    That’s been the case for all the other attacks, including the ones he has done WITHIN the United States. No mandate and no legal basis.

    “Ignoring your duty and responsibility to govern has downstream consequences.” This and more lessons Congress will never learn, tonight at 11.

    Congress doesn’t care. There’s absolutely zero rule of law when it comes to Trump.

    All these dipshit brushing off his threats to the midterms need to wake up real fucking fast. Trump never lies about his depravity when he’s admitting to it.

    Millions will die because stupid fucking Americans are too arrogant to take anything Trump threatens seriously, and are too fucking stupid to be able to understand how life is always worse under fascism than neo-liberalism.

    The sad/ironic thing?

    Much like with Iraq and Afghanistan, there actually ARE very good reasons to intervene. Iran has been murdering protestors by the thousands for the past year and a LONG history of human rights abuses before that.

    But the plight of Brown People™ doesn’t sell to the Left or the Right. So instead we focus on “uranium enrichment”.

    And then we see the same shit as with Venezuela where the complete lack of empathy for non-caucasians results in all the tankies deciding that anyone who actually IS happy that an evil fascist is gone/dead is too stupid to understand how things work.

    And, of course, we have the republican chuds who similarly need to focus on this being about protecting white people rather than just… caring about human rights.

    Of course, it is also hard to do that when you have two pro-genocide governments involved. But… we got how many decades out of thinking that The Allies actually cared about The Jews and The Romanis and so forth when we went to war with Germany?

    It is not entirely clear what transformed Trump from a peace president to a war president, but there are clues.

    He was never a peace president.

    Also this kid loves regime changes, maybe he should get one he’ll never forget.

      Right? He’s never said the truth (except accidental slips of his true plans), fuck the complicit media. Were cooked cause we don’t have any honest sources of news any longer, and that was fully and 100% intentional by the ruling class.

        There are still a few with journalistic integrity out there but nothing from a multinational news corp that’s for sure.

      Calling it now. Nothing will happen.

      A slap on the wrist here. A scapegoat there. Nothing serious.

      The people that run America want this to happen. The mega-wealthy. They don’t care.

      They are in charge. The people could be if they rose up or protested enough. They won’t though. As long as they have their TV shows and food on the table the majority sadly don’t give a shit.

    He’s going to lose his base over this. If you want to see how the most rabid Trump supporters are talking about the strike, head over to patriots.win.

    Trigger warning: all of them. That’s where r/TheDonald went after they were banned from Reddit. Left to their own devices for 5 years, they’ve basically turned into another Stormfront.

        True, Trump himself won’t be up for reelection again, but Republicans depend on Trump’s cult of personality for turnout now. It will matter in November.

          Do you think we are going to have anything close to a real election? That was an hour ago in the movie, did you fall asleep?
