Appeasement gets a bad rap:📺👇
History proves the hardest call in war is knowing when to fight. Appeasement (WWII, Obama and Syria) often lets aggression grow, but rushing in (Athens at Syracuse, Vietnam, Iraq) brings disaster. It's not as simple as appeasement is bad.

📺👇 It seems that public pressure from President Trump led to the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. Democrats are raising alarms about political influence over the Justice Department. Comey remains defiant: “I’m innocent—let’s have a trial.”

The left calling Trump a fascist is like the right calling MS-13 a violent gang. It will lead to polarization, and it is everyone's job to tamp that down, but to back down from the obvious truth would damage the country more than it would help.

The Justice Department is reportedly close to deciding whether to bring perjury charges against former FBI Director James Comey. Let's face it, Trump doesn't care about the rule of law--he only wants to terrorize people who hurt his ego.
