Our Idiot President “Can’t Even Surrender Right” We will get the worst possible result from the least-worst choice.

Illustrating once again the extent to which the Venezuela raid emboldened Trump to engage in further military adventurism.

The struggle is real.

I’ll put many fake* dollars on Trump extending the deadline past Wednesday, lying that Iran has agreed to things it hasn’t actually agreed to.

Veterans: please accept this flag honoring those who have died in this war

It was literally two weeks ago that he promised to destroy the entire Iranian civilization. And a month before that, his military bombed an elementary school that killed at least 150 young girls.

Release the #EpsteinFiles!

FAIL. They can't hold the strait, much less control Iran's weapons program or society. Everything they do is wasting time & money, possibly more lives.

Did they donate a few million 💰 to him and their problems magically went away?

Kernen asks Trump if he'd drop the investigation of Powell in order to get Kevin Warsh seated on the Fed. Trump responds by ranting and raving about the Fed building renovation project and suggests Powell is taking a cut of proceeds.
