Saw on twitter tonight:

Trump could have done more damage to that airfield if he bought it and ran it as a business.

Problem is, these days, the only way Trump can afford to buy a business is to take out a loan from a Russian bank.

Yes indeed, their economy is currently the size of Italy's. And then they spend so much of it on military hardware. But of course they do have nukes so we ought not push them too far.

They have four times our population but a smaller GDP than Canada. Think about what spending enough of our GDP on the military to have a Russian sized military would do to us. On to of that, of course, is the extreme corruption whereby so much of what the country does have is stolen by a small cadre of oligarchs around Putin.

Most Russians live in what Canadians would consider to be extreme poverty.

So Trump disparaged Obama for his golf games and he's going to "stay at the WH and work my ass off". Boy did that turn out to be yet another lie. So far he has been to Mara Laga 17 times and pissed more money away riding fruitlessly around in Air Force One than Obama did in eight years. He's a joke to us Canucks I guess but if I was an American I'd be looking for a way impeach the **** toute suite.

The problem with posting something like that HERE is that you're not going to find anyone to argue with you.  ;D

Not sure why you would see that as a problem. It's good to have people agree with you.

I guess since Putin is not even planning to visit with Tillerson during his latest visit, the likelihood of another Order of Friendship Award is rather slim.

It's pretty bad when the official White House spokesperson is so dense that Alex Jones even thinks he's an idiot. Sean Spicer said the Nazis didn't use chemical weapons then went on to try to explain what he meant five different ways and it's still no less stupid than when he first said it. These people aren't qualified to pack bags at a grocery story, let alone run a country.

According to Trump not so long ago, NATO was "obsolete", today it's a great institution. Does Trump ever say the same thing two days in a row? The media that are forced to follow him are getting whiplash from the constant flip flops.

He just figured out he needs NATO as much as it needs him.

Yes, its amazing how much Trump has "learned", that should have been obvious to someone with even a thimbleful of intelligence/political insight...

Such as:

"Nobody Knew health care could be so complicated".
- Donald Drumph.
(See: http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/27/politics/trump-health-care-complicated/)

Well, Donald, most people actually did know that.

Or how about Trump, North Korea and China:
"After listening for 10 minutes, I realized it’s not so easy."
- Donald Drumph
http://www.vox.com/2017/4/12/15279654/trump-north-korea-xi-10-minutes

The U.S. could have voted for a candidate like Hillary, an imperfect candidate but at least one who actually had political experience and a set of realistic policies. Instead, they elected a racist orangutan with no political experience who's campaign mostly involved spouting half-baked (and often contradictory) ideas.  So instead of getting a president who knows what they're doing right from day 1, they get a president who needs training wheels.

The so called Cuban Missile Crisis was a scary time as I've learned, but at least we had two leaders at the helms who had some brains, and avoided WWIII. Today we have Kim and "The Hair". Is anybody else a little edgy on this current edition? Maybe Trump has a fortified bunker under Mar A Laga so he stays close.

On that subject, you can't get Trump supporters at the other place to argue with you either. They won't even acknowledge the point.   "yeah well benghazi or something."

Trump decides to go all interventionist in the middle east after campaigning against exactly that?  "yeah well Obama wiretaps or something."

Under Mar a Lago he would probably need a submarine.

So it seems the Commander in Chief can't keep track of what his navy is up to. That is "reassuring".
