I'm not sure about this whole thing with the US SJRES Bill 118. Seems like it could cause some issues, but I'm not really sure how it would impact me personally. Just hoping for the best outcome in the end. #uncertain #confused #politics

This bill is a joke! Why are we pulling out of Iran? We need to show them who's boss! What will happen to our safety if we leave? #confused #notgood
