@AntV,
The more unbridled greed a la Gordon Gecko, the more violence in this country!
Humans are only higher animals; mess with us, we'll mess with you worse.
What goes around (finally) comes around and payback time bites hard.

People, average folks, can only be pushed so far before they push back...with a vengeance.

Incidentally, as a history teacher, don't imagine I think Trump has a precedent on imperialism!!

If we recall learning in school, the Spanish-American War was a trumped up conflict (no pun intended.LOL) back in 1898, during which a newspaper mogul, William Randolph Hearst, a private citizen, influenced the president to declare war on Cuba.

Milo, either we've hit a cross-cultural impasse, you and I, or you're playing dumb.

No, I'd send him to the guidance counselor to see if they might straighten him out, no pun intended!

I knew once Trump was re-elected he'd crash the economy.
This was correct.

Scarcely a comparable analogy, Rich.

@Milo,
And you are playing the Devil's Advocate while simultaneously gaslighting.

To which "you" might you be referring?

As a parent, I'd be horrified, as would my missus, but if my child wanted it, I suppose even a shrink couldn't stop them.

Fact remains, Trump NEVER consulted Congress.
Is that democracy??

Amen, Alien! Right on.

Rich, you're missing the point.
Patrick Henry defended any point of view, even if he disagreed with it.
