What's the point in escalating the NK situation? Why waste time and effort on them? Are they a threat to the US? If so, please explain. Aside from being a nasty piece of work, we have little to fear from NK. As for our good friend SK, we will not let the north move against them again. Kim knows this. Let him splash rockets in the sea, I don't want to show our capabilities against goading from a dictator of NK which has little ability to make war.

I'd say that a mad man with nuclear weapons that are likely capable of reaching anywhere in the U.S. is absolutely a threat to us.

I’m not the one that has an issue with athletes who choose to take a knee during the national anthem to point out a systemic problem. I could care less, and I support my fellow citizens exercising their constitutional rights toward expression of speech.

...


Show me a law, regulation, or even taboo that requires standing during the National Anthem, and I’ll happily concede. Otherwise, why try stomping on someone’s rights to free speech?

This is not a constitutional issue, this is a business issue. The government is not making any efforts to restrict or prohibit speech. This is a private organization that is allowing players to use their stadiums and national television platforms to make social statements. That's fine and if they want to allow that, they're welcome to do so. The fans are also welcome not to attend, watch, or purchase merchandise.

The problem is that it's akin to being sorry for getting caught. Ratings are down, profits are down and attendance is down and the NFL is trying to recover from that. If they believed that players should honor the flag and country then they would've said that from the start instead of doubling down.

Theory and Practice don't intersect, unfortunately.

Glad to see you posting again!

It's at these times that politics should be set aside so that we can put our focus on where it needs to be: helping those in the affected areas. These are the times where our country unites and shows the true character of America and her citizens. Whether it's a hurricane in Texas, an earthquake or a fire in California or flooding in North Dakota, there are people who are in need right now. If someone has the ability and desire to help, they should. That can be a monetary donation, sending supplies, etc.

His methods are working very well, hence the progressives and MSM demanding he get off of social media.

Disagree. The media are loving his tweets and there are a lot of conservatives who think he should stop with the inane tweeting. That doesn't mean stop tweeting altogether, just stop with the inane tweets.

His tweeting is distracting from what his message should be. There are some good things getting done but instead of tweeting about that he's too busy tweeting about a reporter's facelift or of him body slamming CNN.

Yet another article has come out discussing the possibility of Kennedy's retirement at the end of next week. With any luck, he'll retire and enjoy his retirement and Trump will get to nominate another Gorsuch type to the Court.

Yep, that's the narrative the MSM wants you to believe.  Wonder why the MSM hates Trump using social media?   That's because he bypasses them and keeps them from taking his comments and editing them into soundbites so they can attempt to control what comes from him.  How dare the President state his opinion without the consent of the MSM.

Nonsense. It's obvious the President has the ability to use Twitter and speak directly to the American people. He isn't helping himself with many of his tweets, though. He can't stop himself from tweeting and when it's something new, the media goes crazy over it for obvious reasons. When the leader of the free world speaks, people listen regardless of the medium through which he speaks.

Bullshit. There is a lot of twisting and contorting by the liberal progressives in order to make it appear there was wrong doing when it's been proven over and over there was not.

The Russians attempting to interfere in the election isn't concerning? Kushner trying to establish a back channel with the Russians using their embassy equipment isn't concerning? It can be true that these things are concerning but not illegal. It can be true that these things are dumb and show Trump and his team's inexperience and not be illegal.

This idea that Trump is 100% correct and hasn't done anything wrong or hasn't hurt his own agenda is silly.
