LakeVermilion's JournalPerhaps this has been discussed before, but ...
what if other nations decided to get in on United States politics too?
China won't let Russia get away with World dominance, nor will NATO. Suppose they decide to slip themselves into the 2018 and 2020 elections and they oppose Trump/Republicans. I don't think that the Republicans are thinking long game here. If they don't keep the Russians out, our elections could become a battleground for the World.
This could get really messy.
Musings...
1. Any chance that Mrs. Trump is a Russian agent that keeps Donald focused? I think that shes more involved than the press acknowledges.
2. Democrats should run their fall campaign against Russia. The Republicans have opened the door to that. Vote for an America, not Russia.
Just sayin.
Is it true that crossing the border illegally is a misdemeanor?
I heard that on MSNBC this morning, I wanted to make sure.
If that is true, its an all time low to separate families for misdemeanor. Furthermore, to not be able to deal with this in a week is shameful.
Perhaps the worm will turn when China puts tariffs on US oil products...
https://www.msn.com/en-us/finance/markets/china-delivers-on-retaliatory-tariffs-as-trade-feud-heats-up/ar-AAyGZbZSure farmers are going to pay, but that was expected. Perhaps the unexpected is that crude oil products would be subject to tariffs.
Perhaps urban/suburban Americans will benefit because our country will have a surplus of oil, so prices may moderate.
Anyway, the "easy to win" trade wars can quickly spin out of control.
Children and PTSD, just wondering
I am not a gun owner, nor do I shoot at a gun range.
When I viewed the video of the Parkland shooting, I was stunned by how loud the gun sounded in the hallway. In my mind, I wonder if there might be a lot more casualties than the dead and the wounded. Think about all those shootings in schools. How many kids had to hear the loud gunshots and have nightmares or years later encounter PTSD.
Even the police wear ear protectors at the gun range.
Shame on America. What are we doing to our children so gun loving snowflakes can be fully satisfied.
Seriously, when you're in charge of each branch of government,
why does the vote have to be 2 hours before a deadline? If they were serious about running the country, the CHIP and DACA wouldn't be included in this bill. Last Friday's vote is typical of America's bullies: always creating a crisis to belittle or gain advantage from someone or some group.
I hope we buckle up for the long haul. We can't continue to push this confrontation down the road. Congressional Democrats need to force Republicans to their knees.
