Just hours before the vote, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis held a closed-door briefing with U.S. sen…

Then he finished his choco-milk like a big boy, you betcha. | One question remains open and unresolved: Will Trump agree to a sit-d…

Trump's "America Incorporated"
L. Michael Hager | counterpunch.org | 2018-11-27
