Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) announced this morning that he would oppose the introduction of his war powers resolution on Iran if the ceasefire holds. He described the resolution as a moot point if peace is restored. That is clearly not going to satisfy colleagues like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) who is struggling to maintain her call for impeachment.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez seemed a tad adrift when asked about the ceasefire, offering a rambling explanation on why it does not change a thing in terms of impeachable conduct:
“I think that the president of the United States, admitting that he unilaterally brought the United States into a war without congressional approval, is a very grave public admission. It is illegal. It is unconstitutional…And, and so for me, while the president is posting something about a ceasefire, I think what he also posted was an official acknowledgement that this was war. And I think that is something that should be taken into very serious consideration.”
It was an obvious blow to many democrats. You get all dressed up for an impeachment and then peace suddenly breaks out.
If it is any solace, there was never a plausible impeachment in the making. If so, you could have impeached presidents going back to Thomas Jefferson. Barack Obama dropped over 26,000 bombs in 2016 alone from Syria to Libya to Somalia to Pakistan to Afghanistan to Iraq. Democrats did not rise up and demand impeachment after Obama was hitting targets around the world.
Nevertheless, you could also taste the palpable disappointment for many. However, Marisa Tomei may have put it best for some when peace suddenly broke out in the middle of an impeachment effort (warning foul language):
I’m one indictment away from being re-elected.
Could say that the Democrat Party is not inflicted with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) but has fundamentally transformed to become completely anti-American / anti-constitutionalists.
These conditions are not mutually exclusive.
Trumptards. They loudly accuse everyone else of being anti-Constitutional when Trump is the most anti-Constitutional president we’ve ever had.
If you’re not going to mow the lawn, can you at least sweep out the garage?
opinion is worth only the character of the opiniated prog – zero.
TDS is dead. Real TDS expired with the actual *election* of Trump – TDS was the ‘fear’ of Trump being elected (again!).
Joe Biden was elected on that ‘fear’.
*now, their worst nightmares have come true.
I respectfully disagree. From what we have seen on MSM, and to a degree of some Democrats in Congress, TDS is still very alive and well. The upside is more and more moderate and traditional Democrats are tired of the TDS side of their party and want the party to return to roots as the party of JFK and not the stupid and crazy the far leftists have brought in. My sister, who is a moderate and traditional Democrat, wrote to both the DNC and the Biden campaign that if they did not get off the stupid and crazy, she would not vote for them but third party.
@Upstate
Yes, indeed. And look no farther than the NYC primary to see how effective is. I still have friends there, and they would rather suffer the consequences of the woke left than ever even acknowledge that Trump is not evil incarnate. TDS really is mental illness, and there does not, as yet, seem to be any cure. The boroughs in New York are probably lost. It’s up to us to not the let the rest of the country follow suit. Again. Don’t think it’ll spread? It already is. 🤷🏻♂️We do not get to relax just yet.
Now I’m purple. Must have made a typo, my bad.
James,
I think there is a cure. It is called hardship. Something of an anathema to the woke leftists. They want everyone else to do the work for them but do no work themselves. That is that whole, failed, socialist, communist paradigm fails. It works for those few at the very top in power but suppresses all others.
Those of us whom have to endure real hardship, to work hard to get were we are, to have to save money, to make smart financial decisions, delayed gratitude, pay only in cash, we understand money flow. We understand financial responsibility. We understand what it takes to sacrifice ourselves for the betterment of our children. That is something the woke leftists do not understand. But, than again, they also support foregoing having children. Which is really a good thing. Then, they will not reproduce and create more of their kind. That is a good thing for a modern society. Who would want a society of useless eaters?
Consumers —as long as their money is honest consumers are welcome.
I am hopeful that, for a time, peace will break out. But time will tell. Nothing is permanent in human affairs and all sides know that, some better than others.
