Comments from a prior post I made:

I firmly believe Putin would have preferred Hillary. I realize Russia meddled in the election and the intel agencies say Putin was trying to help Trump, but I think he did so because Putin knew Hillary would win and wanted to discredit/weaken her as much as possible. But from a policy perspective, Hillary was much more aligned with Putin's goals than Trump.

Hillary was against fracking, which the Russians hate. Clearly, Putin would want to stop fracking to raise oil prices and to stop potential LNG flows to Europe to replace Russian natural gas. Hillary would have kept our military spending in the shallow end of the pool, Putin would love that too because it would give him more freedom to operate as he did in Crimea and Ukraine. Hillary would have followed Obama's policies in the Middle East (leading from behind and non-active engagement) leaving the Middle East to Russia, Putin would love that. Hillary would have kept the Iran deal, Putin would love that since Iran is a proxy for Russia and the larger Iran's tentacles reach into the Middle East the better for Putin. And Hillary would have continued Obama's policies keeping the missile defense shield out of Europe.

And Billy got a lot of money from Russia for speeches while Hillary was Sec State. Not to mention, Hillary helping the Russians in the uranium deal.

Judging by Nicki Haley's words (and she speaks for Trump and the rest of America) Russia it not going to be our chums any time soon.

Never have been. Patton wanted to take them out after Germany's surrender.

I saw her two interviews this morning. Pathetic. She kept saying "we have let them know we mean business" and we are strong again and leading again (implying we weren't strong before and weren't leading before). When asked what actions we have actually taken, she replied with we let them know we won't tolerate any funny business.

So it has been all talk and no action. Right on man.

At least she didn't say we are leading from behind, right? I seem to remember Reagan helping to bring down the Soviet Union partly by telling Gorby to "Tear down this wall." Words, talk, right? Reagan, like Trump, rebuilt our dwindling military. That is one very loud stick.

“He is not stopping me from beating up on Russia,” she said. “He's not stopping me from talking about the pressure that China needs to be putting on North Korea. He's not stopping me on how we're working together to defeat ISIS,” using an acronym for the Islamic State militant group.

What would you do, Nuke'm?

Go get'em, Destroyer. G-r-r-r-r-r

Not totally fake.
14/17 * 100 = 82.35% Fake

BTW, Have you ever implied guilt when someone hires a lawyer? I heard people were trying to spread that f'ucking lie. Please defend yourself. I wouldn't want your reputation impugned. Neither would your boyfriend.
