President when we are at war. We all knew he would pull something like this for the election, he made that comment about Obama
getting us in a war to win the election. If Democrats make this an issue they will lose. How do you argue about killing a murderer and win?

waters right now, we have nothing to compare this to. Half the public wants him removed, I think the public may end up blaming him, he has no evidence and is the biggest liar to ever step foot in DC.(I'm fully aware of how bold that statement is.)

that far in the future, at the moment. The fact that my son will be over there in this mess in two weeks, is a real life nightmare. I hope all those assholes cheering this on, will be down at the recruiters office signing themselves/their children up ASAP.🙄

4. Trump did so for political and criminal gain.

If it was to stop a coming attack, the WH would have spelled it out already.

By making clear now that Trump gained real political and legal advantage, the People later will remember it came at the cost of what’s almost certainly ahead in terms of Iranian retaliation.

Through television, I still think Doc Severinsen was my real life friend.

Through DU, I know we’re pals, doc03!

right in front of his ear, there is a straight line where his foundation ends.

Also, was it in doubt that he WOULD take a life for personal gain? Honestly, he seems like the kind who would sell his grandchildren for a nickel.

He seems to relish suffering.

Lucian K. Truscott observed:

All this is just more willful ignorance contained within his usual fog of lies. But it was his description of the grief of families meeting the bodies of their dead at Dover Air Force Base that was most illustrative of his abject disdain for human life. “They scream, like I’ve never seen anything before. They’ll break through military barriers. They’ll run to the coffin and jump on top of the coffin. Crying mothers and wives. Crying desperately.”

Trump committed an act of war for political advantage.

Nothing new, really. US sanctions alone killed 500,000 children alone in the decade after First Gulf War.

We owe the Cradle of Civilization more than an apology.

It is imperative to spell out Trump’s diversion for what it is:

Trump murdered a number of people to get the focus off the recently released documents which detail his treason in Ukraine.
