Iran Embassy basically asks Trump that if they kiss is ass, will he put his phone down for a half hour and do his job

It is a profound irony when the nation under attack feels more empathy for the attacker's citizens than the attacking government itself.

The "money shot" here, for me, is that Iran is all you say they are and more, and the fact that they are "calling Trump out" on his behavior SHOULD HELP A FEW PEOPLE WAKE UP and SEE what we're dealing with.

Doesn't mean that will happen. Just means it should.

too. No one is making heroes out of the Iranian government.
There are many heroes among the civilian population.
Watch the Rick Steves
episode on his visit to Iran.
The people are well-educated, curious, and love the American people.

It is called:
"Islamic Republic of Iran Health Insurance Organization (IHIO), which aims to provide universal coverage to its population."

We are some of the dumbest opinionated people on the planet.
Children are more educated than the average American. They choose to learn. We don't.

I avoid that by coming to DU. It doesn't make my head hurt.

The Iranians I have met were all professionals in either medical or tech.
My past big boss was Iranian, as well as my Dentist.

The average American couldn't tell you about the Shah, 1950s Iranian history and how we fucked that up!

Yet they will sing along with Lindsey and his Bubble Wand Baton to Bomb Iran!

I do find mental comfort being among others at DU who are more educated on the world.

Race is a social construct not a scientific one. I'm a white person too.

Having said that, it is interesting that 5 of them are "white". I'm pretty sure the orange one and the Russian would both agree that the Iranian is too dark, but let's be honest, the Iranian looks most like a person from the Caucasus Mountains.

I watch all those Lego music videos Iran produces and quite enjoy them. Yet I know they are propaganda and I feel bad that I'm on Iran's side. Especially after serving 20+ years in the Navy. I use to admire and support our country's actions.

But I can't stomach a pedo, demented psychopath. If he had been born poor, he would have been the guy kidnapping 8 year olds and leaving the girls' bodies in a ditch. That's the kind of guy pedo Trump is. Only money in a capitalist economy could have made him president.

But I think it's more than one group making them now.

Also they are still available on other platforms.

I've watched quite a few of them. They are somewhat factual.

Rapist has no intention of doing his actual job. He's only concerned with staying out of jail, keeping the Epstein files hidden, and further enriching himself and his cronies.
