1. For he or she to stop the impending Middle East war.
2. To start persecuting all these fake Christians.

I’ll eagerly follow if he or she does those two simple deeds.

Hey, didn't Nostradamus predict the Antichrist would show up about now? And be heralded by Christians as their true leader while actually being completely evil, and bring about Armageddon by starting a war in the ME?
He answered, well he was right about the Antichrist part...

he said. People and cults have been making money off of the "end of the world" for at least two thousand years. It's how Christianity started.

I have less than zero respect for CNN, M$NBC or the rest of the cable noise blathering. It’s talking heads filling airtime between ads for drugs we never knew we needed.

for sheltering at home. Things they'd eat anyway over time because they probably won't be needed. But. Canned goods typically last for years, not months.

Because it's also possible that we will not be the same. We shouldn't assume Iran's reprisals won't be aimed directly at the people who elected Trump and put zionist evangelicals, who promise to destroy Iran, such as Pompeo in power. Any illusion of safety through distance is just that.

I just noticed our Christian zionist horse whisperer VP Pence is, as typical, staying very quiet as Trump's aggression moves us toward what Pence believes will eventually become Armageddon, as God wills.

It should be as part of everyday life as buying homeowners insurance. Everyone should already be able to remain at home if the power goes off. After all, that's hardly unforeseen.

I recall CNN being quite the cheerleader for "Shock and Awe". Did they scrounge up all their old footage from that last operation?

I hope they have a different accounting of the truth than they did almost 20 years ago but I won't hold my breath.

Yet another war in the middle east.

Let's not forget it was the neocons that started this downward slide.

Bolton now has a decision to make.
1. Does he testify against Trump and help push him out the door?
2. Does he shut up and get his decades-old dream of a war with Iran?

This veteran suggests if you have a family member in the military or one of an age to be in the military. It might be time to get into the streets and say hell no. Call your congress members with two messages. NO war and can Trump. No more wars in the middle east.

Right now in this time in history, the crazy man in the White House does NOT give a sh*t about the consequences of starting another war. As always it's only about him.

They aired endless hours of his hate rallies and gorged on coverage of Her Emails and HRC's fake health scares. They are a big part of the reason we have Trump. Now they will go into War Porn Mode to exploit more human suffering and destruction for ratings. Fuck them.

is that no one (in the media, in govt or elsewhere) trusts a single word Trump or anyone in his administration is saying. They've shot their own credibility with thousands of lies.
