Wait a minute, fifa are expecting Iran to pull out of the world cup, surely as the aggressor the USA should be kicked out. Like Russia, yes?

So we’re just going to spend billions in bombs, kill the Ayatollah, temporarily degrade their military, then walk away and hope they learned their lesson? That’s the plan?

Is he lying or just stupid and senile enough to believe this?
Most likely both.
Doesn't really matter -- a lie is a lie and he does nothing but lie.

Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are two lawless criminals who will kill civilians to distract from their own corruption.

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.

Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program.

A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

Everything is clear except for:
1. What is the legal justification for war?
2. What is the political objective of the war/what are the conditions for victory?
3. What is the exit strategy?
4. How sustainable is the use of force over time?
5. How is US national security threatened by Iran?

I want the Buffalo Police to arrest the lying, negligent, cruel, incompetent CBP thugs who killed this man, even if they have to raid their offices to do so.

There must be accountability.

White House stalls release of approved US science budgets The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.

White House stalls release of approved US science budgets: The administration has not yet released funding Congress allocated to multiple research agencies, so they cannot provide it to funded entities/people - including NIH and NASA. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Birds Aren’t Just Declining. They’re Declining Faster, a New Study Finds.

"In 1987, the team found, each route had 2,034 birds on average. By 2017, that average had decreased by 304 birds per route, or 15 percent." 🌎πŸ§ͺ

This is the exact type of hypocrisy people are sick of in politics.

We need to be honest about who we are and who’s supporting us.

I think the Clintons have answered more questions about Epstein than the felon in the documents mentioned thousands of times. Interesting how silence screams guilt in this scenario.

Dept. of Defense shoots down Customs and Border Protection drone near El Paso: Officials Ranking members of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure released a statement on the incident on Thursday.

This is how screwed up everything is. The DOD shot down a CBP drone which cause the FAA to shut down the airspace around El Paso. We have stupid idiots in all levels of all agencies thanks to this Regime.
If we go to war, GOD help us.

Epstein’s victims deserve far more than β€œtransparency” they deserve justice. Voluntarily resigning from boards at retirement age isn’t a punishment.

The Democratic Party wants you to think there’s nothing they can do as the minority party, something the GOP has proven false over and over and over again.

These Dems are complicit in fascism.
