@EndTribalism Actually Saagar he was cut out of the loop months ago as he was suspected of leaking sensitive information. So he was not privy to information concerning this matter.

“They are gonna try and destroy this man.” Saagar Enjeti says Republicans will come after Joe Kent for resigning and saying Israel got the U.S. into war with Iran for nothing. “This is the National Director of Counterterrorism, highest security clearance in the entire United States government.” “I guarantee you they will try to indict him.” “They’re gonna say he breached his security clearance by sharing information, that he was never a real patriot, that he’s a snake, that he’s an anti-Semite.” “The full stop of the pro-war machine and the US government are going to try and destroy this man.” “Just watch and wait.” “This should be wall-to-wall news.” “We never even really had high-profile resignations like this under Iraq.” “And I mean, I think the fact that you have a high-level security official with the top security clearance saying this is Israel’s war, that they manipulated the intelligence… you have to ask seriously about all of the lies that have been told by this White House.” “And I think second, what did he know to have to resign at this point?” “He knew no end in sight.” “And that’s why he decided to do it now.” @esaagar @joekent16jan19

🚨 HOLY CRAP! A reporter just WENT THERE with Leader John Thune Q: "Why is the filibuster more important than stopping illegal aliens from voting?" THUNE: "Many of the things Democrats want to do — they tried to nuke the filibuster — are things we don't want our fingerprints on. DC or Puerto Rico as states, expanding the Supreme Court, nationalizing elections." "Throughout history, it's protected conservative priorities and principles a lot more often than it's protected Democrats."

Geography favors Iran in any war to open Hormuz. The shipping lanes are so narrow tankers and Naval escorts are sitting ducks. Perfect for Iran’s drones and mines. Trump is caught in the Escalation Trap — doubling down only makes things worse

I pay almost no attention to Tucker these days, but claiming that “foreign troops get to rape your wife and daughter” while referring to AMERICAN troops may be the most asinine and disgusting thing I’ve ever heard. What the hell is wrong with you?

@RepThomasMassie @jeffreytucker Having a nuclear armed Iran that threatens the US and is much harder to control is definitely not America First. You’ve lost the plot and need to go. Get your head out of your ass. You were better than this.

The price of gas has gone up $0.47 and the price of diesel has gone up $0.83 in 10 days due to War with Iran. and waging war costs American taxpayers about $1 billion per day, which comes out to $10 per family per day, or $100 since the war began. This isn’t America First.

President Trump is asked who bombed a girls elementary school in Iran. Trump: "Based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran." Reporter: "Is that true Mr. Hegseth?" Hegseth: "We’re investigating." Trump: "It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions."

@MaximuSure @cenkuygur And most of those deaths and injuries were caused by Iranian IEDs. We have a long memory. It’s not going to end well for this Iranian regime.

Those cheering on ground troops into Iran have a very short memory of Afghanistan... - 6,500 American personnel killed. - 20,000 back with life changing injuries. - 30,000 committed suicide. * Iran is 2.5 times the size of Afghanistan. * Has twice the number of people. * Iran is 16th and Afghanistan 121st in Global Firepower Ranking. After 20 years you replaced the Taliban with the Taliban and you think you can change the regime in Iran!

Trump thinking he's going to pick the next leader of Iran is utterly delusional. Yes, if they were totally defeated with ground troops. But under these circumstances, if our president really believes Iranian regime will listen to him, he's detached from reality. That's dangerous.

@barnes_law Dude, You’ve lost the script. Can’t believe all these folks like you Megyn, Tucker, even Matt Walsh, are burning the credibility they’ve amassed over the years. I won’t even mention Candace, who is in my opinion truly certifiably nuts.

.@megynkelly: "No one should have to die for a foreign country. I don't think those service members died for the United States. I think they died for Iran or for Israel... No one is crying that the Ayatollah is dead, but our government's job is not to look out for Iran or Israel. It's to look out for us."

The likely new Supreme Leader of Iran when they vote in 40 days or so will be a man who just saw Israel & the US murder his father, his mother, his wife, and his 1 year old daughter. Really think he's going to love the US?

As a comic you’re not funny. As a political commentator you’re just plain stupid. And my father taught me to never to call anyone stupid. This should have happened 25 years ago. This vile regime (directly responsible for most of the world’s terror) that just butchered tens of thousands of its own people and that is responsible for the death and mutilation of thousands of American soldiers needs to go. Period. And you need to go into a corner and debate yourself (a debate you probably won’t win).

By launching this illegal war of aggression against Iran, Donald Trump has betrayed the American people and his own base, none of whom wanted this. He has sided with Lindsay Graham, Mark Levin and Benjamin Netanyahu, the most despised laughingstocks on the planet. By announcing that this is indeed a regime change war (as anyone paying attention and being honest has known all along) he has tied his entire legacy to this action. If he isn’t able to achieve a regime change, he will have killed a bunch of people for no reason. If the regime does fall, we have already admitted that we have no one to install and without boots on the ground, it is difficult to install a regime even if you had someone. Trump will be responsible for what comes next- the thing war hawks never consider.

Bill Maher: “Elections have consequences… Trump ended governments’ legal authority to regulate basically what causes pollution… This is like the Navy can’t use ships... I’m not surprised. I’m angry.” Stephanie Ruhle: “A huge win for oil, gas, and big coal. Promises kept he could say.”

@NRO Actually, since he was not carrying his permit or ID he was not within his rights to be carrying that pistol concealed. No different than if you are driving your car without a license in your possession. You are breaking the law.

Wages are up and inflation is down you dope. And if you want “prices to come down”. Except for interest rates and mortgage rates you would need “deflation”. Which would mean our economy is totally in the toilet. So just stfu. This economy is about to take off. Which is why the libs are trying to. Ow ale this all about immigration overreach. Which is also going to backfire.

Are prices down? Are wages up? Of course, not. Then, what are we doing here? How has Trump team helped you in your daily life? There's a lot of bombings of other countries, Americans fighting one another in the streets and same endless funding of other countries and corporations.

@marcthiessen Because after watching the video, people saw that they shot him only after disarming him? Because he was directing traffic until the agents shoved a woman to the ground and he went over to assist? Because he never drew the weapon and it’s not illegal to legally carry a gun?

A man shows up to interrupt an ICE operation armed with a gun and two ammo clips and gets into a confrontation with ICE agents, resists arrest. Why is the presumption that the ICE agents are in the wrong?
