS IMMIGRANT WIFE, HIS SON WHO WANTED TO ESTABLISH BACK CHANNELS WITH RUSSIA, HIS OTHER NAZI LOOKING SON AND HIS LAP DANCING DAUGHTER FOR?

    INCORRECT

    President Trump's quick access system to supply documents to Putin through back channels is called Donald Trump Jr.

    Polish Rent-a-Crowds Ready to Cheer Trump in Warsaw—Especially if He Attacks the E.U.
    The populism Team Trump once hoped would destroy the European Union has been defeated in the West. But it remains strong, in power, and increasingly authoritarian in the East.

    This happened on November 10th. Nothing new. The moment that the US Idiocracy elected this moron we lost our standing in the world.

    Now, we should still nuke the crap out of North Korea to teach both them and China a lesson in who is militarily boss in this world but it really won't change anything except to neuter Kim Jong Un and tell China that there are somethings we don't fuck around with.

    Still China, please keep making our cheap iPhones, because really I don't want to pay more than $800 for the iPhone8.

    Also too, I guess keep making all your cheap crap that people buy at Target and WalMart because even poor people deserve decent linens.
