Political discussions about everything

Given the Medicaid expansion, it is deeply disingenuous to pretend all those are both poor and sick.

Many of them are quite able to work, but Obama essentially deleted the work aspect of welfare.

Let's tell the truth -- Democrats WANT as many people as possible on welfare and on Medicaid because that enlarges the role of government, makes people depend on it, and keeps the gravy train rolling for Dem politicians.

True dat! Democrat politicians don't care about the costs, debts or lies as long as their gravy train continues.

During Obama's tenure, Democrats actually applauded the fact that millions more were on food stamps.

They had the temerity to claim that it improved nutrition for the poor.

About 40 percent of those on food stamps are so fat they meet the clinical obesity criterion.

JJ....I believe that what they were "applauding", was that people who needed help were getting it. Not that people were dropping out of the work force so that they could get freebies.

Of course there will always be assholes who scam the system for whatever they can get. And yes....I've seen those fat slobs using food stamps too, but those are not the majority of where the program's money is going. The politicians continue to redirect more and more of the money to the rich, thereby leaving out the middle and lower classes from getting what they need to survive.

Don't be so cold hearted.

I think you mean allowing the rich to keep more and more of their own money.

In the mean time our friend Kim held a press conference today and declared nukes will soon be landing in several cities in the United States. He said he has ordered his military to full alert and the packages are being prepared so when he feels the time is right to destroy America. Sure he could only kill a few hundred thousand and for sure will pick libtard cities as his first targets so the losses to America won't be that great, some of them need to be started over anyway. The media and libtards will be screaming bloody murder that Trump didn't act with military force earlier to stop Clinton's (I mean Kim's) nuclear program.

Tick tock, tick tock!!!

Like Kelly said "ALWAYS Country First"

We have 30,000 U.S. troops in South Korea that joke about themselves as being speed bumps if North Korea ever does invade the South. Their job is to try and slow North Korea down long enough for the bombers to get there, the majority know they'll die either by the North Koreans or the bombing. No other country is willing to make the sacrifices America is willing to make to protect other countries and the vast majority don't appreciate it, they look as us as "their God given police forces". Time for that to change, way past time. Country first!
#92250
Agree but we're the only country that acts as speed bumps and trip wires, the majority of the others fall back on the self imposed restriction of not being able to do more than provide non combatant support unless it's a direct assault upon "their" country. Maybe it's time we impose some restrictions on when our troops can die. Country first.
#92289
tRump can solve that problem in 30 days, so I think I'll vote for him.
Not sure how long it might take Trump but I do know Obama had 8 years to deal with and the North Korean nuclear program flourished under him. I certainly hope Trump pull an Obama over the next 8 years and just kicks the can.

johnny, you clearly found your true calling as a young man. Such skills would have easily been transferable into the stuffy, pretentious winding asphalt of an upper middle class housing development.

Instead, you decided to test (and achieve) the limits of the Peter Principle.

What's up with that?
#92326
The crazy damn Orange fucker is gonna get us all killed.
History has shown, there are times in history when a few million people must die so a new world order can be established. Maybe that time has come, if so, I'm glad Trump is our leader and not on our enemy's leader. Pass the popcorn...got gold?

Truman was intimidated by McArthur, who was rather imperious. But he was also afraid of China and perhaps the Soviets entering the war, full scale. Truman could have listened to Partton a few years earlier and destroyed the Soviets (with the enthustiac help of the newly defeated Germsns) at the end of WWII. He could have then stopped the NORKS and China before anyone else had nukes, but he failed.

And now this is what we have.

An interesting side note. I met an older gentleman who had flown P-51 Mustang fighters in WWII, and Sabrejets in Korea. I asked him if, at the time, he knew he was flying against Soviet pilots?
He replied, "Oh hell yes. We could hear them talking on the radios."

No doubt, Hillary would have dumped money on them and cut back on sanctions in an attempt to kick the can further down the road as NK went full steam ahead on their nuclear weapons development.

