    I hope he keeps betting against President Donald Trump. After all, what is more hilarious than, watching extreme liberal trolls slashing their own throats? That is why we have to re-elect our great President. The entertainment value alone is priceless. With the bull market we are having, I imagine these ET trolls have very huge losses by now.

    The POTUS has threatened war crimes, military staff know that if they get an order to attack cultural sites etc. they have to refuse it. What kind of stupid thing is that other than he is being outrageous to create maximum smoke?

    And he is covering the news of this perhaps? Putin is having success after success with Bone Spurs, it is kind of ridiculous how much Russia is winning.

    "Val also shared knowledge that Trump’s loans were issued by DBTCA, not the main bank, and underwritten by VTB, ensuring that the Russian-owned entity would take the financial hit if Trump defaulted.

    Records show that DBTCA’s total assets are around $40 billion. At the time Trump took office, he owed DBTCA approximately $350 million – nearly 1% of DBTCA’s entire assets. Trump still owes $350 million to the bank, and his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner owe the bank up to $50 million."

    The Democrats and Iran
    Why can’t the party’s candidates simply admit Qasem Soleimani’s death makes Americans safer?

    President Trump’s order to take out Qasem Soleimani was morally, constitutionally and strategically correct. It deserves more bipartisan support than the begrudging or negative reactions it has received thus far from my fellow Democrats

    Only the fools will be fooled by Hillary, MSNBC and their allies.

    Of course you have to say you are ready to use them. So that others don't attack you.
    If you have them and not going to use them, it's like not having them at all.

  8. The Ayatowel-head should respect Trump. After all the Ayatollah is a man of decisive action himeself, eh?

    Includes "400 women." Way to go camel-fucker. You a real man. Oh, and who was the general in charge of the Quds force that carried this out and reports directly to Mr. Ayatollah? Well, let's just say that the aforementioned general "has left the building" and leave it at that.



    Special Report: Iran’s leader ordered crackdown on unrest - 'Do whatever it takes to end it'

    That order, confirmed by three sources close to the supreme leader’s inner circle and a fourth official, set in motion the bloodiest crackdown on protesters since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

    About 1,500 people were killed during less than two weeks of unrest that started on Nov. 15. The toll, provided to Reuters by three Iranian interior ministry officials, included at least 17 teenagers and about 400 women as well as some members of the security forces and police.

    I don’t know if it’s that easy. That is to say America is safer with this guy dead.

    The trump administration said this killing was to stop an imminent threat - their words, not mine - but are now balking at showing congress any evidence to support the claim. That’s shady.

    Now the administration doesn’t necessarily even need an imminent threat threshold to justify taking this guy out, IMO. He truly was a battlefield opponent and was active in anti American interests. We do this stuff everyday to less profile people. But that does now necessarily mean we are any more safe.

    Truthfully, we are less safe right now and does anyone actually believe the trump administration has thought this through to the third and fourth level?

    Iran is opening saying they are going back to enriching uranium as a result of this killing. We cannot allow Iran to Becky’s nuclear power. That means we will have to go to war. That’s not safer.

    Anyway, these things are not easy. When we take out a guy like Soleimani it does not come without a charge - there’s no free lunch.

  10. No doubt there are risks to stepping up to issues. And the Iranians and all the other bad-actors know that if a dem is elected they do not need to worry about you stepping up to any issues. They will just tell the dem president where to send the big check and the apology letter with it. Does anyone other than a dem feel safer thinking about that. We know your view. And it is pathetic.
