      @Mik commented on this earlier today.

      Sheesh...

      There are things you think and things you say. The second should be a subset of the first.

          Had he just said I expect our NATO partners to meet their contribution commitments that would have been fine. But what he said was beyond imbecilic.

              This stuff has been all over the news here. He definitely has a point about NATO partners having to pay their contribution, but sheesh… what a dumb and irresponsible way to say it… 🙄

                I saw a graph of NATO contributions by European nations (as an aggregate). They slowly fell throughout the Bush and Obama years. Then, in 2017, they started to rise again - for four years.

                Then, they started to decline again.

                        Really??!! How can people still support him?????

                        People can say that is "President Trump just being President Trump.", and that works the first time. Maybe even the second or third times. But at some point, people have to realize that he is in no way should be president of the US.

                        (And yes, I would say the same thing about President Biden at this point also.)

                          That has never been the question.

                          Too many people seem to think it is about a love affair. It isn't.

                          Trump or Clinton?

                          Trump or Biden?

                          I'll pick Trump every time, it's not even close.

                            What are the policies that President Trump has vs. the others that you base your vote on? I am guessing that you have certain specific issues that overrule all others.

                                I think it is disengenius to say that the others don't. You may not agree with certain of their policies but I very much doubt that President Biden or President Clinton did not like the US.

                                  Mr. Biden has taken money to act as an agent for China. What could be worse?

                                  Ms. Clinton put up a politically more useful front. Like many at the time, she and her husband were anti-war when he was facing the draft. He had a high draft number so he was never drafted, but he was in the process of avoiding the draft when he got lucky.

                                  Of course the Obamas are famous for their dislike of the USA, they revel in it.

                                    It is said that Cadet Trump was deferred from the draft owing to one or more bone spurs on his heel(s) and subsequent student enrolments.

                                    Truth be known however he was declared medically unfit because his school record at the Academy and presiding physicians determined he was thoroughly devoid of any moral character. Meaning that if placed in a combat situation, soldier Trump would put his unit in grave risk through an inability to follow orders owing to an unwarranted and narcissistic sense of entitlement as well as a cowardly refusal to be held accountable in the face of adversity. In addition to all that, he loved himself more than his country and his fellow soldiers. In short, a uniformed Trump would be a total waste of rations to his unit, company and regiment.

                                    The bone spurs story, was just that- a story.
