Is there a narrative to this, or is it just a video of people fighting at a gas station?

US to send troops and air and missile defense to Saudi Arabia as Trump announces new Iran sanctions after oil attack

It seems reasonable to assume that the Supreme Leader of Iran is out of his mind.

This little nugget seems awfully reminiscent of "they went to Africa and they bought some yellow cake." Right before we invaded Iraq.

"Iran has denied responsibility. Yemen-based Houthi rebels, locked in an ongoing war for control of the country with Saudi Arabia and its allies, have said they are behind the attack.
US officials have refused to accept that and insist Iran is responsible, though they have not yet presented evidence to support the claim."


In case the yellow cake reference was missed,

This is what liberals are outraged by today:




Yes. A woman of color, speaking honestly about she and her family escaped from persecution in a socialist country, is being described as "a huge problem," and people are calling for boycotts of stations which aired the ad.


Man, the truth is hard...

Default Sad News - Michael Mendel Has Died

Is it wrong that my first concern about this news was about how it would affect the upcoming new Rick and Morty shows?

Democrats: "We must conduct an investigation into possible wrongdoings by the President""

Robert Mueller: "After two years and hundreds of interviews, we can find no specific evidence of criminal behavior by the President."

Nancy Pelosi: "I don't like that answer. We must immediately create a select committee to begin impeachment proceedings against the President!"

Democrats: "Yeah!"

Seaman Jones: "This one's gonna be close!"

Q: What is the battle hymn for the Saudi military?

A: "Onward Christian Soldiers"

Here is a video of Joe Biden bragging that, while he was VP, he blackmailed the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor who was investigating his son's possible corrupt dealings with Ukraine's largest energy producer, Burisma Energy.

(1:50 - 2:30)

Orange man bad.

Remember when people only got impeached for treasonous crimes, like conspiring to assist Britain in capturing Spanish territory or receiving a blow-job?
