The world is a scary place. Donald Trump as President will make it much worse. That is my chief objection to him as President. He endangers national security. His unwillingness to stand by allies undermines our own safety.
He has stated that, contrary to our treaty obligations, he would refuse to help defend NATO allies who are "delinquent" in contributing to their own defense in the event they are attacked by Russia. “No, I would not protect you ... . In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”
It's bad enough that this bible hawker is unable to keep his own word, as numerous contractors can attest. But he will refuse to stand by America's treaty obligations as well.
Incidentally, the requirement that NATO nations devote 2% of GDP to their own defense is a benchmark set in 2014, not a treaty obligation. The person who asked nations to pay more was Barack Obama.
Oh, my! Russia is NOT our greatest threat. China, radical Islam, and our own political Deep State have been, and will continue to be, the biggest threats to our daily lives. Actually, the majority of our troubles can be found inside our own borders. This will take years to fix.
ReplyDeleteTrump running Congress is the epitome of the deep state you speak of. And that's a fact Jack

Delete“I’m not threatened by Russia because white people live there. I’m threatened by CHINESE, ARAB and pesky LATINOS.”
There, I fixed your xenophobic statement.
You don’t really care about this country, you’re just a racist white supremacist.
Just say that next time.
President’s don’t run congress, idiot
DeleteSo 42,000 people this weekend disagree with you. Joe Biden told Iran "Don't" and they did. Now that same Biden is threatening not to support Israel (ISRAEL) if they counterattack against Iran. Sheesh, Bernie. I think your Democrat rose colored glasses are clouding not only your vision but your brain as well. I know you like to instigate issues to illicit responses (and raise blood pressures I guess). First task accomplished, second - not a chance. We all need to pray not instigate right now, Bernie, but you'll never believe me.
ReplyDeleteThere were not 42,000 people at the facist rally. Another Trump lie.
DeleteSo you believe In yet another trump lie 42k lol
DeleteBernie does not have a clue !
DeleteHopefully the many patriots in our Country will remember his comments about those of us who served their Country. Once a scumbag, always a scumbag. What else do you call a man who has an extra-marital affair with a hooker while your wife is pregnant with your child? Donald Trump is a walking rectum that should be neutered so he can't pass his genes onto another human being.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess in Trups 4 years our country was in worse shap than it is now! How’s the border working for all you liberals!
DeleteI see absolutely nothing wrong with holding and even displaying an America First attitude. I mean, how many millions of Americans willingly and proudly claim “My family comes first.” To me, belief in America First is similar.
ReplyDeleteTo all of those who served in our military, I express my sincerest gratitude. I do understand nearly all of our Congress members did not serve in uniform. I would hope, however, their political allegiance is firmly rooted in holding America first. Far too many, sadly, behave in a manner in conflict with this concept. The disconnect reaches into both political parties.
BO is a closet delusional maga puppet.
ReplyDeleteI swear you post this to detract from Joe Biden's awful foreign policy. Answer me this. How many embassies have been evacuated on Biden's watch? Who had cocaine in the whithehouse? Your TDS is really something. I would take $2.50 gas and a mean tweet over allies getting missiles shot at them anyday.
ReplyDeleteDude/Dudette 10:32:
ReplyDeleteThe Cold War never ended. Russia has 6,000 warheads; about 2,000 on the ready. They are indeed a big threat. China is a threat, too, but I don't see Xi using anything from his (much smaller, but, really, how many do you need?) arsenal. Xi's war is based on building a solid economy and modernizing China's military and using that leverage to annex Taiwan. A conflict with the U.S. would likely be a stalemate with concessions since neither the U.S. or China want to use nukes. Putin, however, has threatened to use nukes. Xi isn't a madman. Putin is. Radical Islam is also a threat (especially if a terrorist cell that is well-financed, organized, and has the technical skill to use one) obtains a nuke, which would likely be of Russian, not Chinese origin.
So 42,000 people this weekend disagree with you.
ReplyDeleteIn your imagination. Citizens Bank Park Capacity is 42,901. He'd be lucking to fill the infield. I see people tossing this number around all the time IT'S PLAIN WRONG.. PERIOD!
