Doc Brown Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Here's the transcript of the speech. So let's look at the place in today's speech where Trump says "America first": In foreign affairs, we are renewing this founding principle of sovereignty. Our government's first duty is to its people, to our citizens -- to serve their needs, to ensure their safety, to preserve their rights, and to defend their values. As President of the United States, I will always put America first, just like you, as the leaders of your countries will always, and should always, put your countries first. (Applause.) All responsible leaders have an obligation to serve their own citizens, and the nation-state remains the best vehicle for elevating the human condition. But making a better life for our people also requires us to work together in close harmony and unity to create a more safe and peaceful future for all people. The United States will forever be a great friend to the world, and especially to its allies. But we can no longer be taken advantage of, or enter into a one-sided deal where the United States gets nothing in return. As long as I hold this office, I will defend America’s interests above all else. But in fulfilling our obligations to our own nations, we also realize that it’s in everyone’s interest to seek a future where all nations can be sovereign, prosperous, and secure.The greatest in the United States Constitution is its first three beautiful words. They are: “We the people.” Generations of Americans have sacrificed to maintain the promise of those words, the promise of our country, and of our great history. In America, the people govern, the people rule, and the people are sovereign. I was elected not to take power, but to give power to the American people, where it belongs. In foreign affairs, we are renewing this founding principle of sovereignty. Our government's first duty is to its people, to our citizens -- to serve their needs, to ensure their safety, to preserve their rights, and to defend their values. In America, the people govern, the people rule, and the people are sovereign. I was elected not to take power, but to give power to the American people, where it belongs. So why are media/dems/lefties freaking out about his speech ? Because it was good. it was serious. It differs so much from his ridiculous self-centered tweets, and makes it obvious that he IS the President. and we can't have that. . He apparently called Kim Jong Un Rocket Man. I actually thought it was funny. I liked the grave warning Trump gave to North Korea and I think it's gonna be a long long time until we engage in any military action there.

DC Tom Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 He apparently called Kim Jong Un Rocket Man. Thus the problem: he wasn't addressing the UN, he was addressing his supporters while he happened to be at the UN. It was a far cry from Bush's "The UN risks irrelevancy" speech.

ALF Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Trump with military leaders: This is calm before the storm The president's use of the ominous phrase prompted others to question what he meant by it – to which the president replied even more ominously: “You’ll find out.” Trump said he expected the Pentagon brass in the room to offer him “a broad range of military options, when needed, at a much faster pace.” Multiple reports, however, have suggested the White House next week will effectively scrap the Iran nuclear deal signed by the Obama administration in 2015, kick-starting a new standoff between Iran and the U.S. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/10/06/calm-before-storm-trump-remark-sparks-foreign-policy-speculation.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Tearing up the bogus deal with Iran was a major issue Trump would have to deal with. Will he be giving the bribe that Obama did to hope nothing happens for another year or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I think this says it all. Republicans do not care at all about any issues, except maybe guns and welfare, but their hate of "the left" is what drives them. They could care less about the truth, policy or ramifications and what the government does. Its all just hate Tearing up the bogus deal with Iran was a major issue Trump would have to deal with. Will he be giving the bribe that Obama did to hope nothing happens for another year or two? A Democrat made the deal, therefore it must be bogus, and if it isn't, so what! Who cares about nuclear weapons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) I guess if we wish hard enough then all the guns and bombs can just vanish... POOF they gone... Comes down to a basic philosophy on how much you trust the other side to keep their promises. I dont trust Iran at all. And I have watched the Dems sign dozens of bogus pacts that just kicked the can down the road, praying for peace at any price.

grinreaper Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Just the pallets........................ Not without the proper pallet exchange agreement. NJFS Pallet Exchange Service Below is our standard Pallet Exchange Service. NJFS only exchanges good for good x Our clients will not accept substandard pallets when we ship out, so we cannot give credit for them. In some cases, carriers may be required to stack product off of bad pallets and onto good. x We do not keep an inventory of bad or substandard pallets for exchange. What is a good pallet? x Must be a GMA four way entry pallet. x No missing or broken boards or runners. x No double runners, plugs or patches. x No softwood pallets. x Must be no obvious contamination or infestation (blood, oil, bugs, bird droppings, etc.). In extreme cases of contamination or suspected infestation, NJFS may not allow pallets in its facilities. Sorting pallets x Carriers are NOT permitted to use our loading docks to sort pallets. This ties up valuable dock and door space and is an injury risk in areas of heavy forklift traffic. Broken Board and Double Runners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) An Iranian armed forces spokesperson warned it may be time to "teach Americans new lessons" if the Trump administration labeled Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. Masoud Jazayeri, an IRGC commander and spokesperson, issued the threat, Reuters reported. “It seems the Trump administration understands only swear words, and needs some shocks to understand the new meaning of power in the world,” Jazayeri said, according to ISNA. “The Americans have driven the world crazy by their behavior. It is time to teach them a new lesson.” http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/10/10/iranian-armed-forces-spokesperson-its-time-to-teach-americans-new-lessons.html Seems like they are daring Trump to label IRGC a terrorist organization Edited October 11, 2017 by ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
