The descent in to pedantry.

Ok, catch you next time.

Wait a minute...

Stating someone is capable of improvement and wishing for the improvement = a personal attack...

I think we might have a clear and concise starting point from which to commence our practice!

No implying that I require improvement is the attack. Anyway, take care.

Geez, you know as well as I do...

I was not implicit in my writing...I was rather explicit..

Everybody needs improvement.

You take care as well.

Plus he won't even pay his campaign workers the !5.00 dollar an hour minimum wage he advocates...

A non-starter...

Deterrence has been established and there isn't a war.

When the Marines start dropping in they’ll have to change their army slogan to Iran away.

That's the spirit!

Always good to maintain a sense of humor in the face of another endless war.

Another key Trump ally is thrown under the bus for removing his lips from the God-Emperor's ass for just one second. To Trump, loyalty means nothing less than public fealty at all times. Gaetz may learn his lesson from this, or he may just abandon his last shred of dignity and try to crawl back into Trump's good graces.

I would not be so quick to believe this lawyer.

Can't find the source right now (it may have been Gaetz himself on Tucker) but the real inside word is Trump wants the entire War Powers Act to be gutted and wants only Congress to have the power to declare war or authorize military force.

That would be a good thing!

I've given the same advice. Wanna hurt Trump? Hurt his clubs. Hell, blow up Mar-a-Lago and he'll be forced to work instead of golf all day.

Well, start giving your advice to people capable of carrying out your wishes. It's obvious Iranians can't get their targets right.

They had the right target, just got caught before they could get closer, I suspect.

Omar didn't "advise" Iran to do anything. She just made the perfectly reasonable point that Trump's multinational business interests pose a major conflict of interest to his role as president, because he could be provoked into war if Iran targeted his overseas properties. Yes, ideas can be spread indirectly through innuendo and suggestion, something that Trump does all the time when he pushes conspiracy theories with his "A lot of people are saying..." lines, but that's hardly what happened here. Like, come on, of course the Iranians would have already thought of threatening Trump's properties. It doesn't take a brilliant military strategist to have that idea.

I’ve been thinking about this and I may be being unreasonable, so help me out if I am, but Trump’s “victory” came at a cost of approximately 200 human lives. A genuine tragedy in almost every other context. Most of those lives were taken in direct response to Trump assassinating, probably illegally according to international laws, maybe American too, a general who is largely replaceable. Trump admitted the impeachment partially motivated the act and the rest of the motivation is not very strongly justified at this time. The whole circus seems unnecessary and only makes sense in a way that props up narratives rather than a utilitarian need. If I am right, and please tell me why I’m not, then this seems less a win and more an abhorrent charade.

Where did Trump admit impeachment motivated the taking out of Suleimaini?

Further, the Iranians admitted they are the ones who fired the missile at the plane.

How in the world do you lay that on Trump?
