Wasn’t that Michael Corleone?

Why does Trump encourage talks with Putin? Because of the old saying: “Keep your friends close but keep your enemies even closer.”

They had their chance

Why didn't the Republican Congress speak up when we Democrats solicited their opinions and help on the original Obamacare plan?