I wasn’t counting, were you? Someone was. If it was inaccurate reporting, not my fault. It certainly was a lot of people, though.
DeleteLet me add this. Use your head. If you think Donald thought he could fill up a Philadelphia stadium he'd waste one minute of his time coming to little ole Schnecksville instead?
ReplyDeleteI always try to see another person's point of view, and many times I can understand even if I don't agree. But not this time. After all the orange guy has done to tear apart norms and standards, I just don't see how anyone can still support him. I've heard many people say they don't like what Biden has done or would do in a second term, but I agree with those who say that we can survive policy we don't like because we have the ability to change leadership in four years. With Trump we get not only no policy other than worship-the-leader, we will likely lose the opportunity to elect anyone else in 2028.
ReplyDeleteHow’s the Border doing for you!! Get real
DeleteAbout the attendance in Schnecksville, the 42,000 figure is much too high. In my somewhat learned experience estimating crowds, after analyzing the open acreage and other physical impediments to human occupation, I would put that attendance between 10-12,000. But, crowd estimates are usually highly inflated. Best local example is Musikfest. the claimed million-plus visitors is more likely 5-600,000, many who attend more than once within that number.
ReplyDeleteLet me add this. Use your head. If you think Donald thought he could fill up a Philadelphia stadium he'd waste one minute of his time coming to little ole Schnecksville instead?
ReplyDeleteExactly. no way he even had 5,000 idiots show up
just like his inauguration that was "well attended, the best crowd"
the guy tried to quote Gettysburg and couldn't even get anything right but we can all understand why the civil ware era is weighing heavy on his feeble mind
Ha ha ha
Many people didn't get in
ReplyDeleteThe U.S. allocates about 3.45 percent of GDP to the defense budget, a good portion being used to defend NATO nations. Maybe we should drop to less than 2% and let the NATO countries crank up there spending to be ready to defend us when things get tough ?
ReplyDelete2:02 After all the orange guy has done to tear apart norms and standards,
ReplyDeleteI know its terrible that Trump tried to jail his political opponents and bankrupt them. Had cocaine in the whitehouse, had people flashing nude on the whitehouse lawn. Don Jr is indicted for Tax and gun charges. Don Jr had a laptop showing him with prostitutes while doing drugs. Donald/Melania ignores their own grandchildren to this day. Had multiple dogs taken away from him. Oh wait this was the Biden family that did all this. Not to mention Biden's daughter put in a personal diary that her dad showered with her.
Not a big Trump guy. He drives me nuts quite frankly. The fact is he left Biden no wars and now the whole world is on fire. Biden’s foreign policy is a complete failure. Under Obama they lost the Crimea. Drew a red line in Syria and erased it. Terrible!
ReplyDeleteSo how is Biden’s policy of appeasement working out? The world is on fire- just say "Don't" isn't working out.
ReplyDeleteThe point Trump made relates to fairness in amount of dollars from all the countries in and protected by NATO. If you want to be part of it and protected them you need to pay into it fairly. That's not an unreasonable request
ReplyDeleteJoe Biden is our biggest threat! Here we go with Russia Russia Russia again. So pathetic
ReplyDeleteTrump bad. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteTrump is hawking bibles and golden shoes like a two-bit huckster, and some people on this thread want to put him back in charge of our national security. Trump treats military folks like trash. Remember how he fired Jim Mattis, his Secretary of Defense? Disparaged John McCain and all our KIA/MIA/POWs? Remember what John Kelly, his Secretary of Homeland Security then Chief of Staff, said?
ReplyDeleteOn the day after the 2021 Capitol attack, Kelly said he supported Trump's removal from office by use of the 25th Amendment, adding, "What happened on Capitol Hill yesterday is a direct result of his poisoning the minds of people with the lies and the frauds."
Trump is human garbage. It's that simple.
You oughtta go into standup comedy. Your remarks are a riot! 🤣🤣🤣
DeleteI see people taking shots at Biden, but old man has the CIA and NSA straight up humming. We know *everything*. Biden even had our boys telling Russia about their own business with that recent terror attack on the concert hall... weeks ahead of time! Gotta give credit where credit is due.
