For those who just watch fox news we're up to an estimated 700 million dollars of damage, completely aside from the human suffering for no definable reasons. The murders and the justification for murders, the protecting of murderers, and the celebration of convicted murderers in the local MN GOP.

What relevance does that have to this discussion of the executive branch causing willful damage? It just sounds like you are trying to say that its either false, misleading, or just a place where that happens so why give a shit.

None of those really seem like worthwhile to bring to this discussion.
