U.S. And Iran Each Appear To Step Back From Further Military Escalation | Deadline | MSNBC
Changing the Subject (Aka Forget North Korea, Let’s Start a War with Iran!)
My best friend Kim said Christmas
Was a good time for giving
Who wants any forgiving?
When a war can stop the living!
Let’s escalate the tension
As that always does the trick
It is also quite theatric
And exciting being scared sick!
There is no time for talking
Nor time for diplomacy
Because my lips slowly. See
How thinking does dip low with me
One threat, that is not enough
So let us fight with Iran
Fire and fury wither an
Old accord once made with Terhan
Now foes are quite hard to trust
It is hard to hold them near
Playing “Texts That Scold ‘Em”. Fear
And aggression costs very dear
But it’s a price worth paying
That’s a lesson I will teach
And the parable I’ll preach
To distract from that word “impeach”!
Very well said!😎👍✊
Trump : Iran is standing down= Bush : Mission Accomplished
Nothing has changed. One minute Trump is threatening fire and fury at North Korea and the next he’s having a burger with Kim Jong Un. Is he a fictitious president?
@PROUD AMERICAN TRUCKER Maybe Butterballs
PROUD AMERICAN TRUCKER you are stupid and there is no help for your affliction. But look at it this way: you are clueless and it must be bliss.
He is a fake president. A trojan horse. He is a brainless, gutless buffoon. A coward and a russian puppet.
You can shoot down missiles AND planes???????
lilMissE yes the us has laser weapons that can fry drones and missiles in mid flight.
This was definitely staged
Trump did all of this to show off to his Mar a lago crowd. He wanted his golfing buddies to talk about something other than impeachment.
He has blood on his hands now. Direct pathway this time. Welcome to the show Donald. It gets easier each time.
@october71777 He had blood on his hands since he bombed Syria based on fake news. Only the poor people he killed then weren’t important.
Scott Nelson get educated comrade…..
Scott Nelson better yet join the military…..
Donnie still going to fire the missiles, what a great distraction!
Certainly surreal. It makes no sense. Millions of people mourning, the whole world on edge, and it’s a blunder.
Seems lopsided.
That’s Because It Wasn’t Suspended To Happen In The First Place!!!!!! WH And People In It Don’t Know What Their Doing!!!!!!
That time when rump bullshitted and I was glad.
I guess withdrawing food stamps from hungry kids helped to pay for the ABM fireworks wasted in Iraq.
War profiteers and chicken hawks in ten thousand dollar suits and dresses make me want to vomit.
So the man who dodged the draft 4 times with false claims of bones spurs. The guy who has never had a fight in his life, never thrown a punch in his life, couldn’t punch his way out of a wet paper bag, is portraying himself as a tough guy leader who is the savior of America. What a joke. What’s even more funny yet sadder are the people that follow this cult leader.
Trump was on the fake wrestling show of WWE but that is as closest he got to a real battle. But he likes fake shows like that as fox news proved.
There is NOTHING in the least bit amusing about having a literally insane POTUS who considers himself King with his hands on the nuclear codes and him totally acting on impulse.
Why do these cult members trust him? I think they want simplicity or something.
Yes, But he is too uncharismatic to be a cult leader. He is merely the boy left in the hotel bathtub.
Stay woke… Smh, the interview with the Iraq prime minister said as those missiles were being launched that when the strike they was going to announce that it was them. Stand down, I don’t think so.. Sadly. The generals daughter demanded revenge for her father’s death and you really think they are going to lay down. Wait for it.😏
Tori Moore the calm before the storm.
Bullsh!t, this is far from over.
What’s up with this speech to the American people today by Lucifer the self declared dictator of the world…he sets a stage with hIs generals, Vice President, and military commanders standing on stage with the large door centered and opening with a bright light behind him like he is the Chosen One…Pure evil…wake up…
You’re a clown.
Appluaded for potentially starting WWlll but having the Iranians show restraint? Ok…
The bar is so pathetically low for this President.
This seems very staged I’m sure of it
Someone must have lassoed him in and stifled him. Why are these clowns protecting this mental patient
“Why are these clowns protecting this mental patient” LOL.
Totally. It’s so surreal and scary.
Okay, great. Now, let’s get back to impeachment and removal of this nut please.
Trump lies about everything, why would we start believing him now.
Welp he said it “just as he backed away from his fire and führer”
We need to “ferociously” dig our way out of those bases and bring our soldiers home.
