Re: POTUS 45.45: The Wall or a Shut Down. Your Choice Pelosi!!!!!!

Way back in 2015(?), a number of posters, on both sides of the aisle, wanted a smaller US military presence overseas.

What's changed?

I and many posters want less spending on stupid expenditures - like guns and bodies that sit around. We do support cyber security, etc. Most of us don't want lots of militiary adventures...but are open to force used when absolutely necessarily. Some of us don't mind playing tough with tyrants like Putin...but rather less so with 100 migrants in southern Mexico. None of this has changed.

Conservative posters on the site have changed. Those on the right may have wanted a reduced military in 2015 - this after wrongly selling us on the critical nature of an Iraq invasion and occupation for the previous decade plus. ISIS thanks you.

While I can't speak for them, I would assume the expediency of the withdrawal is the problem. There's no transition, no discussions with regional leaders; just a Tweet and a giant vacuum awaiting Russia, China, or someone else to step in.

We no longer have adults in the room while national security decisions are being made.

That's correct. It would be nice to know the decision was not like most of his 3:00 a.m. what would be good for me now decisions. Even the most deluded among us knows that Trump doesn't have the interest or discipline to be thoroughly prepared.

And a large number of his supporters just don't care.

I'm assuming this was a bone to Erdogan to get him to lay off the Khashoggi killing.


"I'll let you massacre the Kurds, just shut up about the Saudis."

I'm convinced Trump sees Erdogan as a kindred spirit. Erdogan has turned into a man with strongman aspirations.

The whiner-in-chief on the enhanced security for Air Force One on the way to Iraq:

"But if you would have seen what we had to go through, with the darkened plane with all windows closed, with no lights on whatsoever, anywhere, pitch black, I’ve never seen that, been on many airplanes, all types and shapes and sizes, I’ve never seen anything like it."

The troops must've been so impressed with Trump's tale of hardship coming to visit them, two years into his term. You can't make this stuff up. Boo-hoo, Trumpy.

Cue the excuses from our resident expert on security procedures.

No he’ll ignore as usual since it’s not a dem who’s breaking norms

He should have choppered into the green zone. A family member talked about doing that before the withdrawal. Like geese putting on the brakes and doing that partial spiral thing onto a field or pond.

And if your GOP didn't pass massive "trickle down" tax cuts, we might have been able to knock it down.

Re: POTUS 45.45: The Wall or a Shut Down. Your Choice Pelosi!!!!!!

so if the wall is such a bad idea why is Pelosi offering 1.5 billion to build it
if it's a bad idea, why offer anything?

the national debt, can you afford your share? $66,000 for every man woman and child
letting a bunch of illegals in isn't going to reduce it, it will increase it due to more people suckling at governments teats
