Three of the biggest donors in U.S. politics are billionaires Ronald Lauder, Sheldon Adelson (historically republican donors) and Haim Saban (historically, a democratic donor). Their number one agenda is Israel. Or as they are called, Israeli Firsters. Trump knows that donations drive politics in the U.S. and if he wants to survive what`s ahead of him internally and if he wants the support of the republicans, he will need to get the big donors on board. He also knows that the attention and the fireworks this move will start will take away attention from the cluster f*ck his administration has been at home.

As a near atheist, I’m reduced to something like prayer when I think of human overpopulation. It’s a terrifying problem. One possible way out is female empowerment. If women can control their age at marriage and fertility, then we have some hope of handing on a half-decent planet to future generations. In one Nigerian state, the median age at marriage is 14 at the moment and for the whole of Niger it’s 15.7 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_age_at_first_marriage Something tells me the girls involved have little say in the matter.

Agree, except on the "impressive results" (I think you were being a bit sarcastic, given your next sentence? ) Niger's infant mortality rate is almost 83 deaths for every 1000 live births. In comparison, Canada's is 5/1000 live births. I'm a firm believer in not having more children than you can look after physically, and emotionally.

That's not an answer. And that's not a repeal. You had to ad the repeal of the mandate to a separate and unrelated bill.

He was elected by the EC. The popular vote was for Hillary by about 3 million. Unless you distrust your voting system.

He was elected by American voters, not wannabes from Canada.

It's easy to make a million dollars if you start with a million dollars. Trump's success rests on having a rich father, not his own doing. Most of his businesses have gone bankrupt. There is nothing he has done in his entire life which strikes me as intelligent or perceptive, and he continually says and does idiotic things which hurt himself. Many believe he's inflicted with a mental illness, or perhaps early senility.

Bannon blathers on about Romney not having gone to serve in the military but he seems to forget Trump's little bone spur bullshit. What a freakshow he is.
