We've allowed our petroleum industry's influence on policy stymie alternative energy progress for decades. I believe it will take a generation or two to recover from being so shortsighted, whether probable or not. Will we ever see a push from the private sector to make this happen? America is becoming great right NOW and here you guys are talking about deficits and future energy sources. Did you see the size of that bomb we dropped in A-stan? Name a country with one bigger than ours. You can't, can you? And commanders in field can drop one whenever they want now. Take a moment to appreciate American's newfound greatness!

Flexibility is one thing, impulsiveness is another. I'm sure you've seen all the tweets Trump sent out warning Obama not to use force in Syria after Assad used chemical weapons in 2013. So what changed his mind in 2017? Flexibility? Or impulsiveness?

It's not a middle school playground, which is why you can't let other countries pick on the little kids, like its own citizens. There needs to be someone to control the playground, either a teacher or a kid who's just going to kick the shit out of any bullies. We do spend that much and it's sad that we have to police a lot of the world, but we have to do so for the safety of our own people and also because we can't just sit back and turn a blind-eye to atrocities that are being committed.

So you're saying that the kid in this video that knocks out the other kid that's picking on a blind kid is being a bully?! Give me a second........... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ok, I'm back. We've tried being peaceful, as I've said and you keep ignoring, but sometimes you need to be a hard-ass to protect yourself and your people. Do you want us to keep saying "Ok, Kim Jung-un, we know you haven't listened to anyone else in the world, including us, when we've tried to be peaceful and asked you to stop trying to develop nuclear weapons, but we're asking you VERY NICELY this time: PRETTY PLEASE WILL YOU STOP?"? Sometimes you have to show might and hit first. (04-16-2017, 02:04 PM)Belsnickel Wrote: America is not getting respect because of Trump, we're losing it. Trump is adapting his positions as-needed to fit the current problems. That's what great leaders do. How can you be against the Syria thing? We didn't risk any American lives and we just sent a message that Assad's actions won't be tolerated. For the MOAB thing, Trump won't say whether he directly authorized it, but, even if he didn't, he obviously authorized someone who knew what the best move was to make the call. He trusted his officials and staff. I guess the job creations and other improvements are just a coincidence? Even if it was happening under Obama, which I don't see, it still shows the confidence that the people and business world have in Trump to keep things going in a positive direction.

Well I mean.... is it really "bullying" when North Korea has made numerous threats towards the United States and has even went as far to create multiple videos of them attacking the US? I'm sorry, but if a nation has the nerve to be developing and testing nuclear weapons AND creating videos of them blowing up US cities they deserved to be "bullied".

Screw the bullying, just punch them in the nuts and move on to bigger issues, like "Making America Great Again!"

I am against military action for jnternal issues in sovereign nations, especially without congressional approval. And yeah, he trusts his officials so much he has placed loyalty watchdogs with some officials. For the last bit, you really ought to look at the actual numbers. When you look at the BLS data you can see that the economy has been improving steadily, and the job creation in recent months is co tinued momentum from previous economic growth with little to no impact from Trump.

The most ironic dynamic of this is: The ones that disagreed with his campaign promises are the ones making the most noise that he is altering them.

It's sort of like the guy who promises the girl all sorts of things if she has sex with him, reneges after she does, and she doesn't care because she knew he wasn't going to do it anyway.

It's really not an "or". It is simply more of the same dynamic and supports my assertion that the only ones holding him to his campaign promises are the ones that disagreed with them and somehow, someway, they are the ones angered by it. As for me. I have enough faith in our process of checks and balances; that I really don't care. I do get a kick out of watching folks losing their minds over it.

It is almost like some folks expected him to outright lie when they voted for him, as if they wanted to see how many false claims, half-truths and outright lies he could get away with. |
