at a loss so I can deduct the losses in my 2019 tax filing.
Too bad nobody clued me in about Trump's ordering killing of general Qasem Suleiman in 1st week of Jan.

to the end of the universe

I can just image him strutting around his gaudy palace with that shit eating grin on his ugly face hobnobbing with all those criminals and crooked politicians bragging about what a big tough guy he is. UUGGHH! Of course he spills the beans without any thought or consequences or thought of informing Congressional leaders. I can’t wait until this hideous nightmare is over!!

Yet said that Congress was not told for fear of leaks as he leaked like a rusty faucet.

Members of Congress with real experience and depth in foreign affairs and national security would have likely done whatever necessary to stop it. Therefore he had to preemptively obstruct Congress by not telling them.

before he went on vacation and that we learned about from the Russian govt was actually his orders to do this attack. Maybe he told his pals in FL the details of the phone call too...we certainly will never get the truth.

... then a call from Putin either 24 or 48 hours before he bombed the pro Iranian faction in Iraq and
that precipitated "the riots" by the US Embassy in Baghdad which Trump and Pompeo used as an
excuse to murder the 2 Iranians (no good dirt balls but this is not our job to clean up the middle east).

I might be wrong but I think Putin ordered the hit.

Putin must be behind this, too much Russian input and the timing is right.

The only speculation I have heard is that it was done as an impeachment distraction but nothing about Putin's role in this.

... at least a pretty big stretch. Trump talked w/Putin 1 day before bombing the Shi (?) pro Iran
faction in Iraq.
