GOP gets INSTANT KARMA over Trump’s DISASTER WAR!!

Republican leaders are panicking as a. shock poll has just been released by. Ipsos Reuters showing that only 25 to. 27%. of Americans or so actually support this. unlawful war against Iran. And right now. the top Google searches in the United. States are war authorization, Donald. Trump's approval, did Donald Trump get. approval of Congress in addition by the.

way to Epstein. And so now Donald Trump. has sent out his mega sycophants and. stooges to tell the American people that. we are not at war. There is no war. taking place. What's occurring is just. strategic strikes, not war. Now Donald. Trump previously said we're at war. I. mean in one of those bizarre and. deranged videos he did at Mar-a-Lago. since he couldn't bother to go to. Washington, D.C. when doing this.

unlawful war, he said, "Yeah, it it it. is a war." Uh others in the Trump. regimes have referred to it we we're in. a war right now and stop freaking. gaslighting us by saying that we're not. in a war right now. That's absolutely. absurd. So Democratic Congress members. have pushed back and they're working. with some Republican Congress members. like Thomas Massie and others uh to. force a vote for a war powers resolution. to prohibit Donald Trump's war against.

Iran without congressional approval. I. mean it is already uh unlawful. And Maga. Mike Johnson and all these Maga. Republicans now are fighting tooth and. nail and they're trying to whip up all. of the support amongst every Republican. to try to block any attempt to restrain. Donald Trump's unlawful war against Iran. where we've already had a number of. service members who have been killed and.

seriously injured. Now, this also comes. when Donald Trump has told members of. the media like Jonathan Karl at ABC and. others that one of the main reasons. we've gone to war is cuz in his paranoia. he says the Ayatollah was going to kill. me, so I killed him first. Okay? And. also Donald Trump said expect this war. to last this war to last many, many, many weeks and expect he says that the.

Pentagon predictions are that there will. be a lot of casualties. A lot of. Americans are going to die. A lot of. American service members will die. That's what the Pentagon's telling. Donald Trump, but what Donald Trump said. is, "Look, it is what it is. Like this. is just what happens in war and this is. what it is and there will be lots of. deaths from American service members.". So then you have people. like Donald Trump's ambassador to the.

United Nations, Mike Waltz, who's like. in response to the service members who. died yesterday, Ambassador Waltz, I have to call him an. ambassador. He was like, "Freedom is. never free." And then you have other. kind of Trump sycophants, Bill Ackman and others are like, "This. is the most glorious way to die. Dying. in Iran is the most glorious form of. death.". And then you have Lindsey Graham saying, "This would be an. I direct quotes. Lindsey Graham's like,

"It would be an honor, an honor for you. to die in Iran. This is the highest form. of patriotism." And so now we have the. Epstein class, Donald Trump. and his whole cabal covering up the. files, sending [snorts] our service. members to die in a potentially. never-ending war that's already. spiraling out of control. That's what's. actually going on. So, I want to bring. the receipts for you. I want to share.

with you what these MAGA Republican. congress members are saying. I want to. show you what the Democratic congress. members and senators, MAGA congress. members and senators, Democratic. senators and congressmen, what they're. saying right now. I want to bring you. the receipts. The first data point I. want to show you though is what Brian. Stelter had to say about the Google. Trends right now um that everybody's. searching, you know, for Trump approval, Trump did he get permission? >> [laughter]. >> Play this clip. You know, Caitlan, if.

you look at Google Trends data right now. for the word Trump, look at the rising. searches. You'll see the number one. rising search in the last 24 hours is a. question. The question is, did Trump get. congressional approval? The answer is. no. The number one rising search in the. last 4 hours, really interesting, it's. Trump addresses nation. So, in other. words, people are literally searching. online looking trying to find out if the. president is addressing the nation. They. want to see him explain and justify. these strikes. And if you look at the. word Trump in just the last hour, the. number one rising search in the last. hour is Trump approval rating. And of.

course, all of those searches, they're. all related, right? They're all from. Americans trying to find out more. information about this military effort. We should also keep in mind the Pentagon. has severely restricted the flow of. information to the press this year, actually in the past 14 months. A lot. less information coming out of the. Pentagon about these strikes as well, Caitlan. All right. Now, let me bring for you the. other receipts right now. So, the first. clip I want to show you here is Anna. Paulina Luna. And Anna Paulina Luna says. the following when she is asked about.

the war with Iran. Here's what she says. Let's play this clip. about is that we. will not put boots on the ground there, period. Case closed. We will not vote on. having war with Iran because as of right. now, according to the plan, which I. won't say too much on television, but. according to the three objectives that. this administration outlined, everything. is going according to plan. Now, she says. the plan is so secret that we're not. allowed to know what it is. It's a secret of plan. No one can know,

but it's all going according to plan. The hell does that mean? What's the. plan? What are the objectives? What are. we trying to achieve? What's happening? Was this was originally about uranium. enrichment, now it's about regime. change, but now it's. Donald Trump is also saying that. actually we don't need to change the. regime. This would right? Donald Trump. said, "What we should be doing is very. similar to what happened in Venezuela. where someone else in the Maduro regime. took over." So, Donald Trump's saying. when it comes to Iran at this point, we.

