Well said. Everyone around Trump are just worrying about personal gain. Trump is doing it, why not everyone else. Makes we wish George W. was President instead.Originally Posted by IdolEyes787
The Germans voted Hitler into office as well.Actually the rigging of the system via gerrymandering effecting electoral college votes and not the majority of population voted Trump in. Even then it still required the massive and illegal assistance of the Russians. Any of this probably wouldn't bother me nearly as much as a sizable percent of Americans who still apparently support him and his many corrupt sycophantic officials. Even that doesn't bother me as much as people like Kellyann Conway who are neither racist, stupid nor blind to the damage and for personal gain continue to lie for the dangerous foulness that is Trump and his ilk. That is the truest evil.
Btw you are entirely right in saying that you can't justify your actions by saying someone else is guilty of it as well. If you could then all criminals would immediately walk free as they aren't unique in any of their crimes.

For some reason (GREED) after WWII the United States decided to become the World's police. Maybe they originally wanted to prevent another Hitler. If we didn't have nuclear weapons Putin probably would be. If the US didn't interfere in other countries business, we wouldn't have this problem. But who knows what things would be like if the US didn't. Could be better or worse.

I used to watch The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which was absolutely hilarious. Remember watching Colbert tiptoe in in his early days and found him also quite funny.I totally agree with both your thoughts... it's a total shame you don't watch and or get Stephen Colbert's Late Show... a nightly chuckle I get listening to him... setting my mood for the day ahead.
(HBO's "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" achieves the same eye opening experience... though weekly and is available in this forums favorite format for ROKU / PC viewing.)
Should probably give him a shot thanks for the tip!!

Whatever you think of the US, they are terrific at irony.
