Some people seem to have no sense of history.

Like Hitler, Stalin ordered the murder of millions of people and like Trump his willfull or ignorant neglegence killed millions more through preventable or intentional famine.

When the stakes are high enough, we will work with any ally we can find.

We can tolerate working with Liz Cheney. She's far better than Stalin.
