I don't know how the Trumphumpers can believe it either since Trump has been telling them for years what crooks and liars our intelligence services are.

It's not like he had all the details to himself.

My brain is hanging into the red zone since this happened and I cannot get it down into the range where I can actually think of anything more than "F this administration." I am just so damned angry.

... Outside the airport in transit to meeting with the leaders of Iranian sponsored militias. That is consistent with actively planning further attacks, and quite effective towards stopping them.

...about as much as we believe G.W.B.'s justifcation for pre-emptive war.

Anyone find those Iraqi WMDs yet? Bush thought our inability to find them was something to joke about, all the while ignoring all of the people that died because the Bush admin lied.

no one can believe them even if they are right. And I don't believe in coincidence. Occam won't have it. Lex parsimoniae. The obvious, simplest answer is they're full of shit and this whole damn thing is to distract from the impeachment. Iran has no reason to attack the US populace directly. It would be suicidal. American admins come and go, our foreign policy changes and the Iranians are not stupid. Our current pResident most certainly is.

this is where trump shoots someone and gets away with it. I imagine all of those treasonous heads bowed over a table, over laptops, figuring the best target to hit to take the most heat off their criminal acts of treason.
