At a Medal of Honor ceremony on Monday, Donald Trump spent more time talking about his new ballroom and the curtains than the recent deaths of 6 US service members amid his attack on Iran.

β€œI picked those drapes in my first termβ€”I always liked gold... blah blah blah."

They deserve better.

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?"

Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely."

"Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

BLOOD BROTHERS It took but a year for the monstrous Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump to destabilize the entire world

πŸ“ŒAll of this madness has been made possible by the most blood-thirsty president in United States history, who in the past year alone, has now bombed seven different countries, and put masked, murdering government agents in our streets.

READ THAT AGAIN.

Netanyahu on Iran war: "We read in this week's Torah portion, 'Remember what Amalek did to you.''
"We rememberβ€”and we act."
1 Samuel 15:3
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

Speaking in Hebrew to an Israeli audience, Netanyahu invokes Amalek again like he did before engaging in genocide in Gazaβ€”but this time with regard to Iran.

Invoking Amalek is a call to annihilate the enemy.

If it is shingles the rash shouldn’t be on the other side of his neck, if someone cares to look for photos showing the other side.

β€˜β€œIt’s not official government policy, at least it doesn’t appear to be yet…
