I don't blame Trump because white supremacists like him. I didn't say that. His daughter and grandchildren are Jewish for Gods sake. Re-read what I wrote. Hillary lost the election and no longer is relevant.

Re: new president - 8 months ago
I don't disagree. But you cannot have Antifascists without Fascists (or at least the fear of fascism rising). I would call ANTIFA anarchists. They are chaos seekers. Fascists seek authoritarian governance. Quite different motives. Just because neo Nazis "sig heil" Trump does not mean he's a Nazi supporter - we know he ABSOLUTELY IS NOT.

Facts can be bent, the truth cannot. I don't need pundits and op eds to decipher facts and distill the truth for me. Journalists are flawed truth seekers that cannot divorce personal filters. Pundits and propagandists purposely spin information to support a political agenda and call it news. Unfortunately, most people don't know or care that there is a difference.

Re: new president - 8 months ago
Really? Nazis could be recruiting as well. You cannot have Antifascists without fascists. This is not a chicken/egg scenario. Fascism is a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression oby Gator's Mom - Under a Coconut Tree

You mean Virginia. Yes, this was a planned assembly by Nazis and White Supremacists called Unite the Right that was legally permitted for downtown Charlottesville. However, the Nazis instead chose to assemble illegally on the UVA campus on Friday without permission from the university. It was meant as visual intimidation on the campus and a call to war.

You can ship pets air cargo on Delta. Quotestxsailor Delta will not accept pets as checked baggage any more. AA flies a 737 for MIA daily and an airbus A320 from Charlotte on Saturdays.by Gator's Mom - General/Relocating

The bag and pet/dog combined cannot weigh more than 20 lbs to go under the seat on American. The pet/dog must be able to stand up and turn around in bag as well. They will weigh your pet and bag prior to boarding in Miami. An alternative is a kennel and air freight service out of Fort Lauderdale that ships pets overnight into the Caribbean to avoid the heat of the day.

Sanctions hurt the Russian people but not Putin and his global aspirations. They have given Putin an opportunity for a PR campaign blaming the US/West for Russia's current economic downturn.

Re: new president - 8 months ago
World domination is Russia's/Putin's goal. A weakened US is a step forward in achieving this. The benefit is removal of US sanctions against particular nasty oligarchs (friends of Putin) proscribed by the Magnitsky Act that limit their access to the US and its banking system - including their assets in the US. Any reference to Russian adoptions is a cloaked reference to the Magnitsky Act.by Gator's Mom - Under a Coconut Tree

Russia is our enemy. Never has been a friend - never will be a friend. Where do you suppose its ICBMs point? The USSR and its agenda for global domination has only changed in name to Russia.

The $320 million in US aid to Mexico mostly supports law enforcement against the cartels. A wall will do little to deter these cartels given that boats and airplanes are available.

Enforcement was down during the last year's of Obama but certainly laws were still enforced as necessary - particularly for criminals.

The shoreline of the US is over 95,000 miles long. The US border with Canada exceeds 5,500 miles. No matter what, the US border will remain highly porous because of this.
