God bless Donald Trump.
They have no say even though they are in the direct path of invasion if things really go south? You do realize that we took on much of the responsibility for defending the world to prevent massive arms races that had been leading to bloody war after bloody war...three of which we had been drawn into...for centuries? And that there has been no general European war since we adopted that strategy in the late 40s. The European nations, Japan, etc had no qualms about spending ungodly amounts of money on armaments prior to 1945. And once they had them...guess what? They used them. Frequently. (just like we do). Tens of millions died. Entire countries and entire regions of the world laid waste. Do you really, really want to go back to that? To save a,little money?
And if we so uncommitted to our allies that we are going to ditch them just because they aren't fully paid up...and leave them to their fate...are we really going to...even if they pay up...lay it on the line for them when the red lights start blinking and the klaxons start sounding? How much would you trust a friend who said he would have your back in a tight spot...but will not unless you pay him that fifty spot you owe him? That isn't the kind of friend I would want at my side during a pinch. And that isn't going to be lost Ln the Russians, Chnese, NK, etc she they try to figure out our likely response if they make a big move.
And Trump has already put a stop to our annual war games that were key to coordinating a defense of an invasion of SKorea in the event of another invasion by NK.
Do our alliances mean anything under this administration?

One of the first things he did was taking office was signing a law which made it legal for internet providers to sell your personal information without your knowledge and consent. Civil liberties are our current president's greatest weakness and we will suffer for it long after he leaves office.

But this is also why he is so popular. People want the civil liberties of brown people and *gasp* gay people infringed on. We are a white, Christian nation by golly!!!

How are gays and brown people affected differently than whites here?

Don’t sign up to an ISP that will treat your information that way.

the election of Trump has revealed what is wrong with liberal democrats and the media as it demonstrates the phenomenon of mass hysteria and the damage it can cause.


Their distortion of Trump's words and intent is the stuff of nightmares and days filled with hate and fear of their own creation.


How far is too far? the hate filled democrats and their media propaganda machine has crossed the line way before the big lie of Ferguson and BLM. Democrats have replaced reality with lies to fit their political agenda and have gone way beyond acceptable behavior.
