forget the other stuff for a moment. did you hear what that idiot said about the KURDS? he said they've been treated VERY badly by the U. S. that's VERY significant here because he's the one who betrayed the kurds just a few months ago, allowing 1000's to be killed and tens of 1000's to be displaced and relocated!

@elizabethwhitacre8627 … yes, trump has done and continues to do our country AND the world great harm. the dems have been MUCH too lenient towards him. they should've filed at least 5 articles of impeachment including numerous violations of the emoluments clause and the illegal use of emergency declaration to circumvent congress. and it wouldn't have been a bad idea for them to include the fact that OVER 800 former prosecutors signed a petitioned stating he should've been prosecuted as a result of the mueller probe and about 1000 psychiatrists signed a petition questioning his mental stability and emotional capacity. the dems criticize him and complain about him a lot but that's NOTHING if its not accompanied with ACTION to protect our country from the incompetent and irresponsible behavior of this out of control gangster doofus. and then of course we have the damned GOP who's even worse by not only excusing his corruption and incompetence but encouraging it, enabling him and protecting him. they've become complicit with trump's crimes. and they're PROUD of this fact. but I particularly liked your last sentence. I've been saying this since the election. trump ISN'T the legal president. the mueller probe proved it but I knew it long ago. stealing an election doesn't make you the winner. he's merely PRETENDING to be president and NO ONE IS STOPPING HIM! it aggravates me to no end when I hear the news media, or anyone, refer to trump as president. by doing so they're giving legitimacy to a FALSE PRESIDENT and the corrupt and illegal 2016 "election" that put him in the Whitehouse.

@englishsteve1465 ... no, I haven't heard about that. i'll look into it. thanks. but I do know of the Whitehouse email "dump" that resulted from the freedom of information act requests by several American orgs. they were released, of course, heavily redacted. sometimes the ENTIRE email would be blacked out except the salutation and the closing. they do this using the old, go-to claim of "national security." but someone got a hold of the unredacted versions and guess what? the redactions had NOTHING to do with national security. the redactions were just covering-up the crimes they've been committing. what else is new? our govts, and the corporate elite that own our govts are committing all kinds of crimes and covering them up under the guise of protecting national security! secrecy is a VIOLATION of democratic principles and human rights! we need a society where SECRECY in the public and private sectors are no longer excused and tolerated. I've been pushing for this for DECADES! we ALL have a right to know EXACTLY what our businesses, our corporations, their technocrats and THEIR govts are up to.

@englishsteve1465 … YES! and before the 2007 global economic crash Iceland was one of the countries afflicted by corporate fraud the most. its my understanding those Icelandic corporate thugs were prosecuted and sent to prison! some countries seem to be on the right track while others like the U. S. and Britain seem locked in a system of corruption our "leaders" have no interest in ending. the so-called "conservative" leaders in the U. S., which include BOTH MAJOR parties and the media, spread an unfounded FEAR OF and DISDAIN FOR the solutions to social problems implemented by other countries. they reject corporate accountability, nationalized medicine and tax-funded education for life for, apparently, no other reason than that they're "foreign" ideas. of course this isn't true. MANY americans have been pushing for these things for OVER 150 YEARS! I can't speak for Britain, france or germany but I do know the American elite have used ethnocentricity and xenophobia REAL successfully over the decades to stifle ALL REAL social progress. and this is INDEED a VERY dangerous practice!
