I've been out of the loop and I have questions about what happened last night...

I know what happened. But I don't know the reason why the Trump regime is claiming to do this.

I saw a few right-wingers on Facebook talk about how they were happy and this was supposed to be a retaliation, but a retaliation for what?

We naturally defer to assume that people can’t always be full of shit...but then the Trump gang proves everyone wrong.

Can’t remember if it was a service member or contractor THEN we did the air strikes THEN they broke into the embassy THEN we killed the Quds guy.

We have a liar for a president. We won't be able to know what happens in the future, either.

In the week leading up to this(Limbaugh, Graham, Putin, others..), it looks little more than a crazy attempt to stop impeachment
