    So . . . an Iranian assassin is doing more to save democracy than the FBI?

    Seriously, this is a messed up timeline.

    Wonder if shithead even knows? In his dementia riddled mush-mind he thinks he’s campaigning against Obama and can barely say Argentina.

    Though I normally wouldn’t approve of a scapegoat taking the fall for trump’s machismo blunders, I have no problem with Pompeo paying for this one.

    I doubt the iranians want to assassinate trump era officials for the same reason that the allies didn’t want to assassinate hitler - you want your enemies’ idiots left alive.

    I don’t know much about American politics but why do you want the opposition to be assassinated? Isn’t that not good for democracy?

      This article is about an Iranian person who is believed to be targeting American politicians. The ‘why’ is speculated to be retribution for the American assassination of Solemani. I seriously doubt that Iran cares much about how good it is for American democracy.

        I apologise for not being clear but I was referring to the comment section cheering at the post.
