Iran’s military scoffed at the diplomatic effort and launched more attacks on Israel and the Gulf region, including an assault that sparked a fire at Kuwait International Airport.

By sending the Felon, as mentioned here on DU, a "big valuable gift" Iran is just being coy, per the Felon. Rapist President hears a "no," but he knows they really mean "yes".



What an idiot. Republican MAGA'S are getting our Americans killed. He's going to do stupid stuff while the Republican Congress watches it happen.

Like asking the rape victim after the fact , "was it good for you too ?

Read the bible to learn buddy "Sow the wind reap the whirlwind" or simply figure out what FAFO means.

Trump bragging about a huge gift yesterday sealed the deal for me. He is like a lying kid who can’t seem to stop.
