Maybe Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei can finally kill all the bed bugs and cockroaches at Mar-a-lago.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I sincerely hope Trump is simply sword-rattling, as North Korea and Iran often do. To purposefully target cultural sites is, IMO, despicable. Doing so would leave a stain on our nation that would stand for decades at minimum.

Doing so would leave a stain on our nation that would stand for decades at minimum. This is a New York City reality TV star. What the hell does he care about cultural sites in some non-American location it doesn't have his name on it and isn't drawing attention to him. He can't see past the next twitter post so why would he stop to consider the lose of thousands of years of history if it means getting his way? And if he does Republicans will find some way to justify it and explain why it's not REALLY a war crime.

Bombing cultural sites is a war crime. Taking down statues of Civil War veterans isn't.

I still believe the voting booths were rigged. But it doesn't matter how it happened, you are not trusted to not do it again and your world standing has forever changed. The fact that you can't stop him is a big part of the problem.

We cut off diplomatic relations with Iran 5 years ago. We have total faith in Iran to continue to be Iran. We know what we are dealing with. There is no pretense of being an ally. The U.S. is headed in the same direction. Before mouthing off that you are the most powerful country on the planet blah blah blah you should educate yourself about the real state of world affairs, and I don't suggest you use Faux News to do it. The rest of us are balancing relationships with you, China and Russia. You need to stay more attractive as an ally than either of them. Donald Trump is currently a bigger headache for Europe than Iran

Looks like your typical Repo-Con still[ spells Mossedagh HUH? We assassinate their leader, install a fascist that kills and tortured while feasting on our tax dollars. Our hostages are all returned safely, Israel is involved in arms shipments to Iran, Reagan and Bush commit treason, Ollie skims profits and arms Nicaraguan terrorists who then run cocaine under CIA protection starting the crack epidemic with Freeway Ricky Ross. But those hostages....

I think that world leaders have a better handle on things than this. I'm giving the layman's version. They just use bigger words. It's not like you were considered saints before this. And Russia and China are doing everything in their power to help this situation along.

Kinda ironic, that it is terrible that Trump mentioned cultural sites might, ,,,, might be targeted,, Oh the outrage, Are the same ones that have no problem with tearing down historical statures of Civil war veterans!!, another way to look at it , removing monuments of traitors to their country, rebelling physically against their country...taking arms up against the government of the times and one of the tenants of that revolt was their objection to the fact that just POSSIBLE... {it wasn't till much later in the time of the rebellion} that the end of keeping humans in bondage to be able to be sold and treated as animals..This is such a bad thing? IMHO , Better to keep these monuments on display that for so many Americans find distasteful...especially on public lands...better to be displayed on private property for those who feel the need to be around them...there I have no objection ….

Yes, we can change history,, if we burn enough books, try to erase actual history. It must have been an easy win for the North since we can not find where the South had any leaders or soldiers.
