Your analogy is flawed. The EU is not an equivalence to the Trump regime imposing nonsensical arbitrary trading policies onto a sovereign state of Canada.

I can’t grasp why Trump has such an immense and immovable lock on red state voters. I just don’t get it. He’s a born and raised New York real estate developer. What’s the attraction? I’m seriously asking.

Interesting detail in this story about a group trying to overturn same-sex marriage, blaming gay people for child sex trafficking and abuse: Their board chair is Paul Guppy, a frequent guest on @kuow.org's Week In Review. WiR often includes a conservative POV, but this is hateful extremism.

I realize now that “America first” and “Zionism” are politically connected. Right-left hands of the same ideology . It’s amazing. The great grandchildren of colonialism.

US Troops are stationed in Germany for one reason: to protect the United States. They are NOT there to protect Germany. In the event of a genuine attack from overseas, troops stationed in Germany (and elsewhere) greatly reduce the US response time. Trump is punishing America, not Germany.
