      Normally that would work but the majority party also got to power by convincing their racist scum supporters that they would focus on fixing the homeland rather than spending billions bombing the other side of the planet. A whole branch of the current Republican diaspora seems pretty unhappy with this bullshit. That said I’m sure the tantrum will be short lived and they will get back on their knees in no time.

        We’re making America great by making the rest of the world more shitty.

        This is the bully method. Knock everyone else down to make yourself feel better.

        He’s making us “great” the same way Lord Voldemort did “great” things. Terrible, yes. But “great”.

        That said I was watching Order of the Phoenix with my kids last night and only made it to winter break when the kids fell asleep. I fucking hate Umbridge. It’s painful watching that movie in the current climate. Even more painful knowing that JK is closer to her IRL than any other character.

        We’ll see. I have little faith that those traitors don’t fall in line almost immediately. These people are pure evil.

      You can tell the US and Israel are a bit desperate too as they are still asking civilians to enact the regime change for them trying to reach people via Telegram.

        You’d think if that was their plan they wouldn’t have sat back and watched Iran kill tens of thousands of protesters earlier this year.

          It’s always their plan to try and mobilize the local population into regime change, it’s a common CIA playbook. If the citizens are killed in the act the US doesn’t care, it’s not their citizens being massacred, it just means they need to switch gears and find other options to start applying pressure.

        A 6 day old post about a 2 day old tweet from xhitter. Wow.

      It was the steak and lobster that tipped them off? Not every ship going to the Indian Ocean?

        Ships get repositioned all over the place all the time. It’s always a threat, but usually it’s just a threat.

        The troops getting a moral boosting meal? That comes with an announced mission or deployment. Especially since there’s no holiday on Friday the 20th of February.

    The IDF or US hit a girl’s school. Killing at least 24 girls.

    I’m surprised the Epstein class didn’t traffick them out. Probably a talkative witness or victim amongst them.

      At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that they did smuggle them out and then blew up the school to cover it up.

    It’s a little too late to distract from Epstein. Whatever the fuck just happened in Cuba last week is a bit more timely
