    Time to wake yourselves up...

    "The effects of the American drone strike that killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani is now spilling into US Presidential politics. While the US administration has justified the killing citing threat to American interests, the Democrats have questioned President Donald Trump’s move.

    Amid this, Republican Congressman from Arizona, Paul Gosar, tweeted a photo showing former US President Barack Obama shaking hands with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, saying, The world is a better place without these guys in power."

    They not only questioned his move but the process by which it was initiated and executed, of which by law they have every right to do as such...The photo was another fake news moment for the Republican Congressman.

    We went from a path towards peace and normal relations to a path of war and destruction and the right wing world cheers it on. This war is entirely of Trump’s doing.

    He probably lost this picture of Obama entertaining a terrorist:

    Yep. The very same al-Amiri

    Here's Amiri at the Embassy siege:

    My guess is that the Congressman took a page from the Democrat playbook that says,"If we think it's true, it's fair to fabricate it".

    The OP shows a photo of Rouhani and Obama shaking hands. The event never happened. The picture was photo shopped.

    Yes. That was the point of the OP.
    A US Congressman posted a photo-shopped picture of world leaders on social media.
    Not a Russian troll, or some adolescent...but a US Congressman.
    That doesn't concern you?
