With all the rhetoric about Russian collusion and no evidence at the present to validate the accusations.

1. Exactly what does Russia gain with a Trump Administration that affects our National Security? Foreign interference is common in elections even by the U.S.

2. Why do you believe the Trump administration would conspire with Russia?

3. Do you believe Vice President Pence or Congress would go along with this idea?

1. Nothing; the Trump administration will be tougher than the Obama administration was or the Hillary administration would have been. This whole Russia controversy is manufactured by the Dems to cover for their election losses.
2. Never.
3. Never.

CW3 Ed Vincent - A damned I may be but the fact you believe we are in a better state than we ever were just means you appreciate the policies put in place prior to his arrival since the impacts of any policy he has changed takes a few years to actually impact the economy and cannot be truly measured yet with the exception of taxes and that will surely wreak havoc on those that saw that small increase in their checks only to have their taxes at the end of the year significantly increase since many middle class exemptions have been eliminated or reduced. I would have expected a better response from a fellow Warrant but that just tells me more about the person you are have a great day.

The former Chief Executive had absolutely no experience in operations management, or even making money, hell, as far as I can tell he's never held a job! And you believe his policies of kowtowing to every world leader and strangling small business has led to the prosperity we see today? I still remember him telling us that 1-2% growth is the new normal and to get used to it! Trump hit the ground running and has been responsible for eliminating 27 regulations for every new one implemented. That's how to kick-start the economy. Add the tax cut, and the result is 4.5% sustained growth! Then there's the fact that there are currently 7 million job openings and only 6 million unemployed. Yeah, Trump is doing a terrible job and things would have been so much better if H had won. Pull your head out and look around, I think you missed something.

This is a question that I imagine is being asked by all who have succumbed to the fear-mongering of the Left. No one honestly believes that Trump is cackling in his sleeve, like a villain from a melodrama after tying the heroine to the railroad tracks. But that is the image the Left fosters to derail his attempts to derail their agenda. In truth, I believe that the Left honestly believes that they have the only answer to all of America's problems and they are in a snit because America rejected them. We the People elected Donald Trump to do exactly what he is doing, and that makes me smile. So does the pain of the Left...

and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Seanatoror Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the united States,. shall [this is not optional here] shall be appointed an Elector. The key word here Marine is 'Elector. It is the body of Electors that vote for the President and not necessarily "the" majority number of popular votes, because if it was that way then Boston, NYC, SanFran, L/A, Chicago and only the largest of cities would vote in crap and shove it down your throat. If you were from fly over country you just wouldn't exist. You might be a good Marine but to be a better one go read your Constitution. Will the President throw the military under the bus? Is that the question? It's a good question and a scary one; the question shows how low we've sunk as a country, that that question has to be asked at all. The American fighting man has been sold down the river consistently from the Kennedy Administration going forward through ALL Administrations with the possible exception of the Nixon/Reagan Administration/s. The Texas good ole' boy Lyndon thought he was an Admiral? or was it General? [with his huckie dummie ya'll crap] until he started something he found out was going to be tougher than he thought it would be and then lost his knees at Tet, the exact moment that we had it won that Walter Kronkite lied to us about on TV standing on the steps of the American Embassy in Saigon. Richard M. Nixon was a dislikeable sonofabitch but he at least knew how to win in VietNam [make no mistake VietNam was a hard fought bloody victory and the Paris Peace Accords say so]. North VietNam signed the Accords as the defeated party and was forced to recognize the autonomy and independence of South VietNam [that's on record] The peace was lost in the succeeding postWatergate Nixon/Ford Administration when the defence appropriations for the country of South VietNam were stripped out of the budget by Communist sympathizers in the Senate [and that's on record too]. President Carter clearly threw the armed forces under the bus denying long overdue pay raises so he could by Teacher votes paying for an unconstitutioinal Department of Education; he even ordered an unarmed rescue attempt of the American Embassy hostages in Tehran. We all know how that ended. President Reagan rebuilt the armed forces over the objections of gutless RINOs and only used them to crushing degree when he had to. Both Bush administrations are a disgrace; Daddie and Junior never saw a war that they didn't like that they weren't afraid to win. Dame Thatcher had to tell George "...now George this is NOT the time to go wobbly...". He did not listen to "the Bear" [General Schwarzkopf] and go into Baghdad and settle it once and for all, all half assed and they continued to still kill, rape, and maim Christians [the lucky ones] Jews? they just killed, routinely without let-up. "Junior" all hat no cattle 'Iraqi Freedom' was 'Desert Storm' redux and he still left it all unfinished; a the exact moment we had won in Ramadi this boy lost his legs and trned it over to the Iraqis., corrupt, homicidal, and tribal; he went fetl and botched it. The l;ast occupant of the Oval Office hated this country hated tis country clear and simple. He even went so far as to have all Atlantic Fleet Carriers docked at once in Norfolk; if anyone wanted to have a really big 'Peral Harbor they lost their chance there. I thinlk this President wil do right by the armed forces. I know about VuetNam I was there. I unmderstand your question Marine; it's a natural one because you have never lived in a country that's had to kill its way out of situation and win a War since 1945 and Tokyo Bay. We've killed lost of folks that really needed killing; we haven't won a thing; a.

SFC Anthony Bennett - Other pilots aboard the Forrestal and the Oriskany aircraft carriers that he knew. I have spoken to former POWs who were held with him some there before him, some after he was shot down. It is thought he gave up information on the 1967 Forrestal fire, the 1966 fire aboard the Oriskany which was classified information at that time. He may have also given up target selection information to the North Vietnamese, which could explain the increase rate aircraft were shot down between 1968 and 1971. Targets had better AAA protection after 1967.

