Fun fact #1: threatening war crimes is itself a war crime
Fun fact #2: the GOP cowards and sycophants on Capitol Hill aren't lifting a finger to impeach the war criminal.

Does that make them accomplices?
I reckon it does.
I hope the traitors get their day in court after they lose control of the House and Senate.

Not-so-fun fact: Crimes are only crimes if the law is enforced.

Drunk driving is illegal where I live (as it is in most places).

My local bar stopped replacing the fence around their parking lot after the 6th time a drunk driver drove straight through it. None of those drivers were arrested. Drunk driving is de facto legal in my town.

If corruption is powerful enough, it’s not corruption at all-it’s law. Unspoken, unwritten, but law.

Not just the GOP, the DNC isn't even trying to do anything about this and the DNC leadership has flat out said that they won't even if they win.

You can't be at war with a country that doesn't exist anymore.

Impossible. Just a few days ago he told Congress the war was done to avoid reporting to them. And Trump would NEVER lie.

Yes, yes, threaten total annihilation of the people of Iran while you tempt their aggressive regime to negotiate trade details with you. That's a winning tactic. What's the opposite of good faith negotiations?
