      He isn’t claiming they aren’t dead. He’s claiming that it isn’t worth reporting.

      Decide for yourself which is worse.

    The irony of the guy who made his living spewing out fake news calling actual news fake.

      It’s not irony when it’s deliberate lies. It’s all part of the same strategy.

    Funny thing that, Mr. Hegseth. Killing people, regardless of who they are or where they live is largely considered a “bad move”, regardless of what dreamt-up baloney-bullshit reason you think you have for doing it.

    To be fair and I hate this man, but they were showing a short of Iran rolling out a grain silo and everyone was saying it’s a massive rocket.

    I’m not questioning the validity of the facts those people died for sure.

    I’m just saying people will believe what they want.
