Senate The US Politics discussion

the millions they spend on pensions and overpaid government contractors they hire, I know construction guys who say they make $20.00/ hr when they do regular jobs , but when they get government jobs they get paid $50.00/ hr for holding an orange flag.

 

Next 4 years will be boom times for people who already have plenty of money. The good news for the rest of us is that the rich are going to have even more disposable income to pay for foot massages and bikini waxes, not that those are fetishes of mine. Not at all.

 

True government waste is the cost of protecting Melania and Trump because they refuse to live full time in government housing.

 

The only war that was preemptive was Iraq in 2003 in my opinion since Vietnam. they doesn't sound like a fetish to me. I think we will have ZERO wars under Trump.

 

I hope Russia helps in destroying ISIS.

 

When outlining government waste, the first thing that came to your mind was pensions? Why do I get the feeling that if Democrats had proposed cut in pensions, you'd be the first to scream at the top of your lungs in outrage?

 

Assad can't get Syria under total control until ISIS is eliminated.

 

Better him than have it under ISIS control, Liberals often say Iraq was better off under Saddam, so you should think the same about Syria and Assad.

 

So now you are in favor of removing leaders from countries that never attacked the US. Isn't that our preemptive fetish you hate?

 

Maybe we should have retrained those Indiana workers to provide foot massages and bikini waxes specifically for the rich. Seems more efficient.

 

Many liberals said that before going to war. You know, so we don't waste blood and treasure, not to mention hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians' blood, in a war that is sure to make things worse, supposedly to "liberate" them. After you've already gone in and made a mess, the only decent thing was to at least remove Saddam, otherwise a bunch of people have been killed on both sides, and billions of dollars spent for nothing.

If Russia is left to its own devices, it will target all opposition forces in Syria under the guise of combating ISIL. Only after the others are eliminated will they concentrate on defeating ISIL until no force is left to challenge the government, after which Assad's position in power will be secure and five years of civil war will have been for nothing.

 

I only see 3 options for Syria
1) Assad takes control back.
2) ISIS takes control of Syria
3)the US has to intervene and take control like we did in Iraq.
I'll take option 1 over the other 2. I know Assad is a bad guy, but their are other countries that have them and do horrible things to civilians, Just look at some of the tragedies in Africa where woman are captured as sex slaves, Somalia ruled by thugs who do god knows what to civilians, but we don't do anything about that either. I don't want another Iraq and Trump doesn't either.
