This sheriff is a known whacko (remember he wanted to send inmates to help build Tramp's wall?!), so I believe the inmates. Why do people on the Cape keep voting this guy into office? He's a disgrace!

Fascist minded prison officials like Sheriff Thomas Hodgson are the rule in the American Gulag. I recall he wanted to offer Trump prison slaves to build his coveted WALL against our Mexican brothers and sisters ( mostly Catholic-not Islamic ).
It is a also a crime against humanity to neglect mental illness in the prison system. The real crimes against humanity go un-noticed by our Oprah Winfrey " liberal " Democrats.

Would the act of building the wall be more palatable if Mexico was mostly Muslim, and not mostly Christian?

Zionist Apartheid Israel has built a physical wall and a wall of hate against the Palestinians. " Liberal " Democrats are pillars of Zionist Israel. My point was that it should be fairly easy for the children and grandchildren of Italian, Irish, French, German immigrants to " identify " with these mostly Catholic Mexicans.
I oppose the New Colonialism in the Middle East. And the DNC based HATE RUSSIA New McCarthyism.

Ah. People do seem to empathize better with others more similar to them. Its a shame that religion needs to be that bond in so many cases, as it has also served to be a vehicle for hate and violence.

It's OK to "hate" Russia's meddling in U.S. elections and not "hate" the Russian people, right?

Giving Russia a pass on their interference U.S. elections in any way, shape, or form is not acceptable to me.

Any half-educated " liberal " knows how frequently the CIA will meddle -often murderously- in the democratic elections of other countries. The CIA was involved in assassination attempts against Castro of Cuba, in the assassination of Marxist president Salvador Allende of Chile. You can fill a library shelf with accurate accounts of CIA evil.
The defeat of " Corrupt Hillary " in no way required the Kremlin intrigue of Vladimir Putin.

Not sure what you're thrusting at, Ron. Here's my stance: the U.S. can in no way allow foreign interests, especially hostile foreign interests to meddle in U.S. elections. Do you disagree?

Can working class Americans continue to let the American plutocracy sabotage our " democracy " in U.S. elections ? Note how Hillary Clinton and the DNC sabotaged the " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders " political revolution ".

Do you condone Russian interference in U.S. elections. It's not a trick question. I swear.

Can they prove that this " interference " involved actually altering the VOTE COUNT - election fraud ? Propaganda is APPROVED here on the FREE SPEECH principle . For example : " Vladimir Putin thinks Hillary Clinton is the face of World War III " .
Yes, I agree with Bad Vlad here and appreciate his imput into the 2016 presidential election.
The Democratic Party is waging war on the FREE SPEECH and FREE THOUGHT tradition in the USA.
WE want to know what Russians think !

So you're OK with Russian meddling in U.S. affairs because you appreciate diverse viewpoints? That is astonishing. Nothing is stopping you from reading Russian websites, twitter accounts, etc. while at the same time abhorring Russian interference in U.S. elections.

What about the influence of the Israel Lobby , of belligerent American Zionists in our everyday political process ? What if readers of American newspapers were told that the source of editorial opinion in the USA is mostly rich and arrogant Jews ? But who am I to tell them what to do with THEIR money : like buying elections ?

Ron, is it your view that
> the source of editorial opinion in the USA is mostly rich and arrogant Jews
?

Is it TRUE or FALSE ? The question is taboo ! Why ? Let us hear from anti-Zionist- pro-socialist- Jews like the late professor Howard Zinn who thought Zionism was a big mistake for the Jewish people.

The question was "is that your view".

I feel I am being interrogated by some hack troll of NPR. Is there credible research on Zionist Jews controlling the mainstream news media in the United States ? Silencing the questioner is not an answer .
Also did working class Americans ever decide that WE have " a special relationship with Israel " and should have a hostile relationship with post communist era Russia ( where the Orthodox Church - close to Catholicism - has all but replaced the influence of those old Stalinist party members ).
What matters is not what I believe but what is true . My own investigation suggests that the infamous neo-Nazis do not lie about everything. But I can be persuaded that this is not the case.
Just WHO is presently censoring Google and Face Book ? Who are these anonymous monitors of COMMENTS who can't let even moderate criticism of their beloved Israel get by them ?

No interrogation here. Just trying to get to the bottom of this "I don't care if the Russians f' up our sovereign democratic nation" attitude. So far I've heard "well we've done it too" and "it's OK because I like alternative viewpoints especially if they're critical of those rich and arrogant jews". I don't feel particularly enlightened at this point.

Offer your obtuse mind to others here not comfortable with the Establishment view of things. Not a single independent spirit is employed by the mainstream news media -whether controlled by Zionist Jews or just the generic American plutocracy.
The enthusiasm for both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders in the presidential election of 2016 cannot be explained by the wonderful state of American " democracy ".
You say nothing about yourself ? Just a regular " patriotic " Hillary or Oprah Winfrey supporter ?
For years I have voted for socialists or near socialists. I voted for Ralph Nader who was falsely accused of anti-Semitic views..
I voted for Bernie Sanders ( a Jew ) in the Rhode Island Democratic primary in April of 2016. Sanders had a shocking victory here but the state delegation supported " Corrupt Hillary " at the convention. Sanders supporters were slandered by the DNC as " having a propensity for violence ". The New McCarthyism is being promoted by all those neo-con, pro-war, HATE RUSSIA Democrats. They are all out of touch with the white working class, with working people in general.

So now you're saying you don't think "the source of editorial opinion in the USA is mostly rich and arrogant Jews"?

Do you think it's possible to be against Russian interference in our country and not hate Russia?

You speak and think more like a U.S. Information Agency propagandist. My " diplomat " uncle was assigned to Rome in the 1960s- very pro-American, anti-communist ( Russia was EVIL) fluent in Italian , congenial, the opposite of the " Ugly American " - and full of CIA/FBI baloney. I loved him anyway. ( He met frequently at the house of one William Casey ).
Human beings will always find ways to meddle in other people's lives- in their own interest.
What has Putin's Russia done to the United States that justifies this official hostility ? Deprive us of " Corrupt Hillary " ? Hillary Clinton defeated herself. And those working class voters in the Rust Belt states owed the Clintons no loyalty.
You can love America without being an " Ugly American "- or a pro-capitalist, Teddy Roosevelt imperialist.
[ the question of Zionist Jew influence in the news media should not be taboo. Some scholar told me that there is no such thing a stupid question.
Let anti-Zionist SOCIALIST Jews speak for themselves. I suspect that they are being bullied by idolatrous state worshipers of modern Israel.]

Ron, it's a very simple question: Do you think it's OK for Russia to meddle in US matters?

A political illiterate ?

Just asking for clarification. Do you condone Russian interference in U.S. elections.

If you dont have a mental illness before solitary confinement, you'll certainly end up with one after.
