And I can tell you, these things do not go unnoticed in the rest of the world. Here in Europe, Trump's threat, (promise?), that Putin will be given a free pass to march into NATO countries, was greeted with shock and horror. As was the decision by Trump's puppets in The House, to go on vacation, rather than help Ukraine's fight against Russia.
I keep thinking that the GOP have sunk as low as they can get - but they manage to prove me wrong on a daily basis.
As Usual, Martin, in my view a fair and balanced and, more to the point perhaps, extremely accurate summary of how things stand. It is sickening. It is sad, It is immoral. It is frightening.
Perhaps you or others can explain to me but I fail to understand how, for all its failings and issues with equity and such, a freedom loving people and a nation once a leader of the 'Free World', which despite mistakes and self-serving interference in other nations, seemed always to have right, justice, and freedom as at least part of its aims, can have fallen into such a travesty of irrationality, stubbornly entrenched views that defy any logic, and reached a state where out of a population of around 340 million people, apparently neither of the major political parties is able to find a pool, or even one, superior candidate to lead the nation.
How can that be? Should it not be an issue that demands serious discussion?
Another great article Martin.

Almost enough sensation to drive a man to drink. A stronger man might just pray..