should just have another Ayatollah who. was close to Khamenei for the. Ayatollah Khamenei find someone there. from the Islamic Republic that that. maybe is a little bit nicer to Donald. Trump. That's a direct quote. He says, "Venezuela is the good template." Okay? More from Anna Paulina Luna here where. she says, "Strategic strikes are not. wars." Here, play this clip. >> members, there are multiple wounded. And. again, it is not the intention of the US. government to invade. That is not what. is happening. These are isolated.

strategic large-scale attacks. Um but. again, there are negotiations that will. take place or at least open. communication with the White House um as. soon as the president decides that he is. willing or ready to talk. And that has. developed in the last couple of hours. So, that update hopefully later on this. evening. I'm sorry. You say it's not the. intention of the US government to. invade? Did we not just invade? We are. not invading. Are you saying Are you. seeing boots on the ground there? Cuz. I'm not. And I've been told directly by. the State Department and the White House. that that's. >> ground. I mean, we we just killed the.

leader of the country. That's not. Okay. Targeted strategic military strikes and. invasions are two totally different. things according to military. >> They're calling it a war. The president. has called it a war. And targeted air strikes. >> Strategic strategic strikes? A strategic strike? >> Yes, and according to the White House. and I just talked to them and talked to. the Secretary of State, strategic. strikes are not war. Really? So, if someone bombed America, that. would be.

a war? >> That Oh, wait. That makes no sense. So, you're saying that according to. according to your own. According to your own by definition, that's your standard. >> of Iran that's killed thousands of. Americans and murdered them. So, by. definition, they've already declared war. in the United States. >> I've had I've had missiles raining down. on me, too. I know how terrible the. Iranian regime is. >> We're not We are not debating that they. are a truly terrible regime. What we're. talking about is the standard for the. commander-in-chief to commit our sons.

and daughters in the military to war. And going to war when it is in the. national interest and making that case. to America and going to Congress and. getting approval for war. So, you are. saying this is a limited mission that is. only bomb strikes. So, there is no. congressional authorization necessary. How is this different from when Joe. Biden bombed the Houthi rebels in Yemen. without congressional authorization and.

you opposed that? Now, this is something that was echoed. by MAGA Republican Senator and Trump. sycophant. Wolf Blitzer says, "So, are you okay. with the the losses and the fact that if. this war drags on and more members of. our military die, are you okay with our. members of our military dying in a war?". And then. like, "I'm going to have to push back at. you, Wolf. We're not at war. This is not. a war." You're play this clip. In his.

announcement about this military. operation, President Trump warned. Americans prepare for possible troop. deaths. If this war drags on for weeks. or longer for that matter, and US. casualties mount, are you confident that. the American public will consider this a. noble mission and tolerate growing US. military losses? Well, well, first of all, I'm going to. push back. This isn't a war. We We. haven't declared war on Iran. We're not. at war with Iranian people. We had to remove a murderous regime.

that's been attacking the United States. for 47 years. Him and his murderous. thugs have killed thousands and murdered. thousands of Americans for for literally. 47 years. You heard the president's. announcement. He went through all the. attacks that they've had through. multiple presidents. And the the straw. that I would say that broke the camel's. back or the final straw is we're never. going to allow the number one world. sponsor of terror to be able to get a. nuclear weapon. There was no doubt that.

they were building delivery systems to. affect our interest and our assets all. around that region. There was no. There's no question they were trying to. develop a weapon that would reach the. United States. And in that case, it. wouldn't been a matter of if, it'd be a. matter of when. And so, after 9/11, America had a resolve that said we will. never do this again, meaning never. again. We'll never be caught. flat-footed. We're going to be proactive. and go after those that threaten us. And. President Trump finally had the backbone. that other presidents haven't to finally.

try diplomacy and try diplomacy by. saying you're not going to get a nuclear. weapon. We're not going to negotiate. with you. We're not going to allow you. to enrich because you can't be trusted. You're not going to have. the nuclear capability. And if you do, then you're going to pay the ultimate. price. So, And then you have Nancy Mace seeming to. say thanks to Donald Trump for the. deaths of US soldiers. Here, play this. clip. You right off the bat, your. reaction to three US service members. being killed in the early stages of.

these combat operations. The president. saying their sacrifice was worth it for. this greater mission and he's also. preparing the American people maybe for. more deaths by saying it's likely more. service members could die. What do you. make of the first 48 hours or so of this. mission and what questions do you have. for the administration moving forward? They're expected to brief you. and others in Congress on Tuesday as I. understand it. What's going through your. mind tonight? Well, number one, I want. to thank President Trump for his speech. today acknowledging those who.

sacrificed. These warriors laid down. their lives for our enemy fighting and. protecting American citizens here and. abroad because terrorism isn't just in. Iran, it's everywhere around the world. as we've seen in the last 24 hours. It's. something to take seriously. Head on a. swivel as they sometimes say. Number. one, number two, I believe President. Trump will go down as the most. consequential president in American. history during one of the most. consequential times in world history. And he took out someone that no one. thought this could ever happen. Taking.

out the leader of the number one state. sponsor of terrorism, the Ayatollah. Khamenei. Are you tired of waking up hungover and. worrying about what happened last night?

