#1 I disagree. Pissing off Europeans is always on the table. They have made a hobby of pissing us off for the past few decades and it is high time they got a taste of their own medicine. Oh, they don't like it? Tough shit.

If they want to keep all the virus tests for themselves, great! It will demonstrate once and for all that their rhetoric of caring for others before themselves is false.

#3 What does "Giving them 'Prior Notice' " mean? Asking them "Mother, may I?" and negotiating for 1, 2, 3 weeks, a month or longer?

#5 At Rantburg, der German conservative
Must immer be fully affirmative
And never come clucking
Or cucking or shucking
"Mein fine European Preservative!"

#7 How's those work around arrangements with Iran to avoid the American sanctions doing? Asking for a friend.

#8 BTW, to our Europhiles, get your leadership to watch the Godfather. Don grew up in that environment in NYC.

#11 Sometimes a slap to the face is needed to make someone pay attention. Trump did leave a UK back door on his travel ban for now (and most Euros should know how to travel to the UK before going to north america by now), so it's not like the iron curtain or anything.

#12 Chris Murphy never gave us prior notice about meeting with Iranian leader.

#14 This is just politics as usual. Nothing Trump does, no matter how logical or effective, will be correct as far as Democrats are concerned. They're all waiting in the wings, hoping that Trump will fail and bitching about every little thing he does, pushing to include federal funding for abortion into coronavirus funding. She'd murder more babies with that than coronavirus funding will save and just wait until he vetoes it! Is there any low to which they will not stoop?

#16 A spritzer, a bottle, a barrel!
You're not, Mr. Murcek, in peril,
For -- Berlin or Turin --
Yer furriner's urine
Is always (ideally!) sterile.

"But what about his--?" Yes, all of those too, naturally. What are you, xenophobic or nationalist or something? FWIW, I hope EC continues to post here. Just takin' the piss (or not).
