And re Trump. I don't like him. Hard to believe he's the best candidate Republicans have. But also watch what he does versus listen to what he says. He says lots of things. I'll eat crow if he 'invades Canada', but I don't buy it. He's a bully who says things to try and get his way.
Anyways, feel free to set good examples for your kids and call me pathetic and gutless. Tell your kids about how you felt better calling a random person a name because they happened to not agree with your stance.

Randomly cutting a cost so it matches an arbitrary time in history doesn't make a lot of sense to me. What do these consultants do? We've seen the mess random slashing of budgets is doing in the US. Common sense tells me don't copy that.
Trump was the perfect candidate for the Republicans. He's got the appeal (I don't get it, but he does) and he can push through a bunch of things that they pretend to be upset about. The US agenda is definitely not just the Trump agenda. He's a useful prop for a lot of powerful people.
And my social studies teacher in high school, back in the last century, said we were under threat from the US as soon as they needed our resources, so I'm not at all surprised with their current threats.
I will set a good example for any kids who may be around that I can think for myself and don't just shut up when some bully tells me to. If your opinions are solid, they should stand on their own merit.
