John Fetterman tweet Operation Epic Fury. President Trump has been willing to do what’s right and necessary to produce real peace in the region. God bless the United States, our great military, and Israel.

What a fucking ghoul.

Border Patrol dropped a blind Rohingya refugee at a Tim Hortons 5 miles from his home on a freezing February night. Didn’t call his family. Didn’t call his lawyer.
