    So it’s genocide. What then? Or, say it isn’t genocide. What then? Any difference?

    Definitely good...but we've been here before. Certainly not trump's fault if it recurs but certainly some odd flexing today given the circumstances.

    Such a great moment for now, you sure wonder why trump feels that it is necessary to bring up prior administrations multiple times to insult them. The absolute worst possible leader we could have picked.
