"In my opinion, based on what I've seen, that was done by Iran…We think it was done by Iran, because they're very inaccurate with their munitions, they have no accuracy whatsoever, it was done by Iran,"
It's so much more insulting when he can't even be bothered to come up with a believable lie.
All these "opt-out" laws undermine the entire foundation of how unions function. If you don't want to be in the union, or pay the dues associated with that union...go find a non-union job. Working within a union and expecting to benefit from the collective bargaining agreement that union fought for, without contributing to the functioning cost of that union, just makes you a scab.
I think what the article is implying, is that it was targeted by mistake. That elementary school used to be a part of the military base right next door. Whoever hit it, may have been using old intelligence to determine targets. So far though, neither the US nor Israel is admitting to anything.
There have also been reports out earlier today, that Israel may be using unassisted AI to select targets. If this is true, then it makes sense that they got their intelligence wrong. AI isn't known for getting things right.
That's what I meant when I said she was so corrupt, even Trump had to get rid of her. It's not really about the fact that she was doing it, but more how obvious she was being about it. Not only was she already being called out for hundreds of millions in "expenses" since she took the job, but this latest scam was too much for even Republican lawmakers to ignore.
For all his own obviously corrupt behavior, Trump still tries to "appear" like he's not. And not firing her, would make that just that much more difficult for him. It's easier to just throw her under the bus, than it is to try and explain why he's once again looking the other way, when someone near him is caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
I'm actually surprised he kept her this long, given all the negative press she's brought in, over the last few months. I guess this was the straw that finally broke the camel's back.
It was also what she was trying to do. She was trying to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to some unnamed political operative, that she personally chose for the job...and he started the company that was going to be running the ad campaign, like a week before getting the contract.
The whole thing was so shady that even Republicans were calling her out on how obviously shady it was. That's why they were asking her if Donald Trump knew about it...and more specifically, did he actually sign off on it. She lied of course, and said that he knew, when apparently he didn't...and that's how she got fired.
The entire project was just one giant embezzlement scam. It might have produced some ads, highlighting mostly herself...but it seems like the entire thing was set up so that she could just funnel hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds, to a friend of hers.
Running cover for his buddy Putin, as usual.
