Just at a glance, the guys wiki page looks good. He did do a great job shredding budgetary waste and left New Mexico in better shape than where he started.
But sometimes its just plain fun to rip on a guy when he looks like he just did a mega bong rip of the blue Buda.
In all honesty, when I first heard of the battle of Allepo, I thought it was over my favorite Penzy’s selection. The stuff is great on a pizza.
You have to understand that a lot of people have a Hollywood like thinking of how decisions are made. “Mr President we need a decision this instant whether to drop the nuke!”
In reality the President makes major decisions over the course of several hours if not days while surrounded by advisors.
So you have no basis for claiming Scarborough is lying? That’s fine, if that’s what you want to do, I was just curious if you had anything to substantiate it.
I get that and I don’t think that any sane person would use nuclear weapons as a first resort. But there’s a lot of hate for Trump coming from usmc. When you hate someone you are willing to believe the worst about that person regardless of the truth.
Don’t take it the wrong way but you have to stand behind the anti Trump posts you been slinging for months now. Now you say Trump wants to use nuclear weapons and he really never said that. I don’t want to fight about it just calling it as I see it.
Journalist’s quote anonymous sources all of the time. That is not unusual and there is no way for me to fact check his anonymous source. You’ll have to take your gripe up with the Washington Post.
I do.
According to Scarborough’s anonymous source he did.
Trump also told Chris Matthews he couldn’t rule out the use of nuclear weapons.
Matthews bewilderedly asked, “You might use it in Europe?”
Trump said “I don’t think so,” but when Matthews pressed him to give a straight answer, Trump again said he can’t take any cards off the table.
You like to argue online I know I read your stuff. I am not going to go there. But I will say that no President should rule out the use of nuclear weapons should they? It’s like Obama telling our enemies when we were going to draw down troops in Iraq.
I never claimed Trump wanted to nuke the middle east. I said:
As in, he doesn’t seem to grasp why we shouldn’t use nuclear weapons in general. This is based on a number of sources including the Post, but also the Matthews interview.
The article is called, "Dear Donald Trump: Here is why we don’t simply nuke the Islamic State.
It doesn’t claim he wants to nuke the middle east either.
“If you cannot fact check the source then you sholdn’t be posting it.”
That’s a pretty ridiculous standard. Anonymous sources kicked off the entire watergate investigation and scandal.
If an anonymous source had information on Hillary Clinton’s missing emails it would be posted 1,000x over on this site.
I find it pretty funny that everyone seemed to just scroll past two posters insinuating Gary Johnson ran a pot business in an obvious effort to smear him while being completely wrong.
Joe S. made the allegation, right? So maybe it’s true, and maybe it isn’t.
The thing is, nobody had a hard time believing it because we all know generally that Trump is the stupidest (and, relatedly, most ignorant) major presidential candidate in American history and specifically that he doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground “when it comes to nuclear” (to borrow his own appallingly stupid, toddler-talk wording).
We know that he’d never heard of the nuclear triad, which describes a decades-old, basic organizing principle of American nuclear weapons capability. We know furthermore that he was too parodically stupid to figure out what the nuclear triad was even after it was literally handed to him as a paint-by-numbers description embedded within the moderator’s question.
Similarly, we know that he doesn’t understand even the most basic principles of nuclear non-proliferation, even going so far as to suggest that maybe what the world really needs is some more nuclear tension in the far fuckin’ east.
Add to this all of the general markers of Trump’s spectacular and unique stupidity – his unfamiliarity with the most basic things about the United States Constitution, his inability to speak in coherent adult English sentences, his promise that Putin will not be going into Ukraine…the list quite literally goes on and on – and what we have is one VERY plausible Morning Joe story about Donald Trump being a know-nothing dumbass on the topic of nuclear politics.
Look you just keep going don’t you? I will repeat what I said before no President should ever rule out the use of any weapon in the defense of this country or in some cases another country. Like I said no sane person will use nukes as a first resort. And like I said Trump never said what you are saying he said anyway. I read the article. you got a big hard on for Trump don’t you?
He started as a one-man handyman business and grew it into one of the largest construction companies in NM. He went on to become a tax-slashing governor. I’m old enough to remember when that would bring a year to the Republican eye as the most authentic kind of conservatism - an American success story who took the values of the American Dream that allowed him and his hard work to become a success story and translated them into a fine tenure as governor.
Now, he’s slandered as bush league by (many) Republicans in favor of a…wait for it…born-rich Democrat who’s never read the Constitution.
No, I am not. That is completely ridiculous actually. I am claiming that Trump doesn’t understand why we can’t just nuke people. That doesn’t mean I’m claim Trump WANTS TO use nuclear weapons. I seriously doubt he want to use nuclear weapons.
I mean, are you just trolling me?
According to you.
And I didn’t write that Trump wants to “just nuke people”.
You’ve completely bastardized what I’ve written.
And I think you should read what people write more closely.
