Flynn has a retard boner for war with Iran. He tried to argue that Iran did Benghazi with no evidence, which ended up being part of the reason Obama fired him.

No Devos is pretty much human garbage. I've watched what she's done to public education in Michigan.

I don't want to split hairs on the appropriateness and creative aesthetics of describing a woman's physical unattractiveness versus her legacy of infrastructure destruction in the current events thread so. It would be very nazi-like of me.

Maybe for every lame attack on a new administration figure, you have to say one nice thing about them?

DeVos is a dog faced ugly lady, but she has nice glasses. DeVos hosed over public education in Michigan, but in the process she showed us the true meaning of Christmas.

I'm going to go ahead and predict there actually are CENTCOM plans for dealing with Iran under a wide rage of contingencies.

Is her position that she's mad that Flynn talked tough without first preparing for imminent retaliatory strikes?

Lower in the tweetdeck, it recaps it. She went to her CENTCOM source and asked 'hey, was this a planned announcement and are you ready' and the CENTCOM source said 'WHAT THE gently caress DID FLYNN SAY?!'

On one hand, Tillerson is lovely. On the other, that pick could have been much, much worse.

Appointing Tillerson is an openly corrupt move that puts the interests of the oil and gas industry in front of those of the country as a whole. If you're saying it could have been worse, what are the positive aspects of Tillerson in charge of state?

It wasn't very meaty to begin with, since - at least according to his story - his mother was essentially at a point where she might not return from her next hospital admission.

But this type of dumb poo poo is what makes up the masturbatory fantasies of the Spicers, Bannons, and Trump to refute something massive with a single loving tweet. Good job.

Dover doesn't cut it. Until a politician has watched a human being completely pale white and soaked in blood with 3 of their detached limbs lying next to them take their last gasps of breath far away from their family and friends while a medic tries fruitlessly to keep them from drifting off, they can gently caress right off.

Tillerson was not and is not a sitting U.S. Senator, you're thinking of Sessions. And if he gets confirmed before her vote, no, he cannot.
