That Mike Lee complaint is stunning - HUGE!

[malaise]

Run the Con out of office - abuse of office

[madaboutharry]

1. His face was so red!

He looked like his blood pressure was around 175! I was waiting for some curse words, but I guess he was raised not to say them out loud.

[malaise]

20. That was one red face

He was really angry

[CaptYossarian]

31. I don't know his regular speech pattern, but those pauses were so he didn't swear, I guess.

Or he was channeling Jimmy Carter from 1976.

2. depends on who is mike lee I suppose nt

5. ReTHUG Senator

https://www.businessinsider.com/gop-mike-lee-furious-senate-briefing-trump-iran-strike-2020-1

Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah was furious on Wednesday after a Senate briefing on President Donald Trump's decision to order an airstrike that killed Iran's Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
Lee called it "probably the worst briefing on a military issue I've seen in nine years I've been here."
He said he "walked into that briefing undecided" on whether to support a War Powers Resolution being pushed by Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia. The resolution would limit the Trump administration's ability to take further military action against Iran without congressional authorization.
"That briefing is what changed my mind," Lee said. "I'm now going to support it."
Other lawmakers — both Republican and Democratic — also ripped the Trump administration after being briefed on the strike, saying they saw little evidence to support such drastic measures against Iran.

9. Yesterday was a complete cluster with the letter to Iraq and Trump cancelling his address.

The letter had to be Trump's doing. It's only surprising it wasn't a tweet. How and why he made the decision then reversed it needs to come out.

He then announces the address and cancels. Then he goes out there in the condition he was today. There has to be wide spread panic on the part of everyone that knows what's really going on with him. I'm sure we're going to find out.

[pangaia]

37. "...wide spread panic on the part of everyone that knows what's really going on with him"

Well, than can easily stop it.. If they had the balls.
Isn't it ARTICLE 25?

[True Blue American]

30. Thanks

I have watched it about 5 times now and Senators are rushing to stop Trump. If Mitch stops this he is dead meat.

Telling them to be good little boys and girls, sit down and shut up. Mike’s words, not mine.

[11 Bravo]

23. Really?

[H2O Man]

One more than you'd expect.

15. thank you

holy cow

[Leghorn21]

18. My pleasure, mahina! AND, in the few minutes since I posted this, "Mike Lee" has taken the

#1 spot on twitter, which means that a ton of people (LOSER45 especially included) will be aware of Lee’s
explosive rant

here’s one from the thread:


The Mike Lee comments are amazing because
they make every other Republican who came
out of the briefing praising it look like sycophantic morons

[Bob Loblaw]

45. They are sycophantic morons

21. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[blogslut]

50. Haha!

Sorry. Well, it makes sense they would post it because Mike Lee.

[Miguelito Loveless]

7. Russian operatives will show him the dirty pictures they have

and he will shut up and clap.

See, Graham, McCain, Rubio, Romney, etc.

[onethatcares]

10. ya left out scot/florida

I don't think they care about dirty pix, they care about the gravytrain ending and there's one guy that tells the bullionaires where to spend their money.

turtle mcconnell.

[Brother Buzz]

11. But, but he's protected by 'Magic' underwear

[Leith]

8. Wow

Yeah, he's not happy.

They'll bring him around. They always do.

[Mike 03]

12. It's stupendous.

Everybody, try to find the full five plus minute version. Don't watch those edited one or two minute versions. I promise, you don't want to miss a second of it.

35. Post #17 has the full vid. -nt

[Kali]

13. Mormons occasionally go against the mainstream.

[Strelnikov_]

42. Yes, they do.

For a brief time in 2016 it looked like Hillary may have had a chance in Utah.

Of course, the power of the magic (R) won out. Mormons really are disgusted with Trump . . . but not enough to vote for a (D).

[Kali]

58. I don't know...

there have been some pretty notable Dem Mormons as well. The names, Udall, Babbitt, Reid come to mind.

Having said that I know they are in declining proportions. Apparently Mormons are the most repuke voting religious group in the country.

[kentuck]

14. Indeed!

He was very angry that they asked them not to "debate or discuss" any operations that might happen in the future against Iran! For some reason, that just hit a nerve with him.

