trump not going to see november !!!!!
u. s. a. uncivilized stupid assholes
another rich fuck thinks hes above the law fuck him and everybody that looks like him
Great Wolf to be in Israel in this horrible time. Thanks indeed Wolf.
hamas lucky its not I thats in charge... I would make the IDF look like mother teresa... i would carpet bomb gaza with strategic nuclear ordinance... create me a nice buffer zone... no more chopping off heads of my citizens...
50,000 pregnant women says the UN, out of a population of 2 million people? this Gaza is practically a factory of children to be dedicated to martyrdom. from another source it also seems that they select only male children.
I follow CNN from Europe to improve my English and to follow North American politics, which is of great importance for us Europeans. So, when I hear the prominence given to the dog that bit 11 presidential aides, or maybe even more, well, I wonder what kind of information is being spread To me it seems like trivial news compared to the enormous problems that politics faces today. Thank you.
