Even those acting pro bono.He signed an Executive Order banning not-for-profit workers from a federal loan forgiveness scheme if they were deemed to have engaged in "improper" activities.

The same day he ordered that the US no longer provide Ukraine with satellite photos of Russian troop moment – which could tip the war in Russia's favor over night. So on that day I think he did more harm than good. Cheers and happy weekend!

I think a few other countries are sick and tired of Trump’s deals and Trump will be eating a lot of crow.

When Johnson was asked if he was standing by Haynes - he said, "I am. I am." .

What would Joe 6-pack do if his other neighbor offered to protect him (with no guaranties that he actually would) then demand that he gives him his hot tube?
What would Joe 6-pack do if the money he needed to protect his property was suddenly cut off?
What would Joe 6-pack do if his starlink system was cut off by a friend of the neighbor that invaded his property?
I think Joe 6-pack would say F that.

Diners in a Windsor, Ont., restaurant were stunned and elated over the weekend when an American couple picked up the lunch bill for the packed establishment. The lady from Ann Arbor, Mich. said -
"she hates what the United States is doing to us and she doesn't support it. And she's so happy we won the hockey game.
I think there is a lot of Americans that feel the same way and it will come back to bite Trump. Cheers! less
