Oh Nori, I'm so sorry you were disturbed by the inaccuracy of various shades of my cookies. Can't you find more important things to complain about? The truth is my son likes his cookies a bit overcooked and I like them undercooked. Nothing more sinister than that. As far as your suggestion that I should have baked elephant cookies - one, I don't have an elephant cookie cutter. maybe you do? And second it would have been unwelcome at a fundraiser for a Democratic candidate as would donkeys be at a Repub fundraiser.
Regarding the ridiculous Republican talking point that Nori and DT are happy to parrot, the money returned to Iraq was a years long withholding of funds paid to the US by Iran for weapons which we never delivered after the revolution began. Nobody in the US was paying off Iran. Geez you guys are uninformed.
So let me get this straight. DT assassinates a beloved military leader of a sovereign country and this is his attempt at "laying groundwork for some negotiations"? Odd attempt at diplomacy in my world. According to members of Congress who were briefed, there appears to have been no imminent threat from Soleimani regarding strikes on the US. He's been plotting against the US for decades. We've had multiple opportunities to take him out and multiple presidents have declined to do so because they realized his demise would cause extreme uprisings and that he and his plans would be replaced within hours. That's exactly what happened. So I guess you feel better because a bad guy got taken out? Good. Should his replacement be taken out now and then his replacement and his replacement and his replacement? How is this any kind of way to conduct foreign relations? Okay I understand. You feel better. That's all that really matters isn't it? DT knows that and he made you and the rest of his base feel better. It also appears to assuage his fear of feeling weak (his greatest fear). What about Bashar al-Assad or Erdoğan or Kim Jong-un? They've all got blood on their hands. Would taking them out make us safer or just feel better?
BTW Joanie is totally right. DT's plan is to piss on anything Obama ever did. One of the best things Obama did was the Iran nuclear agreement. DT says the attacks increased after the agreement was signed - a lie. Actually they diminished until DT dumped the Iran agreement. They had been in compliance and were verifiably not enriching uranium. Who can believe anything DT says? Iran is now on a course to increase nuclear proliferation, something they had stopped after Obama's accord. Damn, this stuff is so easily verifiable unless you listen only to DT. So explain to me please how we and our troops are safer now than before DT got pissed off watching Trump TV and decided to bomb somebody and tear up Obamas Iran agreement?

Contentious Caps/Flyers game tonight, Glen! 5 minutes at 3-2, Flyers. Tension in the air as I watch with my rabid Flyers fan. I'll pay if the Caps win! :)
