Should Trump Have Let the Generals Drop the Mother of All Bombs?
Apr. 17, 2017 2:38 pmBy Thom Hartmann A...Dropping the so-called Mother of All Bombs on Afghanistan has earned Donald Trump another round of glowing coverage from the war-hungry Beltway media.

So why are they now threatening to shut down the government if police departments all over the country don't bow down before their far-right agenda?
