President Trump would likely park one of these in their back yard!

There was a time when Iran would have soiled itself at the sight of American warships on the horizon.
But now?
When Iran ‘tested’ those rockets they were snatching our pants down and laughing.
Today they put us in a headlock and gave us noogies.
Next they plan to bend our arms behind our backs and force us to yell, “Uncle!”
Obama believes America deserves this.

Don’t understand your post here. What are you trying to say?

Doesn’t look like any apology here:

i’m ashamed of my country and its citizens. at least the 52 percent who voted this jerk in twice.

the FIRST time moochelle was proud to be an american was the first time I wasn’t!!

moochers, and f....ts, the real ones and the “men” in college these days, trans whatever, they come close to 50 percent and that’s scary.

We must WIN this election. Or we won’t be a republic by 2020.

not that we really are one now.

interrogated. incredible.

I @#$@#$ing HATE when he bows to everyone in person and in gestures!!!!!! stop bowing!!!! it’s the US!!! we bow to no one!!!

Good God we have become a pussified nation under the the ayatoll ahassahola oslama. Jimmaaaaaah must be proud, he was quite the eunuch himself.

A bona fide gift for non GOPe'rs, especially Trump who now has ammunition to smack them silly.

Hopefully the deathknell for (D)ummycrats and their (R)epublicrat slaves.

Too early to tell but this is looking like the beginning of the self-destruction of the (D)ummies and hopefully the entire uniparty.

From that link you posted leads to another link of the 10 sailors sitting on the floor....
....the one girl looks like she’s wearing a burka.....she’s covered from head on down, although her face is showing.

Are you sure that’s not of the British crew from a few years back where the same thing happened? SEnd me the URL.
