I am just aghast at the massive stupidity, racism, religious radicalism, gun nuttery, vicious bombast, psychopathic candidates, al al that is going on in the US.

Something is radically wrong with this country when so much mayhem goes unanswered. Perhaps I am getting too cynical but we cannot seem to do anything about our problems without there being a partisan political war about the most inconsequential problem. If we still had duels much of Congress would already be gone the atmosphere is so toxic.
Now we will go through hate and vitriol over the Iran deal. One party wants to nuke them and invade the Middle East with multiple combat divisions. The GOP seems to want to destroy everything. Yet they have legitimacy thanks to the criminal MSM.
