Linda never met a war she didn’t like.
The “Caucus for Perpetual War” hates Trump. These “national security” experts are a whos who of K Street Defense Contractor lobbying.
Just another example of the corruption in the GOPE. It not about the best way to defend the USA, it about keeping the defense contract money flowing out of the treasury.
Conservative have got to wake up. We are BROKE. We cannot have any sacred cows in the Fed Budget. ALL of it is going to have to be reduced.
The neo-con-artists and their open borders toadies are the ones waging war on Trump. They hate it that he doesn’t come crawling to them to beg for their money. They hate him because he wants our country to actually be a country with borders, and they hate him because he routinely attacks their media lapdogs. They are afraid that if Trump becomes president, and they inevitably start howling and yapping for another war in the Middle East, he may not pay attention to them.
Trump caps night of wins with victory in Hawaii caucuses
HONOLULU -— Donald Trump has won the Hawaii Republican presidential caucuses, claiming the last prize in a night of victories for the Republican front-runner.
Wind, rain and long lines didn’t keep the state’s passionate voters from the polls to decide how the Republican presidential candidates would split the state’s 19 delegate votes.
“Our votes here might be a small vote, but nevertheless, we’re here to do our duty,” said Al Carvalho, 49, who co-owns a contracting business with his wife. “I’m voting for Donald Trump because I’m tired of the career politicians, and I’m willing to give somebody else a chance.”
Trump took to Twitter to note his night-capper:
Uh...What’s a warmonger?
Somebody who believes in protecting America from Islamo-Terrorist attacks?
Defending our freedom from Communists?
“Warmongers” being a code word for “Israel,” I suppose?
I doubt that. Trump is probably a man after their own heart. Trump has said several times that his solution for Syria is to create a "big, beautiful" safe zone for them. He's expanded on that by saying somehow he will get the Gulf States to pay for it, but creating it and maintaining it will still take tens of thousands of troops and we're the only ones who would provide them.
He says he will rebuild the military after all these years of use and overuse. This alone is a great deterrent!
Another example is how the things Trump has said about waterboarding, for example, are taken very seriously by the very people who would most likely be waterboarded.
They believe him and so do I.
I like that. I like that a lot.
One of the fundamental flaws of our foreign policy has been that we assume every country and every society can handle democracy, and we force it upon them, when often democracy in these uncivilized places amounts to no more than "mob rule".
An evil dictator is sometimes better than the alternative and is often the glue that holds a country together. Besides Iraq, Yugoslavia is an excellent example. Nothing but war and genocide after Tito. Qaddafi and Libya were actually helping us until Madam Benghazi decided it might be a feather in her cap for her ascendancy to the presidency to be "The Liberator of Libya". What we got is a failed nation-state with multiple groups that hate us and breeding ground for al queda and mozlem extremists.
? “I’m not sure what Trump wants to do with this bigger, better, and stronger military,”
Sullum was doing Ok until that blurb. The reason Trump wants the military so strong is just as he has said countless times, “so that we never have to use it”.
There is no difference with Trump’s big stick approach to military matters than there is in having a home arsenal to guard against home invasion. Criminals will not think to trespass if they know they are likely to get whacked.
Really very simple.
When every GOP candidate, and the DC Defense lobby “Caucus for perceptual war” were busy pushing for an armed confrontation with Russia over Syria last fall, Trump was the only one who said “Fighting Russia over Syria on behalf of ISIS is nuts, we would be stupid to do that”.
