I voted for Evan McMullin last time. I probably won't vote for either the Dem or Rep candidate. Just like last time.

I didn't like that Carter and Kennedy (Ted) reached out to the Soviets for help against Reagan. And I hate the Republicans for reaching out to Putin. Disgusting!!! I assume Trump will be the GOP nominee. The whole party is crap now. Even if Trump fled the country to Russia or was removed from office and imprisoned, the GOP would run Trump. Their souls have been eaten to use Comey's metaphor.

This was tweeted back when Lindsey Graham was an American. Now Trump has eaten his soul and he's another Russian shill:

Lindsey Graham?Verified account @LindseyGrahamSC

Just when you think it can’t get worse: A leading American candidate for President praising Putin.

What’s most chilling about Dobbs’s book is how his account of the early years of World War II echoes our politics today. Xenophobia, isolationism, a fear of destructive infiltrators and an aversion to more war all conspired to keep refugee quotas low, when they were filled at all. Robert Reynolds, a Democratic senator from North Carolina, thundered in a Senate speech that “if I had my way I would today build a wall about the United States so high and so secure that not a single alien or foreign refugee from any country upon the face of the earth could possibly scale or ascend it.” It was sentiments like his that may have kept Franklin Roosevelt from raising immigration quotas and accounted for obstructionist (and anti-Semitic) State Department policies.