I think that Israel and the US are capable of working towards peace. Hamas is very questionable since their losses have been so massive and yet they still will not recognize that. Iran is uncertain. Iran, at one time, had a peaceful relationship with Israel prior to the fall of the Shah. That all changed with the Islamic Republic. I think Iran could return to peace with the US and Israel but probably not with the Ayatollah’s having veto power over every significant decision in Iran. Change the government or remove the Ayatollahs and you might have peace. Otherwise it will be unlikely. If Iran accepts peace then Hamas might cave in.
Diplomacy is fine but diplomacy with overwhelming military might and a willingness to use it is even better. Remember Diplomacy is just war by other means.
Give Reza Pahlavi, Crown Prince of Iran, a plane ticket to Tehran. Employ his standing as a patriotic fellow countryman and leader to establish a democratic restricted-vote republic under the Constitution of the United States retitled as the Constitution of Iran—distinctly not one-man, one-vote communism.
The memories of the Shah and his Savak and the Imperial Guard are long so I doubt that Reza Pahlavi would be welcome under any circumstances. Ironically the Ayatollah uses the same ‘techniques’ with political prisoners.
GEB,
Well said and I agree.
I would like to see more reporting on how the other Arab countries think and feel on the situation. I would think the Saudis would welcome the air strikes and maybe some of the others.
They’re all blood Brothers and Mohammed is their messenger.
When the fringe leftist democrats purposefully set out to destroy Donald Trump by any means necessary they didn’t figure he’d do some boldly successful things. Blinded by hate, they will press ahead with “impeachment” every silly time they manufacture disagreement with the president. My hope is that this blind hatred will subvert their chances of winning any meaningful elections for the rest of my life.
Trump will be remembered as a hero a few generations from now, when the toxic fumes of TDS hatred have blown away. The Dems are miserable today because they know that, and it is dawning on them that they are “on the wrong side of history,” to use their own hackneyed phrase.
OldManFromKS,
It will be interesting to see how historians will address how for a brief period in American history, seemingly half of the country lost their minds thinking things like biological men in women’s sports is okay, or a SC Justice cannot define what a woman is. That people referred to themselves as xi/xer/xim. Drag show story hour was okay. How one political party not only got on board with the insanity, but promoted it. Then they all lost their minds even more when one man got elected. Not once, but twice. And had two successful terms.
All that and the Covid insanity, with unnecessary lockdowns, destruction of small businesses, masking of children, academic losses, an extra several trillion in stimulus debt, and mandates to take an experimental vaccine. Mass formation psychosis will become a common way of describing the age of Biden. The body politic was placed in the coffin and was almost dead, but on 11/5/24 it had just enough strength to lift the cup of medicine to its mouth and be revived.
OldManFromKS,
Well said.
With all the data that is now coming out about how the lockdowns were a disaster, the vaccines were not as effective as advertised and for that matter, studies are showing the vaccine may have caused miscarriages especially for those women in their first trimester.
The Age of Biden: Mass formation psychosis. Good one!
Certainly is punishing.
I will project that if the dem/prog party ever gains control again, there will be nothing but ashes upon which to look back upon. Our previous civil war will look like a picnic compared to what the progs will do to this nation should they ever, again, gain control of anything within our federal government. It is tragic, enough, to watch what they are doing to individual states at this point..
whimsicalmama,
I get what you are saying, but I like to think there are enough sane and normal people, to include moderate and traditional Democrats who think the far-leftist that have taken over their party, would just say “No!” And you are correct about what they are doing to Blue states, like the failed state of CA. Soon states like IL, NY, DE, MD will have the distinct honor of joining the “failed” state status. Although I did read the NY governor did green light the gas pipeline to the NE and building new nuclear power. Probably saw what is happening to all those Blue states who went in heavy with “green energy,” like MD did and had to have PA bail them out or they would of had rolling blackouts as their “green energy” could not keep up with demand during this heat dome.
Wokeism and progressivism are dead or dying. There are too many people who see their stupid and crazy policies as just that. And they want no part of it. Moderate and traditional Democrats who think the far-leftist that have taken over their party, like Bill Maher, James Carville, the good professor and even my own Democrat sister, dont want the stupid and crazy in their party. They may not vote Republican, but they also will stop donations, they will vote third party until the Democrat party gets back to their roots and ditches the progressive part of the party.
