This is absolutely disgusting.
This bigoted garbage and antisemitism should be nowhere near our politics.
If you’re in TX-35, vote for @johnnygarciatx.
And the donors behind the Republican super PAC funding her should be exposed.
Trump says a "whole civilization of people" will "probably" die tonight. I don't even know how to characterize a post like this. 90+ million people in Iran under threat tonight. It's unspeakable.
GOP lawmakers deciding whether to use their authority to rein in a president threatening mass genocide and war crimes - and thus risk a potential primary challenge.
This is completely deranged rhetoric. If you heard this kind of ranting from a family member who possessed no power at all, you'd be worried about them. From the president, it's horrifying. This is obvious 25th Amendment territory, but people are so desensitized that they can't see it.
This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official.
It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this. Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept and normalize it.
If you don’t like a jobs report, fire the BLS commissioner. (That’ll show her successors!) Another day, sic the Justice Department on the Fed chairman — get a lapdog in his place. Where will it end, and when?
And if you're someone who celebrates this - who thinks Renee Good should have been shot, who thinks Powell should be prosecuted, who thinks Trump isn't bonkers - ask yourself what unhappiness and resentment led you to become a person your parents and kids will be ashamed of.
First thing I thought of when I heard this news today: Shooting the unarmed and helpless survivors of naval attacks is something we’ve seen before, and we prosecuted our enemies for doing it. And now we’re doing it.
This wasn’t even combat, but it would be prohibited even then.
Ryan Goodman, who is in fact an expert on the law of war, calls it a “textbook war crime” and notes precedent dating back to WWII for it being a war crime to kill survivors of a sunken boat.
In my opinion, the most underplayed, under-discussed issue in our politics is violence -- the threat of violence, and its effect on the decisions our politicians make. I have noticed this for ten years. (People have quit Congress over it.)
