A Longtime Criminal Defense Attorney Breaks Down the Viral Video of the Renee Good Killing

A Gallup poll conducted in March 2003 found 72 percent support for George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq.
The 33 percent support for the Venezuela war, as measured in a Reuters survey, may be the high-water mark for the conflict.

Congrats to Donald Trump on Starting the Least Popular War in Recent Memory
Americans usually love a new war, but polls show Trump’s attack on Venezuela is deeply unpopular.

(2 of 2) He's right to think the Danes won't contest the island militarily. But what will happen is that NATO will immediately disband, and American troops will be ordered out of most or all European countries.
The post-World War II order will collapse.
It will be catastrophic.

Putin puppet Trump must think that if he turns Rodriguez into his own puppet that he will finally be a real boy. No, he will still be a puppet. Trump's acts of war are extending Russia's criminal sphere of influence.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

The doctors chosen by a criminal fraud who knowingly surrounded himself with criminals willing to lie, commit crimes, and fall on a grenade for him said he's in good mental health, so that should totally be "okay" for everyone to believe. Right.
