Talking about the push to livestream an execution, a guy on MSNOW said: "This is not who we are." But this is *exactly* who we are right now. If you don't want to be this, vote against all Republicans and ask your family and friends to do the same.

So we are warring with Iran And Russia is supplying weaponry to Iran. And we are paying Russia to send us diesel fuel. Because we are warring with Iran the ships with the diesel can't get to us. So we are buying it from Russia, which... Yeah, this is some three-dimensional chess right here.
