Exclusive War with Iran starting this week (4 Viewers)

Trump claimed no other president dared attack Iran (because they knew like everyone else except Trump that Iran would close Strait of Hormuz) and a former president thanked him. All four living former presidents deny this yet Trump repeated it. Maybe he talked to Andrew Jackson.

Trump has been a lying blowhard his whole life. The troubling part of that is career Republicans tolerate him and ignore the truth to prop up the 1% power base that lines their pockets. America is being held hostage by a deranged sociopath who has never been held accountable for his mafia boss corruption. I hope that out of the rubble will rise an honest and fair leader who will protect civil rights and human rights

It was probably the president of his MAGA fan club.

He no longer has a MAGA fanclub. They've given up on him.

I’m pretty sure he just assigned the fan club presidency to Karoline Levitt. The meetings are short when there’s only one member.

Chief of the anti terrorism wing of the DOW resigned over Trump's Iran invasion today. That's scary.

Joe Kent is a racist lunatic. We've put up with his campaigns to for the House in SW Washington for years. He didn't resign because he suddenly found morality; he resigned because he hates Jews.

He may well be a racist but his reasons for not invading Iran are valid and as far as I can read here, my point is if a trumpet like him can’t agree with trumps invasion, then we have even less stability than we did before.

Right now, in this country, we are actually having statements from undereducated people along the lines of, Hitler was a bad person, but he was right about immigration or putting his country first or a ton of other crazy crap. It's grown to a point where we have seen propagandized symbolism from our government that is very similar to that used by Nazi Germany.

"He may well be a racist but..." hurts my soul. I will not validate a statement from a person who was only put into that position because of his hate, but also someone who believes that your wife and my father should not be in this country.

Doing right thing for wrong reasons.
Quitting Trump because he isn't and can't fulfill campaign promises yes.
Quitting Trump because the Jews run everything wrong.

I just assume that's a given with any Trump cabinet member or appointee. I still agree with him about not invading Iran. I have no doubt most of our executive branch and a big chunk of the legislators of govt would like your dad and my wife out of the country. Unfortunately if it keeps heading that direction we all may be looking to leave the fascist regime behind. Our govt is dangerous these days. I never liked Mike Pompeo but I respected his stance on Taiwan relations more than most diplomats in recent history. I think it's important to give props to an action even without praising the actor.

Joe Kent said 2020 election stolen and January 6 insurrectionists were political prisoners. Any violence that day was caused by FBI. That was enough for Trump to appoint him even if he is an anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist. Senate narrowly confirmed him on party line vote.

Maybe a mod can remove question mark from thread title.

Trump, unsurprisingly, says he barely knew Joe Kent but he was very weak on security. Which is why Trump appointed him to head up counter terrorism and guided his approval through the Senate.

Yesterday, Ali Larijani, widely regarded as the de facto leader of Iran following Khamenei's death was killed, along with the Basij commander Gholamreza Soleimani and his deputy. In my view, this is highly significant. As further strikes continue to dismantle the IRGC's leadership structure, the conditions may be drawing closer to a moment where the Iranian people can rise up and free themselves from the regime that has oppressed them for so long.

 

[crandc]

Or very likely killing of their leaders by foreign invaders has result of tightening resolve to resist and strengthens hard liners. In history as opposed to AI that has happened often.

Six months ago ..

The State Department fired its top Mid East oil and gas experts.

The Navy decommissioned state of the art minesweepers.

Great planning.

Call them antisemitic. That'll do it. SMH...

Joe Kent is a patriot by every definition.

Calling him antisemitic after all his sacrifice is so predictable.

So one can't be both antisemitic and a patriot? Why does his sacrifice preclude him from that?

Interesting. Can you be a patriot while hating some Americans? Is it patriotic to want some Americans to not have civil rights?

Where's the antisemitism? It's the most lazy allegation and it has completely lost any meaning. Are you suggesting that this war isn't for Israel?

Yes, disregarding whether or not our values align, he was deployed in war and his wife died in the war. It's not too complicated.
