How can one be 'small government' and 'strong defence' at the same time?
SuspiciousCactus
Its when you think the government's role includes national defense, but not do everything for everyone at all times.
TargunYssboern
The concept of government doing "everything for everyone at all times" seems very naive.

Everyone who supports and enables him is also to blame, but he is the "untouchable" ring leader based on laws that protect the president

Sure, and I agree, but he's one guy who's gonna be gone at the end of his term (one way or another). Those that don't get attn or have term-

A smart person would never be in a position where they have to choose country over party. This moron doesn't care about anything but himself
usernamemustbe4characterslonng
The only reason he’s running for a second turn is because he sees a one term president as a failure. And he hates Obama somuch, who had 2.
DVSBSTrD
He's running for a second term so the government will cover his debt.
RedIronCrown
A second term might delay his prosecution for 4 years.

That's a good point. I would never burn our flag. I would fight for someone else to be able to have that power, though.

absolutist monarch, because then the government is only 1 person and that's really small.
Desh
In America they like a small government so all the funding can go to the military. We spend 40% of total world military spending.
aPokal
Small government is about regulation primely, about taxation secondly and budget maybe someday. Defence (against outside) is usually one of
aPokal
they want to keep.
ElroydIsGone
My first thought exactly. Maybe corporations should sponsor private defense company armies to protect... oh, wait, no!
tinyCabbage
the spends like 8x more than anyone else, you can cut that in half and still have a strong defence. Do you really need 20 aircraft carriers
tinyCabbage
do you really need 2,500 f-35s. 1,800 nuclear missles, 4000 stockpiled nuclear missles, 1,500 black hawks helis,

idownvoteplottwist
I think the argument is to be a monolithic superpower to the degree of dissuading any thought of competing for power
idownvoteplottwist
The belief is dominance to the degree that war isn't even considered an option for others. I don't know how much I agree, I'm no expert
tinyCabbage
It sure isn't dominance for defence, cos those nukes will do that for you.
WwwhyYouNoLikeMe
That didn't quite work out, now did it? Continuing this way is nothing more than a get rich scheme for military industrial complex
r0twhylr
1) Strong defense doesn't have to be stupid expensive. 2) Small govt can mean less bureaucracy, greater individual liberty.
ByJoveByJingle
Lol, sure dude. Show me the country with a strong defense that’s not expensive. North Korea?
r0twhylr
If you look at how much of their GDP goes into their war machine, they probably have the most expensive military there is. What I mean 1/?
r0twhylr
is that we could be as well or better protected by something less expensive than say, the F-35.
ByJoveByJingle
If you take a look at the military budget, you may be surprised at what the biggest pie slice is.
Dionysus187
Ironic that universal healthcare would absolutely decimate a lot of bureaucracy.
r0twhylr
I'm with you there.
Tomadzo
That’s really my point. Defense is already one of the largest annual expenditures. Big govt now is compelled by big defense dept
charlie2979
Giving the bureaucracy, which is absolutely essential we forget, less money doesn't ever mean less bureaucracy. It means a less
charlie2979
Effective bureaucracy. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.
r0twhylr
Not all bureaucracy is essential.
charlie2979
The bureaucracy in general is. Society doesn't work without it. Take a look at any number of failed libertarian towns if ya want.
charlie2979
Lots of bears. No one organising trash collection. Shit like that.
r0twhylr
Can you honestly tell me that there is no inefficient, useless, redundant bureaucracy anywhere in the US govt?
elvissatdownyonder
The US military is the poster child for bureaucracy. Not that I think that invalidates his endorsement or service to the nation.
r0twhylr
Agree 100%.
Camelspotting
And this nonsense self hate is a lot of what makes it inefficient.
gnochi
The US military is required to spend thousands of dollars tracking pennies on a “use it or lose it” budget.

The bureaucracy is for the most part thrust upon them.

Yep, it's always someone else's fault, eh?

They hold up the law all day every day. Only a statistically insignificant number of times are they breaking it. That's a fact not opinion.
thrwawybcsrsns
I would think that the Secret Service could physically remove a previous Pres when he's not supposed to be there. No paperwork required.
Bukkhockey
They will continue to protect the president after he's out of office, the capital police would be in charge of removing him if needed.

I imagine him running to another country with some valuable Intel as payment similar to Snowden
shyasen
Trump doesn't believe Fauci, the Generals or any expert in field. I doubt he has any valuable Intel or has ever actually had access to any.
FlyingButtPliers
He's got access to stuff that's top secret and didn't even know it. https://www.npr.org/2019/09/05/758038714/can-president-trump-really-twee
nclu
More likely he's high value for an adversary state because he would be able to remotely continue dividing the country.
Dechelonidaemobilis
Snowden was not a traitor. Even though what he did is questionable, he is a patriot.
FlyingButtPliers
The motivation is different but the end result is the same
DukePhelan
A morally superior position does not affect the crime that was committed. Also hiding out with Russia burned any chance at a pardon for him.
Dechelonidaemobilis
He was in a position of being silent about a crime or commiting a crime by reporting it. And other countries wouldn't accept him.
Dechelonidaemobilis
Also, if you break a law by doing a moral thing, then there might be problem with the law.
GlenL
He's such a pathological liar they probably wouldn't even be able to sort through the bullshit.

Well I’d also like to see him end it like his idol did. Scared, alone, defeated and panicked.
MutantTurd
It would just make him a martyr to his most ardent, and dangerous, supporters. I would rather he die penniless with no one around him.
00110001001001111010000110110110011
yes that’s the ideal situation. He should be in broke & jailed but that’s probably not going to happen so him killing himself is also good
Orang3lazaru5
Is it bad of me to hope for a similar ending to that bunker scenario?
flexje
Yes, that would make him a martyr.

No, it's a tidy solution. A strongman can't be a strongman if he commits suicide. And he can't be a Martyr either.
