serious question: is anyone keeping an eye on GOP foreign policy dirty tricksters?

Not just the guys who make backroom deals like whatever happened with Russia, but the people who deal with the people who can make bad things happen?

I don't know if Prince Bandar is still in that line of work, but I'm sure there are people in Washington know who the likely players are.

We can't afford another 9/11 or worse when Trump and Bannon are in charge.

On Trump, Australia & Mexico

Isn't it odd that Trump could go off on the leader of one of our allied countries when he is talking on the phone, but when he met with the president of Mexico in person, he didn't have the balls to bring up his idea of making Mexico pay for it?

I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between the two interactions besides physical distance and whether Melania put his meds in his smoothie that day.

Why Democratic voters want Democratic politicians to oppose everything:

During the Baby Bush administration, they opposed next to nothing.

Even during Obama's years, when they went bipartisan it was often on the wrong issues.

Many Democratic politicians can't be trusted to take care of their constituents instead of their donors and the GOP golfing buddies.

That has to change in the next two years, or we will be even more screwed than we are now.

We need a party for the rest of us not another business party minus racists and homophobes.
