Just think what Trump would do if HE had control over these minerals? He’d milk every drop of leverage out of them.

You have to admire him for being able to “accomplish” all of this without lifting a finger or without being able to find most of the ex-combatants on a map.

Democrats should just start insisting that they saw very real videos of people rioting at Mar-a-Lago -- overturning golf carts, setting fire to the brunch buffet, stabbing busboys with carving knives, whatever -- and calling on Trump to send the Illinois National Guard there to restore order.

Transforming the US into a state of constant chaos.

I am reminded, naturally, of G.H.W. Bush’s crusade against my dad for his veto of a flag-burning bill, even though the Mass SJC (our supremes) had previously said it violated the MA constitution. GHWB did many a photo op in flag factories. Just the beginning of this petty nonsense.
