      Thanks for that.

I love political mud wrestling. I love defending my own side. Sure. And I've said bad things online politically. But somehow folks - we gotta get back to being "Americans". We're getting tribal. I think in another generation - 20% of us won't even speak the same language as the rest of us. And then we'll be like Sunni vs Shia , or Croat vs Serb. how can we dial it back? Anyway - thanks for your gracious comment on Bush.

There are other topics you can research related to the Bush's, but you might be put off by it and label it "conspiracy theory". There is a video where G.W. Bush accepts being part of Skull and Bones. Once you see that interview where he admits he belongs to that secret society, look for videos that explain what Skull and Bones is.

    One of the greatest traditions of the american democracy (inexistent elsewhere, even though the British have a long tradition of political humor ) is these annual mundane reunions where the president is invited to deliver a humorous speech with sometimes self-deprecating remarks, often not devoid of a political message, in a relaxed atmosphere. It is something i truly admire as a non-american. Unfortunately, not all presidents are able to laugh at themselves, it takes a lot of brains and wit to be able to perform this exercise.

What Hillary's supporters don't get is how can an intelligent person vote for someone that says they dont "believe" in global warming (like saying you don't believe in medicine, flight, air conditioning etc.) and has proven to lie over and over. Respectfully, you do know that Trump Plead the fifth 97 times while under oath. Really trying to understand.... Thanks One more thing- you do know that by abolishing the inheritance tax as he proposes it will save his family 2 billion in taxes. You don't see that as a huge immoral conlict of interest? Thanks!
