Obama is the clown who is giving Iran nukes. He can shut his mouth.

I dunno. I don’t see the harm or foul in ETL’s posts.

I like you both BTW, except whichever one doesn’t like Trump. LOL

He can hate Trump so long as he’s not a dick about it.

Like altura, for example.

I think in the seven years he’s been in the WH he’s learned too much he shouldn’t know.

Biological and water/air poisoning are deadlier.
They have killed more people than any nuclear weapon.
