She's having a bad week.

Good. She deserves the worst of the worst.

And even her worst day will not be as horrible as what Good and Pretti's families will endure the rest of their lives.

Bombing Iran was just a part of his evening.

Let me guess, wealthy people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes now want the countries they moved from to protect them?
