U.S. Military Refuses to Endorse Trump Claim That Iran Bombed Girls’ School β€œIt would be inappropriate to comment given the incident is under investigation,” CENTCOM told The Intercept.

Remember the good old days when politicians tried harder to make up lies. Now it’s β€œthey punched themselves in the face I guess”

So tone deaf. None of them care about kids once they’re born. And when will Melania learn English? Seems like ICE would would want to deport someone that sounds like that.

Gas prices in north Texas are now $3.20. Maybe the single celled idiots will finally get angry about something and realize their β€œleader” is a huge screw up.