[spanone]

16. trump and company see congress as a pain in the ass, nothing more

[Scurrilous]

17. Yep.

19. I bet he has already been threatened by one of Trump's hick cultists.

[Codeine]

22. He'll be back on the teat in 48 hours.

Cheap theater for the easily impressed. They can all fuck right the fuck off, the lot of them.

[malaise]

34. I don't trust any of them given the disconnect

re impeachment and removal from office. The truth is that the ReTHUG run Senate is behaving like one of the Con's subservient Departments so they should not be surprised that he talks down to them. For that reason alone, I'm glad for the outburst. Pity Lee et al can't connect the dots.

[Takket]

24. they can't offer a reason because none exists

All reports are that killing Soleimani was strictly a revenge move because of Iran's influence on the embassy storming. drumpf made a stupid choice on what the military admitted was an extreme option given to him that was meant to guide him towards a less extreme option in the middle. There was no proactive reason for this. No intel chatter that something was coming down the pipeline.

Again, strictly reactive, not proactive.

The rethugs know this and other than Lee they all decided to cover for drumpf rather than risk crossing him.

They are some of the greatest cowards in the history of this nation.

[OliverQ]

25. Don't get too excited. He still applauded Trump's "restraint"

and said yesterday Trump didn't do anything worthy of impeachment.

I'm sure he'll fall back in line soon enough.

[malaise]

26. That's my worry

The shit will soon hit the fan

[KPN]

46. What it comes down to in my mind is, he doesn't really care one iota if 45 steamrolls over,

ignores and disrespects Democrats, but he does care if 45 tries to steamroll over, ignore or disrespect him or his Republican colleagues. He clearly has the stark "us against them mentality" that the entire GOP exhibits toward all Democrats which, frankly, we have been forced to take in response -- as we should.

[LakeArenal]

27. Everyone of them are complicit.

A little too late, Mike, to bitch about demeaning now.

Babies in cages, asshole.

[empedocles]

28. A tentative step in the better direction. A nice sign.

[2naSalit]

32. I guess I missed something...

what happened? I had to go see my shrink. She said everybody is freaked out that she sees.

[OnDoutside]

33. It's Mike Lee. Hardly Mr. Backbone !

[TheCowsCameHome]

36. I thought that was from the Onion.

Lee, of all people?

W.O.W.

[pangaia]

38. He is worried that this goers against the constitution !!!!!!

You dumb fuck ! Where the hell have you been the last three years as as moron in orange make and a bunch of religious nut jobs have been shredding the constitution every day...



BY THE WAY.. I live, unfortunately, not quote far enough from Hill Cumorah. I went in the museum just for a lark one day while out on a summer motorcycle drive...... What a crock of shit !!!

[malaise]

39. Hilarious indeed

Their disconnect is deep and wide

[pangaia]

40. HEY congrats on the 200,000!!!

[LiberalFighter]

41. Yep! Saw part of it on Deadline.

[kimbutgar]

43. Wait until he gets the tweet attacking him

I can see him backtracking pretty quickly and kissing mf45’s butt. “Sorry sir, I spoke out of turn” “I won’t ever speak out again, you are the greatest president ever in the history of this country”

Wait for it 3-2-1.....

[0rganism]

44. gee Mike, if only there were some vote you could cast to help us recover from this disaster

nevermind, i guess, carry on. nothing to see here.

[47of74]

47. Lee can go fuck himself

He supported the orange butt plug before so his whining now means not a fucking thing to me.

[kacekwl]

49. You can't trust a Republican.

Any Republican, any time. He opening statements made that clear. Crystal.

[bucolic_frolic]

51. He'll be Susan Collins in no time

Republicans can read polls and will make wavering noises until blue in the face. But watch their voting record.

[Prosper]

52. Trump is in big trouble if the extent of Iran's retaliation is over.

No retaliation means it’s okay to excise high ranking officials. Trump has outdone the previously covert CIA with his overt execution.

[C_U_L8R]

53. The Trumps aren't just incompetent

They're lazy and they're mean. Comeuppance is coming.

[Toorich]

54. Verrrrrrrry Interestink.......

.....The lying liars are upset because they are being lied to by the lying liars?

If a lying liar complains about being lied to is that a lie about the truth or the truth about a lie about the truth?
