    While you’re not wrong, in general, I personally think this might be an excuse for us not to bomb the place. Trump has got himself caught in a civil war between his own cult members, and he hates not being at the center of attention and obeyed unconditionally. This might be a way to placate both sides. He can tell the pro-war side that he can’t use a weapon that’ll do the job, and he can tell the no-war side that he’s not gonna nuke it.

    That way the Orange Jackass can wrench the conversation back to about how “he’s more peaceful than anyone’s ever seen before” or whatever bullshit he decides to vomit up.

      Tucker is only against this because he’s been paid by Putin right?

      I assumed most of the Magats that are against the bombing Iran are paid shills. What’s Tim Pool’s take on it? (Disclaimer, I actually couldn’t give two shits what any of them think, we should be negotiating and solve this like fucking adults).

      You’re giving him waaay too much credit.
      All he does is rant and complain, while doing what the Heritage Foundation people tell him to sign.

      It isn’t anything more complicated than that.

        This. His fan base thinks he’s playing 5D chess, while the liberals think he’s playing chess, but in reality he’s being allowed by his babysitters to throw checker pieces everywhere to divert attention.

        He’s a psychopathic narcissist. He thinks he always needs to be at the center of attention. Wouldn’t call that complicated.
