Unfortunately under the FSoA system it's the only legal method available.  If we had a Parliamentary system, a no-confidence vote for the goobermint could force a new election, but 1st off we don't run that system and 2nd it only works with multiple parties and we only have two viable ones.

Monarchies and Dictatorships are even worse, there your only options are assassinations or Coup d'Etats, which aren't legal unless successful.  If unsuccessful, those trying to eliminate the offending tyrant risk death or imprisonment so they gotta be pretty sure they'll succeed.  That's why so many senators stuck their knives into Caesar.

Given this reality, what would you suggest to remedy the situation?  You have an alternative I haven't thought of?

15,000 targets struck in Iran, Hegseth says

Lebanon is near a “breaking point”; U.S. temporarily lifts Russian oil sanctions




You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment. 


The pen strokes and utterances of a leader have consequences.  There are human heartbeats on the other end of them.  Were there to be  a higher judgment then every life lost by a line item is a life to be answered for.  Regardless of justification.  If there is a judgement, Trump is a crispy critter.

Trump may be unable to end the war he started with Iran, even if he wanted to

Amman  —   A war that is “won” but also “not finished yet.” An “excursion” that requires Iran’s “unconditional surrender.” President Donald Trump’s rhetorical knots fit well with his style of dictating America’s information diet, but fall flat when they hit the gritty reality of conflict.  The “win” in war is not as it is in sports: a score does not declare the victor after a previously agreed duration. The bravado and gamer-style videos of the US government as it pursues its assault on Iran belie the extraordinary seriousness of an intractable moment: how far do the Americans have to go, not to just declare “we won,” as Trump did Wednesday in Kentucky, but to make Iran behave as if it has suffered a defeat?


If "winning" the war means we'll have more regular terrorist attacks, less safe shipping & air travel and higher oil & food prices, Trumpoolini's Operation Epic Fail war can definitely be counted as a raging success.  Sadly, noone besides the Mad King himself would use those metrics.

As always, Trumpsky's narrative has little connection to reality, he  merely thinks whatever he says and wants to be true is the truth, and in his own mind once he has said it, it becomes the truth.  In everyone else's mind however, it becomes quite difficult to accept as the truth when bombs continue  exploding and people continue dying after the victory.

The reality is this war has always been even more impossible to "win" than Afghanistan or Vietnam was.  Anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of history and geopolitics knows this, but that's irrelevant when you have an ideologically driven moron backed by a loyal following of even stupider MAGAotts running the show.  Terminating his Presidency ASAP at the earliest opportunity is the only chance we have of avoiding WWIII.

Iran threatens to destroy U.S. energy infrastructure in Middle East

The Iranian military’s warning comes after Donald Trump’s threatening statements following an attack on the island of Kharg.

Iran launches new wave of missiles against Israel in cooperation with Hezbollah

The IRGC claimed that the 48th wave of rockets was carried out against Israeli targets in Galilee, the Golan highlands and the city of Haifa.


There should be a translate button on your address bar next to the bookmarks star for these articles.

40 years after 1984, George Orwell's Newspeak is in full bloom: Truth is Lies & War is Peace.

Does Pinochio Trump even know what the truth is?  Probably not, I doubt he reads the classified daily updates even if his staff drops them on his desk.  At 2AM when he  drops a Tweet down on Social Media, it's not coming from any report or meeting.  It's just what wants to be true as he squeezes another Turd out his fat ass and into the toilet to match the shit coming off his keyboard and into cyberspace.  The rest of us are swimming in a world awash with Trumpian fecal matter.  It surrounds us all in a fetid, stinking shitpile from which there is no escape.

Replace every Republicrat with a Democan at mid-terms? That would certainly allow impeachment, but more importantly enough of a swing in the Senate to convict this time.

We could be zombies by then.  And there will be thousands, perhaps millions that will certainly be turning to dust.

QuoteThe question isn't whether Trump is clueless about the war in Iran, it's why

Clueless is as clueless does.  If Trump moves against the Kharg Island Iranian oil terminal, then all the terminals in the gulf will burn and nobody gets any oil.  For Iran it will be a smart move because there will be no occupying of Iran by American troops with the world in a global depression.

Oil companies did not start this war, but now that they have one they will raise prices.  And for them the law of gravity may not apply.  What goes up may not come down. 

Higher prices can stimulate oil business activities in Venezuela.  This is classic Trump.  When Trump fucks up he first blames other people and then repackages his defeat so that he can call it a win.  Failure rebranded.  Operation Epstein Fury mayhem solves many of Trump's troubles.  He can repackage himself.  No longer the convicted felon compulsive lying pedophile; Trump becomes the new Andrew Jackson.


Bringing with him a brand new trail of tears.

You sure about that?  Remember, right after Vz Trumpolini met with Oil CEOs and they told him they were not interested in developing it.  I could easily see one of them saying "It would be a different story of course if Iranian or Saudi Oil flow was interrupted by a war with Israel."  Then HRH Trump calls up Bibi on the hot line and suggests he deep six the Ayatollah.

You don't think that they would know all the port facilities on the south side of the gulf will go up in flames?  People with any brains have been able to figure out that hitting tankers is unnecessary if you hit Ras Tanura with a few missiles.  I can't believe I am the only one who has figured this out.  The oil execs would know the risks.  But you may have a point.  Trump's ears hear the words he wants to hear, and sometimes that does not match what was said.

RE

 

Yea, right.  The FSoA Navy won't go in there because it's too risky, & Trumpolini expects the Eurotrash to do it?  For a war he started and didn't so much as give them a heads-up on?  The same folks he has been dropping punitive tariffs on?

I'm getting a little tired of these military adventures being called "wars".  Wars are where people fight each other.  These things are just Bombing Campaigns.  Trumpolini wants to win a war with no casualties,  where only the other guys get killed.  Problem is, simply destroying property and killing mostly civilians doesn't win anything.  You have to actually take over the machinery of state and run the place, and that takes people.  No matter how long they bomb they can't win.  They'll flatten Tehran, but that just makes it harder for anyone to govern the country.  For the place to become a going concern again, the destroyed infrastructure will need to be rebuilt, and that will be even more expensive and time consuming than the bombing campaign.  It's ridiculous.

Pussy war?  An ethnic cleansing?  It is anything but an 'adventure', and I particularly loath 'Kinetic Response'.


A pussy started it, that is for fucking sure.
