Who cares? Dude was directly or indirectly responsible for lots of deaths and loathed 'murica, the world is better off without him. I hate trump as much as the next guy, but this is a net win for the U.S. - we killed Iran's #2 and they blew up a couple of storage sheds. On at least this, Trump gets a nod.

So, you too are calling our President a liar.

Noted.

Did you read the second sentence of the post???????
He must be able to justify his actions AFTER THE FACT.

His actions were justified by Bush, Obama and congress since both POTI classified the man as a terrorist and congress passed the AUMF.

Again I seriously doubt most Rs are going to be questioning too many Democrats for blowing up a terrorist.

This is about the one thing they typically arent partisan on.

The hypocrisy, as LG has only recently figured, is hopefully always fair game.

No, but they'd put the screws to him just for principal. Both sides do it whether they believe in it what they're saying or not, it's tribalism.

Between Iraq, Libya, and the baseless Russia-Trump conspiracy, Tonkin 2, being weaponized by presidents from FDR on down, etc. - haven't our intel agencies and FBI proven they can't be unquestionably trusted?

I mean, what the hell does it take, man?

After watching a movie with my wife the other night ... one of those catchy songs you you hate that gets stuck in your mind did just that:

I know you're working for the CIA
They wouldn't have you in the Mafi-A

The only good thing is that it made me think that the CIA should change it's name to the CYA ... it's so often what they do. And they really have a "yen" or "yearning" for intelligence ... of both kinds it seems. Personally I see the CYA as a normal to above intelligence bureaucracy that sells it's soul to provided the "right" answer to the person holding or most likely to hold their purse strings.

Don't start your crap. I have stated numerous times that the WPA and subsequent resolutions authorizing executive action need to be repealed.

But use it while you can, despite the fact that it's not actually legal. #ruleoflaw

That is probably the dumbest thing I think I've seen from you. Since I'm playing catch up, it will go to somebody else to scoop the cat box and your thoughts found there.

Wait, the day isn't over yet, and there is a 93.5% chance that luther will, no doubt, out dumb even this one. He keeps moving the dumb continuum upward.

Again you with the crap. I was refuting Luthers ignorance that the POTUS does not have the power to do what he did, WPA and AUMF gives him the power to do.

Do you want to argue that they do not give him the authority to do exactly what he did?

Civilian plane just shot down by Iran. 130 Canadians 30 Swedes.. this is gonna do it. It’s about to get wild

A convincing argument can certainly be made that this is at least partly Trump's fault. His unjustified and illegal attack caused a response by Iran, which led them to fire on the plane by accident. You can also also blame the civilian authorities for allowing a plane to take off as that situation remained uncertain. And of course the Iranians for firing it mistakenly. But morally and perhaps legally Trump bears some responsibility.

Why not blame Boeing? They made the plane. If they hadn't, it wouldn't have been shot down.

Your logic is very convoluted, to say the least.
