Utter insanity. Anyone standing on that deck should arrested by the World Court. Humiliated to be an American because our 300M citizens allowed a few dozen fascist corporate grifters to take hostage our precious nation and the world. How stupid can we be!?! Dear World, I, for one, deeply apologize.
