I would really feel a lot better of the nuclear codes were in the hands of someone who actually thought before speaking or acting.
I think we have to remember that war doesn't happen in a vaccum.

There is a huge buffer zone and a very serious set of protocols that takes place before the buttons get pushed.

One of my favorite things about Trump that hasnt been outlined by the media is the fact that he fully understands that the cost of war is far to expensive from a monetary perspective.

A war hero is someone who pulled another out of burning Humvee after an IED blast, cauterised a life-threatening wound, or found a way to sheild others from an RPG attack to the detriment of themselves.

Both the media and our politicians have greatly expanded the true definition.

Libs better hope nothing happens to Trump in the next 4 years or they're going to see what a conservative looks like up close and personal in Pence.

I agree with you on this one point.

Seems way too many people are "heroes" these days.

He was held prisoner and tortured. In any case, he did a lot more to serve his country in the military than Trump, whose personal Vietnam was trying to avoid a case of the clap whilst tomcatting around NYC.

Impeaching Trump sounds good in theory,which is why Trump should have stock to his guns and had Kasich or Chris Christy as VP. I might have even voted for him if he had just picked them.

This guy is anti woman to the core.He wants Roe vs Wade overturned,and wanted women to monitor their menstrual cycles in case they accidently miscarry.

Anti gay to the core.

The guy is SICK and vomit worthy.
You guys have so much to "worry" about that you look like blind dogs in a meat house.

What, you think we didn't "worry" about Valerie Jarret, Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, and the host of other American Antagonists who had regular access to The White House?

Maybe you should "worry". It would sure beat the arrogance that has marked the last 8 years.

trump won't run in 2020... he will be like 75 years old

It will be Pence (and somebody like Corker as runningmate) vs. somebody like Martin O'Malley with Thomas Perez or Cory Booker as VP.

And Pence will get smoked. Bigtime.

Justifications do not interest me. Dead is dead, whether it's our guys or their kids.
