Scott asked:Can U give an example of his lack of compassion? Or his soullessness? Need proof? "Trump used a public cabinet meeting to call Somali immigrants “garbage,” saying that they didn't belong in the US...the rant against Somalis was an alarming use of vulgarity ...against an entire community.
Trump is missing the humanity gene, he has no understanding of love, empathy, compassion, forgiveness -we elected a soulless human being who delights in devaluing others… but what is shocking is not his amoral cruel behavior it is the fact that nearly 40% of Americans still support him

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Why Venezuela you ask? Yes, it is about drugs, but it is about Trump's drug of choice-his addiction to oil. Venezuela holds the world's largest proven reserves of crude oil, estimated at over 300B barrels.
