    Team Trump Treason will have the US at war in late 2019/early 2020, to you know, increase his re-election chances.
    The US is already at war and the likelihood of additional war will not increase due to US actions but due to US and allied inaction. China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Turkey to name a few have nefarious intentions and will continue to push boundaries if they are left unopposed. The best way to slow and/or prevent this is to prepare for the worst. Nobody can run from the tide that is coming toward us.
    Let me know how many Canadian troops are proffered for the coalition of the brilliant. And when they return from space. Oh, the first three countries you listed are nuclear powers, so no, and one of which is in possession of a PTape so double no. Of the other two you listed, one is a NATO ally and the other would require a massive land invasion, unless you’re advocating a nuclear strike? So, again, no. But keep beating that war drum Professor, keep beating that drum.
    You need to make-up your mind as to whether Trump is a stooge of these dictators or whether he is being too tough on them. Honestly you seem to take a different tack every day. Also...the fact that you still believe there is a PTape is truly amazing.

    The Pennsylvania race proves it: Trump is a weight around the GOP’s neck

    In short, the vast majority of Republican officeholders will continue walking the tightrope. Too afraid of offending the GOP base, which is still solidly behind Trump, yet too afraid of generating a backlash among Democrats and independents, they are the proverbial deer caught in the headlights. They dare not dash to one side or another (solidly pro- or anti-Trump), but they are defenseless against the charge that they are enablers of a deeply unpopular president.

    The Pennsylvania race proves conservative democrats can win. Lamb did not run against Trump. He was a great candidate who vocally rejected Pelosi and supported most if not all of the GOP's positions. There is nothing wrong with that and in fact it is smart. The other thing the race proves is that Lamb's district is not filled with a bunch of misogynist, low-information racists who voted for Trump by 20 points but then all of a sudden came to their senses. The voters of this district were offered a young dynamic candidate who spoke to them with respect and for the most part agreed with them on centre-right issues.
    it doesn't matter. trump ran against him. and failed. again. 
    Yeah. Maybe. Other's could argue that Saccone was about to get slaughtered until Trump showed up. I'm not really sure but if you were a Republican knowing this district is about to disappear in November then why even bother showing up if it makes zero difference to the governing majority? There were so many different things at play and in the end people shouldn't take away from the fact that Lamb himself was/is an excellent candidate.

    Stormy has a tape. And pictures. Both of which will lend credence to the Steele Dossier. Hence Team Trump Treason’s fear of her. So, you’re advocating war with three nuclear powers, a NATO ally and a country that would make Iraq look like a cake walk? I guess you can when your country doesn’t have any skin in the game. And how has my position changed?

    President Donald Trump thinks the United States should launch a “Space Force,” a branch of the military devoted to wars in space. 

    “Space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air and sea,” Trump said on Tuesday at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. “We may even have a Space Force, develop another one, Space Force. We have the Air Force, we’ll have the Space Force.”

    At first, Trump said he wasn’t serious about the notion.

    “Then I said, ‘What a great idea!’ Maybe we’ll have to do that,’” Trump said. “So think of that: Space Force, because we are spending a lot and we have a lot of private money coming in, tremendous.”

    He also described the U.S. military as “vital to ensuring America continues to lead the way into the stars.”

    Kay, honestly, ignoring the fact that he's a rambling idiot with this, I don't think this kind of (crazy) talk is bad. Yes, of course the idea of militarizing in space seems insane, but remember, this guy isn't going to be in office anywhere near long enough for that to get off the ground. Given that, the fact that he appears to be in support of space travel technology/funding is probably a good thing in the long term. The alternative, and where I often fear Republican presidents will go, is for them to slash or totally cut off funding for technology development in that area. I'm personally one who supports all work that goes towards space exploration/technology in general, not to mention asteroid intervention projects, which actually are one priority for NASA - that work has to continue in a consistent way as humankind evolves IMO .... So dropping the stupid space wars fantasy that Trump is babbling about, if he's going to help to fund NASA or even military scientific research in that area, that could be a good thing for after he's gone, at least compared to slowing or stopping that kind of advancement. And it is actually possible that he's going in the dumb "space wars" route when he talks because that is probably the only track he can take with it so his moronic base will support paying for space technology development.

    But what if the opposite happens... That things turnout to be fine which ends up proving that the lifelong professional political class who claim to know better then us deplorables just ain't that special.

    There is a whole industry that is far more petrified of this.

    Brian, you bring up a very frightening prospect.
    Image if any of these professions; brain surgeon, cardiologist, child's teacher, plumber, firefighters, emts or the military, were as unqualified as Trump.
    It would be the end of the world as we know it.

