      No… AFTER Iran.

      So, like the release of his tax returns AFTER the internal audit was completed (right? That happened¿?¡), it won’t be happening soon. Or it will be happening immediately, because we “won” in Iran within the first hours. Our blockade of their blockade was just for funsies.

      I hate this timeline. Can we try any other animals in the large hadron collider tonsee what happens?

    The GOP congress is spineless. Their wills are molded entirely by Trump. GOP = Trump. Remember Mini-Me? Trump has little mini-Trumps infesting congress. Vote accordingly. A vote for the GOP = a vote for Trump.
