If Trump disrespects the UN so much why doesn't he kick them out of New York or what that just empty out half of Trump towers.

In my opinion, he needs it so he can save Israel from all the countries that oppose it, with the veto.

If the UN moved elsewhere without the US on the security council, Israel would probably be a pariah state within a month, in my opinion.

Amazing actually how this has become a Rest of the World against America style argument.  I wonder why.

Don't include me in that. The US is the only thing preventing a certain country taking over my part of the world, IMO.

I want a US military with a huge budget, that Trump is pushing for.

Surely, the end result of all this is so many guns used to kill so many of your own population?

Let them kill each other. I can never understand why you would need an assault rifle to go hunting.

The reason for the amendment was to keep slaves in check-a bit out of context now

Bullpucky. Show us where you learned that little tidbit of silliness

Always like that. Same way folks take potshots at Robby Keane, when you are the best and the baddest.....

In other words, you got nothing.

Or, in still other words, I've got something:

Was Slavery a Factor in the Second Amendment?

For many Americans, if there is an image that comes to mind when they think about that amendment, it is the musket in the hands of minutemen at Lexington and Concord.

A dramatic but little-known story reveals that a more accurate image may be the musket in the hands of slave owners. It explains why, when he entered Congress and wrote a Bill of Rights, James Madison included a right to bear arms, and why it included the clause “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State …”

some may have been thinking that but it does in no way mitigate the second amendment as a safety clause in the event a tyrannical government should develop in the future.

Yes, if the king of England tried to retake the USA.

You can laugh. When William is King he'll no doubt send his brother over to sort you out.

 

He's already been over, violated and carried off one of your maidens.

Not exactly mine, and I don't think she could be called a young girl anymore.

citing the ny times for anyhting means nothing

I would totally believe Trump, as he has topped 10,000 lies or untruths since he started his presidency.  Although, it is second nature, as it is well known, he has been a chronic lier for most of his childhood/life.  I guess your word means something?  Maybe it’s time to familiarize yourself with the NYTs?  I’m sure you will have your platform of millions someday ????
