You don't have to have blind allegiance to Trump to see that sanctions against Russia aren't necessarily all they're made out to be.

Well, Obama sure thought that those sanctions were working so well against Iran. *Searches hard for "RollEye" emoji.*

Probably so they'll say we broke the deal, and they can go back to working on a nuclear weapon program. Maybe even kick inspectors out?

Is there an emoji for incompetence?

More of the same at NYU tonight. Keep it up regressive left & campus loons.

Based upon the garb and the statements from the University, my understanding is that the rioters in California were anarchists, not university students. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they were plants to make the protesters look bad. Or it may have been a radical left wing group. Who knows. I think some of the main goals lately have been to incite fear and stifle opposition, though. Regardless I agree that rioting is wrong. The vast majority of protesters are peaceful, though.
