Pompeo says US stands with Iranian protesters
Times Israel ^ | 11/17/2019 | Toi Staff

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Saturday signaled his support for protesters in Iran, who have put renewed pressure on their government as it struggles to overcome the sanctions strangling the country after US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew America from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers.

“As I said to the people of Iran almost a year and a half ago: The United States is with you,” Pompeo said, retweeting a Persian-language tweet he sent out in July 2018 that referenced a speech he made that directly addressed the Iranian people.

Let us fervently hope that Trump and Pompeo will not ignore their cries like Obama did.

Good. I don’t think we should directly intervene, but we should keep the troublemakers out if possible.

Does he have a "D" next to his name? Sorry, not immune.

Let's hope he never wore blackface or went to a party near mentally ill women with fantasy delusions about famous men they "remember" much later.

Sorry. My give a crap meter is on empty. For almost fifty years these idiots have been tearing their country apart, primarily because they insist on an Islamist state. Yes I know at one time Iran was a different, more progressive place. But I'm 63 years old and I lived through decades of witnessing this insanity. Leave the Iranians to themselves. It's their country, their problem.

This is the best feed coming out of Iran:

https://twitter.com/potkazar/status/1195707519966027777

The protesters are chanting:

Iran protesters chant:

“there is no money no benzin, forget about Felestin”

Meaning: no money, no gasoline, forget about Palestine.

Iranians are tired of their oil money spent on Hizb’allah while they starve. Gasoline prices have tripled.

If we mean to help the protesters, open up satellite internet access to Iran.

Yeah just there’s just some fires you shouldn’t stoke. If Iran implodes they’ll be millions of Iranians stampeding out of the place and looking to come here. I’ve said here many time , of we have to end illegal immigration but we need, desperately need a halt on legal immigration ‘’Secret’’. For Gods sake it’s out of control. According to NumbersUSA we take in a million people a year. A MILLION!

I work as a maintenance guy in a local hospital in southern NJ. I’m usually assigned to the ER. I tell you, month after month it’s seems there more non-English speaking jabbering immigrant mutts, mostly Latinos coming through this ER virtually non stop. None can speak English. Few of them anyway and if they can’t we have to get what’s called a ‘’language phone’’. It’s two phones on a large base that translates just about any language. That’s costs the taxpayers. Of they have no insurance so there’s more money. This is the third hospital ER I’ve worked in the last 25 years and I can tell you even ten years ago it wasn’’t like this.
