    Do you believe

    That connecting US aid to investigating one's political opponents is the same as requiring action by the country in regards to policy, such as immigration. AS Mulvaney claimed and then spent the following 2 days trying to walk it back.

    And there is, but should it be to benefit a political campaign?

    Far as I can tell lots of ppl make ridiculous amts of money all the time, put on BODs just because of their connections. Is that illegal?

    Have you ever loved anyone with an addiction?

    It should be illegal when pappy is passing out my part of $1.2B to safeguard it and if not illegal it should definitely be exposed. I’ve been fortunate never to be confronted with an addicted son or daughter, and if I had been I would not feed facilitate the addiction.

    Ultimately they all do. Victors and spoils and all that. I propose that my solution of cutting the money to these crooks is more effective than legislating morality. Each of us has a moral compass that points a slightly different direction. For example, I find Beto's gun control talk as offensive as Trumps potty mouth. I won't likely find myself on Trumps casting couch so one of these is more real to me than the other. No offense to anyone who was groped by the president.

    Can you imagine the strings attached to arms sales?

    Show me the politician that WOULD NOT use his/her position to make money. They are all out for # 1 . There is NO WAY a person on a salary of 175000 per year should become a millionaire in two years , but, most of them do . If they are not taking bribes to put forth regulations that will aid someone or something then they have a money tree in a pot at their house.

    Now, I also believe that Trump may not be taking bribe money at this time, He seams to have enough without doing that. He may be but, it isn't obvious. All reports indicate he has lost money since taking office. At least that is what the talking heads on both sides say.
    Individual rights are protected only as long as they don't conflict with the desires of the state .