However, the progressives being the extremists they are, I would not put it past them to do really stupid and crazy things like ratchet up the violence rhetoric more so than they already have. And I could see that spill over to actual violent action, more so than we have seen so far. I think it would be short lived as the sane and normal would see them as fighting for something only a very small minority support and the backlash from the rest of us would be sever. Hey. I am not going to start it and as I have stated here on the good professor’s blog a real shooting civil war needs to avoided at much as possible but if they choose to go there, I am ready and willing to stop them in kind.
I’m from NY and hochul is up for election: hence the fake to sanity – it won’t last. Demographically, the woke are outnumbering the sane old blue dog dems and academia is churning out morons as fast as they can print those useless degrees. I’m a boomer and my fellow boomers who went down the hippy/peace/love train are the monied core of the current dem party. Those so indoctrinated will not be swayed by logic – only a 2×4 up side of their heads.
True

I fail to see how the likes of Massie or AOC are any philosophically different, though one is obviously an entitled bag of rocks who would happily destroy this country in her abject ignorance and likely stupidity; enough already. Let POTUS do his job, and let the rest of us decide. I am not sorry about the air strike, not even a little bit.
Massie entered an endeavor where compromise was the name of the game. He has no problem killing himself for the sake of Libertarianism. I don’t think he realizes Libertarianism is not the same as Liberty.
What better IDIOM than Foot in Mouth describes the current crop of fools running about declaring the United States is at War. These fools use tripe terms and open-ended meaning that in Shakespeare’s words signify nothing. The United States had surgery on November 5, 2024 to repair its spine, and a dose of antacid to remove the symptoms of Yellow Belly. We no longer have leaders Cowering in the Corner yelling: “DON’T”.
George W
George W,
Great comment! I like the “The United States had surgery on November 5, 2024 to repair its spine, and a dose of antacid to remove the symptoms of Yellow Belly. We no longer have leaders Cowering in the Corner yelling: “DON’T” line! That is what Trump showed the world. He is a president who is not afraid to give the order for a military strike.
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte message to Trump:
Mr President, dear Donald: Congratulations and thank you for your decisive action in Iran, that was truly extraordinary, and something no one else dared to do. It makes us all safer. You are flying into another big success in The Hague this evening. It was not easy but we’ve got them all signed onto 5 percent! Donald, you have driven us to a really, really important moment for America and Europe, and the world. You will achieve something NO American president in decades could get done. Europe is going to pay in a BIG way, as they should, and it will be your win. Safe travels and see you at His Majesty’s dinner!
Given Trump’s differences with NATO over the past nine years, this is pretty big. In other news, the same federal judge that ruled the cease fire unconstitutional has now ordered Trump to put money in the “oopsie” jar for swearing.
Just remember President Trump has only been in office for 5 months and here are 30 pages of actions this administration has taken. This might explain why Democrats seem so discombobulated. Their only strategy that has had any impact to slow the America First agenda is court shopping to impose nationwide injunctions. And that may be coming to an end as early as Thursday. The Democratic party might be looking for their own “cease-fire.”

Well, it’s like moving into a really dilapidated old house in utter shambles with roof caved in, leaning walls, sagging beams, peeling paint, trash everywhere, wild vermin running here and there, bat’s and wasp nests, and you just begin by throwing out the garbage like mad with huge dumpster trucks hauling it away and pest control comes in, the carpenters get to work……….. same thing.
LOL! Now if you put all of that into those 1 hour “Fix This House” programs, that’s what it seems like.
Nah. We just hate fascists and their apologists.
Yeah,128 House Democrats apparently don’t agree with you. Bwahahahahahaha!

You hate yourself? Better go see a psychiatrist for that.
