Been out and about on errands and such most of the day. So, regarding this war we’re in, what’s today’s euphemism for this war that the warrior wanna-bees, cowering from lawyers, don’t want to admit is a war. You know the one we’re now requiring unconditional surrender in order to stop. #Iran

Republicans are locusts.They emerge every 8 years or so, launch an unnecessary war and destroy the economy with the same economic policy that destroyed it the last time, then go back into hibernation while the Democrats spend the next 8 years or so repairing the damage.
