Since the Democrats won the House on November 6, the Dow has dropped 3,843 points, or 15%. The S&P 500 has dropped 404 points, or 14.7%. The NASDAQ has dropped 1182 points, or 15.1%. The Russell 2000 has dropped 289 points, or 18.5%. Maybe it wasn't "tariff man."

In other words, it has nothing to do with foreign opinion--it's just what you agree with.

Don't ask if you don't want answers. Europe is in riots. Their citizen's are chanting that they want Trump.

Just because you don't respect your own country doesn't mean everyone else agrees with you. You may want to move South before he builds that wall, you know.

You didn't answer what I asked.

If someone says "America is respected again," the implied subject (the actor who is doing the respecting) is someone who is outside of America.

If you're saying Americans who agree with Trump respect the American government again, then you say "the red hats respect the government again."

When I was in college at U.T., we all knew the doctors that would try to help you avoid the draft by writing a letter to your draft board. Most everybody pulled any available string. There were draft specialist lawyers in Downtown Knoxville that were sympathetic to the cause that would give you ideas to try to avoid the draft, and try to put it off. Nothing to see here.

Well, then you're going to have a stroke when you find out about the tens of thousands of upper-crust draft eligible males who avoided the draft entirely, or managed to score a draft classification that all but ensured they would never be drafted.

Just out of curiosity, and I have no intent to spin this or potentially use it against you, but did you serve your nation? Military, First Responder, anything of that nature. I ask this because when I run into someone who criticizes the military, our leaders (yes, even Democrats), or our nation in general...that's my question to them. "How have you served your nation?" Matters not to me if it was on the front line; on the chow line; first responder; volunteer; ER; whatever.

But if you're going to fuss about my country, and you haven't served it, then you lost me when your mouth opened. Then and forever more.

Full disclosure, counselor. Now you know my motive here.

Go Vols.

You don’t even need to justify that piece of tripe hit job. The podiatrist is dead, the daughters are Dims, they acknowledge they hate Trump, and the article could not be verified... but they posted it anyway! 🙄

I knew a lot of students at U.T. who were there with me during the Vietnam war. We all did everything possible to avoid going. I remember only one guy who was anxious to serve. He was in the Army Rangers. He was a prick and probably got fragged by his troops.

I just checked the alphabetical listings for the Vietnam wall, and the a$$hole apparently survived Vietnam. That is, if he actually went, which I assume he did. I personally knew 5 people on that wall. I looked up their names in D.C. years ago. It was a helluva sobering experience.

I answered you. You just can't conceive of the possibility that other people besides red hats could respect those things, even though Europe is in open riots against the globalist agenda of immigration, open borders, etc, with video of the riots chanting "we want Trump".

What I find intriguing if that you think so lowly of America that you can't conceive of our country being respected.

We have SEALS in Iraq? Army Rangers? Marine Recon? AFPJ's? Oh no...OPSEC has been shattered.

My guess would be that the folks most concerned about us having SF in Iraq are well aware of their presence by now. Well...those that are still alive to fret about it.

Here's another national security breaking story: If he ever tours a U.S. Navy ballistic missile submarine, Stratcom air base, or underground missile complex, there just might be nuclear weapons in the vicinity.

"Acosta-osis" should show up in the next edition of the ICD manual.

Being a carnival barking twitter bully ≠ 'strong leadership'.

The strongest leader of all time once said in his best selling book "Somehow I Manage" that "great leaders don't fire, they inspire."

Squirrel hair hasn't "led" anyone in anything unless it's in the number of ad homs tweeted from a golf course. He himself stated explicitly that a President should be considered weak if the government shuts down.

You are absolutely, 100% correct. This is a total non-issue. In fact, President Barack Obama did the exact same thing on Christmas a few years ago (posted a pic to Twitter with himself and a Navy SEAL). I specifically remember it because none other than Donald Trump (and some self righteous conservatives) called him out on it... on Twitter.
