I legit know zero progressives that criticize the actions of the us and ignore the atrocities that many of these dictator regimes enact in their citizens.

Drinking game; take a drink every time you want to die, hopefully die before the speech is over

I’ve given up drinking so I can’t even join in

Trump is going to beat his chest and make more threats. Can't wait.

Are we still going to have Dubai and Haifa when I go to bed, or wake in the morning?.

it's kind of interesting

the world waiting and watching, knowing that one high school bully punched another kid, and wanting to create space for that kid to punch him back - but make sure he doesn't go overboard and bring a knife or something, otherwise everyone will step in. and the bully kind of knows he was in the wrong and doesn't want everything to go totally overboard, so he is kind of fine with the kid getting a few shots in, but not letting him go overboard

and then everyone goes back to class

we'll see if that works

Fucking great

All is well!

Nobody mentioned impeachment on any of the networks tonight!

Did a Ukrainian plane just *completely coincidentally* crash in Iran the same day this went down and Putin happens to show up in Syria?

That sounds like a much bigger deal than this weird tit-for-tat ceremonial warfare we're fighting now.

There’s that story. My first question is who was on the plane that the Russians or Americans wanted dead?

Jet fuel can’t melt 737’s or Iranian missle complexes.

Ukraine are saying the crash was not related to terror.

Or it's the all the same thing.

Let's all hope that's the end of it.
I'm concerned one of Iran's proxies will get a little bold and do something on their own their & start this all back up again.

Iran is surrounded by something like 17 US airbases. Imagine doing that in Canada and Mexico. We came to the brink with Russia trying it. Who’s in the wrong here?

Still processing this tweet from former major leaguer Aubrey Huff:

So America is a planet now.

And what the fuck?
