a reply to: Tiger5

The president in waiting has an unprecedented level of scandal.

Mandela effect? Did Hillary win in your timeline?

Every American is responsible for what is happening in the middle east since we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. It was our representatives that voted for it. As long as these wars have stretched you don't expect bad judgments? Then lets get out of there now.

I agree with this sentiment 100%. We need to get out of the ME...all the way out!

We are a lot closer to a nuclear war right now than we ever would have been with Hillary. She would not be tweeting and provoking the one china policy. China will not back down.

I categorically disagree with your 1st sentence. Hillary would have started a war with Russia on January 21st, one day after being inaugurated.

Regarding China, you are correct, they will not back down. However, they equally won't start WWIII. It's not their culture, not the way they operate (and I know a thing or two about Chinese culture having lived in Asia for a number of years). Their culture is to apply unyielding, but gentle, pressure on their opponents. They don't undertake drastic measures or moves. They prevail by wearing down resistance over time. They are fiercely defensive, but not particularly offense oriented.

The chinese tell their military how they want things done?

If the Chinese leaders don't tell their military how they want things done, there wouldn't be Chinese leaders. Just the Chinese military.

If the us collapses from within, who needs war 3? Someone better come up with a jobs plan asap. Jobs that will buy health insurance, increase in property taxes, and food.

a reply to: markosity1973

Fully agree.


The U.S. and Russia likely need a much closer relationship- at least with Trump as President.


It would better best to have that in place before 'negotiations' with China.....

China is Screwed.

I wouldn't doubt it if they just fed their enemies to their poor population.

Hey money saved right?

I don't really care about the Chinese citizens, they have always been oppressed. The chinese military has plenty of money to build islands in the s china sea and load them with weapons.

Increase import tariffs on off-shore manufactured goods.

Decrease/remove import tariffs on raw materials.

Decrease/remove export tariffs on manufactured goods, particularly agriculture and automotive.

Remove government subsidies on ethanol, solar and wind. Make them compete.

Get government out of industry, reduce bureaucratic red-tape, downsize DOE, EPA and the NHTSA.

Guess what? ...jobs! LOTS of jobs!

It's not hard really.

Do you think the new congress and president will do any of that together?

By far the best choice Americans have made for president in decades.

imo

Will make second fortune from investments in tissue makers and popcorn companies since the election .

a reply to: VengefulGhost

Are tissue makers and popcorn companies good paying jobs?

Thing is, Americans are acting like passengers on a plane going down running up and down the aisles all panicked and screaming with their arms flailing in the air instead of sitting down, buckling up and bracing for impact.

Besides, Trump has not even taken office.

Every politician is corrupt on some level or another. Here in Australia we have politicians dropping like flies because they have all been booking up holidays on the taxpayers dime.

The point I am trying to make is that while he may not be the best President you have ever had, he will still be the ONLY President you have for the next term. So just calm down and focus your energy on not allowing WW3 to happen.

Very well said. Sure there will be opportunities to dislike something he said or does, but at least let it happen before the pitchforks and torches come out.

Who gives the military that money to make those moves? The civilians.

The nastier the regime, the more they need to keep their military in line and do so.
