Americans must understand the Ukraine scandal is the continuation of the Russian influence campaign that infected the 2016 election.

Paine: "And these are the times that try men's souls........."

When Paine uses the word “try” in this context in “The Crisis,” he means something like “test.” In other words, he is saying that the times they were living in were the times that tested men's souls. ... Paine is saying that some people will not stand up for their country and their freedom.

Words that are never so true as our countries current situation................

Money itself is neutral. It can be used to save lives, feed the hungry and provide life’s necessities. And, of course, used for fomenting evil in all its forms.

I wish Democrats weren't so afraid of linking the Mueller investigation to the Ukraine scandal but I understand why they are.

all roads lead to Russia!! She's right. That's the reason (I think) that he acted like he didn't want to give them the military support they needed, because it would have made it more difficult for Russia to occupy that country! As we all know by now, Trump loves Russia!!
