“Iranian backed militia” = Iraqis who dare to resist the illegitimate American occupation. And who led the fight against ISIS in Iraq.
Markets are REALLY gonna love this!
Dangerous times.
Just when you think things can’t get any worse…
Trump may think this wagging of the dog will make people forget about how disastrously his administration is bungling the COVID-19 outbreak and the freefalling economy, and he’s wrong.

No, actually, don’t. Seriously.
Nope; I’m not fucking with any of that shit right now, thanks.
No, actually, don’t. Seriously.
Fucking right???
Again, that’s NOT helping.
Well, not necessarily for you.
Other people might feel more like poking things with a stick and seeing what happens. I am just interested in promoting something that seems on point.
He’s scared. As long as he doesn’t get a test, it can’t come back positive. It’s a toddler’s idea of safe: as long as I keep my eyes closed, the monster can’t get me.

The Trump Presidency Is Over
It has taken a good deal longer than it should have, but Americans have now seen the con man behind the curtain.
