Trump First Annual Budget Deficit Rises to a Six Year High

The meeting with Kim Jon Un was in the Korean dictator's self interest. For years he's been trying to get respect by having an American leader meet with him. This would be like the leader of Israel meeting with the leader of Iran and getting nothing done. The person who is moving towards real peace is the President of S. Korea.

It is our troops over there and our challenge to China's trade barriers and our military that is on the front line. China, Iran, North Korea, and Cuba are all tied up together.

And the national debt stands at 21.67 Trillion dollars.


I admit it, I'm disappointed.

But then again, what would it be if Hillary had been elected.

The disappointment is buffered somewhat in that 1.4 trillion is going towards national defense in the next two years.

Yes, and?...

Sometimes the best interests of two factions can come together.

Was it a good or bad thing that Trump met face-to-face with Kim Jong Un?

Don't people have a legal right to vote the way they want? The SBC is a hot mess--if they have any leadership anymore, it is not political. Franklin Graham is a para-church organization and Falwell is a Fundamentalist, and they have no denominational structure. These minorities are vastly outweighed by the liberal churches such as the extremely wealthy Episcopal Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Indianapolis where more illegal immigration is encouraged perhaps to help their benefactor Lilly Corporation with lower labor costs.

The main problem that Dems have is that Hillary had taken so much money over the years and had told so many lies that no one wanted her in the White House. Her husband Bill Clinton is guilty of extreme sexual abuse and yet he walks around totally free. Probably the overwhelming number of ecclesial endorsements, including Pope Francis, went to Hillary.

That's not a valid argument. What would it be is GW Bush hadn't been president?

The SBC dominates Christianity in the U.S. View attachment 2526

How does anyone dominate Christianity in the USA? The leadership is now liberal. Abortion is still legal, is still done in large numbers daily. Sodomy has been exalted in America more than in any other country in the world. Debt is $30,000 for every person in the world. Seems as if you yourself have gotten your way.

Absurd. Politics accomplishes very little. The Dems won abortion, same sex marriage and overgrown rank government. Now the Dems are suppressing free speech on the internet.
Trump has virtually destroyed our diplomatic corps, the EPA, public education and is now attacking Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. He has turned our allies against us and brought us to the brink of nuclear war.

He has spurred on hatred between various factions in the U.S. and encouraged violence. He has done tremendous harm to true Christianity by mouthing platitudes he doesn't believe and getting large numbers of professing Christians to support him as their "Christian-Republican" savior.

We were already there when he came to office

Man, I thought that we were friends! You should have warned me to fasten my seatbelt before I read your post.

Were you talking about the diplomatic corps in Libya? Or how about the homosexual ambassador that he pawned off on Germany, who might just be the new homosexual UN ambassador?

Public Education? Did you mean like in Chicago? Social Security? You can always do better in Cuba, no? Havana is a lovely city of 500 years of age with no repairs since 1959 so it is a great place for bohemians.

The brink of nuclear war? North Korea has stood down for the time being, awaiting further instructions from China, but Iran is busy buying stuff from Europe to build the big bomb with the money that the Dems gave them. Our Allies? Europeans always look down their noses at us--just ask them.

Encouraged violence? Now I know that you are talking about Waters, who is really angry because so many blacks are going back to the GOP.

True Christianity? Trump has never spoken much about that as far as I know. One time the beautiful Melania said the Lord's Prayer in public. I was for Ted Cruz for President, but I am happy to see Ted beating "Beto" the beta guy real bad out there in Texas where the men are men and the women are glad of it, as they used to say down in the Big Bend area.

No, you should have told me to fasten my seatbelt. You remind me of the guy who was speeding the wrong way on the divided highway last night and caused me to swerve at the last minute to avoid a head-on collision.

No matter Kim was detonating nukes and flying missiles before President Trump's day due to the administration being asleep at the helm.

Trump made new rules.
What has changed? A real nuclear alarm was never set off before due to N. Korea. Trump is perceived by the world as very weak.

Yes, it must be that bunker buster bomb he dropped in Afghanistan.
Or maybe it was when he took out a Syrian airbase with cruise missiles.
Or maybe it was when he bombed the Syrian chemical factory and other government targets after they had used chemical weapons on citizens.
Or perhaps it was asking for, and getting, a 7% increase in military funding.
Ummm...it could have been his appointment of "Mad Dog" Mattis as Secretary of Defense.
Or perhaps his announcement of an entirely new branch of the military--Space Force.
Or else it's his insistence that NATO members pay more to support NATO.
How about when he increased troops in Afghanistan?
When he fired James Comey?
Expelling Russian diplomats?
Slapping new sanctions on Russian oligarchs?
Staring down Canada and Mexico over NAFTA and getting a new agreement.
Putting fresh sanctions on Iran.
Pulling out of the Iran agreement.
Pulling out of the Paris Environmental Accords.

All these signs of weakness. Do you have any other examples?