    That Stormy just won't blow over. Now she wants to return the money so she can share all of her story, photos, texts and messages. Never thought I would actually be rooting for a porn star to derail our esteemed POTUS.

    https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-latest/h_898b720d46e52b515b3ae54afa617ccd?adkey=bn
    I wonder how much she would owe if she broke contract? Let's say it's 1 million, I bet she could find a lot of wealthy people willing to pay that for her. A go fund me would probably have no trouble coming up with the cash.

    But I hope that this all comes back to Trump violating election laws. I'm not that interested in his private life and more interested in his shady cover-ups.


    Haha.

    I know people use polling numbers to their advantage and decry them when they don't, but this is considered a massive upset, even if he squeaks out a win, is it not? trump won that same district by 20 points. excellent opposing candidate or not, that doesn't happen without reason.

    I disagree. What will come of it is no major cuts in funding for space technology research and development. That's kind of my point. Most Republican Presidents would likely be slashing that funding. With this kind of blather, he's not nearly as likely to make such cuts. He could even end up increasing funding for NASA and military research at some point, just because of this mindless blather. That is a good thing.

    So Team Trump Treason forces the resignation of his chief White House economic council policy advisor because he was against the steel and aluminum tariffs but hires Kudlow, a CNBC economic show host and former advisor to Team Trump Treason’s campaign, who is also against tariffs? Makes sense in a brilliant brilliancy kind of way. Kind of like a space force makes sense.

    Yea, there’s no PTape. Just a disgruntled Hillary supporter creating an insurance policy.

    House Intelligence Democrats want to question the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow about the most salacious and controversial allegation in the Trump-Russia dossier - Business Insider https://apple.news/At8dN3c1mQmm5FcpVXymQrw

    Visited a Vegas strip club where performers performed golden showers. If Team Trump Treason never met Stormy, why not release her from the non-existent non-disclosure agreement? PTape, that’s why.

    President Donald Trump thinks the United States should launch a “Space Force,” a branch of the military devoted to wars in space. 

    “Space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air and sea,” Trump said on Tuesday at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. “We may even have a Space Force, develop another one, Space Force. We have the Air Force, we’ll have the Space Force.”

    At first, Trump said he wasn’t serious about the notion.

    “Then I said, ‘What a great idea!’ Maybe we’ll have to do that,’” Trump said. “So think of that: Space Force, because we are spending a lot and we have a lot of private money coming in, tremendous.”

    He also described the U.S. military as “vital to ensuring America continues to lead the way into the stars.”

    Kay, honestly, ignoring the fact that he's a rambling idiot with this, I don't think this kind of (crazy) talk is bad. Yes, of course the idea of militarizing in space seems insane, but remember, this guy isn't going to be in office anywhere near long enough for that to get off the ground. Given that, the fact that he appears to be in support of space travel technology/funding is probably a good thing in the long term. The alternative, and where I often fear Republican presidents will go, is for them to slash or totally cut off funding for technology development in that area. I'm personally one who supports all work that goes towards space exploration/technology in general, not to mention asteroid intervention projects, which actually are one priority for NASA - that work has to continue in a consistent way as humankind evolves IMO .... So dropping the stupid space wars fantasy that Trump is babbling about, if he's going to help to fund NASA or even military scientific research in that area, that could be a good thing for after he's gone, at least compared to slowing or stopping that kind of advancement. And it is actually possible that he's going in the dumb "space wars" route when he talks because that is probably the only track he can take with it so his moronic base will support paying for space technology development.
    it won't matter. trump is just blathering about whatever comes into his puny mind again. nothing will come of it. 
    I disagree. What will come of it is no major cuts in funding for space technology research and development. That's kind of my point. Most Republican Presidents would likely be slashing that funding. With this kind of blather, he's not nearly as likely to make such cuts. He could even end up increasing funding for NASA and military research at some point, just because of this mindless blather. That is a good thing.
    but he often says one thing and the next bloody week he does the exact opposite. I'm saying his rhetoric means literally zero.

    Well, maybe. But it seems to me that it's not an anti-space White House in general, especially not when China, Russia, and India are so into it, so that's good... Good in Trump terms I mean. I can't think of any reason why they'd suddenly go anti-space now, given what they've said about it (and not just during that ridiculous speech). But okay, if you're looking at it as "I believe nothing and nothing means anything ever", then yeah, I see your point.

    impulsive behavior should not be encouraged whether it be in starting a relationship with an actress (of any genre) when you have a wife and baby at home, or in firing your Secretary of State.

    it ALWAYS makes you look stupid.
