@oralloy,
Republicans and their war on healthcare are responsible for more deaths than Iran and had they rammed in their worthless insurance deal, millions of American would be without healthcare.

And you have the audacity to criticize Iran for protecting its own interests?

War On Healthcare Could Kill More Americans Than Most U.S. Military Conflicts

Add that to the war on the middle class and the war on our allies waged by Trump, Russia and the republicans and who is the real enemy here?

YOU.

Not a lie, Russian or otherwise.

Progressives were really happy about the 9/11 attacks, and said that America got what it deserved.

Trump tweets predicting Obama would start a war with Iran to get reelected are coming back to haunt him

Source


In 2011 and 2012, Donald Trump repeatedly accused President Barack Obama of seeking war with Iran to help win the 2012 presidential election.
“In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran,” Trump tweeted in 2011, years before he began his own presidential campaign.
On Thursday, Trump ordered the killing of Qassem Soleimani, a top Iranian military commander who was one of the most powerful men in the Middle East.
The assassination came with Trump’s approval rating mired at 42% and with him facing removal from office through impeachment in a US election year.

Tweets from back in 2011 and 2012 in which Donald Trump predicted that President Barack Obama would start a war with Iran to secure his reelection have gone viral after the US assassinated a top Iranian general, dramatically escalating its confrontation with Iran.

Trump personally ordered the killing by airstrike of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who is believed to have died in the early hours of Friday near an airport in Baghdad.

The Pentagon said Soleimani, who led the Quds Force and was one of the most powerful men in the Middle East, “was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region.”

Trump’s only statement was to tweet a picture of the US flag.

Despite Trump’s evident pride at the attack, many on social media seized on his previous posts where, with Obama in the White House, Trump had condemned the idea of military action against Iran as foolish electioneering.

In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 29, 2011

Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

Don't let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected–be careful Republicans!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2012

Trump, then best known as a reality-TV star and real-estate developer, hammered home the point in a 2011 video filmed in his Trump Tower office.


Trump on Nov. 16, 2011:

“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective. So the only way he figures that he's going to get reelected — and as sure as you're sitting there — is to start a war with Iran.” pic.twitter.com/usZFLiHnBw

— JM Rieger (@RiegerReport) January 3, 2020

After Obama won reelection, Trump continued to accuse him of seeking war with Iran.

I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 16, 2013

Trump’s attacks on Obama’s Iran policy came amid heightened tensions over Iran’s nuclear program, which the Obama administration had sought to halt.

Israel, a key US ally in the Middle East, had threatened airstrikes meant to cripple Iran’s nuclear program. But with Obama having pledged to limit US entanglement in foreign conflicts, the administration was wary of conflict with Iran.

During his second term Obama sought rapprochement with Iran and its new reformist president, Hassan Rouhani, successfully negotiating the Iran nuclear deal that saw Iran halt its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.

During Trump’s three years in power tensions with Iran have escalated, with the president scrapping the nuclear deal in 2018 and introducing new, punishing sanctions.

The Pentagon has blamed a series of attacks on the US and its allies on Iran, culminating in an attack on the US Embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday by protesters from an Iran-backed militia.

Trump’s approval rating is languishing at 42.4%, according a model by FiveThirtyEight, and he is the first US president to face an impeachment trial while running for reelection.

The most recent president to be impeached, Bill Clinton, also faced accusations of launching a foreign military strike to distract voters from his domestic political woes.

Back in December 1998, Clinton authorised airstrikes against Iraq, then controlled by Saddam Hussein, only a day after the House of Representatives accused him of “high crimes and misdemeanours” in relation to his affair with the White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

Farmers are one of the many facets of American commerce who are paying Trump's loans back to Russia for him...

He won't have to raise a dime himself and in the end he will own the principle lock stock and barrel... Sweet deal for the crook Trump...

Donald Trump seems to think a healthy U.S. economy should make him immune from impeachment.

That’s a little like saying a thief should be let off because he pays his taxes. Or that Mussolini made the trains run on time. But then Trump has never been one for, well, the law.

