Because he knows that the trash that has been electing these people over & over ARE that stupid and/or evil. My opinion of anyone who votes republican has been very low for a long time - but never as low as it is now. I will never see them as decent human beings again.

Literally, inventing enemies for Americans. This is the problem.

Again, the reason you can tell the legal theory underpinning these strikes is b.s. is that, if it were taken seriously, it would allow Venezuela to drone yachts off the coast of Florida.

Because we have allowed a handful of people to get filthy rich & given them the power to rule the world to suit their own agendas.

We did this. We voted for it for decades. The people we elected gave these few men all this power.
