Joke’s On Him

EU top bureaucrat vows 1 to “Break up the US” in revenge for Trump backing the Brexit.

EUROPEAN Union boss Jean-Claude Juncker this afternoon issued a jaw-dropping threat to the United States, saying he could campaign to break up the country in revenge for Donald Trump’s supportive comments about Brexit.

In an extraordinary speech the EU Commission president said he would push for Ohio and Texas to split from the rest of America if the Republican president does not change his tune and become more supportive of the EU.

Please, Herr Juncker.  Take California, New York, and DC.

    He makes $350,000 a year and lives in a luxury hotel in Brussels, paid for by taxes on member states of the European Union. Brexit is a direct threat to his lifestyle. I’d be pissed, too.

    Possibly through an alcoholic haze:

    Juncker for 20 years led a country of ~ 600K people and has a lot of skeletons in his own closet. There have been calls within the EU for him to resign, the Brexit issue only the most recent of his problems. DMA mentions his alcoholism, and there are also money, and spy scandals in his past.

    I doubt he would really want to mess with US politics, he has to be joking (sober or drunk).

    It strikes me that California could join the EU, and then the French and Luxembourgers would discover why the heck “real America” would be so glad to be rid of them as they tried to ban foie gras throughout the EU, end the practice of naming wines and cheeses after their area of origin, and the like.

    And I bet I wasn’t the only one who thought of someone in St. Paul when the topic of an executive with a drinking problem came up.
