I agree but it is still an attack on America.

“I wonder what the putz is doing over there?”

Maybe this was staged so that Bite Me can claim more combat experience than Hillary. (Remember the primaries, and the supposed “helicopter” incident?)

Was it our troops firing?

I think they would have hit him if they were.

Good morning Ms Allegra!

Well belatedly recovering from a rather beery July 4th eve, I see that Iraqi factions have sent a message to Joe, pulling his plugs ! I thought they would.

Too bad we can’t set off a few blocks of C4 everytime Biddy Biden runs to Pennsylvannia and issues mumbled statements about closing coal mines./s

The rockets are an interesting political statement about Joe the traducer.I hope no one was hurt.

Stay low and safe.

Our troops would give their lives to keep Joe Biden safe. The jokes are not funny. They are ugly, contemptible and unAmerican.

You guys are wrong, if the VP dies the President appoints another one. The only way Pelosi would move up would be if the President and VP died together, as in a plane crash or something similar. President dies, VP moves into President slot and appoints a VP.

“The Terrs never messed with Dick Cheney, for a number of reasons I’d suspect..”

Unfortunately it seems that no one who is a representative of the US, no matter who they might be, is really immune from this sort of thing.

Would that be good or bad from his point of view (having Pelosi as VP)?

She’s an evil witch who does Bambi’s bidding and spares him the trouble of actually having to pretend to do anything, so she might be a plus. But then who would control Congress?

What I really think this shows is the contempt that the Muzzie radicals have for the US. They know that with their friend in the WH, they’re cool and they can do whatever they want.

Guess someone's not a fan of Biden's association with the Iranian regime. Or possibly, one of Iran's proxies was give the order to remind Plugs just who he really works for. Thanks SonOfDarkSkies.

Pelosi is evil, but the really evil person behind her is Bambi (well, and his henchpersons).

I lived in SF for a number of years during the time when she got her start, and she’s dumb as a box of rocks but very aggressive and was always the darling of the radical Dems. Her husband is extremely well off and she has always been free to do her thing. However, she has no original ideas, and she has been the vicious sock puppet for Bambi/Emmanuel/[fill in the corrupt leftist of your choice] since day one.
