Trump invaded a country that posed no imminent threat and kidnapped its leader. He is indisputably a war criminal. He should be removed from office and imprisoned.

Lessons learned are quickly forgotten unless they were learned in terror, or sorrow, or shame. Wisdom can always be rented for free, but it must be purchased with pain.

I'd never thought I'd ever complain about having more old hifi/stereo equipment than I know what to do with or have place to store (this is just part of the latest haul).
