This is the kind of stuff this moron should not be tweeting. Crikes, he really needs a filter.

Iran is rapidly taking over more and more of Iraq even after the U.S. has squandered three trillion dollars there. Obvious long ago!

I had to turn it off, particularly the sound, the music was brutal. I did see a guy get sucker punched and KO'd though. That more than enough for me.
Anyway, it can be both a protest of what the guy stands for and a repudiation of free speech. These idiots, through violence and throwing rocks at cops and lighting fires, got a political speaking event cancelled. It doesn't matter what the content is, that's anti-free speech by definition. It's also just stupid and counterproductive. There is no exemption from free speech for hate speech in the USA. In Canada, different story, though.
But more importantly, this is exactly what a guy like this feeds off of. If not for stuff like this he'd be totally irrelevant. Now he's going to end up doing news shows all week. Why people feel the need to put money in his pocket I do not understand.

Given the makeup of Trump's cabinet and inner circle, war with Iran seems almost a given. Only question would be how will they fake evidence to try and get the American people behind it. Problem for them is Iraq is still waaaay too fresh in most people's minds.

^Iran is doing their part to help with the missile launch. Failed or not, they have been given notice.

I thought Trump's military tactic was all about surprise and not giving them prior notice?

It is. While everyone is focused on Iran the American public will never see it coming.

Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!

The 4 years thing really bothers me. Every time I read it. It's gotta be less. Way less. Please be way less?

The stupid thing about that tweet is that they aren't illegal immigrants, they're refugees.
He either doesn't know or doesn't care. Probably the latter, but who knows.

His buddy Putin is making moves in the Ukraine right now.
Wonder if he will comment on that.

U.S. military officials told Reuters that Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations.
As a result, three officials said, the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced al Qaeda base defended by landmines, snipers, and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists.
The Pentagon directed queries about the officials' characterization of the raid to U.S. Central Command. The latter pointed only to its statement on Wednesday.
The U.S. officials said the extremists’ base had been identified as a target before the Obama administration left office on Jan. 20, but then-President Barack Obama held off approving a raid ahead of his departure.
A White House official said the operation was thoroughly vetted by the previous administration and that the previous defense secretary had signed off on it in January. The raid was delayed for operational reasons, the White House official said.
The military officials who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity said "a brutal firefight" took the lives of Owens and at least 15 Yemeni women and children. One of the dead was the 8-year-old daughter of Anwar al-Awlaki, a militant killed by a 2011 U.S. drone strike.
Some of the women were firing at the U.S. force, Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis told reporters.
INTELLIGENCE GATHERED
The American elite forces did not seize any militants or take any prisoners offsite, but White House spokesman Sean Spicer said on Wednesday the raid yielded benefits.
"Knowing that we killed an estimated 14 AQAP members and that we gathered an unbelievable amount of intelligence that will prevent the potential deaths or attacks on American soil – is something that I think most service members understand, that that’s why they joined the service,” Spicer said.
A senior leader in Yemen's al Qaeda branch, Abdulraoof al-Dhahab, and other militants, were killed in the gunbattle, al Qaeda said.
One of the three U.S. officials said on-the-ground surveillance of the compound was “minimal, at best.”
“The decision was made ... to leave it to the incoming administration, partly in the hope that more and better intelligence could be collected,” that official said.

How awful must it feel to be a service member and have this information trickle down to you.