In another flailing tweet today, Trump said that his “work” as POTUS should absolve him of any crimes he may have committed. Because … well, just because.

But, hey, it doesn’t work that way:


Ilhan Omar

@IlhanMN
Impeachment isn't a performance evaluation, it's a charge of misconduct!

You were impeached because you violated your oath of office and abused the power of your office.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
As hard as I work, & as successful as our Country has become with our Economy, our Military & everything else, it is ashame that the Democrats make us spend so much time & money on this ridiculous Impeachment Lite Hoax. I should be able to devote all of my time to the REAL USA!


As Omar pointed out, claiming immunity because you think you’re doing a good job is just nonsense.

Also, “ashame” isn’t a word.

And there’s no reason to capitalize “country,” “economy,” and “military.”

And “Lite” is a trademark of MillerCoors.

And job growth has actually slowed considerably since Trump took over as president.

And stock market gains were higher under Obama than under Trump during the first three years of their respective presidencies.

And putting “REAL USA!” in all caps just makes him look stupid and desperate.

But other than that, hey, PERFECT TWEET!

Thanks, Rep. Omar, for pointing out what impeachment means to the actual president of the United States. But — spoiler alert — he still doesn’t get it.

Comment:
And, does Trump really pay his taxes???

Why still hiding the returns?

Despite Desperate Denials, Support for Impeaching and Removing Trump is GROWING!
It has never been more clear that Donald Trump will lie about anything. After launching an attack that killed Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC's) Quds Force, Trump and his team claimed that Soleimani was plotting a "major" attack on Americans. Of course, he provided no evidence of that, despite how implausible it seems. Why would Iran suddenly want to provoke an armed conflict with the United States?

Naturally, Trump did, as always, have Fox news to cover for him. They are his Ministry of Propaganda who will eagerly and obediently affirm his lies. But regardless of how determined they are to construct a fantasy world wherein Trump is an infallible hero, the American people are not that easily fooled. A new poll by FiveThirtyEight and Ipsos has more bad news for Trump:

"A majority (57 percent) of Americans said they think Trump committed an impeachable offense. Fifty-two percent said they think Trump’s actions regarding Ukraine or his refusal to cooperate with the impeachment inquiry constitute enough evidence to remove him from office."
Once again, a significant majority of voters have expressed their desire to see Trump impeached and removed from office. This is not a new development. Many other polls have shown the same thing over an extended period of time. However, this poll is proof that one of Trump's most frequent assertions about impeachment is patently false. As recently as last month Trump declared that "Impeachment has backfired thoroughly on the Democrats." As usual, he provided nothing to support that claim. He just expects his glassy-eyed disciples to believe whatever he tells them. And, sadly, many will.

This poll not only demonstrates that the public favors Trump's impeachment, it also shows that this sentiment is growing, not backfiring as Trump says. The poll also reveals that most Americans want the Senate to conduct a fair impeachment hearing with witnesses and document production. During the House hearings Trump whined bitterly about wanting witnesses to testify, while simultaneously prohibiting them from doing so. Now he is opposed to such testimony and is pressuring GOP leader Mitch McConnell to decline to have hearings at all.

Trump is obviously afraid of a reality that places him in political peril. so he concocts an alternative version of it that better matches his narcissistic world view. And he passes that along to his cult followers who are just as anxious as he is to latch unto some comforting falsehoods. It would be a pathetic state of affairs for any individual. But when that individual is the President of United States it's downright dangerous.

The situation currently unfolding with Iran is an excellent example of how Trump's pathological dishonesty impacts world affairs. Not only do the American people doubt everything Trump says, so do nations that would otherwise form alliances with the U.S. to combat terrorism. Trump's lying results in forcing America to drift alone in a sea of uncertainty and disrepute. The sooner we are rid of him, the better.

@TheCobbler,
It's really looking like Pelosi has backed down on impeachment.

But even if she decides to go ahead and impeach, Republicans have no intention of convicting the President over a witch hunt.

I misread that, I thought you'd written lav instead of law.

From what I've seen he's definitely one for the lav, that's where he does all his thinking and early morning tweets.
