Nicole Wallace had conservative retired Judge Luttig on yesterday. He didn't hold back and he validated that we don't know how this assault on democracy will end up, that we may not be able to save it. He is the last thing from a nutjob and bring sobriety to the existential threat we face.

18 dead my sweet ass....they bought media up expressly so they don't show you the extent of the losses...or the crowds of protesters or anything else that contradicts their narrative. Read up on the THAAD sites (2-3 billion each and not easily replaced) that Iran smoked in the first few days
