@rhodesben.bsky.social Last night you told Jen Psaki that we had the same intelligence as Israel about Iran. How can that be when Ice Barbie has decimated her agencies so they probably can't produce a comic book version of the PDB, and Marco Pooh-Bah can only tell DUFUS what he wants to hear?

Since Donny 2 Dolls has brought us to a Hoover-like depression "the likes of which we've never seen," it seems appropriate to update "a chicken in every pot" with "30 dolls under every tree."
