Tulsi Gabbard now says Iran could produce nuclear weapon 'within weeks'

This comes after US President Donald Trump said she was "wrong" for saying Iran was not building nuclear weapons.

Isn't she the one that's supposed to brief the president not the other way around?

She's a despicable person as are most associated with Trump. Once you kiss the ring your job is to parrot trumps line even if you said the opposite the weeks before

I wonder how anyone who supports Trump thinks having this inconsistency and disconnect between what Trump and the intelligence services say it's ok...

Remember he previously said he'd listen to what Putin said over his own intelligence agencies last time he was in office.

Well isn't this Schrodingers war mongerer...

Who is right, US intelligence, or Trump and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)?

Im all for this, fair play to them. Why won't they formally opposed the raids though? LAFC, Angel City FC have, why do the Dodgers stay neutral?

Silence isn't an option, its a choice.

But no one knows more about anything and everything than him.

So her position really is completely superfluous

So trump gets confused between days and weeks. Maybe the buffoon counts in sleeps like my 4 year old and thought it was all generic.

The president that would start no new wars just bombed eye-ran.

Without any congressional approval.

Talks of Democrat issuing articles of impeachment (again). Its not like Trump has whopping majority. So here we go again.

I don't think you need congressional approval unless you're declaring all out war. Think you can get away with letting congress know after the fact if it's just a single operation kind of thing.

Agree with the general thrust of your post, though.

Don't think any of the republican isolationists would cross over but you never know.

Worth them throwing it out there I guess.

Is it?

Fuzziest of fuzzy lines!

Even then - would it not have to go to at least the senate oversight committee?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Does impeachment even matter anymore?
Kinda lost its aura when they did it twice before and nothing happened

Without a credible chance of conviction, it means nothing

Trump is calling for a special counsel to be appointed to investigate the 2020 election and show mass fraud... Not 2024, 2020. He's also instructed them to find a pre-set outcome (fraud). Given his Attorney General simply does his bidding without question, this is pretty worrying. There are zero guarantees this will be impartial. This also ignores the fact that a special counsel WAS appointed to oversee the 2020 election, it was Jack Smith and he uncovered mass criminal activity by TRUMP, not Democrats. That investigation was then obstructed like crazy, slow walked by an over-cautious DoJ and then shut down by the Trump administration, despite obtaining overwhelming evidence.

These are not just words and anyone who thinks Trump is merely "saying things" needs to get their head out of their arse. If you cannot see the future consequences of Trump declaring elections are fraudulent and his political rivals are instigating it, then there is no hope for you.

No you don't you know its wrong lol.
Presidents have struck foreign nations continuously, there's a huge difference between a tactical strike and declaring war. Im not 100% sure but I think Congress needs 48 hour notice in the case of troops movement or 30 to 60 day military action. Im too half asleep in my hammock to go research the exact details.

Ok, so, in the scenario that an independent organisation investigates, and it is found, without a shadow of a doubt that 2020 was considered rigged on behalf of Biden, would tou acknowledge it?

Anti-Trump "No More War" protests today: What we know

There are protests planned in multiple states by multiple groups for Sunday following the U.S. strike on Iran nuclear facilities.

www.newsweek.com

The 'No more war' protest is underway, right after the 'No Kings' protest, the ICE protests, the 'Hands off' protest, Palestine protests, Ukraine protests, and the people's March...

At what point do we look at these well funded well organised events and just call them what they are, the Democrats 'we didnt win so we will incite violence by any means necesary' events?!

Im all for protest, even civil disobedience, but at what point does the same group of people, who find any excuse to loot and riot get called out for what they are?!

Im all million miles from a Republican, but the trends are overwhelmingly suspicious!

I suspect that 'No Kings' and 'No more war' is a tad less inflammatory than "Fight fight fight" and "Fight like hell"
