• A Civil War For Control Of The U.S. Government Has Erupted Between ‘The Deep State’ And Donald Trump

Trump’s family, friends and business associates are all fair game. Politics in America has become an exceedingly dirty game, and many believe that this is an indication that our republic is in the process of failing. I really like how Damon Linker described this in an article for The Week…
