    Re: They are willing to destroy this country

    I think a greater threat is the Financial-Congressional Complex. Corporate influence on policy in general. The defence budget and policy aren't the only ones that've been hijacked. Halliburton, Monsanto, Goldman Sachs, Pfizer and its ilk. All just as much a problem as the defense corporations, if not moreso. For basically the same reason.

    The problem gets even worse once you start looking into it, like how people who worked for those corporations can and do take up government positions that regulate them and vice-verse. like Michael R. Taylor, who worked for the FDA... and then a lobbying firm with Monsanto connections, then went back to the FDA, and then Monsanto... and then the FDA again.

    I'm sure he was completely objective at all times when he worked for a government agency that is supposed to protect the people against corporations like Monsanto.

    Corruption, collusion, cronyism.

      A little sad,because even being a Republican John McCain has been a bit more moderate than some other Repubs.

      He has a brain Tumor,and so may fade out over time.

        Yes - very sorry to hear about that. I don't agree with his politics, but he is a very honorable man, with an awesome backstory.

        I wonder if this explains his weird Comey questions (?).
        Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

          I was sorry to hear that, too. Pres. 44 has tweeted concern/support. I don't know if 45's said anything yet.

            Warmonger is a moderate political position now? Jeeze, I guess so given the last president who wasn't was Reagan... if you don't count the War on Drugs.

            That's just normal now.

              Though I am not going to say Trump may be in a panic mode,BUT there is this.

              Over the weekend, one of President Donald Trump’s personal lawyers, Jay Sekulow, refused to rule out the possibility that the president would pardon his associates, or even himself, in the Russia investigation.

                On one hand, he has the option. On the other, it only works against federal crimes. The state of New York is looking into various financial issues around Trump and associates. The president can't pardon state crimes. Now granted, New York probably won't attempt to prosecute the Trump while he's in office. Trying that starts a fight with the DoJ* that New York probably doesn't want. Thing is, Trump is the only one with that protection except maybe Pence. The rest are fair game if a state can come up with cause to prosecute them.

                *It is the position of the Department of Justice that the president cannot be arrested while in office and that the correct answer to a criminal president is impeachment and conviction through Congress followed by further legal action as necessary. This is not explicitly referenced anywhere in the Constitution and no court has ruled one way or another to my knowledge but the DoJ is unlikely to change its mind soon and will probably oppose a state trying to arrest a sitting president. Of course, if New York tries then we get to see the matter before a court and it'd be interesting to see the commentary from the Supreme Court if it's tried. Hmm, it also makes a wonderful test for just much of an originalist Gorsuch is. I mean, if we're sticking to the letter of the law and the Constitution provides no protection from arrest to the president then it seems to me that the strict interpretation of the Constitution allows for a sitting president to be put under arrest.

                "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

                    The Fandango is it seems a dance that needs a lot of passion. Also,you may need some fast footwork,to avoid the infamous trip ups.

                      Re: They are willing to destroy this country

                      Trump is now asking his lawyers if his presidential pardon power allows him to pardon himself.

                      Also, his scam team are looking at ways to smear those investigating his "there's nothing there" activities.

                              ATTEMPTED to collude.

                              The evidence for attemting is pretty clear, thanks to Dumbass Jr.'s email release...
