I don’t know, I just don’t think we should be making decisions with geopolitical implications that could result in millions of deaths and catastrophic damage based on a passage in Genesis.

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Behind Trump's unprecedented actions is the unitary executive theory, a once-fringe legal idea that asserts that the president has unlimited power to control the actions of the four million people who make up the executive branch.

Is anyone really surprised by Trump's behaviour? He's been a Russian asset for a long time.

In 2013, Trump tweeted that he wanted to be best friends with Putin. Nothing that happened today is a surprise. Trump has been looking to be Putin‘s wing man for a dozen years. This afternoon, he demonstrated his love for that tyrannical thug.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

I've no idea why Trump is being treated as an appropriate broker at all.
If this peace negotiation were serious, it would treat Trump as an intermediary of Putin and allow the EU to act as the intermediary for Ukraine.
It's a farce that anyone in the international community treats Trump otherwise.

This negotiation between the US and Russia, and cutting out Ukraine, is just like when Trump cut out Afghanistan and negotiated with Taliban.
We see how that “good deal” turned out. Afghanistan was on Trump

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator.
And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.
