I hope no one here is surprised Trump lied again about why he killed the Iranian general.

I instantly knew he was lying when he said there was an imminent threat. That did not make any sense at all. It is time to have hearings in the House and Senate. This may be a crime. No matter how bad a leader of another country is a president cannot assassinate them.

I watched Trumps speech this morning. Trump looked terrified. I believe he is really scared. Sometimes it is easy to forget how big of a fucking coward Trump really is. He acts tough, talks tough, threatens people in order to cover up the fact he is a big coward.

He lies about things that don't matter and things that can be easily disproved. He lies like other people breathe. So of course he lied about why he killed Suleimani. That's what he does.

to tell the truth. If he happens to be telling the truth it's an honest mistake.

but most of them grow out of it. He’s a perpetual eight-year-old granted global power, so I suppose this is all pretty predictable.

front of everyone. He was trying to divert attention away from impeachment, I'd say he really laser focused everyone's attention on impeachment now...really focused it. And the fact that Moscow mitch and his cronies are trying to get rump off w/o any witnesses who would nail rump to the wall isn't helping the repugs one bit either. They have all been caught out in the open with their gross incompetence.

... he has killed 605 Americans. Btw just like the imminent threat story which they can't show any proof of do we get to see the #s and proof of the 605 Americans that Soleimani had killed?
