President Trump the Magnificent puts IRAN on Notice

[basquebromance]

New sanctions on about a dozen individuals & business entities that do business with Iran's revolutionary guard. STRONG!

 

[basquebromance]

'Iran is playing with fire! they don't appreciate how "kind" President Obama was to them. Not me!' - President Trump

 

[basquebromance]

Who's says Iran and America don't get along? these two wrestlers should be president of Iran and the US!

Senators Cornyn, Rubio, Young: It's time for action against Iran

 

[EverCurious]

Uhm... I'm all for increased oil prices - we had to cut back on our road maintenance, I'd like to pave the Glenn in the summer. Crank up those gas prices! heh

You're going to get your wish. Prices will increase, but probably won't go through the roof, $60 to $65/barrel. OPEC is tightening up on production a bit and worldwide demand for oil is increasing.

Gen. Flynn: "Today We Are Officially Putting Iran On Notice"

When Iran test fired a new ballistic missile on Sunday, an act it confirmed this morning, it was aware it was taking a calculated risk and, more importantly, was testing America's response and resolve to preserve Obama's nuclear deal. It got the answer this afternoon, when shortly before 2pm, President Trump's national security adviser, Michael Flynn, said the United States was officially putting Iran on notice on Wednesday over its "destabilizing activity" after it test-fired a ballistic missile over the weekend.



"As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice," Flynn told a White House briefing, without explaining exactly what that meant, although it is clear that any more provocations by Iran and whatever existing deals Iran had with the Obama administration will almost certainly be revised if not torn up.

Oh well, lets get ready for the body bags and coffins!!!

There's always increased sanctions and TomaHawk cruise missiles.

I say nuke Iran out of existence. Muslims believe that to die at the hands of non-believers, guarantees entry into their fictional paradise, so we should send the Iranians there.

I've been waiting with baited breath for those fuckers to realize that their ploy to fuck Russia's economy wasn't going to be enough -- aka Putin is far more of a stubborn jackass than their pocketbooks can want to afford heh

Alaska will be thrilled come summer, it means we can hire private folks do all the stuff that gov cut off by the hiring freeze (park maintenance, fire watches, trail cleaning, etc.)

Trump and Donald Jr are alpha males, Ivanka is an alpha bitch as well. idk what happened with Eric heh

The Trump males have been in America over 100 years and the Donald Trump's family males have served in the MILITARY!!!! They only serve themselves! There is nothing patriotic about those BASTARDS!!!

Summary of Trump Family 150-Year Military Service

During that same 150 year period, male members of Donald Trump’s family have lived in the United States and fully benefited from the freedom, liberty, economic opportunity, and blessings of our country in every decade but the 1870’s. (Frederick Trump arrived as a military-aged immigrant to the United States in 1885).

The list above shows that at least 19 Trump family males have lived in America during those 140 years. Based on the best information available, one died in infancy, one is seriously disabled, and six are young children under the age of 10 years old. One more has just reached the age for military service. Thus there were 10 mature Trump men who were of military service age over this time period.

The 19 enumerated Trump men have lived in America for a combined total of 654 years, as of 2016 (more than six centuries). For our purposes, we will assume a military service obligation may occur between the ages of 18-45 (in a major national conflict, such as during the draft in World War II). A quick review of the birth dates of the Trump men shows that they have accumulated a total of 255 military service-eligible years during this period (about 40% of all their years living in America).

The military service-eligible years in the Trump family men are distributed as follows: 30 years for Generation 1 (grandfather Friedrich Trump); 54 years for the two members of Generation 2; 105 years for the four members of Generation 3; 66 years for the three members of Generation 4 (excluding young Barron Trump). This is an average of 25 years of military eligibility for each of the 10 Trump men.

The Trump family military history is atypical for an family here in America since the middle of the 19th century, and leaves a lot to be desired with respect to their dedication to the public good. Paying one’s fair share of taxes to support our men and women is one part of the puzzle, but even generous payments do not substitute for being willing to stand going in harm’s way for your fellow citizens.

Donald Trump’s life experience with military matters consists of attending a disciplinary military academy for five years in high school, marching around the parade ground, and playing soldier uniform dress-up. He actively avoided his own opportunity for military experience when he had the chance to serve in a hot war. He rejected the opportunity to serve as a Reservist or member of the National Guard then and later. He has recently attempted to hijack a charitable event for Veterans (January 2016) in order to shine the spotlight on himself, and then ducked payment of his boldly announced and freely offered contribution, until a national news paper hounded him for months and shamed him into honoring his commitment.

