you're right. I assumed she hadn't motivated enough people to vote for her on account of the fact that she got less votes and lost, but now that i've seen some pictures of her waving at a crowd and laughing, i understand that she clearly did a good job and won the election

yes it is the job of a political candidate running in an election to motivate voters. it's quite literally their only job until they get elected.

Excuse me.

Oh, God. Oh, no. Holy shit. Get away from me.

I was wondering if you knew where the bathrooms are.

Look, I'm ... it's not a crime to scroll through your high school girlfriend's Instagram account. We remained friends after high school! I was at her wedding! It's only natural to see how she's doing.

I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'm afraid that if I choose the wrong corridor, I'll be late for my train.

I think they're down that way, but I'm actually from out of town. Please stop talking to me.

Real quick, though. I agree that it's natural to be interested in an old friend, but aren't you afraid about the message you might be sending by liking a picture of her at the beach from 2015?

If that did happen, and I'm only going off your word, it was probably an accident. They put the ... scroll bars or whatever ... close to the thumbs up button. People have been complaining about that for years. I've been complaining about that for years.

Two decades ago, my son’s tank fell into the Euphrates in Iraq. The only way I can ever feel closure is the US bombing a different Muslim country.

Why are so many bases being successfully hit?

There should be no world in which we planned an attack in Iran, expecting counter strikes, and have had our defensive systems exhausted so rapidly?

We should have been stockpiled with enough patriot missiles to defend these things for weeks…

I mean part of the answer is they sincerely didn't think Iran would follow through, since the US leadership has demonstrated they do not comprehend their enemies as human with capacity for thought, but also things never work the way you *imagine* them to. Even unlimited stockpile wouldn't be 100%.

Americans are often shocked when I tell them that according to every single Arab Barometer poll issued, which tracks opinion across almost all of the Arab majority states, the US is consistently listed as the number one threat and impediment to regional stability.

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

Trump & Co have been talking about US military action for weeks, if not months, and positioning the assets to do it - long before such intelligence ever could have become a factor. This is transparent nonsense.

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster

The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion."

The next tweet says: Today is a great day. 

Our military is amazing. 

@PeteHegseth
 is an absolute killer. 

Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. 

It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. 

He actually gets it. 

God bless him.

Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position.

The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could.

He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran.

I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. 

The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran!

He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! 

Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.
