Trump: "Iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world.

No American or Iraqi lives were lost because of precautions taken, and an early warning system that worked very well."
Trump: "Soleimani directed the recent attacks on U.S. personnel in Iraq that wounded service members and killed one American. In recent days, he was planning more attacks but we stopped him. Soleimani's hands were drenched in blood. We should've removed him long ago."
Trump: "Iran's hostilities substantially increased after the foolish nuclear deal was signed... Iran went on a terror spree funded by the money from the deal. The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were made available by the funds provided by the last administration."
Trump: "The time has come for the United Kingdom, France, Russia and China to recognize this reality. They must all break away from the deal...

Peace and stability cannot prevail in the Middle East as long as Iran is allowed to foment violence."
Trump: "Today, I am going to ask NATO to become much more involved in the Middle East process."

Notes our economy has become much stronger and we've become energy independent.

"We do not need Middle East oil."
Trump: "Having this great military doesn't mean we have to use it. We do NOT want to use it."

Nancy Pelosi's attempt to blackmail the U.S. Senate and hold up the impeachment trial conveniently ties up Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren on the campaign trail, and frees up Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg.
While Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are stuck as jurors in a trial in Washington, D.C., and NOT on the campaign trail, so-called "moderates" Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg will have the venues all to themselves during a critical campaign period.
Speaking w/ a life-long friend who is working for Bernie again this year, they believe he's the FR and if he loses it'll be B/C DNC tried again to rig it.

Such as taking him off the campaign trail.

That's one of several reasons why I think Joe Biden's poll position is inflated.

Congratulations.

You're one of the ≤ 4% of GOP polls show disapprove of Donald Trump.

Pretty silly.

Even with challengers on just 8 state ballots, Obama's total % of the natl pop primary vote was the lowest of any incumbent since 1992 when Pat Buchanan challenged H. W. Bush.
Yet, Barack Obama went on to clobber Mitt Romney, despite the weakest uncontested primary performance in two decades, and despite being the FIRST and ONLY incumbent to win re-election with less electoral votes and a smaller share of the popular vote.
Point being, Democrats should vote their conscience, for whomever they support just like Republicans did in 2015 and 2016.

Don't let ridiculous propaganda, favor articles like that tell you for whom to vote. They're not representative of the population.

1. Why judicial appointments matter.

Miguel Angel Chavez-Mercado (Chavez), a native and citizen of Mexico, entered the U.S. illegally in 1999 and still got permanent resident status under Bush in 2005.

On December 8, 2014, he was convicted in Texas for the following offenses...
2. On December 8, 2014, Chavez was convicted in Texas for evading arrest and burglary of a habitation. Under Obama in 2015, DHS did charge him with removability for an aggravated felony; a crime of violence.

However, the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissed it citing...
3. However, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) dismissed the charge of removal citing U.S. v. Gonzalez-Longoria, which held the definition of a crime of violence was unconstitutionally vague.

Anyhoo... DHS simply refiled under differing, more specific crime and...

Trump is speaking now, flanked by Pence, Pompeo, Esper and military leaders. "As long as I am president of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. Good morning," he begins.
Trump says Americans should be "extremely grateful and happy," because there were "no casualties" in the Iranian attack last night. "Only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases."
Trump says "Iran appears to be standing down," and that's a good thing for everyone involved and for the world.

Le président US #Trump annonce que ses tweets serviront de notification officielle au Congrès si jamais il devrait frapper, "peut-être de façon disproportionnée", de nouveau l'#Iran en représailles...
Pour le coup, c'est inédit, et sans nul doute vraiment historique.
RT
2) Ce tweet de #Trump est à la fois 1 provocation ravageuse envers le Congrès, en particulier la Chambre démocrate responsable de l'#impeachment, mais aussi la suite logique de la "re-présidentialisation" totale de la conduite des opérations militaires menée depuis le Watergate.
3) Car on en revient toujours à l'autorité légale du président US à employer la force militaire sans l'autorisation du Congrès depuis la War Powers Resolution de novembre 1973,ce qu'on abordait déjà ici vendredi, à l'initiative de l'excellente @Naismtz7.RT

1/7 Again the media is dangerously backing partisan agendas by omitting the most crucial dynamic from this #Trump #Iran #Iraq #TrumpsWar #WWIII development

Iran already owns Iraqi governors

Iran also controls the largest voting bloc in Iraq's govt

2/7 RE #Trump #Iran #Iraq #TrumpsWar #WWIII

Now Iran controls the largest voting bloc in the Iraq govt (see previous link) & the only alternative is led by this anti American cleric, as the second largest bloc that is ultimately controlled by Lebanon

3/7 RE #Trump #Iran #Iraq #TrumpsWar #WWIII

What Bolton & Trump are failing to explain (& media is failing to analyze) is they lost any allies in Iraq, Iran & Kurdistan (as well as Syria & Lebanon) by conceding to Russian dominance & creating this political vacuum in Iraqi govt
