Trump says the EU is a foe of the U. S.

Trump is a stupid moron. He spouts off his thoughts without any consideration whether they're prudent, constructive, or truthful.

That doesn't mean the Democrats have done anything better, especially in the last ten years.

Everything the Democrats have championed has been a huge expansion of government, increasing our military involvement, or reactionary politics to whatever the Republicans propose.

The Democrats can't decide what base to pander to or build. The only thing the Democrats know how to build is a nanny state, plus authoritarianism.

The Democrats' only platform is #Resist and #LiterallyHitler.

Damnit I want better options. I am very close to registering Libertarian, but with closed primaries, that would cut me out of local politics completely.

I agree with you about the better option. I hate Trump, and the GOP IMO are a bunch of spineless syncophants who are no better at controlling spending. But despite being liberal I’m pretty disgusted with the Dems as well. Simply running against Trump is not a winning strategy.

Russia is a 3rd World country with nukes. Half of their tanks don't run. The fact that the "RUSSIA!!!!!" crowd pisses themselves in some sort of "fear" over them being able to project power (aside from the MAD that the Dems seem to crave) on anyone aside from a bunch of Arab hillbillies is both highly laughable and highly pathetic. 

The Russkis can wage effective cyber attacks, and they have improved the capabilities of a small volunteer portion of their land forces, but the capabilities of their troops and equipment have always been way overblown.

Anyone think Snowden is involved in their cyber attacks? He certainly knows a lot about our cyber systems.

They are definitely getting better with non traditional warfare. But their military blows compared to most modern first world militaries aside from Germany.

These people have lost their cotton picking minds. 

Here is another one.

"We have NOTHING, no real information, but somehow, we THINK Trump once blinked twice in an elevator or something, and we have nothing reportable, but we NEED to hit Trump again, even though we haven't got shit, so here is our Trump elevator conspiracy theory":

And they're going to WONDER why the public is tired of this crap, and why the media isn't trusted anymore, and how Trump won again in 2020. 

If you don't have a reliable story, you don't RUN it, stupid.

Is it really so hard to just be professional in Journalism? Apparently, it's impossible for most media outlets.

Yes it’s a shame how the Bundeswehr has declined.

Yeah I dont really get that either. Prior to reunification they had a great but small military. Not sure why they feel they need 0 military funding

All of his tweets are that way. But words do matter. Anyone who has ever been in relationship can attest to that.  Also it's tone and tenor.  Which surprisingly as a sales person he has never mastered.

What do you mean I’m a whore? Did you mean slut? Because there is a big difference!

They are a Socialist Welfare State now. That and pushing massive immigration, are Germany's big priorities.

Doubt it..

These weren't even "hacking" attacks, they were phishing attacks where someone inside has to be stupid and open email attachnents.

Snowden is WAY beyond 12yo style attacks like email phishing. Seeiously, there have been many kids busted for phishing.

Exactly. I have had close friendships ruined over TDS. They obsess over it. I thought Obama was a moron, but I didn’t let it drive me batshit crazy, or ruin friendships. 

The current president is barely literate, but Obama was a moron. Got it...

Any 12 year old can download the tools & create a phishing attack.

This was NOT sophisticated hacking, and stupid DNC employees had to open several malicious email attachment fir the scam to work.

This isn't hacking, it's script-kiddie stuff.

His jokes about Russia as a threat being "1980s Foregn Policy" are a lot funnier now.

 

He was clearly a MORON, when it came to Russia.

At least Trump was willing to take action against Syria despite the Russians presence. All Obama did is talk about a red line. So, tell me who was more afraid of Russia? 

Are you claiming that Obama didn’t attack Syria?

I agree about the GOP. They have to have a platform beyond "Whatever Trump says goes."

They bitch about spending and adding to our national debt until they're in power, then it's like what debt?

I'd really love to see some cuts across the board. Reform Social Security to tie the recipient age to life expectancy. Dramatically reduce ground troops in other countries. 

Allow Medicaid to aggressively negotiate drug prices, and reduce patent durations on new drugs before they become generic. Cut subsidies to large-scale agricultural and energy producers. End corporate welfare and bailouts. End the drug war.

And push for a balanced budget amendment.

That, to me, would be moving in the right direction.

I think he’s referring to Obama’s “redline”

I agree with everything you just said except the balanced budget amendment. We need to be able to deficit spend during times of war and economic contraction.  It’s stupid to deficit spend in an era of economic expansion like we have now.  They also shouldn’t have cut taxes and kept that in their back pocket for the next recession (which will happen eventually).
