  • Board Of Peace

    On a lighter note, the Iranians appear to have a flare for irony…..noting that many of the countries that joined Trump’s Board of Peace have been bombed since their admittance. A point of fact missed by the press.

    Couldn’t put that in a novel

  • He was a republican?

    Steele sold his soul for the MSNBC paycheck. A man with zero principles.

  • Chairman Steele

    “Some” white people are x,y,z, but not all. I hate “white people this and white people that.” Don’t lump me in with the subgroup of whites who are prejudice and discriminate.