Before he was elected, Trump was asked if he held any grudges against his critics. He said “My revenge will be my success.” Promises made, promises kept. To the Al Greens and Chuck Schumers: take your hate somewhere else; the American people are tired of your lame excuses for doing nothing.
JJC,
“Promises made, promises kept.”
Yes!!!! And for it, I know why Democrats are so upset!
#. The Dems are the spirit of the PLO, HAMAS, AL QUEDA, HEZBOLLAH, SCREAMING CEASELESSLY— WE WILL NEVER REST UNTIL THE USA AND ISRAEL ARE REDUCED TO RUBBLE AND ASH. Obviously freedom fighters?
Striking how the real hearts of man are really just robbers and thieves. That is what Christ said when he described hell and advised – don’t bother to store up goods because you don’t realize who will steal it. Christ was an attempt to change your afterlife as he said my kingdom is not of this world.
It certainly isn’t. You know the reason moslem women are shrouded? Envy. They’ll tear your eyes out and others will steal the eyes from your head. If you cannot see the illness in Iran then there’s really nothing to be done about it.
Some Iranians would like a change of government. There could be an Iranian Civil War.
Have a beautiful day fixing something that’s broken.
@Anon
There is a decent probability that there will be a revolution.
However unlike the US where we have the 2nd Amendment, the Iranian people are not able to own firearms…
So the revolt will be difficult.
And if you follow history… the Bay of Pigs failed miserably and the US would not push for a regime change. Merely encourage it.
All it would take is more shortages and external economic pressure along Iran’s continued defiance in their quest for the bomb.
Of course China sees this and its an opportunity to extract more from Iran for their own advantage.

Would that not be awesome to see? Either one of them! They would spout their progressive policies and then suffer and huge, massive, land slide defeat as America rejects their progressive policies!
How marvelous!
Please Democrats! Continue to run on the stupid and crazy!!!!
We are seeing what the progressive stupid and crazy is getting them in the EU and Blue states here in America! No one wants that!
UpstateFarmer-watch what you hope for. Carter wanted to face Reagan because he was so “radical”. Turned out well for us but sometimes the people may not be totally tuned into our thoughts. As a pacer’s fan, the night looked great until Halliburton tore his Achilles.
Dear Prof Turley,
No use crying over spilt milk. .. Thomas Jefferson has been dead for two hundred years.
OMG, there have not been too many impeachments .. . but far too few.
Amongst the living, e.g., obviously Clinton, G.W. and Obama should all have been impeached. .. for clear violations of the War Powers Act if nothing else.
Of course, they impeached Trump the first time (see Ukraine) for the sins of Joe Biden. Sadly, as Special Counsel Hur pointed out, what good would it do to impeach ‘genocide’ Joe .. . he doesn’t know what day it is.
It is also far from clear whether the Apostle Trump’s Second Coming has established peace on earth or goodwill towards man. I doubt it. In the meantime, I would threaten to impeach him too, again, all week long and twice on Sunday. .. third time charm.
*special note. Massie and AOC could establish a bipartisan committee on it.
America is the oldest most [un]stable constitutional government in the world.
Jill and Joe went up the hill,
to fetch a pail of water.
Joe fell down and broke his crown,
Jill came tumbling after.
* the defense is wrong .. .
Dear Mr. Turley, this is the same old song and dance from the Democrats. Hateful groups like the Democrats never seem to learn the lesson: hating someone is not a great foundation from which to build on. Their media buddies keep the hatred of Mr. Trump going on their programs. However, this does not translate into good policy. AOC, Ms. Crockett, Sen. Schiff, and Sen. Warren are a collection of sirens yelling “Wolf” when there isn’t one to be afraid of.
#. For an absolute reality check, IMAGINE discussing a war, Generals, with Crockett, Mayra Lopez, Cortez, Tlaib, Omar, Hirono, Watters, Mace, Greene, Gyllebrand, lady in the cowboy hat, Luna and so many more. . . .. reclaiming my time…
They have a religion. The religion’s virtue isn’t to do good. It’s to do ill. They believe in it. They have faith in it. It binds them.
