We've been arguing here for decades. And before this forum existed, there was the Proto-Zone, and the arguing went on there too. I'm guessing, but these arguments flamed before you were born.

I understand and applaud your efforts at peace-keeping. I'm all for civil discourse. but that's not what we get from this POTUS. Watch his rallies. Watch the people at them. Is that civil discourse? I've got better things to do than drag out the pictures of people at these events, red-faced with rage, tee-shirts with hate spelled out across their chests and backs, giving the finger to the press, attacking minorities - PHYSICALLY, LITERALLY, attacking minorities. The left didn't start this hatred and division. Yeah, it existed before DJT. But he is using it like a hammer.

This revelation that Russia was paying Afgans to KILL our soldiers, and the POTUS has done nothing about is, in my opinion is treason. If just one of our people was killed when he knew about this, that is treason. At the same time he is praising Putin. It makes me sick to my stomach. I never served but I am a military brat. I grew up on military bases, shopped at the base-exchange, am used to the sound of fighter jets going over our quarters a few hundred feet above deck. My father was an officer on the front lines of the cold war. We had long talks about Russian propaganda tactics. That POTUS is Putin's lap dog makes me sick. And scared. And angry.

Everything is fine if the trains run on time, right? Or I get a tax-cut. That's the very definition of the Good German, sweeping the ashes of human beings off the sidewalk in front of their shop, never really asking what that stench is when the wind comes a certain way.
