That's crazy.

I totally oppose the concept of enhanced family guilt (Sippenhaftung in German).

Unless other members of the family are criminals/terrorists as well of course.

So, if you have a family of 5 with 2 terrorists among them and 2 kids and one other - you should definitely not drone their house.

I'm sure he won't mind going to prison when Don Jr is convicted of treason, then.

And yet according to some on this forum, you shouldn't refer to Trump as a sociopath because he hasn't been evaluated and diagnosed by a psychologist. Never mind that he is the very dictionary definition of a sociopath, it just isn't right!

In addition to being a sociopath, it's looking like Trump might also be a sadist, a dangerous combination.

I doubt FuzzyBear would, he notably broke with Trump over executing drug dealers, and this is even more extreme than that so I don't see why he'd agree with it whatsoever.

Trump is the kind of person who'd easily support the three generations of punishment.

Leave Fuzzybear alone, LandslideLyndon. It's clear you don't know what you are talking about.

so true... it makes me so mad (as an actual hawk) that Hillary was called a hawk. She had pretty moderate foreign policy.

But according to the communist internet chatrooms, anyone who isn't to the left of Dennis Kuchinich in terms of foreign policy is a hawk.

Hey now, lets not insult garden variety sociopaths by comparing them to a traitor and wanna-be war criminal.

Drug dealers kill tens of thousands annually. Terrorists’ families do not.

'Hawk' can mea. different things in different circumstances. It can mean anyone who supports America's bloody and interventionist foreign policy, which includes almost all politicians and a great deal of the public. It can also mean someone who eagerly supports or encourages open war between the United States and some presumed victim-state. The supporters of the latter are mostly limited to extra-deplorable GOP politicans and a good part of the Right.
