Time for a little obligatory copsucking...

Time for a little obligatory copsucking...

A little? This entire speech might as well be about how we need a strong police state.

 

[devil21]

"An attack on police is an attack on all Americans."

"I am the law and order candidate!"


WE ARE SO FUCKED!

 

[euphemia]

Keep it up. Thomas Sowell says poverty does not cause crime. Crime causes poverty.

 

[bunklocoempire]

Cops didn't smoke any of those FLA folks... right?

 

[CaptUSA]

Time to call for moar surveillance. Damn this guy.

 

[Antischism]

"Hey guys. We're going to stomp out an ideology somehow, and really fast. To do this, I have suggested putting troops on the ground! Oh, and by the way, Israel is our greatest ally, and we're going to work with them."

 

[CaptUSA]

Oh... But Israel!!!

I literally don't think I've heard the word constitution once yet.

Hope you're not holding your breath.

 

[euphemia]

Actually, nation building was Bush 43's idea. It has been aggressively perpetuated by Obama/Clinton.

 

[devil21]

I literally don't think I've heard the word constitution once yet.

Yeah, wait for it. It'll come. Any moment now.............

Any moment now..............

Here it comes.

Oh wait, no. Any moment now...............

Soon..................

(This has gotta be about what mid 30's Germany felt like, listening to political speeches)

Great speech so far for a political neophyte.

lol. Of course you think so.


He could shoot someone on stage and you'd love it. You've bought the con.

 

[devil21]

What he neglects to mention is that the Chinese will be running the factories here (Foxconn anyone?) and the coal and other resources mined in slave conditions sent overseas to pay off the government's creditors.

I didn't buy any con. A man is defined by the quality of his enemies and Trump has that in spades. Hopefully, he sees his promises through and doesn't cave. That's all we can do as voters at this juncture.

 

[Jeffster]

Trump will wave his magic wand and fix everything! He'll teach those cheating Chinese people a lesson!

Holy smokes, he just said "pay their fair share"

This guy makes McCain look like a libertarian by comparison.

 

[CaptUSA]

Whew. We're going to rebuild our depleted military! Because 10X our next competitor just isn't enough.

lol. "Hope"

That sure sounds familiar. Do you mean like his vp choice?




The mark never realizes he's been conned. That's why they work.

I have no doubt he would see his promises through. The devil is in the details, however. The petrodollar standard that has led to the relative prosperity (albeit debt based but prosperity nonetheless) of the country is ending and all of his promises are effects of becoming a debtor nation that is being foreclosed on.