Quite amazing.
What is on the minds of the American people and therefore, Congress?
The Big Beautiful Bill
The Iran War
What is on the mind of the Democrats?
Destroying Trump.
What do the Democrats do to destroy Trump?
They target his legislation, his cease-fires, and now his very freedom. Prosecutors in Trump cases were supported by organizations backed by George Soros, per public campaign disclosures.
Who benefits?
Iran.
After Trump 45, Iran was broke. The Democrats made sure Iran would be flush again. What did Iran do?
It resumed building a nuclear bomb (or may already have one) and worked on delivery systems. It ramped up funding for Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
When we lost in Vietnam (a bad war), what were the media and the Democrats doing?
Undermining our effectiveness and any hope for a real peace — both before and after the war.
What was North Vietnam counting on to win the war?
The media and the Democrats.
What are the Iranians counting on today, as the cease-fire fractured this morning?
The media and the Democrats.
S. Meyer,
Dont forget, there is evidence that China wanted Biden to win. They even were making fake driver licenses, and Customs intercepted them, to use in fraudulent mail in voting.
China’s biggest allies are Democrats.
Thank you Upstate, but I limited myself intentionally to make my point. There is a China-Iran axis that needs to be considered when considering, why it is of utmost importance to us that Iran is defanged.
The Democrats are playing a dangerous and dirty game. The public should be outraged and are moving in that direction, though they should already be there.
So stupid. Your “democrats are evil, republicans are wonderful” is the argument of an imbecile.
The imbecile is you. Upstate didn’t say that, but based on what we are seeing Democrats are evil and Republicans are sometimes not as intelligent as they should be. You litter this blog with waste product from the bottle.
More blathering stupidity from you.
What stupidity? I didn’t use the pleural in bottle? I’ll correct the statement. “You litter this blog with waste product from the bottles.” Is that satisfactory?
Stupidity would be trying to assert that I or S. Meyer said, “democrats are evil, republicans are wonderful” initially as S. Meyer pointed out accurately. I merely noted that China wanted Biden to win and based of declassified intelligence have real evidence of exactly that. You then attempted to make a fake assertion. Later I then question what would you call a political party that aligns itself with a brutal communist party. How is that stupid?
Well, when your political party aligns itself with a brutal communist party, what else would you call them?
We agree, these damn dems.
“these damn dems”
“aligns itself with a brutal communist party”
Whatever one says about who and what the Dems are, it is obvious to me that there is a pattern. The Democrat Party of today fights for power even if that fight might lead to the destruction of good foreign and domestic policy. They hated Trump so much that they dismissed the Abraham Accords, condemned the strike on Soleimani, and now stay silent as Iran builds toward the bomb. They want the effort of pacifying the Middle East to fail because Trump had a hand in it.
This is not just opposition. It’s sabotage. The Party does not support American values or the survival of America as we know it.
Not exactly, they truly want the US destroyed because it has oppressed their magnificence. Revenge is raw.
I agree, it’s not that democrats are evil, it would take cognitive ability to comprehend evil…democrats are mere tools, hordes of less-than-functioning brain zombies totally ignorant of their own ignorance. That is not evil – that is a pathetic gaggle of human flotsam.
You’ll learn to work together or be left stewing in your own juices.
Here’s one for ya from the left and defining age of consent…
States are considering defining age of consent for intimate purposes as cross gender intimacy only. That results in pregnancy but same gender has no age limit.
Let that sink in.
Goodbye one and all! Auf vedersehn, chow, sayonara, adios, later gator
^^^ DID YOU GET THIS?
Destroy President Trump is a decoy . They live on theft and revenge.
When do the Dems get it?! If they don’t get serious about working to build a better country instead of being ‘verbal insurrectionists’ they will spin themselves into a whirlwind and take to the skies like hay in a dustbowl! They are as noisy as Prince Harry — when you have nothing to say, you create noise only to show your incompetency.
