Yes, indeed. And remember, there's a tweet for everything!

Why do we have an aircraft carrier in the gulf and why are we flying drones, where are all our allies like Saudi Arabia and Israel.

One more time. How many Wars of Choice has Trump started?


None you say?

Case closed son.

I noticed the US confirmed the drone was an RQ-4 Global Hawk, not a Triton, which isn't good for the US credibility when they previously claimed it was a Triton, if it got something as simple as the drone type wrong, how accurately is it in claims of its location?
Good point.

The only "international airspace" that exists is over international waters.

The claim that the attack was "unprovoked" is hilarious. That aircraft was spying on Iran.

Democrat Insanity
  • Iranians shoot down an American aircraft
  • Democrat side with Iranians and blame Trump for starting war.
Their complete and total derangement has to be seen to be believed.

Don't forget, this has conveniently made Hong Kong disappear from the newslines. Iran is China's ally.

Advancement in science may lead to a lower quality of life? This isn’t some sci-fi movie. Ultra-conservatives need to stop restricting everything.

I’m glad America has drone technology to prevent soldiers risking their lives. And I’m happy to fly my drone around my area to check out things, scenery, photography, etc

You support an idiot. He’s not dealing with anything, but how to get more of you to send him money and adulation.
I don't send any money, nor have I ever sent money to political personnel - other than through taxes.

He's actually pretty smart... full of himself, definitely not perfect, but smart. You can't do what he's done without having a lot on the ball.

Computers have given companies the ability to engineer everything to only be "good enough" these days, including the materials that go into houses. That makes more headaches for people like you who can't take a hit like a big multibillion dollar corporation like DR Horton can if something you bought from a major corporation failed catastrophically that was put into a customer's house.
