Dunno, I don't have Trump's business outlines, but having a "disproportionate" support from Russia 8 years ago, do you think Trump was entirely divested of them in 2016?

Probably. After all he said he had no deals, no loans, no nothing in Russia. Trump seems to be a straight forward guy to me.

lulz.

But seriously, why is there so much opposition to an investigation? If they aren't guilty, they (and their lapdogs) have nothing to worry about.

[Prosthetic Conscience]

In many animal species, much of the animal's energy is dedicated towards killing off other members of its own species who possess greater reproductive fitness. It should be easy to see how communism is an extreme manifestation of this in human beings, even according to its own dialectic; they just call it class warfare and a dictatorship of the lower classes. If left unchecked, it can turn entire countries (like Cambodia) into a black hole of human failure.

To be fair, even this instinct can probably serve a useful purpose in some cases but like most things, there's a time and a place when it is appropriate and like many things, it's usually not.

No, this is completely wrong, and you've really misunderstood biology and evolution. Few species involve killing competitors for mating, though injuries can sometimes prove fatal; the competition stops reproduction by those with less fitness, not more. Ironically, the human economic system this is most like (though it's not a very good analogy) is free-market capitalism.

So a biological impulse didn't manifest until after the industrial revolution for some reason?

And the Khamier Rouge, you know, was bankrolled by Reagan and Thatcher and destroyed by the Vietnamese communists. Is that really the example you want to use?
