    I am. "U.N." inspectors Blix & Ritter picked Iraq clean, right down to rummaging through Saddam's refrigerator. I'm not denying Bush made the claim. In fact, I'm quoting him. BUT ! What other governments? What lethal weapons? If it were true, why have they not yet been located? GWB's Iraq War...

    For my Canadian friends

    R5, Your #741 seems to me part philosophical, part idealism, etc. In terms of law, seems weak. Populist Jim Hightower might be proud of that. My opinion, in terms of free trade, tariffs are at least a metaphorical thumb on the scale. One example that may make tariffs seem less unacceptable...

    Log Cabin Republicans? Barney Frank? Perhaps the key word is "elected"? Those that were "out" weren't during the campaign? Congratulations Senator Elect Pappas.

    Trump's manifold faults & failings may distract US from the fact Trump's world-view bears similarity to the familiar Rorschach test, patients imparting subjective interpretations to abstract art.

    It appears you "get it" S2. For those that haven't yet, ice hockey has a superficial reputation for being played by contentious, violent, athletic thugs. In that context, ironic that the globe (the world outside the rink) is getting a lesson in civility from ice hockey. Vlad! You're in the...

    Trump says put "America" first, and then implements policies exceptionally detrimental to the United States. Who is at greatest risk of U.S. voters exercising critical thinking skills? Trump / MAGA / Republican political candidates? So they lie their way into office, & implement policies to...

    "Bump-stock". I know very little about such modifications, would certainly prefer an M-16-A1 instead of an AR-15 w/ bump-stock, in mortal combat.

    Prison, and the white house are both government housing. Trump has been serving his non-sentence in the white house, with plenty of time to have begun its demolition.

    Please pardon me if my #350 reply is topic drift. The word "permit" in that sentence is enough to reveal its factual error. "Permit" mean to allow, to grant consent. If such consent can be granted, it can be withheld, denied. If government can deny the permit application, it's a restriction...
