Everybody has a right to love, live and be who they want to be, as long as it doesn't harm anybody else. Look for things that make you happy. There is too much hatred in the world.

Absolutely disgusting what happened. No diplomacy on the part of the US. Just bullying and shouting and not listening to anything Zelensky said. And then having the VP there lying too. 2 against 1. Wow.

The RFK Jr. Op-Ed the Los Angeles Times Didn’t Want You to Read
Eric Reinhart submitted a column critical of RFK Jr. to the troubled newspaper. What they printed under his byline bore little resemblance to what he submitted.

It actually would go deeper than that. Mary Trump, Felon's mother, never became a U.S. citizen, so she was still an Irish citizen, undocumented, when he and his sibs were born. Since he is a convicted felon, he should be deported under his own law.
