Sanctions + Sanctions against sanctions

I'd call ISIS left-wing extremists. They practice communal property and are basically commies. As an end-times cult, they believe we're all about to die anyway, so personal property rights are a moot point. The right wing of Islam would be more like Saudi Arabia.

Exactly, they are both so far extreme that they make a circle and are the same thing. No surprise they share some characteristics because the result is the same - chaos controlled by bloodthirsty dictators.

The opposite of this chaos is moderate democracy. The far left and far right are both pretty dangerous on their own but not chaotic and certainly not peaceful.

I still don't understand all the furor with the leaks about Trump wanting to lift sanctions on Russia like it is some sort of high level treason. Trump openly stated he wanted to improve US-Russia relations, including the possibility of ending sanctions. He won the election. Why are the media and far-leftists acting like this means Trump is being controlled by Putin?

John McCain is p!ssed, too. That's the real danger to Trump on this issue, the chance of his own party turning against him. Pence is an empty suit who will rubber-stamp any legislation from the Republicans, so they have every incentive to get rid of Trump whenever he becomes too much of a problem.

Normal impeachment requires 2/3 of the Senate to convict, but there is a clause in the Constitution that has never been invoked. It states that if the VP and a majority of the cabinet deem the president to be unfit, he is to be removed. It makes sense that presidents are so concerned about loyalty from cabinet appointees. They have the right to turn and bite the hand that feeds them and stage a coup, provided the VP is on board. And who wouldn't turn down that promotion?

But what has he done that makes him impeachable? Besides, what is meant by "unfit" to be President? I would assume that was meant for someone mentally incapacitated or in debt to some foreign nation or leader.

Trump actually agreed with Bernie on a few issues, like repealing nafta, but of course those are among the many promises that are never going to happen.
