And the House isn’t set to vote on the War Powers Bill until Wednesday/Thursday at the earliest. Then it has to get through the Senate, and then Trump has to sign it…. Any chance this gets veto proof majority?

I get tired of American voters being pure innocents who can never be judged for their shitty, shitty choices.

It’s wrong to vaporize school children even if Congress votes to approve it.

Kevin, I don’t know why you can’t just celebrate that Khamenei is dead and his likely replacement is an IRGC hardliner even more extreme than before.

(Yes, sarcasm)

The CENTCOM statement lists other minor injuries due to shrapnel and concussions, and I just want to point out that concussions(TBI’s) aren’t minor injuries.

Right. And Anderson Cooper really left 60 Minutes just because he wanted more family time.

I dunno, I think assassinating a Head of State is a declaration of war, even if you don’t flat out say β€œwe’re at war.”

At least we don’t have to wait 2 weeks for the plan I guess.

The death of Ali Khamenei is a defining moment in Iran's history.

What comes next is uncertain. But there is now an open path to a different Iran, one that its people may have greater freedom to shape.
I'm in contact with partners, including those in the region that bear the brunt of Iran's military actions, to find practical steps for de-escalation.

With all due respect - seeing this as path to a β€œdifferent Iran” is lacking education on the role of IRGC in Iran and the fact that the entire system depends on it. Removing supreme leader doesn’t cause this kind of systemic collapse as much one would wish it would.

Well, according to reporting, the CIA assessed that whomever replaced Khamenei would be an even more extreme IRGC replacement.

Regime change is more than assassinating leaders.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Thankfully, we can be confident the President of the United States does indeed remember that the world has seen nukes before, so he can’t mean that

Not to nitpick here, but assassinating the head of State is a declaration of war, so how could a response from Iran be β€˜terrorism’? Wouldn’t it be a war crime?

I’ll always be on the β€œthe guns are the problem” side of the gun argument, but there are strong indications that the U.S. is in fact full of psychopaths
