      And Trump says it is to protect Christians because they’re being heavily persecuted. Those poor poor Christians.

        I’ve never met a more prosecuted majority in my life. 😔

          Is that prosecuted or persecuted? Hmmm, actually both fit perfectly in your sentence

              I’m interested! I thought both words derive from Latin prosequi/persequi and had essentially the same meaning as modern English. Which language do you speak?

      Always- no.

      Since G.W. Bush? Yes.

      Obama and Biden kept it going, Biden actually restored it after Trump 45 left it to languish.
