A president calling for the execution of elected officials is incredibly dangerous and un-American. It has no place in a democracy.

ISW: Trump’s reported peace plan is “fundamentally the same as Russia’s 2022 Istanbul demands”
The proposed deal would give Russia vital Ukrainian territory and allow it to conserve resources for future aggression, according to ISW.

This is exactly why I hate the Republican party, So much of their ethos is based on the idea that anyone who needs help is lazy or a crook. The "Welfare Queen" lie is the classic example. It will never change. They will never change. They are loathsome in their superiority and faux piety.
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."
