    Imagine not having the balls to step up to a sniveling, whining, crying, man baby like Donald. Those aren't men. They are lapdogs. All that draft dodging man baby has done for the past few years is lie non-stop, whine, cry, point the blame on everyone but him, and call himself a victim.

    Peace deal is very close! Iran is surrendering all of their nuclear ambitions and their military has been wiped out. All of the USA's objectives will be achieved. ANOTHER massive foreign policy win for Trump.

    He's a journalist, why is he supposed to be an ally?

    I would HOPE that journalists are allies to democracy since their industry is solely dependent on that maintaining their ability to be independent and not propaganda for tyrants.

    We don't need people like Greenwald to be allies of one party or the other, but we do need them to be allies of the people and our freedoms that are only served in a democratic society.

    TBH I don't think on his face Greenwald is an ally to democracy, but don't know all of the facts behind the scenes to prove that. Just what I suspect that he's compromised at some level. Likely from the Russians based on how much of a Pro-Putin Anti-Ukraine mouthpiece he's been.

    Greenwald went from being a civil rights lawyer to becoming journalist with a near sole focus on opposition to the war on terror, and has been a heavy critic against US involvement in virtually all modern wars since, anti-interventionism has always been his main thing? Along with his focus on government corruption with Snowden and his work in Brazil.


    I can't really make the connection of throwing a 30+ year career focused on civil liberty being thrown aside, claiming he's against freedom and democracy because of his stance on Ukraine. Maybe he just feels different and is being consistent with his views on war?

    Sounds more like a political activist, one very critical of American foreign policy, than a journalist.

    Journalists usually don’t take sides that openly, and when they do, they back it up with solid facts.

    He tends to take sides based on very loose evidence. I recall him supporting the online theory that Ukraine was developing biological weapons with US funding. There was very little evidence to support that, and it was a narrative pushed by the Chinese and Russian govs.

    We have a base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. I think we've had troops in place to attack Cuba for over a century.

    This is why neutering Iran is so important. The Islamic terror threat against the world must be stopped. Iran is the #1 sponsor.

    While attention is on Iran, what we’re doing to the Cuban people isn’t cool. It’s basically harming people to pressure their gov to change. Reports of widespread food and medicine shortages due to the US embargo.

    Point is, 'troops in place' isn't nearly enough information.

    This **** is so funny that I predicted it months ago. Iran agreed on giving up it's nuclear program before the war and you claimed we couldn't trust the irgc ever and giving them money was treasonous and could never be done. Suddenly now giving them tens of billions of dollars is amazing and trusting their even more radical supreme leader is amazing.

    You sincerely gotta laugh at how shameless these cultists are. The way Trump controls their brain is truly fascinating.. They have zero original thoughts

    Look at most Congressmen . . . none are Alpha Males they think they are
    Just a bunch of Toadies.
    Pick an English King - he and his knights and lords or whatever
    could kill all of them in a day's work in Hand to Hand

    We are lead by a bunch of nerds who were bullied in high school
    Half become weakling who want to do good but too weak to do ****
    the other Half become Toadies to the biggest among then who became a bully later
    All of them will fold like Origami with one swift punch . .. . . .

    THIS IS THE FACE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND ALOT OF THE DEMOCRATS!!

    "You wrote to me once, listing the four chief virtues: Wisdom, justice, fortitude and temperance. As I read the list, I knew I had none of them. But I have other virtues, father. Ambition. That can be a virtue when it drives us to excel. Resourcefulness, courage, perhaps not on the battlefield, but... there are many forms of courage. Devotion, to my family and to you. But none of my virtues were on your list. Even then it was as if you didn't want me for your son. I search the faces of the gods... for ways to please you, to make you proud. One kind word, one full hug... where you pressed me to your chest and held me tight. Would have been like the sun on my heart for a thousand years. What is it in me that you hate so much? All I've ever wanted was to live up to you, Caesar. Father"

    ND his cultists @El_Conquistador @Commodore @raining threes spent years calling Obama a treasonous traitor for giving them 5% of this amount. How many of them will attack their cult leader?

    It's such a dumb group of people that you almost feel sorry for them
