      They have concepts of objectives which consist of concepts of plans.

      This is a vibe regime ok?

        Not everything has to do with Epstein. War hawks have been drooling over this war for decades.

          The best distraction is something people already wanted

            Hence why Trump tried bringing up legalized weed, too. Not that there was much meat on that bone, but the avenue was at minimum explored.

          When the President is implicated in the largest honeypot and blackmail operation known as the Epstein files, mentioned and commented among the most out of everyone else, everything involves the Epstein files.

            Trump could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and rape a child, and he wouldn’t lose any voters.

          Maybe Trump is thinking “if Ukraine can avoid an election by starting a war, maybe I can too” 🙄

        Apparently asking about Trump’s press conference where he said the operation might take 4 weeks, but they will continue as long as they have to.

        As opposed to the initial statement that their operation would take 2 weeks.

        Bad move from the reporter. They should know this “minister” doesn’t have the slightest clue about what’s going on.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
