I don't believe trans soldiers as individuals are a national danger. As part of a cohesive military, they are problematic, imo. Did you read what I wrote? I said this issue is more about the intolerance of those serving with them. I wish that it were different.
Regarding Putin, you are not doing yourself any favors, imo. Why? Because by saying "... he submitted to him so much that the media called him a traitor." (him being Trump) you're admitting, 100%, that you believe what the media tells you to believe. There's more to critical thinking than regurgitating what Lawrence O'Donnell tells you to believe.
Regarding NK, I read the article you linked. I don't understand how that supports what you said before, which was "on the North Korea Kim Jong Un and Trump have literally played to those who had the biggest nuclear button." What do you mean when you say they "played to those"? Played? Who are "those"? There are only Kim and Trump in the context of that comment. It makes no sense to me. What does make sense to me is how Trump has dealt with Kim and NK. Sure, he blew hot air about NK and the nuclear button thing. That's Trump's way of dealing with a petty dictator, and for my money, he's dealt with NK better than all presidents going back through Bill Clinton. I wish you could judge him on how it has turned out, not on what your friends in the media tell you to think.
So, if 54% of Americans approved of Trump, you would too? Again, you're not making much of a case for yourself as an independent thinker.
Regarding the word literally, I have nothing against it. I will be critical when it's used in a way that I believe is incorrect based on its definition, which is: "in a literal manner or sense; exactly." Synonyms include: verbatim, word for word, line for line, letter for letter, to the letter, exactly, precisely, faithfully, closely, strictly, strictly speaking, accurately, rigorously.
Hopefully you get my point. So, if you have photos of Trump literally licking Putin's ass, I'm sure not just those 54% you mention, but the entire world, would like to see them. Well, maybe not "like" to see them, because who would really want to see that?
If you're using the word for emphasis of a point you're trying to make, I would advise against it. In written form, it comes across as making your point weaker. That's just my opinion. (I'm actually trying to help you here... although I'm not sure why.)
