        I see absolutely nothing whatsoever unreasonable with the Secretary's remarks. This article is a joke, sir.

        So now psychologists can make diagnoses of people they've never met based on selectively edited quotes too?

        All window dressing to demonize & de-legitimize someone who is intent on enforcing laws they do not like. Sad that Steven can't see that.

        America is beginning to resemble an army with a country. Trump rushes to extol the sword and medal far too casually.

        Classic ploy. Instill unreasoning fear to lead people to accept freedom-stifling policies, trading liberty for a false guarantee of safety.
