IDK about you guys but a lame duck president should not be starting new wars

No one should be starting wars, really, there are better things to be doing with life.

Best idea I can think of right now would be if every country handed in 10% of their nuclear weapon collection every 6 months. Everyone.

From what I know of nuclear disarmament opinions this would be generally agreeable, as long as it wasn't just these countries with 8 nukes have to give all of them in while their enemy with a huge pile can keep all of them.

No President should be able to start a war without Congressional approval, but alas.

In 2011 Donald Trump had more sense:


um, I should have watched that first, not so good, not sure his idea would have worked out well in the long term, not taking the moral high ground either.

I'm not sure we live in that type of World anymore ...

He is still the President and is not a lame duck quite yet

A few times in the past the US has been on the point of going DEFCON 2 with nuclear weapons and would have been wrong on every one of them. We all need to start defusing the situation.

We could start at the beginning and stop hating in the first place, there might be something in the Bible about that.

Than shouldn't he act like one? Instead of that like that crazy uncle some people have who's never met a conspiracy theory he didn't believe?

A real President puts his country before his own miserable misery. He doesn't give in to his baser instincts of revenge, selfishness, brute meanness, etc.

Oh oh ! I wouldn’t put it past trump to start a war just to try to stay in power

Well, NZ has no nuclear weapons.
We don't even have nuclear powered transport.
No country in the world is allowed to come here with a nuclear powered ship.

Because of this restriction USA disbanded ANZUS (Australia New Zealand USA military pact).
The country crying the loudest about other countries having nuclear weapons is the USA
The country with the most nuclear weapons is the USA.
The country doing the most development of nuclear weapons is the USA.

Cute.. I like the "conspiracy" theory. Hmm So the left says "no fraud happened" <--this was said at right after CNN and others called the election.. Hmm gee have they changed the wording now? Yes yes the have. So the right says this "fraud" the right talks about is a conspiracy theory.


Yet hundreds.. ooh take a guess how many complaints there are for just ONE state. Then each of those people sign an affidavit. Lets make this real. Anyone that says Jesus Christ came in the flesh died on the cross was buried rose the 3rd day... yeah belong to a God. I would defend ANYONE here this same way if they talked about you as Christians are talking about President Trump. Truth is.. its my kid were talking about. President Donald J Trump that was prophesied would be president before 2014. So.. God had a hand in this. Don't like his talk or policy's praise GOD... lets not keep making this personal huh.. haha

"Before you sign an affidavit, keep in mind that there are legal consequences to signing an affidavit with false facts. Since you are signing a document under oath, it is the same as testifying in a court of law. If you provide information that is false or lie on the affidavit, you could be fined for perjury.

He is angry, very, very angry.

TFW when "asked what options he had" becomes "wants to start a war". About what I'd expect from a propaganda rag that condones racism.

I took the liberty of removing everything in your post that didn't have anything to do with the OP of the thread...if you'd like to discuss affidavits shouldn't you start a thread about that?

If a new SCOTUS judge can be sworn in mere days before the election, then a lame-duck president can start a new war. Welcome to MAGA!

"The left" isn't a homogeneous whole. And it doesn't speak with a singular voice

Also, "the left" didn't say "no fraud happened". A lot of US media outlets - particularly cable news and (broadsheet style) news papers - said there is no good evidence of widespread fraud.

Yes, lets.

Have you looked at the affidavits? I have. As have others. There were no allegations of widespread voter fraud, but lots of evidence of inconsequential and very human errors, along with a lot of people not understanding howelections work, or misunderstanding what was actually going on.

...is this the part where we say: "he lost the election, everyone just needs to get over it!"? Because that would feel eerily familiar.
