Adam Schiff: It was a reckless move.





After seeing the intel, I don’t believe it supports conclusion that killing Soleimani will stop Iranian plotting or reduce risk to American lives.

Trump’s decision does, however, increase likelihood of war with Iran and threaten our gains against ISIS.

It was a reckless move.

Impeachment is weighing heavily on the MoFo and this was a try at making himself a hero.

Markets good? Cannot impeach...well, that did not work. So now he is trying for hero. IMO, no one buys his lies and bullshit anymore except for those who drank the MAGA KoolAid.

Also known as stupid and foolish.

The next guy could be worse than the dead guy. Did Dumbo and his pals even know or care who the next guy is likely to be? Or was this all just another typical Republican, short-term, instant gratification thing to glorify Dear Leader and boost MIC profits without regard for the repercussions?

"Wuts a repurcusin?" they asked.

And trump lied to assassinate a foreign general who he baited into position to be killed , and trump has lied about it, and knew it was not legal to do it , but did it anyway. Republicans enabling a war to be started will not win them elections, nor will it redirect attention away from impeachment of a criminal in the White House. This ploy is failing as more getting exposed their intent wasn't about any threat at all. Is trump setting us up to declare the elections will not take place because of his manufactured war?
