Republicans are quite simply un-American

[icanhelp1]

It appears she is the one who read something else into the question she was responding to. The House resolution was to limit military action without Congressional approval. That is their prerogative, and it's quite different from "being responsible for foreign policy".

If congress is so hep on removing troops from the ME then, all they have to do is legislate a bill and do it, they're like the fool in the midst of a fight yelling" hold me back"! "HOLD ME BACK"! and then do nothing!

If that's what you're reading into the House resolution, then I don't know that I can help you.

Iran attacks us under direction of Soleimani. We defend ourselves, killing Soleimani. Iran launches missiles at us, which miss. They then shoot down a Ukrainian plane filled with students. Meanwhile, God steps in and sends a couple of earthquakes to threaten their nuke plant.

After watching this episode of the Three Stooges (Iran as Moe, Iraq as Curly and Ukraine as Larry), Trump said, "Fuck it. Those idiots will shoot down their own air force FOR me."

NOW that things are looking like they're settling down, the House steps up and says, "You BETTER not fight without my permission! Well, unless you have to." I'm paraphrasing of course.

So how exactly are they "not" behaving as ich1 suggests?

No one disputes that Soleimani was a bad guy, but what attack were we "defending" against?

Easy. He was going to train kamikazes to fly airplanes into embassies.

 

[gunthernehmen]

No they wanted to use those students for that but forgot the test flight was a final exam. Oops.

His next planned attack, whatever it was, probably the shit he was stirring in Iraq.

And yea, they do, "progressives" have been weeping for days, House (D)eez moved to protect Iran and the masses/Hollywood are begging big bad Iran not come over here and kill us all!!!!

LOL shit's been great to watch.... Trump couldn't have asked for a better reaction from them.

Worse they've virtue signaled to protect Iran, it's islamo-fascism and anti-American terrorist.

Hell (D)eez are probably trying to find some more pallets of cash to send them.

They for sure are doing all they can to make sure nobody stops them when they come here with their push for open borders and immigration.

I don't need your help. This toothless resolution was nothing more than the SWAMP QUEEN seething with TDS and more grandstanding. Anyone with a brain can realize Trump doesn't want war with Iran. Right now the Dem party is without a brain, they function on pure Trump hatred and fuck the american people.

Trump continuously shows restraint and makes Nancy looks like a fool, The Dems consistently overreacting to everything Trump does. Trump's edict is " if you kill an american we will hold Iran responsible. I remember JFK during the Cuban missile crisis when he warned the Soviets that an attack on the Americas by cuba will be regarded as an attack by the Soviets and would result in a full retaliatory attack upon the Soviet Union.

 

[YDB95]

The same Trump who asked why we can't just nuke all our enemies? The one who likely would have attacked North Korea if an alert staffer hadn't taken a document off his desk and guessed (correctly) that he would forget about it?

I think you just lost any right to ever call anyone else "deranged" again, icanhelp1.

I don't recall calling anyone "deranged". Trump says things in jest and you loons just go apoplectic. I don't know of any document taken off his desk, cite. Most you you loons have lost credibility. You can't from day one call for impeachment and then spend 3 years trying to find a crime that fits. The house Dems led by the SWAMP QUEEN are a vile group. Obama's DOJ and NSA have done some pretty despicable acts and you just smooth right over it. I will be flabbergasted if Nancy wins in 2020.

If you can't even keep track of the insults you sling around, maybe it's time to step back from the computer for a bit.

Bob Woodward, Fear: Trump in the White House. You should read it, very enlightening, if also terrifying when you see just how unhinged Trump really is.

Most you you loons have lost credibility. You can't from day one call for impeachment and then spend 3 years trying to find a crime that fits.

Nah, much better to spend over five years and $40 million of taxpayer dollars like they did with Clinton. Besides, we didn't need to "try to find a crime that fits"; Trump admitted he did it before someone got it through his thick head that he shouldn't do that.

The house Dems led by the SWAMP QUEEN are a vile group. Obama's DOJ and NSA have done some pretty despicable acts and you just smooth right over it. I will be flabbergasted if Nancy wins in 2020.

I won't. Pelosi is running for re-election in one of the bluest districts in the country. She'll win, no doubt about it.
Now, if you were referring to the Dems maintaining their House majority, that's not set in stone, but don't underestimate how fired up the Democratic base is to get out and vote this year. You can whine about TDS all you want, but the point is we are going to vote. Deal with it.

That was hours ago. What did you say again?

The Republicans haven't turned this nation into a theocracy yet however, they are already in the early stages of setting things up.

If you pay attention, you may have noticed the "religious freedom" laws they've passed in states like Mississippi. These laws do nothing to enhance freedom, however, they do allow Christians to bully, dehumanize and discriminate against gays, lesbians, transgender people and other people that their religious doctrine tells them to hate.

Most people are not trained to recognize what is going on with Trump’s authoritarian agenda. The American people either do not understand those facts or they do not want to inconvenience themselves and disrupt their lives. That lack of mass protest and resistance is also an indictment of a particular American way of life where people are overly comfortable and take too many things for granted about their democracy and democratic freedoms.

 

[gunthernehmen]

I can't help but wonder if you are paid to do this, if you've been brainwashed or if you're really that idiotic. It's one of those. I just can't figure out which.

It would help if you could point to anything she said that was actually incorrect...

 

[gunthernehmen]

The first, second and third sentences and the entirety of what she quoted. However, I was speaking generally, including of you.

You all are nuttier than a squirrel. The fanaticism "you" show going after Trump is simply saddening.

Let me guess, you think the Republicans had nothing but respect for Obama.

This whole post qualifies, it's a "progressive" projection at best.

The only people pushing an authoritarian agenda, threatening democracy and individual freedom are the "progressives".

 

[gunthernehmen]

No. He was a dunce.

But the bad behavior of a few scattered malcontents doesn't justify the en masse hysteria demonstrated by the Democrat Party.

He's president. He's not doing a bad job. He's probably going to be reelected and if he holds the economy in good shape during his second term you can probably practice saying President Rand in 2024.

And then the Democrats can impeach HIM for lacing his belt in the wrong direction.

Trump has placed himself above the law, and Republicans are okay with that. This is the exact opposite of what our Founding Fathers intended.

WASHINGTON POST OPINION? That's where you get your shit.

You need to take your perfectly shaped head and pull it out of your perfectly shape buttocks.

You're way late to the party. Obama's administration always considered itself above the law. You do know DACA was unconstitutional right. You do know fast and furious was against the law, right. Maybe spying on congress and journalist was OK with you. Maybe using the IRS for political advantage was OK. Maybe illegal FISA warrants to spy on an american citizen was more up you bottocks. The Iran nuclear deal, what was that? It wasn't a treaty, what the fuck was it? It was obligating the US to an agreement that needed congressional approval, but, hey! it's OK it's Obama. Then we have a night time UPS delivery of pallets of cash done behind congresses back, to Iran no less, of course, they ain't too bright either, they should have impeached him then.

Do you see the hypocrisy!

 

[phrodeau]

See, the GOP has to use corrupt practices, obstruction, suppression, bullying, lying, bribery, slander and fearmongering in order to keep some political power “for the good of the country.” It’s like the 300 million guns and the 22 trillion dollar debt. Just something that America has to live with.
