If you want to "gotcha" the Democrat to make them looks bad, this was a swing and miss ...

The US defense budget is bigger than the next 10 biggest countries combined. That includes China, Russia, India, Israel, all of NATO, etc. Let that soak in.

We're going to show the entire world why Americans don't get healthcare.

Lousy word use aside, then why did Trump insist "No War With Iran" in his campaign, insisting Kamala would go to war and that was bad ...

(Trump insisted Obama warring against Iran was bad, too)

Throwback to the biggest, most perfect dandelion bloom ever. Things are so stupid and evil right now, but the flowers will still grow and that’s pretty nice. 🌱

And most Kurds are separatists who only want to make a Kurdistan for themselves. Splitting up Iran into two nations will not excite the rest of the Iranians ...
