As an atheist the more I learn about it the more I realize religion is tearing that place apart and I blame mostly Christians in the US for this mess.

Since everything is legalized politicians don’t need to break the law and take bribes but they are trying to pin bribery on him over the Ukraine-Trump scandal. They tried out quid pro quo then changed it to extortion. I favor impeaching Trump because he is abusing his…[Read more]
