@AJEnglish: "It was a very performative event." Associate Professor Marc Owen Jones, explains that Iran's attack on Israel aimed to reinforce its domestic legitimacy and demonstrate that "they are not weak." https://t.co/oViPTZmonn
the Mets are COMPLETE ass. Do not give up a game winning home run to one of their garbage generic no name scrubs and then come to me claiming legitimacy. Jackasses.
