Trump started a war to avoid impeachment.

And now an Iraqi base housing US troops is being bombed per @msnbc.

This motherfucker doesn’t give a damn about any life except his own.
Iran takes credit, claiming it has launched “tens” of rockets at the base housing US military.
God people stop correcting me. I know he’s been impeached. I’m a lawyer and have been for 23 years. I’ve been commenting on politics daily for decades. “Avoid impeachment” means “avoid removal.”

Our kids are under attack by a madman. Semantics are irrelevant.
And yes, by madman I mean TRUMP.

He owns this. He’s responsible.

Periodic reminder that social media is free, you are not required to follow me, and I don’t need a DM heads up as to your exit (let alone over the photo for my label on the “unapologetically feminist” @nastywomanwines, who backed HRC because...you know.)

Love yourself. I’m good.
Also, in response to the question, “do you just block people who disagree with you?!”

Sometimes, yes. Yes I do.

It depends on how much you act out.

Welcome to Twitter, btw.
Also, the new @RepKatiePorter gifs are super fun, just as a heads up, and totally match my current state of mind on this general topic, thank you very much.

And I repeat: no plan, no exit strategy, no invitation to diplomacy.

Nothing but we're great, civilized, and our weapons are really big and deadly.

Racist white guys worried about dick size. That's our foreign policy.
(I mean, not that that's anything new. It's just far more obvious, unstable and dangerous.)
Oh, and slurring, sniffing and obvious medication.

#Iran's Soleimani’s funeral: The hallmark of a theocratic propaganda machine
Taking sheer numbers for legitimacy is an insult to the people of Iran who bravely took part in #IranProtests &lost 1000s of their loved ones.
irannewswire.org/soleimanis-fun…
1. According to #Iran's state-run media, millions of #Iranians attended the funeral of the regime’s top military commander in Tehran. They published pics of Soleimani’s funeral, saying sheer numbers proved ppl supported the regime and its chief terrorist.
2. Mainstream media were quick to push the regime’s agenda. What they fail to mention is the most fundamental feature of the current #Iranian state. It’s a theocracy & dictators are good at forcing the masses to attend propaganda gatherings.

#Iran escalation timeline [Thread]:

For the past year Trump warns #Iran not to attack Americans in the Middle East. December 27, Iran-backed Ktaib #Hezbollah killed an American contractor.

jpost.com/Middle-East/Ir…
This in turn led to the Iran backed militia and other pro-Iran elements storming into #Baghdad’s Green Zone and beginning a violent riot outside the US Embassy, eventually damaging the embassy. This latter protest raised the specter of the Iranian Embassy siege of 1979.
In response, the #US kills #IRGC chief Soleimani, (as well as Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, commander of Ktaeb Hizballah and a number of other IRGC officials). #Iran responds by firing missiles near the US Embassy in Iraq.

@SecPompeo #Soleimani helped plan the Benghazi attacks
“Soleimani was basically the Osama bin Laden of the Shiite world,” remarked Klein. “Iran is the largest state-sponsor of terrorism in the world, and Soleimani was the commander of that state-sponsor of terror #Iran
@SecPompeo #Soleimani behind the Benghazi massacre of American diplomats

#Iran has decided to directly respond against the #US assassination of #IRGC commander #QassemSoleimani and #Iraq commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandes
#Iran #IRGC cmdr #QassemSoleimani movement was not a secret because it was understood that his killing will create a response.

He was killed in #Iraq by a #US order and #Iran will hit the #US by Khamenei order.

That will drag a wider confrontation

#Iran #QassemSoleimani commander was due to visit #Turkey President Erdogan and had a visit scheduled to #Lebanon.

His trips were known for many. The assassination will not at all affect Iran military and operationally because no one is indispensable.
