      Trump’s competitors can only seem to differentiate themselves by posturing as having the least humanity and regard for human life.

      This isn’t exactly something Trump would never say. Heck I bet he’s already said something similar in the past.

      Isn’t that exactly what Putin does? He runs all of the opposition parties to himself that are so far out, he appears as the moderate choice? And as we all know Republicans get all of their playbook from the Russian one.

    soooooooo… drugs in the us get in by backpack? it seems to me he’s saying to his supporters that Florida gov is going to shoot on Mexicans just because…

    and well, you know, if you yourself shoot someone…

    i was listening to radio a few days back, and this us writer said something along the line “I fear that an American (he was meaning us citizen) is no longer admired, so in my story I …”

    admired? are people from us really convinced that there’s a sort of consensus by which united states people were/are admired?

      Yes, and it varies between the gung-ho “AMERICA FIRST” people and the “well, at least it’s not (insert 3rd world country here) because they got no freedoms” people.

      As an American, I do not consider being American a point of pride. I’d rather tell people across the pond what state I’m from before telling people that I’m from America so I can distance myself from the US specifically, if that makes sense.

    Wakes up, sips coffee, makes loud, proud declarations against the Geneva Conventions. Yep, this is the modern GOP.
