Admiral McRaven: Public Execution Is Shameless and Ignoble
A government livestream of Nidal Hasan’s killing would put America in extremely poor company.

How far she has fallen since she became entangled in the tRump family "business." This certainly must be the end of the line for her. Gavin must feel like he dodged a bullet somehow.

I couldn't agree more. If this guy can't be impeached, then who should ever be impeached? Our constitution simply doesn't work. Our founding fathers didn't anticipate spineless, lapdogs for Congressmen and Senators. We need a #noconfidencevote.

Since Putin has refused a ceasefire announced by tRump, is it fair to now expect that tRump will state that Russia needs a new leader like he did with Zelenskyy? If he doesn't, then he is obviously a Putin/Russian tool.

Trump is a Putin lapdog. A tool. Zelensky is the best thing that Ukraine could have hoped for during its challenging times. A new President can't come soon enough. www.nbcnews.com/world/ukrain...

Ukraine rattled as Trump eases Russia oil sanctions, says Zelenskyy should be replaced
The decision to ease sanctions is an abrupt reversal, just weeks after Trump signed a bill in honor of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham to punish other countries for buying sanctioned Russian oil.

Right now, it seems like the omission of a vote of no confidence is a glaring defect in our system of government. Why should we be forced to wait out the end of the term when we have gone so far and so quickly off course?

Does it feel like they are intentionally trying to destroy our quality of life? Trying to sell off parts of our National Parks and eliminating protections of endangered species? Recommending against vaccines that have protected us for decades? All of this because of the cost of eggs.

So Trump is promising all adult citizens $5,000 if Republicans win the next election. Where's he going to find 1 trillion, 349 billion dollars? There are people in this country dumb enough to believe this is going to happen, and this is why we can't have nice things.

You are overlooking the countless Americans who despise this Administration's policies but whose only power is the ballot. We saw through the nonsense but we were outnumbered due to the cost of eggs. It has been pitiful.

Dear Canada: There is only one solitary person in America who wants a trade war with you, our neighbor and best friend since the beginning of time. Please don't hold this against us as it too will pass in a couple of years. Carney is the kind of leader America needs right now, not what we have.

It is emblematic of this nation that we are living in at the moment that Darline Graham, sister of the late Lindsey Graham, has won her primary election, notwithstanding that she has absolutely no qualifications to serve as a senator other than her family relationship to Lindsey.

It has been almost 6.5 months since Nancy Guthrie was abducted in the middle of the night and she still hasn't been found or a perp arrested. How can this be? Tucson is a pretty good-sized city (550,000 inh.) so not really a backwater area. Is Sheriff Chris Nanos inept? Find her!

This is not good at all. Our stock of defensive arms has been seriously depleted for a war trump started because he allowed Bibi Netanyahu to talk him into joining Israel. No serious-minded military strategists thought this war was a good idea. trump started this war with no clear objective. Ugh!

He is an absolute clown. He thinks that no one can see what he is doing. The problem with our government is that corruption can openly thrive if Congress decides to sit it out due to fear of political retribution.

Monica Lewinsky is 53 and is tired of the Clinton jokes. Sorry. I am fresh out of sympathy. She wanted the attention at the time. This is the price that has to be paid for that decision. She might have considered this consequence before she started sharing her story with others.
