"Planes are different today. You used to have a little steering wheel or whatever. Today, they fly differently." Admit it, Republicans. When you see a quote that fucking stupid, you know who said it.

The U.S. invaded #Iraq over weapons of mass destruction that were never found. 23 years later: thousands of U.S. troops dead, 200,000+ Iraqi civilians killed, civil war, ISIS, and lasting devastation. “Mission accomplished”? For whom besides the war industry? www.npr.org/2026/09/30/n...
