CNN is hopelessly broken.1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law.2. It would violate several treaties.3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

Oh, did he “tease” seizing other countries’ territory, @cnn.com? What a little scamp he is. What an incorrigible rascal.

The US bought the Louisiana Purchase from France. That’s not the same as Trump threatening other countries. Another CNN failure.

US President-elect Donald Trump over the weekend suggested the US should retake the Panama Canal, an idea that was immediately rejected by the government of Panama, which has controlled the passage for decades. Here's a look back at the history of the canal.

The below statement by Elon Musk is authentic. The AfD demands a “reversal” of Holocaust remembrance in Germany and states that the Nazi Schutzstaffel were “not criminals”. More here—> amp.dw.com/en/how-much-… …and here—> http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/10…

Elon Musk weighed in on the German election, saying only the AfD party, a group with neo-Nazi ties, “can save” the country. It was not the first intervention by Musk on behalf of once-fringe anti-immigrant parties in Europe.

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man in the world who has recently decided he is an expert on federal spending, says the only acceptable course of action is to shut the entire federal government down for at least one month.

Pardons are unpopular, especially Trump's plan for J6 pardons (voters oppose 59-33). Also, voters favor path to citizenship vs. deportation 55-36. And, 51-38, they oppose his tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico and China. I have 2 questions: Seriously, folks? WTF?poll.qu.edu/poll-release…

News Analysis: The criticism of President Biden's pardon of his son from within his own party underscores how far gone his relationship with Democrats in Congress already was, our congressional correspondent writes.

You left out the fact that the majority of Democrats in the country support the pardon. Apparently, we take the potential for Trump to keep attacking Hunter Biden more seriously than our representatives do. bsky.app/profile/toda…
