How often does New Zealand or Iceland get a terrorist attack? Meanwhile, we're hitting Iranian elementary schools while POTUS repeatedly lies about it, claiming Iran hit their own school with a Tomahawk they don't have. You know one of the easiest things we could do to bolster aviation security?
Stop breeding entirely new generations of terrorists by killing hundreds of their children.

You're probably trolling now, but I have to imagine you're referring to
"Grab 'em by the p---y". Is that cool and okay? Is it presidential? Is it appropriate for the leader of the free world? Is that the misogyny you want for the female aviator next to you and for your daughter at home?
