William Shakespeare.
“This is not a declaration of war but a declaration of our values to the world,” ...And where have the savages declared their values to the world? Oh yeah. “You help us out and we will cut your head off.”
“grilling”??? Are you kidding me?

We don’t want war we just want to bomb the Fugg out of Assad and help the Muslim Brotherhood take over the country.
These sons of bitch’s have lost their minds.
You mean leftist, godless, immoral values? That jerkwad Menendez has zero moral upstanding to tout....
Caliphate building.
The same Bob Menendez that don't pay his whores?
From Hamlet, no less. Quite fitting considering......
PUTA! The one with the glasses.

Play-acting. Biden used to do this when he chaired Judiciary. He’d act one way when he was questioning, then vote the direct opposite when it was time to decide.
