I am not unaware of that but I’m hoping for another attempt at a ridiculous counter-explanation that is easily contradicted by the facts. It is important to keep putting old and new lies vs facts in front of the American public to combat their short-attention span and long practice in taking refuge in fantasies when faced with inconvenient or unwelcome truths.

Well, based on history, rickA will lie. I’m guessing the others will too.

“Unredacted emails show OMB officials knowingly engaged in conspiracy to hide illegal action by Trump” — Mark Sumner Daily Kos Staff 2020/01/02 • 12:14 269

Here’s the first paragraph:

“Unredacted versions of White House memos, obtained by the website Just Security, confirm that the decision to withhold U.S. military assistance from Ukraine came straight from Donald Trump. Those memos show rapidly escalating concern from officials at both the White House and the Pentagon who saw that Trump’s actions in delaying the release of the aide were both illegal and likely to generate a political firestorm. And they demonstrate that by the time Trump called the Ukrainian president, officials at the Office of Management and Budget were actively engaged in disguising the truth and conspiring to deceive both Congress and the public.”

Now what will the Trump apologists say about that?

And, of course, there is his tweeted threat of committing war crimes by saying

“We have … targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture

You’d hope that that is the usual Trumpian bullshit that will never get followed through on, or that the military would say “No” if he wanted to do it, but these are the same assholes who killed Soleimani on (what are now known to be ) bogus reasons, so…

There are reports that the Department of Homeland Security issued a national order to CBP to report and detain anyone with Iranian heritage entering the country who is deemed potentially suspicious or “adversarial”, regardless of citizenship status — which means, in essence, given the current atmosphere are those agencies, anyone with any indication of Iranian heritage.

No, this administration is perfectly fine. They just happen to worship nazis and their tactics.

Pompeo: “People not only in Iraq, but in Iran, will view the American action last night as giving them freedom.”

Apparently the standard bullcrap line “they’ll view us as liberators” was considered too risky.

The Mafiya pwned Teh Donald via his failing casinos decades ago. Then once they owned the wretched little man, they laundered their dirty money through Trump’s Florida real estate business and eventually handed the Donald control box to Putin when he asked for it. Because Russia is a gangster state and that’s how it works. This stuff isn’t even a secret, so why it is taking so long for the truth to emerge is actually mystifying to an outside observer (eg. me in the UK).

Add the fact that the bastard just okayed an assassination to take attention away from the need about his crimes. His action just raised the danger level for sailors and troops around the world — and the risk of cyber attacks.

Can you imagine what the scum on the right would be saying if a democratic president had wagged the dog like this
