I have two problems with this theory: (1) the gunman had to have known he would be shot and killed; (2 - or maybe 1) Trump is a terrible actor.

The two problems I have with this are: (1) it's unlikely the assassin would have gone along with this plot, since he would be killed; and (2) Trump isn't a very good actor.

There's even more to the story. Mossadegh only nationalized BP after failing to persuade them to pay their workers a decent wage and live up to their agreement to share the profits of Iran's oil with Iran.

Also, Churchill tried and failed to get Truman's help. But he talked Ike into it.

Along with the Crusades: The Inquisition. The Thirty Years' War. England under the Tudors - and the Stuarts. The Ku Klux Klan. Etc.

Putin is a monster, evil, unscrupulous. But he isn't crazy enough to put up an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus.

The Tisza party is on track to win 2/3 of the seats, so from your mouth to God's ears!

El Pais is reporting that with 53% of the vote counted in Hungary, Tisza (Magyar) is on track to hold 136 seats in the National Assembly. 133 is a 2/3 majority.

Magyar says Orban has already called him to concede.

Truman refused Churchill's pleas for help in ousting Mossadegh (who had nationalized Anglo-Persian Petroleum - now BP). When Ike was elected, Churchill convinced the Dulles Bros. that Mossadegh was a communist (he wasn't) and they convinced Ike. Once again a Republican president screwed up.

Please do not use "my ass" in the same paragraph with "pedophiles."

I have to speculate that it was done with planning - by the Kremlin.

Fact Check: Did Ukraine run 'sting operation' providing false info to US that was leaked to Russia? The rumor circulated after French President Emmanuel Macron said France was providing two-thirds of Ukraine's intelligence

This is false, based on a misunderstanding of an interview: news.meaww.com/fact-check-d...

Yes, really. We are lousy at teaching history to Americans.

However, while the Moussadegh coup was a major reason, it wasn't the only one.

Mental incapacity only applies to a court trial. It doesn't stop an impeachment trial.

The rule on felons voting vary from state to state. Trump is a convicted felon, but he was not sentenced to any time, and IIRC Florida law allows a felon who has served his time to vote.

"REinstalls the Shah." Otherwise accurate.

Did Trump Really Tell The Queen To Pardon Ex-Prince Andrew? The Truth About The Viral Post - The List A viral post appeared to show President Donald Trump saying the deceased Queen Elizabeth II should pardon the former Prince Andrew, but it was a hoax.

While I appreciate the information, the chart shown here does not provide evidence of your claim.

More to the point, a classroom - contrary to the original claim.

An Iranian missile hit a kindergarten in Tel Aviv last night. Since it was night, no children were present.

Let's hope it never gets that far.

Proving once again that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Trump Has Already Won No, not in the sense that he won the war with Iran. The US is likely to lose there, much as we lost in Vietnam, and for much the same reason — asymmetrical warfare, which Trump does not understand. No...

Did Ron Johnson take himself out of the running?

If he refuses to sign a bill, it will become law anyway in 10 days (assuming Congress stays in session).

What makes you think Trump cares about Barron?

This is slightly inaccurate. The TN law permits health care providers (and insurers) to refuse a procedure that goes against their religious beliefs. A TN was in prep for sterilization surgery at a Catholic hospital when she was informed that the hospital had "“duty to protect her sacred fertility."

Well . . . let's start with Alexander going after the Persian Empire. Then there were the centuries of Roman-Parthian wars. I suppose Genghis Khan probably counts, too - I mean, 700 years after him, Persian mothers were still using name to get their children to obey.

i meant that this proves it was a war of choice.

The CIA has admitted it spent months studyingg Khamenei's movements so that they could determine where and when to strike. That is the opposite of "imminent."
