It's important to parse which Iranians are commenting. Many of the Iranians in America came here around the time when the Ayatollah took control over the country so they view that whole regime as evil. The Iranians there may not feel the same way. They aren't a monolith.

They do feel the same way tho.

Also more articles I can dig up if you think this was only time there have been revolts. We're talking about a dictatorship here.

It's less about who they killed and more about the process behind it. We killed the leader of a country on the soil of a different country without consulting Congress, who needs to be informed of every military action before it happens

Again you only need to have congress to DECLARE WAR. This was not a declaration of war. We do not want war. Soleimini has been designated as a terrorist. This was done under the Obama admin. He was killed becuz of previous American blood that was already on his hands and there were plots to do more. I mean seriously how many people should be involved in every military action. It would take forever to make a decision whereas lives/oppurtunities could be lost waiting for approval nevertheless the enemy learning from our actions from a leak. This would be like telling the Titans what play we're running next. The bottomline is there is one Commander in Chief who goes on the advice and the intel he is given.

Praying that our military personnel and civilians in Iraq were saved from the missile attacks from Iran. May God bless them and keep them safe.

It looks like they went offtarget with their missiles which is a high probability they did this on purpose. I'm so glad no lives were lost.

I was very happy when the news confirmed that no lives were lost. I felt so helpless watching the video of those rockets being launched.

Donald Trump and The First Lady apart of the pregame ceremony before the College Football Championship Game. I heard plenty of cheers and USA chants when he came out but I can't wait for the media to spin it as if he got booed lol.

The best part about it, there was a picture of Drew Brees sitting next to the President and The First Lady during the game, and it was circulating on Twitter. There were people hoping that it was a PHOTOSHOP picture and people were all mad because Brees would sit next to Trump and take a picture with him, it was hilarious. Worst thing was, some of them were Saints fans ready to forget everything Brees has done just because he dared to sit next to Trump LOL.

Edit: Here are some hilarious stories with Twitter responses from people mad about Brees taking a picture with Trump.

For those who don't know.... Nick Bosa is a Trump Supporter. The media tried to make it a controversy about him liking Trump and playing in a liberal state like California before the draft.

Anyone have thoughts on this whole impeachment process? I find it funny how Adam Schiff basically admits the Democrats have no chance of winning. I like how he and the democrats want to take our voting rights away because they are afraid of losing once again.

Adam Schiff in 2020: “The president’s misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box,” Schiff said. “For we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won.”

Hillary in 2016: "We've been around 240 years. We've had free and fair elections and we've accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them and that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election," she added. "Donald Trump refused to say that he'd respect the results of this election. That's a direct threat to our democracy."

Adam Schiff in 2020: Trump withheld money in order to have private investigations, bribery....

Joe Biden: Withheld money and used a form of bribery with Ukraine if the Prosecutor who was investigating his son wasn't fired.

Sick of the democratic double standard.

I don't know if it belonged to this thread or the Dump Thread, but to @rossihunter2 and the rest of our British Ravens fans, what are your thoughts about this entire Meghan and Harry Markle situation?

British press can be appalling (and often is - especially murdoch parts of the press) and I completely back their decision to leave - especially given the manner in which Harry’s mum died - running away from an aggressive press - they have every right to be pissed off at the treatment of Meghan which is absolutely racist by a British media that loves to preserve the status quo

But on top of that, the way the queen and company have not defended the two of them is even worse and I don’t blame Harry and Meghan for wanting to get out of the royal framework - I mean who would want to be part of a family that protects Prince Andrew in stead of Meghan...

To be honest I have not had the time to research how Meghan has been reported in the British press, but I will take your word for it. I could not agree more with you about Prince Andrew. I think it is shameful how he has been protected.

I'm sorry (not sorry) but American "liberals" today are nothing but soft pussies.
I put air quotes around "liberals" because they are not real liberals. They are leftist fascists who have hijacked the name.
