The Peace talks between the U.S. and Iran failed now there is a shock. [View all]

J.D. Vance was just on the airport tarmac in I think Budapest right before he left
for Pakistan to meet with the Iranians and he called them STUPID. Nice job J.D.!
Diplomacy is done by adults, it is done privately, and it is not done by calling the
other party stupid on television and now the firing our military leadership is just
one more fuck up too.

Btw having a war to try to distract from Trump’s raping of girls and his part in a
Child Sex Trafficking Ring was and is a never a good idea.
