PIC: Scott Walker, future commander in chief of our Armed Forces



I hope someone has time to do a better one and post it here.

Then we can send the best one to Scotty to use for his campaign posters.

HOUSE Judiciary Committee page looks like a BUZZFEED article:

This is just bizarre.

If you've ever read through one of those vapid Buzzfeed articles with vaguely related gifs, you have the reading comprehension ability to get through this.

Netanyahu comic book, action movie logic echoes Bush admin lies

This is the line that really got me in Netanyahu's speech to Congress:

“Right now, Iran could be hiding nuclear facilities that we don’t know about”


Doesn't that sound suspiciously like the Bush administration's thin case for invading Iraq because of phantom WMD's that MIGHT be there and if they exist MIGHT someday be used against us?

Also, even if Iran were to get nukes, why would they use one against the US or Israel when they know that would mean instant retaliation from one of Israel's hundreds of nukes or our thousands?

They would take out maybe a city on our side, but would not even have time to gloat before everyone in their country was radioactive dust.

Individuals might become suicide bombers, but nations do not.

After the farce and crime against humanity that was the Iraq War, no leader should be able to make this kind of case without being met with boos, eggs, and rotten fruit, and their mental competence or more likely, honesty, should be publicly questioned.
