President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

War with North Korea won't start until next spring.

The necessary pre-war build up takes time, and there's no sense launching a war right as winter arrives.

 

The NCAA was so mad at the Electoral College after the election that they put Cleveland State on probation again.

 

No one with good sense would start a war at this time of year, but what if Trump overrules the generals?

War or not, our Pacific allies have to make decisions in the best interests of their countries. Who do they think that they can depend on to be consistent in their positions, Trump/Tillerson or China?

 

He wasn't even accused of doing anything wrong in the article, yet you still felt the need to leap to President Trump's defense.

The article does seem to question if this is appropriate to offer to any candidate, but it does make it very clear that these services were available to everybody.

 

Honest question. What do people think would happen if Trump went off the deep end (or more off the deep end) and wanted to start a war that was clearly crazy. Would the adults step in and take over or would we be screwed? I know there have been reports that they have discussed physically restraining him but I don't know if there is any truth to those rumors. What is everyone's best guess?

 

Meh. Been the American foreign policy for more than half a century.

 

Sure but not with nuclear weapons seemingly ever in play. With Trump one just doesn't know.

 

"The Republican senators went to the White House and saw a president so repetitive and rambling, some thought he might be suffering from early Alzheimer’s."

“Restraint? Why are you so concerned with saving their lives? The whole idea is to kill the bastards. At the end of the war, if there are two Americans and one Russian, we win.”
― Thomas S. Power, Commander in Chief of the Strategic Air Command

 

No word yet on whether the prototype border walls will be tested with ladders, shovels and drones, however.....

Hammers, axes will help test Trump border wall prototypes

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The U.S. government announced Thursday that prototypes for President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall with Mexico have been completed and will be subjected to punishment to test their mettle — by workers wielding sledgehammers, torches, pickaxes and battery-operated tools.

The testing lasting up to two months could lead to officials concluding that elements of several designs should be merged to create effective walls, said Ronald Vitiello, U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s acting deputy commissioner. That raises the possibility of no winner or winners.

 

How many times must I remind the board that if Electoral College goes under, SEC teams will be at a loss over who to play in November.
