We are in the midst of investigations that may eventually lead to the ouster of a criminal President; one responsible for possible physical threats, to not only the country of Ukraine but to an American citizen, Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. Mr. Trump has blatantly disregarded
Facts and figures are second to innuendo and hollow announcements in the current political climate. Three years past the Clinton/Trump presidential race the press is still biting and snarling while circling the floor and chasing its’ tail. The former head of the FBI, James Comey,
We now know the time range possible for imminent threats in Iran. Dog wagged, as the four US embassies claimed by Trump that were targeted have yet to be identified. In yet another qualification, IMPOTUS now claims “it doesn’t really matter” because Soleimani’s “horrible past” merited
Because “enemies of the people” like the press should roam free. And even the US Secretary of Defense knows nothing about the “four embassies” supposedly targeted by Soleimani. “The only problem is he doesn’t want them to roam free in the U.S., because he says
Six of nine earlier flights were in the same flight path prior to the decision to shoot at least one Tor missile at Ukraine International Air flight 752. x “FlightRadar24 showed the flight following its normal route and travelling at just over 500 kmh–far slower
Darn that Trump, he lied again. So much imminence, so little evidence for a targeted air strike that was meant to distract from an impeachment trial. President Trump said on Friday that a senior Iranian general killed by a U.S. drone strike had been planning attacks
As Trump now claims there were four rather than one embassy under imminent attack, the Trump press disinformation operation continues. Hogan Gidley was perhaps bored with telling the press when Trump golf outings would happen and decided to advance the latest GOP talking point with
As part of the ongoing project to catalog every awful thing the Trump Administration has done as a reference for future political arguments and whatever few posterity survives to see 2020, here’s everything awful the Trump Administration has done this week. Dramatically escalated the threat
There has been a lot of flack from IMPOTUSies these past few days about how the Democrats “love terrorists” and “hate America.” Sen. Tammy Duckworth gave what in any normal universe would be an unanswerable response: ‘I left parts of my body in Iraq’: Duckworth
Mike Lee (R-UT) doesn’t want to be told by the WH to “shut up and dribble” on discussing War Powers issues. As if no discussion by Congress was relevant to the question of the necessity and proportionality of assassinating Suleimani. “What I found so distressing is one
Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence and three times is a trend. My kids will tell you, and a few of my readers may remember me using this phrase over and over to explain purposeful chaos. Donald John Trump went before the nation,
Pompeo, Esper, Milley, and Haspel did the classified briefing to the House and are now making the same presentation to the Senate. Responses broke along party lines. Rep Gerry Connolly, a Democratic Foreign Affairs Committee member, says was utterly unpersuaded by the motive, reason and
Trump reiterated yet another lie about “the previous administration” funding last night’s missile strike. The JCPOA released Iran’s money held since 1980. Trump’s withdrawal from the agreement compelled Iran to leave its compliance and announce it would resume work on nuclear enrichment that could be
Jesus Christ, this asshole. All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far!
When there is a national or international crisis, when serious events are upon us, Americans turn to the one person who can unite the nation, the President of the United States, for explanations, for reassurance, for leadership. The White House was preparing the IMPOTUS to
The dog wagged once. Did the WH dodge a ballistic missile since apparently there were no casualties in the several Iranian missile strikes in Iraq. Message sent, but will Trump’s apparent lack of policy and strategy actually move Iran closer and quicker to nuclear weapons.
Two US military bases confirmed hit by at least 10 Iranian short-range ballistic missiles at this time. Irbil and Al-Asad bases hit. No casualties reported as yet. Updates as they occur. From senior US military source in Iraq:“Under missile attack from Iran. These are either
The White House narrative on Iran is falling apart. Donald Trump claims that he ordered the assassination of Qasem Soleimani due to intelligence that indicated he represented an “imminent threat” to the U.S. But reports from the Pentagon do not confirm the charge and officials
Under the terms of a 1947 treaty, the US is obligated to permit entry of any foreign dignitary who is coming here to speak to the United Nations as an official representative of the country. Foreign Policy is now reporting that, in violation of the
The debate over Donald Trump’s order to assassinate a top Iranian military commander is beginning to take on the familiar tones of the Bush administration’s dishonest and unlawful invasion of Iraq nearly twenty years ago. Following the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani there has arisen
