(14,883 posts)17. That's fascinating. I have family in Ukraine.
        Ukraine and the US are two entirely different systems, so different as to not really even be comparable so no, what's happening in Ukraine  - or Syria  - or Sri Lanka doesn't keep me awake nights worrying about when it will happen here.
And no, I don't think Trump has the chance of a snowball in hell of being President of the U.S. although I confess to loathing him with every fiber of my being. But no, the sight of a few rag-tag knuckle-dragging morons giving him the Nazi salute doesn't turn his rallies into "Nazi salute rallies". We Democrats have to be careful not to engage in the fantastic rhetoric that characterizes our opponents.

        Great idea! It would be impressive to finally see a gun control fan actually DO something
