Probably true but I kept hearing that Trump waned to ramp up NW, so if he wins again maybe there would be more funding?

Program of record would need to be modified. Inertia.

Did you read the Mueller report it said Russia interfered with our electron and got Trump elected. They put fake posts on Facebook and comments on Huffington post. Heck they could be positing this blog and getting you to vote for Trump. Scooby maybe it would be best to shut this blog down since it might be influencing people.

Back to the funding issue. I think LANL is really good shape. I’m not a LANL person, by the way. I think they made a lot of good decisions in terms of the pit manufacture and also the efforts at U1a. Now they look like top priority and likely to survive budget cuts or any realignment. I don’t think the democrats will allow 25% yearly increases in NNSA budgets though. But there’s a lot of waste at the other labs.

LANL funding will be cut as so many US lives will depend on this.

As I understand it Trump has overfunded DOD for a few years to restock as previous President(s) had underfunded.
I think (opinion) Trump has overfunded DOE for the same reason as we needed modernization in many areas.
I am not sure how the Corona will affect this.

No, the Mueller report did say Russia interfered in the elections, but did NOT say they "got Trump elected." Try to be truthful.

So Russia did interfere with the elections. Trump won by a small margin, so yes Russia got Trump elected. What part or implication did "interfere" with do you not get.

The interference was mainly on social media and took many tracks, both pro and anti Trump. Again, try being truthful.

Anti Trump? I never heard anything like this. What I remember is that Russian social media
put out fake news targeted at certain ethnic groups not to vote, which apparently worked in part and was a factor in electing Trump. Why would the Russians have anti-Trump tracks? It makes no sense. Not once have I ever read or heard of Russians have both pro and anti-Trump ads. The story is that Russian had the hotel tapes, remember the Steele dossier, so with that of course they could get Trump do to their bidding if he ever got elected. Did you hear this from watching to much Fox news, that network should be shut down.

In any case we have to add some hard questions about how and if social media can be used in a democracy. Freedom of speech and freedom of press was one thing in 1780, our founding fathers could not envision a day when someone could just put out fake news for anybody to access. There needs to be official news sources, official information, official control. For example social media is spreading all sorts of lies about the Covid19 like it is caused by 5G,
kill less than 1% of the people who get it, that actual treatments like Malaria drugs, that there are enough hospital beds, that it came from a Chinese lab and that we should open up some states by May. This is all fake news that our enemies foreign and now domestic can use. The 2016 election was the first shot in the war for democracy we have to make some hard choices about how and who can control and have access to information. You cannot say fire in a theater and you should not be able to say covid19 is caused by 5G, it is exactly the same analogy. It should not be legal to spread fake information that hurts people or fake information that elects politicians that hurt people.

In my opinion Russia has pretty close to an Oil based economy.
It makes no sense why Russia would want an Energy Czar like Trump to be elected.
In one of Trump's early speeches he specifically said and I saw this speech that the US has $50T in Energy and we need to tap it and he has followed through as USA is now energy self-sufficient and an energy exporter.
Another argument would be that Trump is unpredictable so again Russia may not like that either.

It is also fair to say Crooked Hillary per the State Dept.
was a (small) part of selling a US Uranium Company to Russia
with I think Russia contribution to Clinton Foundation of $130m.

Consider Trump gave Ukraine anti-tank weapons and Obama sent blankets and MRE's.
Also Trump Russia Dossier (DNC/Christopher Steele) proven to be phony.
It just doesn't add up. BTW more coming soon as pitbull Durham AG report on FISA coming out this summer and it's going to be big.

So Trump being a Russian asset is getting old I think time to move on to another attack.

Fact: Trump got elected.
Fact: Trump did not win the most votes.
Fact: Trump has proven to be totally inept in dealing with major crises, putting US citizens at risk.
Conclusion: Time to do away with the electoral college?

The electoral college makes no sense. And yes in case you have not noticed Trump has literally destroyed everything he touched. How is it that China has 3k dead and the US has 40k dead, yet the population of China is 10 times that of the US. That is because China did not think the virus was a hoax. Look at Europe they have only 20k dead yet have more people than the US, that is 37k people literally murdered by Trump because he said it was a hoax. The United States is the laughing stock of the world all because of Trump.

You are an example of what fake news can do to people. This is the reason we need to either limit fake news or stop certain people from having access to fake news. Everyone knows the Russians interfered, why because Putin is an evil thug and is allied with all other evil thugs. Ever read comic books? They are based on universal truths.

"Did you hear this from watching to much Fox news, that network should be shut down. "
I would suggest to watch moderate, professional Reporter Lara Logan new shows on Media Bias.

"Fact: Trump did not win the most votes."
So I would say it is to Trump's credit that he did not target the Popular Vote in an Electoral Contest.
Hillary targeted the Popular Vote in an Electoral Contest AND SHE WON. YAY!

"How is it that China has 3k dead and the US has 40k dead, yet the population of China is 10 times that of the US. "
REALLY? REALLY, come on?
Do you really believe Chinese Communist Party reporting as their Doctors disappear?
With all due respect not even people in that lost tribe in Borneo believe anything China says as I checked with them over the weekend.
I think this explains a lot from this Poster with respect
and of course (of course) it is always (always) Trump's fault sorry hard not to laugh as I am trying hard to stay respectful.

Not true. Countries now respect us because of tariffs and new Trade deals.
Also other Countries fear Trump's unpredictability
which obviously can be a good or bad thing
but the one thing it does achieve is to make them respect us.

I would add that Trump among his many positive and negative qualities has follow through and holds people and Institutions accountable and I really like that in a Leader.
Because of WHO ineptness and their playing games with Taiwan I read Trump has transferred WHO funds to the Red Cross and Samaritans Purse (which built a Hospital in Central Park).

If one wants to look into the genius of Trump consider
how one day he proclaims he has total authority over the Governors,
the next day (as Governors overreact) he says he is giving authority to the Governors. If you do not get this consider to read Tom Sawyer as he paints the fence,
you have to admit that was pretty smart even if you don't like him:)

Trump will be re-elected to his second term and if you don't believe that,
watch and learn as it will be so fun (and Biden in a debate, OMG fun).

All Fox news lies. No country respects the US, sure some may fear whata madman will do but
that is a horrible thing.

That has to be fake news, where did you read that? I have not read that anywhere. In case you don't know Trump cannot "transfer money" it is has to be approved by Congress.

"If one wants to look into the genius of Trump consider

What on earth are you talking about, it makes look even dumber. Wow that takes insanity to a whole new level.

"Trump will be re-elected to his second term and if you don't believe that,

Trump may only get elected with the help of Russia or if makes himself Dictator. Biden can handle him in a debate all he has to do is keep saying that Trump killed 60k Americans and drop the mike. END OF DEBATE.

Your post is sure is nutty. We really should have a test before people are allowed to vote. The whole Chinese social credit system does have some value as a way to shame people with no shame.

Scooby, people are posting to this thread. Please shut it down.

There are about 6 or 7 posts on this thread that are all from the same Trumpist. He is getting really old. Scooby, if you want this blog to remain relevant, you need to start culling some of this political crap. How can this be relevant to LLNL or LANL or DOE or NNSA? This thread needs to be shut down. Please?
