How disastrous for the World would it be if the US resigned from the UN?? I'm seriously asking...because this seems like scary **** to me.

The traditional way of reporting on a president is dead. And Trump’s press secretary killed it.

Like Trump would say no to drone strikes against Muslims in the Middle East.

He probably told them on Day 1 not to bother him about that again. And gave blanket approval.

It would open the door for the New World Alliance of Russia, the United States, Syria and Iran.

Don't be surprised if the Trump administration doesn't try to undermine NATO in a very serious way with more talk about nobody else pulling their weight as they edge us out the door.

It would be funny if the US left the UN and then rejoined in four years losing their permanent seat in the security council in the process.

I'm fine if trump puts in his own security and intelligence community as long as there are people smart enough to protect our current security and Intel infrastructure and could be managed in opposition to Trump.

Of course that would require some advanced republican complicity and some long range thinking so it probably won't happen and we will have a compromised and weak Intel and Security system protecting the country.

Thanks People who voted Trump

These new SS uniforms should stand out too, so as not to confuse them with regular law enforcement. Maybe get a big league designer like Hugo Boss to really nail the look.

We already had our moron, now we have a ****ing dangerous lunatic. Which strangely enough, I think accurately reflects the inner soul of the people.

If they're really talking about forming a new security agency based on loyalty to Trump I think Godwin himself would say it's time to bring up Hitler.

Yeah I would legit leave the country if that happens.

Edit: Re the security force. Leaving the UN would be super disruptive, but more globally than domestically. I assume it's not going to happen? There are enough sane Republicans in one of the houses.

this way it doesn't look so obvious when the US supports all of russia's proposals in the security council

the US leaving the UN would have severely destabilize the global order, which is exactly what putin wants, so it's likely to happen

Let me be the first to apologize for voting for this clown.

I thought it would be entertaining, and maybe things will get more amusing at some point, but so far just about everything he's done has mostly just been irritating.

Like, holy ****, man. You won, we know. Nobody gives a **** about how many people did or did not attend your ceremony. **** the haters and go do something productive, please.

Sorry, my bad.

Sushy I had some questions for you yesterday here and here, any thoughts? I need to know what's going on in the mind of Trump supporters on this front.
