So we just need to hope that someone (Fox News) can spin it in a way that Trump feels like he won without attacking back.
I trust the Ayatollah far more than I trust the shitbag in chief.
Brown allied lives don't count. Duh. Never mind the fact that these are the people that politely fought ISIS in the place of what could have been US ground troops.
There are no rational adults in this administration.
There are no rational adults in the entire Republican Party.
Bolton flew back so quickly when he heard about Trump ordering the assassination of Iran's #2.
Fox news reporrting that it was perhaps a deliberate miss. Zeldin and gaetz on, focusing on pelosi not caring about the troops and some other bs, but also stressing not to give solemani the war he wanted when he was alive. Ingraham saying the president has been real enough unlike obama. So I'm thinking they don't want trump to follow the bolton playbook after all.
There's conflicting reports now on whether any Iraqi's died or not.
That's huge if true. And honestly, a huge sigh of relief.
Honestly very appreciative of the restraint shown thus far.
When did Don Draper join the House of Representatives? This Congressman on MSNBC looks like Don.
If Trump takes the off-ramp, he might actually be able to walk-away with a victory. He would have been able to take out the #2 guy in Iran without incurring any US casualties. There's no damage to US infrastructure because those bases belonged to the Iraqis.
I'm glad there are no casualties for US soldiers or Iraqis but at the same time I'm annoyed that Trump somehow always seems to dodge serious consequences from his impulsive decisions. It just gives him license to make even more impulsive decisions and put us at greater risk.

Again, nothing in the last week is going to help his approval ratings. No one that dislikes him today is going to change their mind and think this is a victory for him. At best, everyone will just be happy we avoided disaster.
In all this today, I missed that Duncan Hunter submitted his resignation letter today (last day is Monday), and Hunter Biden IS the father in an Arkansas paternity suit. They gonna ask him about that too?
People will also be spooked that he almost got us into a war.
"All is Well!" he exclaims to a nation traumatized by decades of illegal wars that have killed hundreds of thousands.
More like it was telegraphed and probably designed to avoid escalation.
This would be a lovely time for Trump to just claim this is nice and settled, but... I don't know. Iran is probably going to keep slowly screwing with the US via proxies or other methods of inconvenience and he's a risk to snap on no notice.
Honestly, when even the_donald (yes I browse that putrid subreddit from time time time, gods help me) is responding in their own bullshit way with a sigh of relief, you know he fucked up.
It is only because not everyone is as crazy as him. It could make him make a even more rash action later on. We'll what and see what the hawks do with Trump.
He's not dodging shit regardless how this event proceeds from here.
"I just barely avoided igniting a war while opening up the Pandora's Box of drone assassinations of high ranking military officials on sovereign foreign soil" is in no way a victory for him.
Because Twitter doesn't want to offend white supremacists because social media was a mistake.
I'm not necessarily talking about his approval rating, at least not directly.
The reason Trump is able to continue to do bad shit is because conservative has been able to construct an elaborate light show where Trump always makes the right decisions and anything bad that does happen is always the fault of someone else (Obama, Deep State, Media, etc). This continues to empower Trump to make even more bad decisions. His actions are never tempered by previous screw-ups.
But war has a way of exposing light shows and trickery. That's what ultimately was the downfall of G W. Bush. The consequences of bad decisions caught up to Bush and you can only sweep dead soldiers under the rug for so long.
My fear is that Trump has just made a very dangerous and impulsive military decision with the assassination and it doesn't seem he'll "feel" any real consequences so the light show will continue and he'll make even worse decisions if that's possible.
No one has faith in him not to fuck up everything.
Iran dont want a real BOOMBOOM war.
Russia doesn't want their puppets really fighting.
No American ally wants this idiocy causing incredible destabilization.
And none of his handlers and henchment want him to be tested deep down.
Us regular folk know in our hearts he'll #ETTD the fuck out of everything.
I'ts the open secret here.
He's a supremecist for hire.
The US fucked with Iran for many many years before Trump got into office.
Almost glad she's going with Castro over Beto just so he can escape the ensuing cringefest
Yeah, I like Warren a lot. But I really don't understand this play.
If you want some good in the world, my husband rescued a cat from work a week or so ago. He'd rescued the cat we are 90% sure is her mom last month. (My husband named the momma Dolly and the daughter Loretta.) Turns out Loretta was pregnant. We just welcomed 3 healthy kittens into the family.
I'm an emotional wreck. You'd think after 6 kids I could deal with this shit.

Ah, okay, I checked some news sites, and didn't see anything, but thought it might've gotten swallowed in the air strike news.
