78. Where is the damned middle ground in throwing children into cages?!

Sep 2018

Or in banning all Muslims entering this country? In this much touted middle ground they demand we give in to some line that they draw? Where can we find a common line regarding Putin’s future plans for us, or climate change, gun control, letting women have the right to choose, or just about any other crazed Trump policy.