Dems should stop all this and do something for the nation. They should ask themselves, how did Iran have enough money to build nuclear? Perhaps they should go back and look at Obama and what he allowed by sending the Iranians billions which only spurred them towards world calamity. Then they should look at Biden and how he allowed potential sleeper cells into this nation with his immigration policies and used multi-billions of tax payer money to house, feed and scatter illegals throughout the nation. If the Dems don’t like Trump, get a real serious Dem to challenge the next election. Forget Gavin Newsom — a slick operator who has little interest in the country as we watch his ego lead instead of concern for CA. Dems – wake up, put hate aside and think real hard of how this country would be with people like Harris leading this nation. Now, that is a frightening picture! Imagine this person dealing with war? — Opps, she wants ‘joy’ — just what the world really needs now! Send flowers to Iran as they say, ‘Death to America’. Really, who on the left cares truly about the world 20 years from now? Certainly not AOC, Crocker … and the list goes on.
“wake up, put hate aside”…they can’t because Hate is food for them, they need it to sustain their ego and supposed self worth. It keeps them from having the need to offer real solutions to real world problems but it allows them to feed the beast of so called progressivism and complain ad nauseum. Oh, and it gives them lots and lots of clicks.

“. . . Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) who is struggling to maintain her call for impeachment.” (JT)
If it’s Monday, time for impeachment. Trump wearing trousers — impeachment. There’s gravity . . .
It only took the Villagers two lies to stop believing the boy who cried “wolf.”
Turls: your push piece op ed here is perhaps one of the least intelligent things ever written, and should remembered as such…
What AOC said absolutely holds up. Granted she may be losing the fact that impeachment has obviously become obsolete in holding rogue president’s to account in a democratic republic that.is failing.
Why this piece is so awful is due to the right wing mastubatory aspect that drives it. Trump has set the country up for armed conflicts with ICE agents within our borders. His bombing of Iran without even consulting Congress sets us up for the next 9/11. And the rush fascist apologists such as you feel is basically this decades ‘Mission Accomplished’ moment that you’ve completely forgotten about through your cognitive dissonance….
On top of that it shows your genuine smallness as a person, Turls, as you seek to attribute your political rhetoric and tactics to someone like AOC just because, as you make clear, you’re incapable of seeing the world through any other lens.
Quick reality check for you: Netanyahu needs Israel to be 0at war so the government doesn’t hold him accountable for his crimes. Trump needs to create crisis that he can then supposedly fix regardless of what factual reality says. These aren’t guys who truly want peace, not even a little bit.
Time will make this abundantly clear…, and you’ll ignore it. So at least we know that much.
LOL, Hey Ano
Get a life. Prez Trump s winning and you just hate it,
Poor baby
Always grateful for your magat sympathy, Dustball. Always hilarious when you think trump is winning.
Sophomoric garbage. Isn’t your highway underpass missing you?
Are you jealous because I kicked your ass and made you leave?
Nonsensical rantings of a total loser. Didn’t your disappointed parents tell you when you moved back to the basement that you were expected to at least mow the lawn. Get to it already, the grass isn’t getting any shorter.
Ohhh…, you ARE jealous!
(Looking out the window)
Nope, lawn still isn’t mowed.
Nah, you’re looking out the window because you’re trying to escape how far up in your head I am. I own you. I don’t check in here for week long stretches and when I come back I see you accusing people of being me. You’re so owned it’s hilarious.
Poor you … hateful emotions have no place in making decisions. I would like your assessment of Biden and the lies and hidden agendas of people like you who have closed your eyes to the damage he has done. Don’t like Trump — that is okay. But love your country more than personal gain.
Good thing I don’t GAF about what you want then, ayy?
You care enough to use your free hand to reply. Wipe up this time, your mom is tired of mopping up the basement floor after you finish.
Ha!! Not only can I tell you’re staggeringly ugly and the whores you pay laugh maniacally at your needle dick…, you make abundantly clear in an obvious way what your teenage traumas were on this blog every day.

