New nuclear arms race in the cards
President-elect Donald Trump on Friday morning escalated his calls for a stronger U.S. nuclear arsenal, saying he was fine with an “arms race” if it puts the U.S. in a stronger position against foreign adversaries.
“Let it be an arms race … we will outmatch them at every pass and outlast them all,” Trump told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” during an off-air conversation on Friday.
The attempt at a clarification came after Trump alarmed some with a vague tweet on Thursday that said, “The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes.”

Consider looking through those lenses when hearing his Tweets.
Someone smart said,
"the People take Trump seriously not literally".
"the Media takes Trump literally not seriously".
He is strickly transactional. Not an Idealogue nor a Politician nor Predictable.
If you bet against him you are sure to lose.
The People won and the Corporate Media lost (them more than anyone else).
My friends, Mr. Pence said to buckle up and hold on come Jan. 21
and you and I better believe him.
And this is exactly what he wants you to think and you fell for that trap and you will keep falling for this trap. All too easy. Don't believe me just look at the results.
I just got it, they are still underestimating him.
Results....yeah, right. 6 bankruptcies, any number of fraud suits, stiffs most of his little guy contractors. Yeah Trump has "results" all right. The ONLY thing he's good at is being a con man. What disgusts me is that America was flamingly stupid enough to fall for his con job.
To say nothing of worlds worst possible comb-over. He's clearly as bald as a cue ball, and makes William Shatner look like a Chia Pet.

Typical liberal BS. Call names instead of making reasoned factual arguments. Then, as an extra bonus, make personal insults. Great way to win (not). Hint: You lost. Learn from mistakes.
Judge by the results.
Electing someone because they don't have a clue, have cheated and bankrupted many small business people, and are deep in debt to our enemies and calling it a triumph of the right is a disgrace to conservatives and a disaster for the country.
Oh and what do you call someone who changes their story on every issue as soon as someone questions them on it: a con-artist. So I don't think 4:08 was just calling names.
News flash: the Democrats didn't lose. Three million votes say so. The Electoral College stole the election from the people. The last time the Electoral College did this to the country, a fop was elected who was so lazy and arrogant he allowed the country to be attacked rather than interrupt his vacation. And no, Drumpf wouldn't have won the popular vote if he had campaigned elsewhere. And also no, he didn't lose the popular vote because of illegal voting. Lies may have gotten him elected but they won't make him a good leader or the country better.
If you remember high school civics, the President is chosen by the States through the Electoral College. Like Congress, it is set up that way to avoid the tyranny of the majority. A successful President needs to build a coalition that includes smaller states, and needs to have broad appeal. Every candidate, including Clinton, knows this, but Clinton failed to build that coalition and failed to have broad appeal, therefore she lost just like the Constitution arranged. Yes, she won a majority of the popular vote, but that's irrelevant because that's not how the President gets elected, never has been. Even progressives understand this, but they still whine, because that old yellowed piece of paper shouldn't be allowed to stand in the way of them getting what they want.
Vladimir is working on improvement for the next election.
Ask John Brennan about this, or whoever he is leaking to.
Here's what happened. Trump spent his small campaign budget targeting the states that would bring him the victory according to the election rules our founders put in place. Hilliar spent her HUGE campaign budget foolishly - she wasted efforts on states she was already sure to win. As a consequence she turned out more votes in places like California, but those votes didn't get her more Electors. Stupid! Liberals that keep claiming that Hilliar won the popular vote are just pointing out her poor election strategy.
Wikileaks has denied this.
When 4:23 refers to the Electoral College, he's referring to the same process that has elected ALL Presidents, including Obama.
Just more crybaby stuff from an obviously brainwashed extreme left-wing liberal.
This was the aim of the report. SIx months from now the Domocrats are going to be saying the vote counts were altered by Putin.
The election was hacked, wasn't it? That means voting machines were tampered with, right?
Sort of like what the NIF a people did in saying they achieved "break even". The popular press thought this was ignition and gain initially when it was really only 1% of true break even. Technically Moses and Hurricane didn't lie, because they changed the definition to only include the work done on the fuel. But the impression was left.
Some journalist caught it though
http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2013/10/fusion-breakthrough-nif-uh-not-really
Livermore so full of liars and crackpots.
He also was interviewed in the popular press and repeated that claim.
After some journalists realized the trick Hurricane and Moses had played on them the interviews dried up.
The high-foot capusule never amounted to anything. This design was actually suggested by others as a way of increasing the yield. Hurricane now claims at high-level reviews that if NIF was just a little more powerful his designs would ignite perfectly. Thus he maintains his infallibility and shifts blame to the people who built NIF.
High-foot capsules were discussed and planned during the NIC as a way to boost yield and make a PR splash. I do not doubt that Hurricane was involved at some level, but the myth that an outsider genius came in with a brilliant revolutionary new idea is, well, a myth.
You mean the illegal vote coming from CA two days after the election. All those mail in ballots from "newly minted" voters with the special drivers licenses.
Please give us all a break. Republicans won 2500 or so counties to Democrats 500 or so. Pretty much a Trump landslide across the country.
Sorry, the laser physicist/designers/builders (and I'm one of them) wanted a 10 MJ UV driver in the late '90's but DOE told us that we where too forward looking. Sad because we knew that the target side of the house was "full of it".
It must be hard for you Demmies to come to grips with the fact that one of the worst candidates ever to run for President clobbered the Dimocrat's hand-picked candidate,Hilliar, a candidate that the DNC did really dishonest things to promote.
PS: The war isn't endless because of Bush. Obama had many opportunities to mitigate or shorten it, and did the opposite.
The huge quantity of nonsense being spewed by the left is one reason fewer and fewer people believe much of anything that liberals now say.
The Dims supported the Electoral College when Obama won but criticized it when Trump destroyed Hilliar.
The Dims criticized Bush's war in Afghanistan but didn't criticize Obomber for ratcheting it up. Obomber spent 4x what Bush spent in Afghanistan and got 4x more Americans killed than Bush.
The Dims supported Putin (remember Hilliar's "Reset" button that actually said "Americans will not oppose Russia" (heavily paraphrased) in Russian? They then turned on Putin after he attacked the Ukraine - when the Dims practically invited him to attack.
The Dims supported Israel until after American Jews voted Democrat, then turned against Israel in the United Nations after the election.
Hilliar claims that she supported the American Ambassador to Libya and then, after he got killed, she said "What does it matter?"
The Dims didn't criticize Obomber's incessant campaign of killing innocent people with drone strikes.
Dims supported a ban on fracking but then they continue to drive their cars using oil/gas that was fracked. Dims supported the EPA when the EPA tried to ban coal but opposed the EPA when the EPA found fracking to be safe.
Dims claim to support older retired people but then they supported a $15 minimum wage. Who gets hurt the most? Retired people on a fixed income. This goes beyond "hypocrisy" right up to "Evil".
There are HUNDREDS of other examples.
I am really curious: what is it that drew you to the Trump camp; was it the racism or the misogyny?
I spell her name "Hilliar" because she is a liar. DUH. I know it, you know it, we all know it.
Why can't you stop parroting liberal nonsense? Are you getting paid to squawk?
Have you been huffing blue paint? Playing football with a painted-on blue helmet? OH GOD, NO, don't tell me. It's almost too awful to contemplate. You have been watching MSNBC, the least trusted news on television, haven't you?
Conservatives like the people who are always dissing liberals on this blog need to get a clue: Crook is a puppet of Russia. Do you really think the Russians only hacked the DNC? I know you don't know much but cybersecurity is rather like car locks: a knowledgeable attacker can break into whatever they target. They have all of the RNC and Crook's emails and more but they didn't release them. Now think real hard here, do you know why they didn't release them?
I'll wait...

