Every day things are being done at home and abroad by this regime that will take decades to undo and the stain of which will mark America forever Too few understand that permanent damage is being done to our country by the hour—even considering that we only know a fraction of it

Just wish to note that this guy is worth between $15 - $30 million. The wide range is because he carries a large amount of debt. Wasn’t there a time when excessive debt was a security risk?

My husband's Gram did, so now I do. I somehow also have her Revere pots, which look just like my mother's. The added burden is that I have been informed that Grammy insisted that the copper bottoms be polished every time they were used. So my choices are guilt or polishing.

If they had not been terrorizing, abducting legal residents and even American citizens, staking out Native American neighborhoods and killing legal observers, they would not have faced pushback from our congressional representatives. This is not making America great. It's stupid & destructive.

Republicans have been saying government is bad, and voters have given them the tools to destroy it. Democrats know humans are imperfect, but they work to make government for the people, by the people. The GOP isn't conservative, they don't want to preserve anything but the wealth of the uber-rich.
