“We lose 60 to 70 seats” if Trump deploys ground troops, one House Republican said.

Then grow a spine and stand up to him? He’s literally a fat 80 year old man with rapidly worsening dementia, what’s the most he can do? chase you? his McDonald’s belly would maybe last 2 steps in a run before collapsing.

But it will turn out that the day slated for boots on the ground will be TACO Tuesday.

Instead of standing up to him, they’ll just be securing their career off ramp into do-nothing jobs in private industry that owes them favors.

I do not see how we do not deploy troops at this point. If we do not, they will keep the strait as a pressure point that can continuously be used to mess up the world.
Basically, Trump/Israel has got us involved in a situation was there is no good answer. There is a reason no other president “dealt” with Iran before.

“Republicans panicking” is the headline you see two days before “Republicans back Trump on….”
These are spineless cowards who will do whatever Trump tells them to do.
There is no real “Republican party”, there are just people who follow orders from Trump.

They are doing it wrong.
They should send ICE to Iran.
Arriving in Iran, ICE agents would deport all the Iranianisms and there would be nobody left in Iran to fight the USA liberators and block the Strait of Hormuz.
The ~~spice~~ oil would flow!
I mean, ICE is about 1/3 of the way there already: they are in the airports, — skulking around — past the security checks. Doing not much of anything at all. All they’ve got to do is board a plane.
ETA: It occurs to me: Had I posted this proposal on conservative social media, this initiative would would be implemented early tomorrow. And I might even be put in charge! Becasue, dammit!, I’m a gosh-darn genius.

*Some* republicans are panicking. Lindsey Graham on the other hand is walking around with a permanent hard on, mumbling to himself about Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal.

I don’t give a flying fuck about what they’re panicking over, when all the power to end this is in their hands.
Get fucked with your crocodile tears, fascists.

If anyone doubts the foolhardiness of ‘boots on the ground’ in Iran, take a look at a contour map of Iran, especially the area overlooking the Strait of Hormuz. We could destroy that terrain with a couple of nukes, but anyone walking into it will be walking into a meat grinder.

They are not panicking. The fascist party could at anytime rein him in, but they chose not to. They’re complicit. Any “outrage” is theater, plain and simple.

Trump has the same respect for the military as Putin. He will send them to their death with no remorse.

Remember folks. They’re only panicking because they are scared of getting wiped out during midterms, not because they care about you or your family.

Amazing a Trump has made the biggest strategic error in US history. He has put Iran in a better position than before, China, Russia profit.
Now he thinks it’s a good idea to make it worse by putting boots on the ground showing he has no clue what he is doing,
He is however ranking in billions for himself somehow?

They had, and still have, the opportunity to remove those troops or him, by invoking the checks and balances they refuse to acknowledge.
If they wont do their job then they can shut the fuck up already

OrneryLetterhead8609 on
I do not understand why House Republicans are concerned about Trump sending ground troops when they sat there and allow the man to enter into a war without their approval. Congressional approval for war should’ve happened before any soldiers went to Iran to do anything.
llahlahkje on
There is a zero percent chance they allow free and fair elections in the midterms.
They will get absolutely destroyed.
Yet they continue moving forward with their plans.
That means they don’t plan on suffering the consequences of their actions.
They can’t get away with suspending them so they will absolutely and completely ratfuck the results.
Again.
