“Rising Lion” and “Midnight Hammer” ED medications, what a giggle.

Oh, David you do have a way with words!

It’s not horrific enough that Israel has made itself into a pariah state but now unbelievably, the US will back their play against Iran all in aid of keeping another evil old man in power. The current occupant is going to get us all killed. Any day now one of the terminally delusional “leaders” will up the ante & go nuclear to show his Rising Lion chops.

Keep your loved ones close.

President "Bone Spurs" AKA "Habitual Liar", now wonders why we don't believe him about his bloated story of how much destruction his (Legally Questionable) attack on Iran amounted to. His praise of our Military aside; The Men and Women who proudly wear our uniforms are not his to use as political props are our Troops, not his personal pawns.

Wow, John Kavanaugh belongs to the Know Nothing party. He just proved that. Also today, I looked up the definition of «rogue state » . Turns out the US is an actual rogue state.

I’m a Vietnam combat veteran. 101st Airborne Division, 1970. Your words are right on point. I appreciate your writing, and hope that we can have some positive impact on the way this trumpian mess comes out. Thank you.

Trump once declared that "I know more than my generals." This, oddly enough, may be true when you consider that he was referring to 'his' generals, not the country's. Except for the 'hand-picked' bootlickers of the MAGA senate, the spineless soulless MAGA congress, the meritless MAGA cardboard cabinet, and the J6 supreme court 'black robe singers' the world knows 'his general's' are the little green plastic ones Melania gave him as a wedding gift - if he promised to stay in his own room.

All is true! Hysterical that Kavanaugh reads your incredible writings. Yes we know it’s always the Dems fault. Always. Yes, money was freed up and given back to Iran and many of us Dems disagreed with that move. The money was theirs but was stored away from sanctions. Well deserved sanctions. But Obama put forth the deal which was approved by several other countries. And undone by the orange guy. Didn’t like the “deal” but never an explanation of why. Sigh. I’m exhausted. Thanks Fitz.

So what policy do you support? Was it Clinton or Bush allowing them to continue developing nuclear weapons? Was it Obama who did the same but also gave them billions of dollars in freed up money to not only develop nuclear weapons but support proxy terrorist all over the Middle East? Or was it Biden, who projected weakness, which is probably why they felt comfortable in attacking Israeli civilians, an act which started the whole war in Gaza? Pick your poison.

Every president since Bush insisted that Iran would never get nuclear weapons, but it was only Trump who was true to his word. The Middle East and the world is a much safer place today because of President Trump.