Still waiting...

Did you figure it out yet?
They are going to blackmail the **** out of Crook and own this country. This isn't a game and facts matter.

Absolutely correct. Your problem is that you don't have any. "They have all of the RNC and Crook's emails and more..." The IC seems to disagree with you.
The "British Intelligence Officer" (as reported by CNN) who made this claim turned out to be an ex-MI6 freelance Dick working for the Demmies in their ongoing FECKLESS attempts to discredit President-Elect Trump. The freelance Dick has not produced any evidence to back up his claim.
Don't know that? Then you're getting your news from liberal-run news outlets.
Thanks for pointing that out, 12:02.
Of course everyone knows the story on the report from the ex-MI6 guy. And just so you know, liberal-run media outlets report real news not the fake stuff. You people probably think an FBI agent was killed investigating Clinton's emails. THAT was fake news (NPR found the guy who ran the fake news website where that story started) but the fake news people report that it is much easier to spread right-wing fake news than liberal stuff. The liberals care about truth and the stories are killed almost immediately. The truth will come out and no, the IC does not disagree with the RNC being hacked. It is all just business to Traitor so don't be surprised if your God turns out to be in the Russian's pocket. Putin knows how to use money to get what he wants just like Traitor but Traitor is in hock to Putin.
Come on have a fit and say this is all liberal crap. Big bad liberals didn't put Traitor in Putin's pocket. Traitor's business deals did, you fools. People like you who think anything their orange God does is OK, may well be traitors, too.
BTW, never heard the fake story about the FBI agent dying while investigating Hilliar's illegal server. I read several news sites every single day and I never heard that story. It obviously didn't get as much play as the fake MI-6 Dick story.
Liberal sites don't run fake news? What about the doctored Zimmerman 911 tapes on NBC? How about the fake "I have my hands up, don't shoot" stories? Ever hear of Brian Williams? How about "Hilliar has a 98% chance of winning? Most everything Al Gore falsely claimed about Gorebull Warming like Florida going under water by now?
There are many fake stories run by the liberal press - John Stossel documented 3 fake stories in the New York Times IN ONE DAY just three days ago.
