“General”, you broke faith with us.
Get your stupid backside off the stage, you had your time, so stop opening your yap.
IF THEY HADN’T LIED TO US AND TRIED TO SET UP A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT IN SECRET IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BENEFICIAL TO THEIR CAUSE.
The US constitution has 50 seperate states, all under one Federal government because it ONLY had certain enumerated powers, souch as national defense and interstate commerce, and States can otherwise do what they want. (At least that’s how it’s supposed to be)
Why not make a “United Countries of Earth” Constitution that works the same way. It has certain enumerated powers, such as Earth defense, and trade between countries, but otherwise leaves the countries alone.
Who’s this “we,” kemosabe?
The LAST thing we need is free trade between countries. I think you are insane. No world government of any kind, ever.
Na this is a “Looking for a new Job” sentiment
I thought the MSM told us that the idea of a one world order was a tin foil hat thing.
It could be he had been in deep with Hillary’s shadow state department after they did that romantic blackmail operation oh him. Trump is an interuption on their plans.
New Wierd Order.
Dave needs to stick with porking his mistress and spare us his pronouncements. Political general, not of the warrior class.
