Trump is provoking a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. What could go wrong?

If Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan or rogue terrorists nuke an American city it would almost be worth it just so I could say “I’ve been trying to tell people those weapons are dangerous...”

Can someone just shoot this **** in the head already? What are the Secret Service good for if not as a wink wink nudge nudge check against presidential power?

Alabama woman says judge ordered her to allow her alleged rapist to visit their sons: report

Quote:

The woman, named Jessica, says she felt she “didn't have any options” when her uncle started to climb into her bed at night when she was around 12 or 13 years old. He allegedly impregnated her four times during her teenage years but was never convicted despite DNA evidence, she says. Now, she claims a judge told her she would spend 48 hours in a county jail every time she denied her alleged rapist visitation time with her sons.
Goddamn. Alabama is full steam ahead on living up to the most disturbing stereotypes about the Deep South.

Special Report from ONN


https://i.postimg.cc/05BsxT99/002180...7-A8-B67-A.jpg

During the past couple weeks horrifying events have struck the people of Khartoum, Sudan. While Sudan as a whole is well known as Africa’s ****tiest ****hole the urbanites of Khartoum have historically been immune to the long string of tragedies that have been choking out their rural countrymen for decades.

The people of Khartoum objected to the latest military takeover and took to the streets in a manner reminescent of America’s recent Occupy Movement, only much greater in numbers. The Janjaweed response has been quick and brutal. Several dozen protestors were met with machine gun fire and soon their bloodied corpses were being tossed into the famous Nile River.

Unconvinced that open acts of mass murder fully illustrated their dominance the Janjaweed turned to the time honored tradition of gang raping the remaining women and girls they saw fit for such treatment.

If UN troops were about they once again decided to sit this one out. The citizens of Khartoum are making some effort to regroup and are being encouraged to use non-violence as their means for social change and justice in the tradition of the Mahatma Gandhi.

How could this get any worse?

The bloodshed in Sudan has prompted concern from some world powers, but the military council has been bolstered by support from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which between them have offered $3bn in aid.
Oh for the love of ****.

You should put a "Breaking News" chyron at the bottom and make it move in a continuous loop from right to left like the networks do.

There’s also this super ****ed up **** going on in Mali reminescent of Algeria in late 1980’s where entire villages are murdered in a single night.
