You feel less terror about our incompetence in matters of life and death if you read this with yackety sax playing in your head:

What subs isn’t going to tell you - because honesty ain’t his thang - is the following:Most (24,287) were dropped in Iraq and Syria. This number is based on the percentage of total coalition airstrikes carried out in 2016 by the United States in Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR), the counter-Islamic State campaign.

It doesn’t matter. As noted by multiple users it’s only important the nonsense was spewed. The sheer act of just saying anything is sufficient to make their base feel like they won. It’s really that simple. Note the post by EA with regard to Chris What’shisnuts. Perfect example.

I hurt my back attempting the rarely performed quintuple face palm.

can't wait for you to experience the totalitarian socialism you so desire.
They would have banned ‘the president of the United States’ already if they could have. But the pretense they use is just that.
Its purpose is purely discriminatory. It is about power. Youll learn that either the easy way or the hard way.
Its (still) a free country. Your welcome to go to china and live your fantasy.

Re: The New War with Iran
John Bolton only decides to testify right after Trump does what Bolton has been wanting all along. Declaring war against Iran. Coincidence?
Quid pro quo it seems. Trump needed a good witness and Bolton was just the man to step up to the plate. The cost was war with Iran and now Bolton will say whatever Trump wants him to say. Banana Republic here we are.

Ah yes, totalitarian socialism - when a private citizen recommends a private company enforce its terms of service consistently among its private users.

CBP has issued a statement saying these reports are false, but they also lie a lot, so that's not terribly helpful.
And now we have this:
