Eventually we will have our own home-grown "ISIS" here. To me, although I lack first-hand knowledge, aside from fear of punishment, what motivates a person to fight and die for their country - surely can't be for the type of GOP government that this Congress is offering.

One day the oppressed are going to start listening to someone - someone that is going to be one hell of a lot worse than a Trump, one hell of a lot smarter, and one hell of a lot meaner.... and then, the chickens will truly come home to roost. Trump is the precursor - sadly, I suspect that if things do not change, and within a generation - there will be hell to pay for the U.S.
