If Trump moves military members out of Germany and back to the United States, there are going to be some pissed off troops. Germany is an ideal country to be stationed in. Where will they be transferred? Texas? South Carolina? Georgia? They will be absolutely livid.

America is running out of doctors. Congress must step up
The U.S. can’t afford to lose more doctors. Expanding international students’ access to American medical schools is a good place to start.

Democrats are doing what they do best: They are planning to protect America from the worst possible consequences of a DT administration. Americans don’t understand this simple concept. So let the GOP show Americans that they’re incapable of governing. It’s going to be painful. That’s the point.
