WNU Editor: This is going to be vetoed by the President. My main concern is that Iran will see this vote as a sign that there is strong opposition within the U.S. to President Trump's Iran policy. I can easily see the mullahs being embolden to continue their policy of confronting the U.S. and their Middle Eastern allies. They may even escalate it.

I hope President Grandpa doesn't start a war because he soiled his diapers. Somebody should take away his phone.
Trump is not the boy king Obama. Unlike Obungles, Trump has not started a war.
Obungles started Libya and Syria.
"Iran Is Committing Suicide by Dehydration"
The Islamic Republic’s corruption is draining the country of its most precious resource: water.
If the Mullahs do not buffalo a bunch of twerps like Di-Fi, Chuck U. Schumer, or "Fighter Pilot" Blumenthal, they are toast.
Water scarcity in Iran threatens not just its agricultural self-sufficiency but may also strain its energy exports in the long term, two sectors it hopes to rely on to weather new economic sanctions.

Trump is off the wall and capable of doing anything. Even his GOP elected officials want a brake on that buffoon
‘No one is safe’ if Trump can use DOJ to ‘prosecute’ his enemies and reward his ‘inner circle’.
Yes, Bob is posting outrageous things he knows to not be true to get a rise.
He would say them for other reasons as well.
So what is refutation of Little Bobbie's assertions? The Flynn and Roger Stone prosecutions.
Bob is a fuck that does not disappoint.
I dealt with the issues
Bob mendaciously asserted
‘No one is safe’ if Trump can use DOJ to ‘prosecute’ his enemies and reward his ‘inner circle’.
I gave a counter examples.
"So what is refutation of Little Bobbie's assertions? The Flynn and Roger Stone prosecutions."
So what did the prof do? Talk about DNA and the orange baboon.
Bob made a risible comment that was untrue on the face of it and you wagged not one finger at him. That makes you as dishonest as Bob. Birds of a feather, flock together.
But Squirrel you set such a wonderful example, it's impossible not to follow it!
Loser.
Corona virus is going to go through both coasts like a superheated steam enema.
