Imagine what could be achieved with Russia on cold war and nuclear disarmament and on collaboration in Syria and Ukraine if Russophobic shitlibs accepted the fact that they lost the election.

The real first lady died today
Neil Gorsuch, a libertarian leaning Supreme Court Justice, in his decision to side with liberals in favor of civil liberties of immigrants over the federal government.
There are plenty more “unconstitutionally vague” laws where this one came from that are in need of striking down.
“The U.S. Supreme Court declared a clause in federal law, requiring the deportation of immigrants convicted of a “crime of violence,” unconstitutionally vague Tuesday.”

Iraqi deaths are back down to whatever passes as “normal” in Iraq.
The spike in violence in 2017 was attributable to the elimination of ISIS which had been allowed (and financed via Syrian rebels) to spread throughout Iraq (due to the U.S. unwillingness to aid Iraq while it was in a coalition with Iran and Russia) between 2013-2016, taking major cities like Mosul in the process and itself causing many deaths.
The significance is that the last “normal” period took place with U.S. troops on the ground maintaining the peace and prior to the creation of ISIS. The current “normal” is sustained by Iraqi forces with some U.S. air power (with the U.S. finally overlooking that they are partnered with Iran and Russia) as the U.S. still considers themselves their “partner”.
Iraq has been receiving T-90S main battle tanks from Russia.
U.S. Department of Defense claims they targeted three chemical weapons facilities with 105 missiles.
One of the three targets, Barzah, had 76 missiles (66% of all missiles) used against it, according to DOD.
OPCW cleared Barzah between November of 2017 and February of 2018 as not being in violation of the chemical weapons convention.
Workers at Barzah claim they were working on antidotes to scorpion and snake venom.
