    Trump is transactional. He is also under Putin's thumb. Just think back to Helsinki 2018. Do we all recall how Trump came out of that secret meeting head down, like a corrected child? His body...

    Would Trump sell off any American interests to broker a peace treaty? Look at how he behaved to Zelensky at the WH. I don't think he has the mental capacity to pull this off. Someone should call a...

    Yes. The democrats who formed the Klan were conservative Christians, not liberals or progressives. Those racist conservative Christians later changed parties to the republican party but the ideology...

    It is fortunate that I didn't actually offer up hatred for the right wing, isn't it. While you are welcome to mischaracterize what is written for all to read, I won't ignore that bad faith in the...

    So you don't know, but you think that all other nations pay less than the USA for pharmaceutical products because the companies give them a break. You should offer up some data that supports your...

    Not at all. I have never equated the two -they are not the same, not even the same category (nazis are a party and movement, communism is a governing form. I was saying that neither of those two...
