Iran is aware Trump has literally come within inches of declaring war on them.
He DID assassinate one of their leaders.
So, yes, I think they know Trump would use them as a Wag the Dog if he could get away with it.

They probably thought the fake emails would be enough to spur Democratic voters out in bigger numbers and put more and more people against The Proud Boys. That of course is ignoring the idiots who want to start a war with the US because they can. We're not the only country with warhawks after all.

From my understanding, the discoloring on Mc Connell's skin might be from a blood thinner.
Also two plasters. That's some pretty extreme discolouration.
Another photo got his face
, which would seem to rule out any local effects and imply general blood thinners or something else.
Comments seem to suggest falling. And possibly low oxygen saturation.

"We're all paper, we're all scissors, we're all fightin' with our mirrors, scared we'll never find somebody to love."They probably were using digital blackface though.
"The network of fake accounts claiming to represent Black Trump supporters, Linvill’s research shows, became increasingly active in the past two months, in the aftermath of a Republican nominating convention that prominently featured African Americans seeking to soften the president’s image and challenge persistent claims that he is racist. Attracting more voters from the traditionally Democratic constituency of Black voters has been a key element of Trump’s reelection campaign, especially as his support has dipped among other demographics."
So any predictions on how tonight's debate will go?
My guess: trump violates the rules and waddles out right in the middle of it in a childish tantrum, only to complain about how "unfair" it was on twitter afterwards.
That man most definitely won't respect any agreements, never has and most likely, never will.

Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
