There are a very limited number of countries to which we sell the Tomahawk missile, and Iran isn't among them.

"I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? Why did we sink them?' He said, 'it's more fun to sink them.'"

Oh, no biggie. Just the president of the United States out there boasting about the commission of war crimes, to the uproarious laughter of his Nazi cohort.

let's see if I've got this straight

the war is over, pretty much

except if we want to bomb iran some more, or israel does

or if iran decides to keep the strait closed

also the regime didn't change and we didn't accomplish anything but blowing up a bunch of kids and poisoning tehran

ok good work

A narcissist will tell the same lie as many times as it takes for you to question what's the truth. If they say it enough times they know you'll start believing it too.

totally concur, as we had one for the past three years and it was great for city driving! our only issue was how light it is in the snow/ice, so perhaps better for somewhere other than rural northern Michigan, but a fun and great little car!

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats too want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

πŸ’― this. Bad idea to launch a war when you’re presiding over a divided country, a dysfunctional government staffed by amateurs, and a hollowed out, bureaucracy at home, and have managed to piss off almost every ally abroad. No amount of US military skill can offset this political incompetence.
