United States Republican Party and their love affair with Russia.
The narrative I typically hear through the media is the sort of simplistic answer that is normally given by a talking head explaining why people vote for Trump, “Oh, they’re racist”, sure it is an answer but it is the sort of answer one would give if one didn’t want to look any further than…

Random thoughts on my day off.
