I work with Somali refugee families. They have survived unspeakable horrors that most Americans can't imagine. There are small children who are survivors of rape and have had family members murdered. They are scared and brave and we are blessed to have them among us so they can build their lives as Americans. America's current leadership is capable of the same horrors that have happened in Somalia. There is no us and them. We are all in this together and we should be helping each other. There is no answer but shared humanity.
When Phil took that Saudi money for their tour, he told you who he was.
Trump is poisoning the blood of America
If Mickelson doesn't like the United States then he can leave.
The common thread to the pardons is they are all scammers, frauds, grifters!
Pardon power needs to be revoked from all president's. It's just a magnet for corruption.
I love the irony of all these contractors voting to have their own workers deported.
It's mass murder, plain & simple. The hypocrisy just makes it more grotesque.
The double-tap strike suggests to me that everyone in the chain of command knew they were committing a war crime with the first strike, but were counting on gaslighting the public with their “narco-terrorism” cover story. They just apparently forgot that killing shipwreck survivors was the textbook definition of a war crime.
The whole pardoning the drug dealer and bombing the drug dealers is so blatantly in your face it's crazy!!
