Not necessarily, I voted for a Republican in the last California gubernatorial race...

Do You Think Republicans Believe it?

I think Betelgeuse is contracting for one reason and one reason only: to get away from Trump!

The star Betelgeuse in the constellation of Orion may go supernova, be visible in daylight, and singe our ozone layer:

Well they found out differently and in a BIG way.  So long to the murderous Iranian Dirtbag General.

Go USA!
All true, glad he's history. But, Bush could have done it in '06 but didn't, most likely because of Iranian reprisals. Iran will respond at a time and place of their choosing and we will likely get hit and hit hard...

It would be nice if we had an administration that didn't lie at every turn and who we could trust when they say the killing took place to disrupt an imminent threat. Unfortunately, that is not the case, and it's not evident that killing Soleimani, no matter how much he deserved it, was the best way to interrupt a plot. So much for getting out of endless wars. Wasn't that the justification used for abandoning our Kurdish allies in Northern Syria? This administration seems to operate its foreign policy on little more than impulse and whim.
Trump then and now....

And to think I'm old enough to remember when Republicans said we couldn't trust Hillary with our national security because of Benghazi.
Fox's Tucker Carlson sees it the same way:

CNN exclusive with the commanding Iranian general: their response will be specific to US military targets and "decisive":

I was thinking they might try firing missiles at our ships operating near the Persian gulf but with these fanatical mothers, you never know...

Not when it is their asses on the line.  wink
And you best believe those other fanatical freaks in North Korea are taking notice, too. 
I think it's a foregone conclusion Iran will attempt to retaliate. They're going to try and Trump, if you can believe him and in this case I think you can, says it's not a matter of if but when and where...

Darin, That's a bunch of crap, on par with the preacher-congressman who said Democrats love terrorists but eventually apologized for it. You ought to do the same. As far as the terrorist Iranian general is concerned, I'm glad he was droned to death and nobody but his fellow terrorists are shedding a tear for him. What we do know now is that four embassies weren't informed of the "imminent threat" and Trump reportedly made the decision to take the guy out 7 months ago--ok, fine but don't lie about it now. At this point, the rationale has shifted from an "imminent threat" to one of "deterrence". That is a reasonable explanation but don't cook up a story and tell us to enjoy eating it...
