understand is ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES.

What about the little girls killed by that bomb and Fox News and the rest of the right-wing propaganda apparatus braying out the lie that it was a misfire of an Iranian missile. Were they there? Did they actually see whose missile it was? Because I'll tell you that if I was the parent of that little girl whose severed arm was found in the wreckage, I wouldn't give a rat's ass about the US losing $billions.

And the other issue is the Trump 'administration' telling our troops they are fighting in the name of Jesus to precipitate the Armageddon. What the blue fuck?????????????????? As if God needs any help from us doing anything.

Why in the hell aren't we talking about that? Because if these so-called Christians feel like bombing children and killing women and children is something somehow good because they are doing it in the name of Christ, that is an abomination.