The way I see it, the first strikes will be on NK's known missile sites, the attacks will come from air and water but outside of South Korea in an attempt to avoid retaliation on South Korea. South Korea will stand by and watch as long as North Korea doesn't strike them. What happens after the US strikes NK's missile sites will depend 100% on NK's actions. I don't think they'll go after Kim unless he launches missiles and goes all out on South Korea. Kim probably knows that, in fact he'll be told that the moment we start hitting his missile sites.

Now on something that pertains to most of us out of all of this...got gold?

The asphalt on the roads near me is not "stuffy" or "pretentious."

I am now consulting a Professor of English to ascertain whether any pavement anywhere is stuffy or pretentious.

Meanwhile, Clowntoker should cooperate with my efforts to derail this thread into a stock market discussion.


P.S.:
Hopefully the Left Wing doesn't think the term "blacktop" is racist?
#92373
You're clueless.
Dog, for a teacher you sure have a closed mind. Go back an read what I wrote, in the coming months (weeks) you'll find that my prediction was spot on. I know this because Trump follows me and he's passed my comments on to his commanding generals to follow through on...or it could be because I don't have my head stuck up my ass and have been paying attention.

And soldiers looking at Russian tanks are not literally "speed bumps" either, you imbecile.

johnny, as the one who initially used poetic metaphor to describe the utilitarian nature of your existence, you must then allow me the same use of poetic metaphor to describe the utilitarian nature of your existence.
Don't be a hater just because I am a better poet than you. :lol:
#92634
Come on Dog, you have to give the President credit on this one. He drew a red line and dared Kim to cross it, Kim backed off, we all know Kim would have crossed that red line if it had been drawn by anyone but Trump. Trump's chess moves has put North Korea in check.

Also notice how quite Iran has been since Trump put them on notice. Most impressive six months indeed

North Korea conducted a test of a hydrogen bomb for a long-range missile on Sunday, which South Korean and Japanese officials said is ten times larger than previous tests. South Korea’s national security adviser, Chung Eui-yong, said after a 90-minute emergency meeting of the National Security Council that Seoul would consider the possible deployment of what he described as the “most powerful strategic assets that the U.S. possesses,” without elaborating, according to a statement from the presidential Blue House.
Things are heating up in North Korea. So do we wait until North Korea launches nukes?
#93546
You have a suggestion about what "we should do"?
Above my pay grade, we have a President, Congress and a military to make that decision. I will support what ever informed decisions they make. Trump has displayed remarkable restraint but the time to act is counting down.

The purpose of this thread was to make everyone aware that unless North Korea is stopped he will launch nukes at us, talking and UN resolutions won't work, only military action will stop him. Do we use that option now or do we wait until he hits us with nukes? I think we all know Trump will not allow him the opportunity to nuke us, so when the military action starts we all need to be 100% behind our President and our military. We all know we'll have libtards screaming bloody murder for not giving talks a few more years.
#93552
No....we do NOT have an "informed Precedent (sic)". We only have a Blubbering Baboon, who has poked the bear as often as his shit-draining oral aperture has allowed.

And no! King dipshit un is not gonna "launch" against us. He's ugly and he's an asshole, but he's not likely to start a war that he KNOWS will be the end of him and his country. China has informed him of such.

If tRump would shut his PieHole, things will calm down. Yes.....we have and WILL have a nuclear armed NK madman, but we already have one in the US. So just shut the fuck up and things will work themselves out. You don't START a war, in order to KEEP FROM having a war.
#93562

Obama did that for 8 years and now Korea not only has nukes, they have missiles that can deliver them to the United States. Kim will launch the nuclear missiles and if they hit the United States, libtards will claim, Trump should have taken action and that he "allowed" the United States to be hit. I trust our President to do what's right, kicking the can isn't the solution.
#93576
tRump's rhetoric is what is edging him on.
- Dogshit Otis.
The phrase is: "egging him on,"
You stupid fuck.

Are you in the "throws" of a delimma?
