At least we know where his job stimulus funds are going. I hope how he intends to deal with AGW isn't by nuclear winter.

How would anyone in the world feel safe, now that we have 3 idiots in the world in control of nukes? :-O

Having 2 was bad enough.

I thought Hillary was supposed to be the hawk, but it looks like the other candidate is a warmonger, just like shrub and his daddy from the same party.

Here we go again :(
Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin agree: Let’s revive the nuclear arms race

Trump and Putin's comments suggest a possible reversal of that direction, but it's not entirely clear what Trump mean with “until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes.” Perhaps it means: As long as Russia's revamping its own arsenal.

What if businesses – particularly small businesses – become confident for the first time that as a minimum conditions won’t get any worse? And start thinking about expanding? Lower taxes, a repeal of Obamacare and a meaningful rollback of meaningless, pointless, burdensome business regulations... Revenues grow for the first time in years...

Growing revenues go to raises and hiring others. Demand for employees increase. Household incomes begin to rise for the first time in more than a decade.

Idle cash goes back into circulation. Banks get relief from Dodd-Frank, which allows increased lending.

Buildings get built. Equipment gets replaced. New branches and new territories start being opened up.

Business values come back up, making it economically feasible to sell businesses to a new generation of owners. Resulting cap gains go back into the economy rather than being locked up because businesses can't expand or sell.

The American economy picks up, causes some entrepreneurs to "go for it" and try a business they've been thinking about. Proven hard workers are funded by parents and family to try it.

In short, the increased economic activity of the 80's returns.

The increased economic growth creates increased tax revenue which not only offsets any rate cuts but provides enough to actually balance the budget, or even begin to pay off the debt.

Around the world, imagine those causing problems in the world starting to think twice before causing more trouble. Imagine our allies trusting us again and our adversaries fearing us again. Imagine America resuming its leadership role in the defense of world peace again.

Just ask yourself, who wants to scorch this earth?

Supporters of the God of Abraham? Some call for Apocalypse, some for Jihad but they all desire glorious suicide so they can see their fictional deity in the sky sooner.

Heck, even the anti-religion state of DPRK wants suicide for glory!

So the answer to your question is mentally ill persons want to scorch this earth.

According to this fake news site, it's not just the US and Russia who are nuclear capable.


What definition of fake news are you using? Both sites you posted are legitimate sites.

You're getting warm. Can you get a bit more specific?

Of those who really believe in Abraham's God, not the fakers, they are all identical. The fakers say they believe but they leave the door open to doubt or science. They make up the vast majority of those who profess belief; they also are generally harmless. I know that believers think others are different, but they are not. They think that trivia such as the color of God's eyes is vital to believing and it is in their dogma. The only important factor is they believe that their God is real and their dogma is real, like the ground they stand upon.

It is harmless for a child to have a belief in an invisible friend whom they converse with, but an adult?! That is the issue, they believe in a omnipotent god who wants to interfere with their life and will judge them at death based on doing what they are told to do. That drives them to the insanity of the glory of suicide.

I know you believe the ones who believe in green iridescent eyes for their God of Abraham are more murderous than those that believe in red metallic eyes for their God of Abraham, but it isn't true. Same God of Abraham, same lust for the glory of suicide so they will have done as their delusion called for.

A vast majority of the geographical area of the country voted for Trump...


If only it weren't for all that gerrymandering and disproportante population vs electoral votes vs land area, things would look a lot different.

In case you missed it, I'm pointing out that Trump didn't win the popular vote.


edit: Even Putin is glad Trump was elected...
Looks like the Russians are going to be our friends. This is a good thing.

[sarcasm]
And Trump is on board too! And they are expanding their military! AWESOME![/sarcasm]

Do you see where this goes yet...??

Must be nice to be king.

I'll be glad when this guy quits squandering my money on his personal pleasure.


Yea, then we can finally afford the secret service to secure Trump tower in addition to the white house. Even better, the secret service will likely be paying a lease to Trump. I'm so glad the money squandering is over! Our new totaliarian dictator will be nothing like a 'king'! high five

Let me now thank myself for the great economy I'm inheriting from someone else:
Thanks Ex!

also,
-"Presidents pay for their own and their families’ lodging, food and incidentals while on vacation,"
-"taxpayers pay the salaries of White House staffers and Secret Service agents whether the president stays in Washington or not, so a presidential vacation does not significantly increase personnel costs"
Source.

Trump Tower is much more presidential than the white house.

I expect the secret service will get an "at cost" lease. ...


Good thing costs are reasonable at Trump tower. And certainly, an ode to lavish life and exorbitant spending- how presidential indeed.
