And it is all the result of people with conservative values. If those with said values opposed this constitutional travesty and tragedy they (the majority) would have stopped it. Our country, our constitution, our future means nothing to Republicans.

Nor are the Army soldiers as smart and courageous as my uncle's army buddies. In a conversation about Trump's latest campaign rally with the army as a backdrop my uncle said it made him sick to see those in uniform laugh and nod in agreement with everything Trump stupidly spewed out. They should have sat stoned-faced through the entire ranting.

They are unlawfully impersonating police officers, kidnapping, and human trafficking. Arrest a few hundred and let the fun begin.