ReplyDeleteWas there, at least 20k, stood in line 5 hours got in
ReplyDeleteDemocrat first, citizen second! Thought maybe you would do a story on the lefts hatred of Israel. Then again it’s everywhere so no need to report it on a democrat blog.
ReplyDeleteNo wars and three peace agreements in his last 12 months. Then, the new guy takes over, sides with neo-nazis, and reverses Middle East policy back to Obama's Iran-centric disaster. Now, we're on the verge of WWIII. Democrat liberals trying to defend the foreign policy of the Oberlin College faculty lounge is a riot. Do you have any self awareness? We're weak and pathetic and in danger of more than the three wars Biden decided to fund.
ReplyDeleteThe entire world is on fire- Biden's (Obama) foreign policy of appeasement is a complete disaster. Nobody respects or fears US- just say "Don't" isn't working.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with 6:53 The economy was humming and the Middle East was relatively quiet, and we got the Abraham Accords.
ReplyDeleteTrump is being tried by the real criminals..
ReplyDeleteEh -- Trump says all the wars would stop, but what he means is, he would capitulate to tyrants and let them do what they want. It's not bravery. It's cowardice. Just like when silver spoon rich kid got a fake medical deferral from Vietnam. Like this:
ReplyDeleteTrump Orders Withdrawal of U.S. Troops From Northern Syria
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/13/us/politics/mark-esper-syria-kurds-turkey.html
Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper said Sunday that President Trump ordered a withdrawal of American forces from northern Syria, a decision that will effectively cede control of the area to the Syrian government and Russia, and could allow a resurgence of the Islamic State.

9:48 am --> Are you saying the US justice system is corrupt?
ReplyDeleteTrump is a true American Criminal and should be tried as a traitor for all of his passiveness to Russia and Vladimir Putin. Plus the thousands of other illegal activities he did while in office. Moreover, his whole family should be thrown out of this country. They have done nothing but take money out of our system.
ReplyDelete12:14 I am laughing so hard because you referenced the New York Times and the AP. hahahahahahahahahah They fell for a pee pee tape.
ReplyDeleteHow many embassies have been evacuated on Biden's watch?
ReplyDeleteHere are some people who worked with and for Donald Trump during his first Presidency that have now publicly vowed to not vote for him in 2024 after seeing him "at work".

When you have American citizens shutting down roads chanting death to America we have a big problem in this country. That seems to be the Democrat base voter these days, anti American, Anti Israel, anti police, and anti military. Republicans are no better because they insist on running Trump. What a mess.
ReplyDeleteJust bought the Trump bible, paid still hasn’t come. Sneakers next!
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents always gave to Jim baker and Tammy Faye too, it’s in our blood!
How does the Dellecker, the so called intelligence officer, reconcile Trump's opposition to Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) because it might compromise his buddies? Trump's foreign policy is weak.
ReplyDeleteOh when I saw this headline I could only imagine all the MAGAt sheep running for their Trump bullshit book. Whining about gas prices, neglecting the fact that it was low as we were mired in Trump's piss poor handling of COVID. Whining about the about the border neglecting the fact that Trump crying (like a bitch) when they got close to a border agreement. He didn't want Biden to get credit. Throwing in other shit Trump nuggets. Biden molested his daughter, (Proof?, not the diary that comes with a tainted history) neglecting that Trump told Howard Stern that if if Ivanka wasn't his daughter he would probably date her. Left Biden with no wars neglecting Trump was poised to destroy NATO to appease his idol Putin. I didn't really notice the election was stolen horseshit, thankfully. All polls have watchers and somehow thousands of secret bags of votes were brought in under the so aware Republicans. And lastly, lest we forget the MEGA-Criminal is one trial with so many more in the wings. Usually if there is no evidence trials get dismissed but these plod along. Time to wake up slow people Trump is out for Trump and that's it. This all about saving his fat orange ass, he doesn't give a flying shit about you rubes. Stop wasting time here and go donate more money for his legal fund, rubes
