The sentiment is scary, both from you and the person you’re responding to. “Lock them up” shouldn’t be the default stance. “You” didn’t win anything...neither did “I” and it’s nobody’s inauguration but the country’s.
I hope our officials do take China seriously. But GDP is not the only measure of competition.Why is Russia our adversary? The cold war ended decades ago. Russia's GDP is 1/60th of USA's, and they are now the 11th ranked country by GDP, they simply aren't even in the game anymore.
If China isn't the USA's greatest adversary, then the USA doesn't even have one at the moment. I think the game is to work with China, not against them so bluntly. But to not be naive, as of course they'd love to topple the USA and become the dominant power in the world. And also don't be so naive to think that that will not have a lot of negative and unpleasant consequences.

Huh?That's if election fraud actually becomes President.

Also this is a shame, President Trump has done so much to help improve the country and people still want to put a stop to this. It's really disappointing that that the obvious (to some) good that you do had to be fought every step of the way to be put into action.

A solid contender for the tag line describing this administration.
It’s bad for this generation. Horrible really. Having people to look up to with Instagram will and has made this world bad in the last 5-10 years.
For sure, but it's a good starting point for working out how powerful a country is.
I grew up with social media in my 20’s and watched what it did to people so no you’re wrong. There is good social media and then there is toxic social media. You don’t have to agree but the world is changed not for the better. Dating is completely horrible nowadays. Girls looking up to fake people wearing nothing in pictures. Selling their bodies. Living fake lives. Yes it has changed the world. Instagram is one of the worst out there for kids these days.
As my Trump-voting father would say, “That’s politics, babe.”
But that’s different from saying that, because their GDP has slipped relative to other countries, Russia “isn’t even in the game anymore.” From a strictly security standpoint it’s obvious that Russia must remain towards the top of our national security threat list.
Why would they? You obviously don’t understand the two if you think a forum ruined anything in the world. Completely different. Forums have been around since the late 90’s.
Thanks for reminding me. In addition to not understanding how the electoral college works, many Trump supporters also seem to have trouble understanding how polling and probability works too. RCP aggregates a bunch of different polls and had Clinton up by an an average of 3.2 points going into election night. She won the popular vote by 2.1 points, of course not securing enough electoral votes to win. That's absolutely within a reasonable margin of error.
