Trump signals there won’t be any further escalation by him after Iran’s response. “I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured.”
Trump: Iran has officially responded to our Obliteration of their Nuclear Facilities with a very weak response, which we expected, and have very effectively countered. There have been 14
missiles fired — 13 were knocked down, and 1 was "set free," because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction. I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done. Most importantly, they've gotten it all out of their "system," and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE. I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured. Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will
enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA

Exactly. If the rhetoric of random leftists is shifting public opinion, then the real question is why the objectively more radical and dangerous rhetoric of random right-wingers isn’t.

A lanky sort of tyrannosaurid with fuzz all over, including a blond patch on the head.  It has shorter arms, long lanky legs, and a goofy looking long rounded snout.  If I'm honest, it looks a little embarrassed, like a teenager on the first day of school.
