Which is why this is not fixable.

Some other country other than Russia will have to get all the others together and face the reality that our nukes must be taken

I hope the CIA does it first.

because putting country over party never occurs to them.

When he told a black reporter to set up a meeting between him and the Congressional Black Caucus. No one was amused by him.