Weapons grade projection. Your parents’ insurance plan has mental health coverage, you should look into it. Mow the lawn first.
Oh look at you trying to back out because you can’t hang with me.
George. Is your new name Anonymous?

“What AOC said absolutely holds up. Granted she may be losing the fact that impeachment has obviously become obsolete in holding rogue president’s to account in a democratic republic that.is failing.”
Do you mean like what Obama had done when he was POTUS as this article had acutely and accurately documented? By the standards that you had set forth, Obama was a rogue president who acted as such when he committed our military forces to combat ISIL in Syria, committed our forces to military combat Gaddafi’s air force in Libya, committed our special forces to eliminate Osama bin Laden, and the extrajudicial killings of two American citizens using our covert forces. If your claim of what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez does “absolutely holds up” then she should start impeachment proceedings against Obama for his actions during his presidency. But since she’s not, it just to show that she isn’t seriously about holding presidents accountable for their actions.
“Trump has set the country up for armed conflicts with ICE agents within our borders.”
Exactly how enforcing the law that Congress passed is tantamount to setting up the country for armed conflicts with ICE agents? The only group that’s setting up for armed conflicts with ICE agents are the ones who opposes them trying to carry out their job and catch those who are here illegally. People like this person.
“ICE Arrests Illegal Alien for Molotov Cocktail Attack on Law Enforcement Caught on Video” – Department of Homeland Security
“His bombing of Iran without even consulting Congress sets us up for the next 9/11.”
Actually Trump did informed Congress. He simply only informed the Republican side of Congress. And had done so prior to when the bombings had occurred. Which the War Powers Act of 1973 grants the President the ability to do so within 48 hours.
“Trump administration briefed top Republicans before Iran strikes, but not some Democrats” -CNN
If the Democrats don’t like it then they are free to amend War Powers Act of 1973 to inform all members of Congress regardless of their political affiliation and to do so publicly prior to engaging hostile forces or repeal the act in its entirety. But I wouldn’t hold my breath, waiting for them to do any of that. 🙂
Hilarious. Both Israel and Iran privately think Trump (and accurately so) is a weak POS former sleazy salesman-turned-reality TV host. Not just Israel and Iran. But China, Russia and about 250 other countries.
And they are all right. TACO.
Did you just wake up from your Saturday night bender?
Since there are only 195 countries on our Earth, thank you for confirming that you are posting from another reality. The rest of your screed makes more sense given that context.
Hilarious. Trump said he was making deals with over 200 counties back in April. But I guess you won’t be accusing him of living in another reality. That would upset your Trumporn fantasy.
So the king (haha) of exaggerations rounded up. Let’s see, 5/195 is about a whopping 3% difference. Better break out the Montreal assessment for that one, he’s obviously in total mental decline. You meanwhile were off by a whopping 28%. Did you discover a new continent that the cartographers missed? Is it near Atlantis? You’re not very good at this, and the lawn still needs mowing.
So, you agree Trump is a moron being played by Israel and Iran and everyone else. But you have a problem with the commenter’s math.
Care to diagram how you made that connection? Try not to use all of the crayons in the box this time.
*countries
And how many commenters and followers of Turley’s blog believe you are sleazily hilarious?
You count.
If they think that privately, how would you know anything?
From the Academy Securities Geopolitical Intelligence Group:
“The overall assessment was that this was a good move:
Helped re-establish deterrence and sent a strong message to all adversaries.
The assessment was that Iran had limited capacity/capability to strike back.
Iran would be under pressure internally and externally not to mess with the Strait of Hormuz.”
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-06-23/bloomberg-surveillance-6-23-2025-video
The Iranians told Trump they were going to stage a fake attack. And Trump being Trump, bought into it and help promote it. Someone’s going to lie about something and make into something it’s not? That’s Trump’s gift to the world. That’s who he is.
And the Iranians did stage a fake attack.
HAHAHAHA, this fool thinks he knows the opinions of the whole world. Yeah good luck with that
