This fossil fuel-loving fool is so casual about an illegal war with Iran that’s costing American taxpayers more than $1 billion a day.
What about the 18 American servicemembers dead and 758 wounded?

Chris Wright now says there may be no deal with Iran after all: "There may not be a nuclear agreement. It may be simply destroying their capabilities to do it. An agreement may await the next administration in Iran. We simply don't know that."

So much evidence, no accountability.
Three million Epstein documents.
And still ZERO FBI interviews of the powerful men tied to him.
Survivors named men. Epstein trafficked girls through elite networks for decades. Yet the DOJ record shows no questioning, no 302s, no investigation trail into those men.
