Absolutely. But that was the original saying. Going back to ancient Rome. ROMA was notable graffiti on Roman pillars. Not as praise for the state, but for as an acronym for: Radix Omnium Malorum Avaritia. ~ Root-All-Evil-Avarice. Older usage traces back to the Bible. Money = symbol of greed.

A third-generation descendant of Japanese immigrants, Mink faced significant racial and gender discrimination throughout her life. After graduating at the top of her high school class, she was rejected from numerous medical schools because she was a woman. This led her to study law instead. /2

Only a few weeks before the 2024 election, my family visited Washington and encountered this incredible scene.
We all thanked this gentleman for lifting us all. He still does.
Trump may try to erase MLK and other heroes from history.

Hegseth’s own “fog of war” excuse fully contradicts this new excuse, which they have clearly just come up with to try to keep him out of the Hague
EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military on Sept. 2 to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat because they were on an internal list of military targets, the commander overseeing the operation told lawmakers, according to multiple sources.
Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets
Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.

There has been no debate here among constitutional scholars, historians, political scientists, anyone with a pulse really.
Any telling you that this very straightforward point, one that has been universally accepted for a century and a half, is now an "abstruse" issue is just a liar and a hack.

It totally abandons the idea that we should stand up for freedom & human rights around the world.
Instead, it lectures our European allies & embraces authoritarian leaders who enrich the Trump family & their billionaire friends.

Time to act.
1. Arm Ukraine to Win - Ukraine wants to purchase weapons from the US
2. Bankrupt Russian Economy - already in dire straits.
3. Negotiate Peace with a defeated Russia.
