Over the last two days, Democrats have been running to anyone who will put a microphone in front of them that Trump needs to be impeached.
While they sat on their hands when Obama dropped tens of thousands of bombs in military strikes, the fact that Trump took out Iran’s nuclear facilities has triggered them.
There is now one voice of reason within the party, and it is coming from, if you can believe it, a former Hillary Clinton adviser.
Barack Obama greenlit a strike that took out a wedding party, and nary a word was said from Democrats, but now they are losing their minds after Trump made the world a safer place.
After the strike took place, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) stated, “President Trump misled the country about his intentions, failed to seek congressional authorization for the use of military force and risks American entanglement in a potentially disastrous war in the Middle East.”
There must be something in the water in New York, as Rep. Ocasio-Cortez D-N.Y.) added, “He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations,” further stating that she believed this would serve as an action that was impeachable.
Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) also went on tilt, stating, “I’m, as a member of Congress, disturbed that this was undertaken without congressional approval. There’s not much ambiguity in the in the Constitution about who gets to approve these things.”
While it may not seem like it by the Democrat response, this was not an act of war against Trump, but rather a strategic strike to take out the development of a nuclear weapon by Iran.
The concern by many is that Russia, an ally of Iran, will be upset and help Iran strike back, but that is unlikely, as Russia wants to see Iran have a nuclear weapon about as much as the United States does.
There is some white noise out there by a former Russian president, but he does not actually speak for the current regime in Russia.
To this point. Russia has shown no inclination to help Iran carry out a retaliatory strike, leaving Iran with virtually no allies in support if it were to try to make a move against the United States.
While I fully expect Iran to conduct some sort of retaliatory strike, I don’t think it will be anything close to what Democrats are portraying this, as they seem to be hoping that Iran will activate a terror cell or declare war against the United States. My guess is that Iran will carry out a strike against a base holding US troops in the Middle East to try to save face, then call it a day.
A voice of reason against the outbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) has been former Democratic Party advisor Dan Turrentine, who stated, “It was too depressing to write this last night, after we got off air, so I went to bed. But, it needs to be said by more Democrats: this was not an impeachable offense, and Trump did not need congressional approval for one precision attack under the circumstances, just as Obama did not when striking Bin Laden.”
He continued, “Why can’t our Party just say it’s great we achieved the objective and destroyed Iran’s nuclear sites, god bless the soldiers who carried this out and made it home safely, god bless our country, military, allies, and we look forward to a full intel briefing.”
Turrentine concluded, “But, for so many in my Party to knee jerk with unhinged calls for impeachment - and sadly omit in their statement support for Iran not having nuclear weapons, which has been a principle of our Party for 40 years -is truly TDS.”
He’s right in everything he said. For all the partisanship we have seen over the last two decades, the GOP always rallied behind Obama in moments like this to show our enemies unity. Democrats go the opposite route, choosing to create more turmoil and chaos, as well as giving our enemies outright sympathy. If you want to see something entertaining, just check out the thread where he made that post, as it is yet more proof of the TDS that is going on with the left right now. They are unhinged, and sadly, it gets worse with every passing day.