How Many Trump Men Have Served in the U.S. Military in 150 Years?*

Based on publicly available records sources and the news searches described above, the plain answer is None. Zero for Ten.

Absent a draft or other legal compulsion, there is, of course, nothing illegal about this record. There can be many reasons why any particular person does not get to serve.

However, over this long a period of time (1.5 centuries), with the number of major military conflicts the U.S. has fought in, and with this number of Trump male family members, it seems unusual that not one of them made the same sacrifice of service as tens of millions of their countrymen.

Trump has no background of family military service to draw on or inform him, that he might appreciate the routine and enormous sacrifices of those who have actually served our country or lost loved ones in wartime.

Trump’s Military Service Family History: A 50-Year Update (July 27, 2016)

You are severely underestimating Trump's years at the New York Military Academy, how formative it was for his outlook towards life, his work ethic, patriotism, and his deep respect for anything military. It was indeed the same lasting effect going to West Point Academy would have. In fact it definitely had more of an impact on Trump than had he actually only served in the military. That is why he has nominated so many generals for his cabinet.

Surely you're not comparing the New York Military Academy, a boarding school for wealthy problem children with West Point.

You missed the point totally asswipe. The military academy straightened Trump out and gave him the patriotism, respect for the military, backbone and discipline you see that he has today. That's what military academies do!

 

[EverCurious]

ABC Schools in Alaska support military ideals, citizenship, and patriotism - little wonder they are so wanted that we have lotteries to get into them. I am so pleased that I managed to win a slot for my kids, it has buffered them from the pressures of anti-Americanism and leftism threads in public middle school and high school and done wonders for them into adulthood.

I firmly believe that if you can only make one decisive move to guarantee your children's future, your grandchildren's future, it is to check their elementary school out thoroughly - not just a read the brochure thing, but seriously look into them. And if there is no good option then find a way to spend the money to send them to a good private elementary school. That is the foundation of the entire rest of their life, don't squander it on half-ass bullshit schools. Do your homework, and give them a leg up on the children of parents who are not paying attention.

Apparently, it didn't instill enough respect, backbone, and discipline for him to volunteer to fight for his country but rather to seek deferments and watch others do the fighting. While others were dying in the service of their country, Trump was driving around New York in his daddy's Rolls establishing himself as a million dollar playboy.

 

[Markle]

Trump and his sons are chicken hawks.

Alpha males isn't something you'd understand. Go tell someone you're sorry. Anyone.... doesn't matter.

Trump male bitches are only interested in serving Themselves.... Hell these cowards would send their wives to serve, fight and die in the military before they themselves would go!!!!

We are only talking in the last 150 years (and counting) NOT one single Trump male has served or died in the U.S. military!!!

I would have thought you hated those who served in Vietnam. Lots of folks, all the hippies, hated me.

 

[Markle]

Yes I realize that you blindly hate not only President Trump, but his entire family and anyone who happens to like them Rastamen.

Alpha male has /nothing/ to do with military service so I'm afraid your rant is unrelated to anything.

Typical conservative response. Hey make sure you tell a military service member "Thank you for their sacarifice". Which you really....It sucks to be you! And thanks for serving so I don't have to!!!!

Fight them there so we don't have to fight them here was a joke

How is it a joke?

Petulant former President Barack Hussein Obama claimed victory and, against all his advisors, pulled out all of our troops from Iraq. As he was told, and as Progressives denied, a vacuum was created. As was known by the intelligent, that vacuum was filled first by ISIS and now by ISIS and Russia. Yep, how has that worked out?

Following the commencement of the War on Terror, there were no further fatal Islamic terrorist attacks in our country or on our soil. How many have we had during the failed regime of former President? Since President Obama took office, why have terrorist attacks around the world skyrocketed? Why have hundreds of thousands been killed in Syria and why are there millions of refugees?

Mad dog said we don't need to send more troops into Iraq. You will see Republicans are all talk, dangerous, negligent, culpable,

75 Straight Months of Job Growth! The Obama economy closed out with a low 4.7% unemployment rate. In December, his final full month in office, the U.S. economy added a slightly disappointing 156,000 jobs. It marked the 75th consecutive month of job gains, the best on record.Jan 6, 2017

Suck it

Petulant former President Barack Hussein Obama, FIRST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY to not have a single year with the GDP, the Growth Domestic Product above THREE PERCENT.

Eight years of former President Carter-style malaise.
