Wisdom doesn't come from being one sided. glasses


When I hear the two sides of President Trump it doesnt sound like great wisdom to me.

at a certain point there are no more people left to kill, how ever much more nuclear catastrophe is initiated

I dont think Trump understands that because he sees everything as a deal, and he is accustomed to nothing touching him or his,,,,
I agree w/you that you don't need 100s of nukes , to destroy everything and everyone, but if our adversary's keep increasing their stock pile than we need to keep pace if for no other reason , a deterrent . We can only blame the natural progression of technology, when mankind learns the lesson that just because we can design and build a item that has so much potential and power to change the way we live, doesn't mean we have to. Some things are better when left as they are. Kind of like cell phones,sometimes I miss the days when you didn't worry about phone calls when you got home from work and listen to your answering Mach. Ahh , the good old days. Lol


Do you understand why we have the number of nukes we do? They vary in blast size and to protect America we deploy them on numerous vessels and military bases around the world. Just to keep those stocked we need over 1,000.

Really? Do you see him dealing with North Korea? He is in the process of putting the full weight of the US Military into South Korea and they are training and preparing to take out the Government of the rogue regime.

The deal was made with the South many years ago. Trump just has the balls to enforce it.

Whatever Country you are from,and whoever is in charge, whoever you like-dislike, trust, or whatever reasons we may have on who is-was-or could do a better job for YOUR country,the bottom line is that they do not want to change the status quo,that being that 1% of the Worlds population have as much Wealth as the other 99%, only when the Powers that be, change this behavior to benefit the rest of us, will we-with a bit of luck have someone in charge who is actually on our side, do any of us truthfully see that in any of them.

I don't believe everyone running for office is in line with the status quo where wealth is concerned

I do believe a large portion of the population are conditioned to believe the wealthy are more of a benefit to them than they are, and that the have nots are less human or deserving,,, lending more of them to vote against their self interests because they do not see themselves in the same category of the less human or deserving 'have nots'


the mindset that having more=being more deserving=working harder


leaves many believing that if they dont have more its ONLY because they dont work 'harder'


and if people need more they arent deserving of it because they didnt work for it,,,

still not as many rag to riches stories as people like to romanticize about

most are riches to riches , unless they are tech geniuses or inventors


the rest usually remain in the same financial status they were born to,, whatever level of 'work' they put in

I haven't seen any indication of this. It would be an international scandal at least, if true. Japan would be in immediate danger of suffering reprisals, and they aren't likely to sit quietly for that.

We have bluster. Nothing else yet.

And Trump is already infamous for making extreme and provocative statements with no intention of following through on them at all. I suspect you are suffering from a bit of your own kind of wishful thinking with this.

All I see is an ANNUAL combined force exercise. It's nothing new. Other than that we have:

Speaking Friday during his first visit to South Korea as America’s top diplomat, the Associated Press reported that Tillerson said “all of the options are on the table,” including the use of military force, when it comes to U.S. policy towards North Korea. A preemptive strike, Tillerson said, could be appropriate should North Korea’s nuclear missile program escalate to a level “that we believe requires action."


Diplo talk for "You are making us angry and more sanctions will follow."

What would a Trump-Tillerson war with North Korea really look like?

South Korea would suffer heavy casualties since DPRK artillery / missiles are already targeted on Seoul and other cities.

Kim is insane. A true all out nutcase. It would not be beyond him to launch ICBM's.

The international repercussions would be too great for that preemptive strike to occur. Not without a whole lot of talks with allies etc. And at moment the world probably doesn't see Trump as being very reliable when it comes to facts.

The 19 agencies that Trump’s budget would kill, explained


The 19 agencies that Trump’s budget would kill, explained

..........

Here's what Trump's budget proposes to cut

..........

For many of the poorest Americans, the so-called wasteful spending projects and programs Trump plans to cut or do away with will have serious impact.

Eliminating programs like the Department of Labor’s Senior Community Service Employment program, which coordinates job readiness programs for low-income, unemployed seniors; the Health and Human Services department’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance program, which helps needy families pay their heating bills; and the Legal Services Corporation, which funds free civil legal aid for poor Americans, are all items that will hurt low-income Americans.

Trump voters will be among those most affected by these cuts. Ninety percent of voters in Alabama’s Winston County supported Trump in the presidential election, making it the most pro-Trump county in the country. The county, however, is one of the poorest in the state, with a median household income of $33,685. The state receives home energy assistance grants for its poorest residents, and federal job training programs for seniors under Obama have opened up thousands of job opportunities for older residents in the state. Legal Services Alabama, the only organization in the state dedicated to representing poor residents, takes several thousand family violence, consumer protection, and housing cases a year, most of them at no cost.

Eliminating these, or other programs for the poor and elderly will have pronounced impact on many of the voters who helped elect Trump and establish full Republican control of Congress. While Congress will still have to weigh in on Trump’s proposal, how this apparent conflict will play out remains to be seen.


Trump budget proposal would boost defense, eliminate funds for humanities, arts

..............

What America would look like under the Trump budget

..............

Proposed cuts to the EPA include defunding the Clean Power Plan, which EPA administrator Scott Pruitt sued to block as Oklahoma attorney general. Pruitt sued the EPA over a dozen times during prior to becoming its head, and in the majority of cases he listed utilities and energy companies that had donated to his campaigns as co-plaintiffs.

Trump Budget Funds Pentagon with Cuts to Health, Aid

..............

If you’re a poor person in America, President Donald Trump’s budget proposal is not for you.

Trump has unveiled a budget that would slash or abolish programs that have provided low-income Americans with help on virtually all fronts, including affordable housing, banking, weatherizing homes, job training, paying home heating oil bills, and obtaining legal counsel in civil matters.

If you’re a poor person in America, Trump’s budget is not for you

................




Perhaps someone can explain in a rational manner how making the poor poorer and removing the programs that help them improve their situation, messing up the environment, and removing funding from medical research etc will Make America Great Again.

Meals on Wheels could take funding hit in Trump budget

The administration’s proposed cuts target the Department of Housing and Urban Development and call for the elimination of the $3 billion Community Development Block Grant, which helps fund programs including Meals on Wheels, which deliver food (and human interaction) to elderly, disabled and poor recipients. “The federal government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well-targeted to the poorest populations and has not demonstrated results,” the budget proposal states.

This is how much it costs ‘Meals on Wheels’ to feed one elderly person for a year

How is defunding Meals on Wheels, school lunches and after school programs going to Make America Great Again?

How is defunding education / job training for 55+ going to Make America Great Again?

I realize that the 'skinny budget' of the President is supposed to a plan of his vision for the nation, to be reviewed / altered / ammended by lawmakers, but how does this plan help the nation?

It eliminates a lot of bureaucratic over indulgence.
If one only knew what I gave to state and federal a year. Don't get me wrong we all need to contribute, and I feel like I'm getting robbed legally.