PO2 David Dunlap - I think you need to remove your head from your @$$. How much are you getting from the tax cuts, how much will you be paying back at the end of the year? The border wall, Mexico is suppose to pay for what happened to that? The tax cuts for the wealthy, who do you think is going to pay for that? Cuts in your SSN, Medicare, crappy healthcare, taking away pre-existing conditions, rolling back EPA? Please tell me who is this going to benefit, damn sure not the middle and low income families. Look at the BIGGER PICTURE. One thing I do agree with you on and that is GO
D did allow your president to become president. Not for gratification, because his children has lost their way. We are putting things before him. My GOD is a very jealous GOD. He does not like the direction we are going in. This is all GOD works.

Remember back in 2008 when Obama told Medvedev that he would be able to give him more once re-elected? A sitting President offering a sitting Russian President a better treaty on nuclear weapons in their favor is far worse than anything Trump's team has done.

SFC Anthony Bennett - Obama did not offer a better treaty for the US, he was offering something better to the Russians once his election was done. He was worried his actions on behalf of the Russians could effect his election thus the reason he offered for after the election. Much worse than anything Trump as been accused with no proof, there is proof Obama wanted to do things on behalf of the Russians and not his own citizens.

The Russia stuff is just an over reaction of Liberals that have conditioned society to believe ignorance is equal to logic. Liberal media complained about a photo where Trumps campaign manager was sitting on a couch instead of focusing on the $26 million he was giving to Historically Black Colleges. More that 6 times the amount Obama dedicated to them over his 8 year tenure.

How in this world can anyone not see what the trump and Gop is doing to our once great country. The language alone (vulgar) is about as low as one could be, and the lies and life style and lack of knowledge on every partial of Government is earth shattering. It’s the blind trying to lead something they know not one thing about. Never, ever thought I would have seen anything like this ever in our country. It will be extremely difficult for the Country to ever recover from this disaster.

Its all hype! A president that demonstrates his loyalty to America; his word and promises during the campaign; his individual acts of compassion for our brothers in combat cannot be a person who would throw America under a bus. I believe he will make America Great Again.

Sir, please cite an example of DJT's "individual acts of compassion for our brothers in combat". As I recall it, he collected money in the name of veterans but did not hand any over until *after* reporters called him on it. He also promised money to a Gold Star dad but failed to pay anything until *after* it hit the media. He has also attacked Gold Star families. What "his individual acts of compassion" are you speaking of; especially acts that he did not tout in the press???

CPT Larry Hudson - Sir, still waiting for those example of DJT's "individual acts of compassion for our brothers in combat". To save time/effort arguing, please avoid claiming DJT did things as POTUS for items established or in the works prior to him actually becoming POTUS. If you have a good example, go ahead and post it, but DJT is notorious for saying things that didn't happen or take credit for things he didn't really do.

1. Russia gains leverage and favor that benefit it through decreased sanctions and opposition when it tries to secure more land - ie the Ukraine. It also gains favor for trade programs with the US. And it gains support for its actions against ISIS - even if they aren't really against ISIS.
2. I plead the 5th.

PO2 David Dunlap - You know, I keep hearing about how we "gave BILLIONS to Iran." But, that's not what happened.

Here's the short version:
Back in the day, Iran and the US were buddies. Iran put a deposit of $400 million down on fighter planes from the US. Before they were delivered, the leadership of Iran was overthrown. President Carter stopped any shipment of arms to Iran AND wouldn't give their deposit back. Iran had some hostages from the US. As part of a negotiated release, Iran and the US agreed to some arbitration for LOTS of things. One of those things included the $400 million deposit on fighter jets.

In 2016, arbitration finished on that deal and the US agreed to pay back to $400 million plus interest which is where that BILLIONS of dollars came from.

It was a 100% legal international court proceeding. There was no "giving" of anything - it was Iran's money to begin with.

So, you can either keep repeating the same nonsense that everyone else does, or you can do the research yourself and see if you change your opinion.

PO2 David Dunlap - Ignorance IS bliss. And definitely helps people to maintain their biased opinions in the face of facts. Ignore me all you want, it doesn't make you any more right, but it does mean that you've chosen to remain ignorant of the facts - even when they are right in front of you. Much like the "flat-Earthers." But, hey, if you've given up on intellectual integrity - that's on you.

1) What Russia gains is the ability to take advantage of the $500 Billion investment in drilling for Russian oil made by Exxon before the sanctions were imposed on Russia after it invaded Ukraine.
2) The Trump administration de-facto IS throwing America under the bus, when POTUS goes off the rails with his tweets, leaving uncertainty in the world about his policies (if he had policies instead of tweets!), with his clearly unconstitutional Executive order(s) and his blatantly ignorant refusal to even listen to intelligence professionals about our national security.
3) I don't know what VP Pence would "go along" with POTUS-T's ideas. Unfortunately, the people that Trump really listens to are the Bannons, the Conways, the other far-right/let's ignore the Constitution mind set people who can't/won't get organized enough to try to effectively run our government.

LTC Donell Kelly The only tactic the left wing has to work with is fear, deceit, and division. They have no facts, so they manufacture their own. The previous administration set the unthinkable precedent of shredding the Constitution and using it for toilet paper. The left wing "Progressives", made our country a joke to the rest of the world. We are finally pulling back from the edge of the abyss, and restoring our Constitutional Republic. All of the economic indicators are trending upward, and our freedoms, that the left were rapidly stealing, are being restored. Finally, our military is being rebuilt after being gutted, and decimated by the America hating Obama Administration. The list goes on, and on.
