On the eve of President Trump's decision on the certification of the Iran nuclear deal, CIA Director Michael Pompeo lashed out Thursday at the Islamic Republic in a speech at the University of Texas, calling it "a thuggish police state" and a "despotic theocracy," and comparing its ambitions to those of ISIS.

The goal of Iran and ISIS are identical because they are both commanded by their prophet to make the rest of the world submit or die.

Submit or Die

Prime directive of Islam

Did you notice how the president slyly said something about the people of Iran's people being made to submit? I believe the word Islam literally means Submit!

I thought that was clever but I'm a Trump koolaid drinker so what do I know.

Let’s be clear: The name of the country is “The Islamic Republic of Iran”. So how different can it be from be ISIS?

Here is my bottom line:

Are any of the President's critics going to contend that Iran is actually keeping its part of the bargain? Because if you don't believe that, then the President would have been a liar to certify Iranian compliance.

The vast majority of terrorist attacks on the west seem to be committed by Sunnis.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Iran is not at all like ISIS, ‘cause they’re Shiites and not Arabs, and ISIS is Sunni and mostly Arab. And you can even see the difference in their policies. Why, ISIS rapes and beheads little Yazidi chidren in front of their parents, and leaves their bodies in the street for dogs to eat. Iran only stabs a child if he’s a dissident, and doesn’t single out religious minorities like that. They’ll kill anyone who’s a dissident, regardless of age, linguistic, tribal or religious affilitiation. All you have to do is protest a fake election, and you’re a shish kebab.

Iran manufactured and sent IEDs and other weapons to the Taliban for use against U.S. soldiers. Iranian troops in Iraq and Syria have attacked and killed U.S. soldiers. Iran has stated its desire to destroy Israel many times while preparing to build nuclear weapons for the purpose of trying to destroy the U.S.A and Isreal. Iran has used its Hezbollah guerrillas to attack Israel, had trained Hamas guerrillas and sent funding to Hamas.

You mean Trump committed a micro-aggression of cultural appropriation by using Thuggish for Iranians rather than it’s traditional usage to describe misguided black youth?
