The Biden administration failed to protect Hormuz because it is "straight" If it was the "Gays of Hormuz", it would have been securely guarded. And now America pays the price.
Alice is strictly indoors (doctor’s orders, also I would be terrified to have her outside because her coat wouldn’t keep her warm, and she would be hard to spot against the snow). I have a couple that would go stir crazy if they couldn’t go out, and a couple that have never been out on their own, and a couple in between.
On the bright side, "The American Revolution" will soon be renamed, just as "The Great War" was.
Your move Schumer
A strongly worded letter.
Donald and Bibi happy to go to war if it keeps them both out of jail.
Good thing Congress isn't alive to see what Trump is doing.
Trump will have us at war with the rest of the world by the time these files run their course.
Wait'll the Democrats get the gavel next year and turn hearings like this around.
New post to be OT in now!
This could start world war 3. But having Mario and Pete and the others in charge makes one certain that nothing will go bad.
Nah, the US only fight people who can't fight back.
So comforting to know that steady hands are on the wheel.
One of which looks like it's about to fall off one of the drivers.
Iran doesn't have an ally who could trigger that, they're kind of isolated unless Kim does something... but the dice are rolling....
Well, other than Russia . . .
Russia isn't going to do shit.
Russia's probably in on it. There's nothing Donald does they don't approve first. His autobiography is called "Yes I Can...If Putin Says It's OK"
You mean, in cementing the start of the war?
No immigrants to pour the cement after ICE...

He's not confused at all; it's a distraction from the pedo files
Thank you!
My pleasure. Looks like he posted it about four hours ago.
Someone told Trump becoming a war president would erase all his troubles. What's several thousand maimings and deaths compared to that?
Oh fuck it. I just made an *adult beverage*.
Just?
I've got you beat by three hours.
All things considered that's not really a brag....
Slacker.
Stupid mom wanted me to stupid drive her to stupid shops......stupid fresh fruit and vegetables! Stupid prescription!
Now do an *adult movie*.
Just make sure it's not a rental. I hate it when I get a "used" rental.
Clarification on "do".
I'll let the mind wobble....
I was afraid of that.

Paxton may win that Primary...

To get at least as far as their old man got
But something happened on the way to that place
They threw an American flag in our face"

I'm shocked.
Which super rich motherfuckers are going to get even more rich now?
Oil and shipping companies for sure.
AOT.K!!!!
And here I was thinking that fuckface had every contingency planned for. Or, at least, that's what 𝘩𝘦 would say.
Except for all those contingencies everyone warned him about because...
YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!!!!!
His strikes have brought the price of crude down 1400%.

Rep Jim Himes (D-CT), top Democrat on House Intelligence Committee:
“Everything I have heard from the Administration before and after these strikes on Iran confirms this is a war of choice with no strategic endgame…”
Ah, the Bush Co. gambit: "We've no exit strategy because we never plan to leave."
Fucking brilliant.
The Biden administration failed to protect Hormuz because it is "straight" If it was the "Gays of Hormuz", it would have been securely guarded. And now America pays the price.
What "Command and Control"??
WARFIGHTERS!!!!
U.S. Navy can't protect? Has to be Joe Biden's fault. How dare he start this war!
They're counting on this thing to be over quick, like Venezuela....
They're gonna be pretty damned sorry.
A lot of confidence...when has that ever gone wrong in the Middle East?
Gee . . . it's a real shame no one could see that coming.
As I said earlier, gas up today before prices spike.
I paid 2.5 bucks a bit ago.
Well done, comrade.
More snow. Snore snow.

That is an amazing amount of snow. Some sweet babies don't seem to be bothered in the least.

I wonder if this is that ninth war Trump said he would stop.
Or Ninth Wave
It is easier to rack them up when you start them, after all....
Makes tracking them easier, too. Or, so one might like to think.
It sure as hell expediates lying about everything.
Caturday... Mr. Mick has the right idea about dealing with (waves hands vaguely over head) this:

Hey, Comer: YA BURNT!
The stupidity runs strong in this one.
Weapons-grade.
