Obama also gave stand down order around summer of 2016 instead of countering Russian hackers probing and messing with election infrastructure.
Obama called McConnell and Ryan to the White House to issue a bipartisan memo informing the nation of Russia's interference because he didn't want to give the appearance he was trying to influence the election.
McConnell and Ryan refused to sign it.

There are typically far more issues at play when people simplify stuff like this. Like hiding some cause in a bill then using it as a rally cry when the other side refuses to sign.

So your stance is that killing tens or hundreds of millions of people will end the violence once and for all? fricking genius, man
worked on the Japanese in WWII. After we obliterated them, the survivors didn't cause any more trouble did they? Just became a peaceful, prosperous country.
Granted, we rebuilt them. But the initial effect of our actions certainly made them peace loving, no?

I don't think you guys realize how sophisticated Iran's army is and their allies. This isn't Saddam and Iraq.
Not to mention trump has alienated our own allies the past few years. Who's going to side with us with in a war with Iran? We can't go it alone. If you think we can you're an idiot and overestimate our abilities and underestimate Iran's.

You’re a fricking idiot.

CNN just can't help themselves.
Their recent instragram post showing a rally in Tehran was captioned with:
No mention of him being a war criminal and terrorist that has killed hundreds of Americans and orchestrated the attack on our embassy that resulted in yet another American death. Instead, they focus on children crying and mourning over the loss of their national hero.
fricking absurd.

quote:
Thousands of people rallied in Tehran following a US airstrike that killed Qasem Soleimani, a top general and one of the most powerful men in Iran. Men, women, and children carried images of the slain commander, many crying and others shaking fists, shouting "Death to America" and "Revenge, revenge, revenge." Three days of national mourning has been declared in Iran, where Soleimani was revered as a national hero, and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed "harsh revenge," according to a statement published on his official website.

Can you point me to another incident where the White House ordered a military strike against a military leader of a country we haven't declared war on?
You mean the military leader responsible for the deaths of hundreds of citizens of another country that his country hadn’t declared war on?
You fricking dumbass.

What if I told you Soleimani had some decade-old off-color tweets?

I also heard he deliberately misgendered someone and refused to use their personal pronouns.

How did that work out for President Bush in 1992? How many totally unrelated bills were sent by the majority Democrat Congress with riders and amendments containing new taxes? Eventually he had to sign one, and the Democrats had their Pyrrhic victory and campaign tool.

Reports coming in that the US just killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimaniquote:Psycho? You bet, but how we didn’t learn our regime change lesson over there still floors me. The guy saw exactly what was going on in relation to his country on the global scale. One of the few Arab nations that viewed women as equal. He was a nut job militant terrorist... Who also happened to be a genius and realized too late in life moderation was the key.
Where I agree with everything you've said being factually accurate, I do question his motives for doing so toward the end being less altruistic more self preserving. I need a dollar, dollar, dollar is what I need. Hey hey..