Now he says. the goal of this operation is not regime. change. Okay, Lindsey, let's play this. clip. The goal of this operation is to. change the threat, not the regime. When. this operation is over, no matter who. takes over in Iran, they will not have. ballistic missiles to hurt us, Israel, or the region. Uh they will not have the capability to.

be the largest state sponsor of. terrorism, whether it's their cleric or. group of representative. of of the country, where there's an. election, it doesn't matter right now. Then you have Lindsey Graham saying, "What happens next in Iran? I hope that. it's better, but um. it's ultimately their decision to make. We are not going to own rebuilding Iran. So, we're just going to do the. destroying. We're not going to own the. rebuilding. And it's not about.

What the hell are y'all talking about? I. I truly don't know. I don't support. [clears throat] regime change wars. I also have no clue what the hell What. are we doing? Like, for What the hell. are we doing there? Play this clip of. Lindsey Graham. What comes next? I hope. and pray it's better. I believe it will. be, but I know this. Iran can't hurt us. today like they could yesterday. And. this operation was about taking those. threats off the table. I will be glad to help.

to the extent I can. new people in Iran, but we're not going. to own rebuilding Iran. That's up to the. Iranians. We can be helpful, but it's. their decision to make. This is not. Iraq. This is not Germany. This is not. Japan. Well, how about MAGA Republican Senator. who chairs the Intelligence Committee, Tom Cotton? And when Cotton was asked, "Do you believe the American people are. owed some explanation by the.

commander-in-chief about what the hell. is happening? What is going on right. now?" Tom Cotton's like, "He posted on. Truth Social.". He did a Truth Social post, so he did an. 8-minute Truth video. So, what else What. else do you want him to do? Not a Truth. Social video, actually address the. American people, describe the. intelligence, explain what the hell is. going on. We know that Donald Trump's. own regime briefers, right? People who. brief Congress,

they told Congress that actually Iran. never posed an imminent threat against. the United States regarding any direct. strikes, and that Iran would only strike. if Israel attacked first. That's the. only way Iran would say they would. attack our bases. That's what Trump's. own regime briefer told Congress. But. but go on, Tom Cotton. Go on, Tom. Cotton. You're playing this clip. >> According to CBS polling, 74% of. Americans said that Trump would need. approval from Congress for military.

action against Iran. He did not seek. that. If this operation takes weeks, which is how you described it, do you. believe the administration has. effectively made its case to the. American public. to expect casualties to support this. action? Well, Margaret, I I thought the. president's 8-minute video yesterday was. outstanding. It laid out Iran's 47-year. campaign of terror and revolutionary. violence against the United States and. our people and really the civilized.

world. I'm sure the president will speak. more in the coming days. >> 47 years. He did not describe imminent. or justify that in that video. Do you. believe that the American public is owed. something more than a Twitter video? Well, Margaret, I think a 8-minute. address to the American people, whether. the president posted on social media or. whether it happens on your network, is. in keeping with presidential custom of. addressing the American people. Again, I'm sure that he's going to be speaking. more in coming days. The administration.

will be briefing Congress, and we're. going to have a vote in the Congress. The Democrats are forcing a vote. I. expect there'll be overwhelming. Republican support for our troops, for. the for our troops, and for the. president's decision to finally. eliminate the threat of Iran and not Or. how about, you know, this is why none of. these people in the Republican Party are. moderate. Right? You had Mike Turn- Mike. Turner claim that he was this moderate. guy and. you know, I'm here just to be, you know, I'm I'm I'm the sensible Republican.

But here he is and he says, "The reason. He say The reason we invaded Iran," he. says, "is because while they didn't have the. capability. to do nuclear weapons, they had the. intent to do it one day. So, now the. United States invades. If we believe. that you have an intent, not if you do. it, we we we just perceive intent and. then we invade you. Here, play this.

clip. inventory, they had continued as. as as had been declared to. um pursue. um their intention of uh nuclear uh. enrichment, they had continued. >> Rubio said they weren't enriching. They. had continued their intention to pursue. nuclear enrichment. They had had said. and declared that they were going to do. that. Their their programs had not been. completely. abolished and their intention had not. been abolished. They remained a threat and the fact that.

we had the ability. um [snorts] to to intervene, that. imminence is incredibly important. Now, more from Tom Cotton here. Let's. play it. A key part of President Trump's. campaign and it included it in his. inaugural address was no more wars. And. there are. number of Republicans who think that. this is the opposite of what they voted. for, that the president is breaking that. promise. Uh Tucker Carlson told ABC the. president's decision to strike Iran is.

quote absolutely disgusting and evil. What do you say to members of the MAGA. base who say this is not what we voted. for? Well, then I I've been on the campaign. trail all across Arkansas for the last 2. days visiting with hundreds of. Republicans. I haven't heard a single. Arkansan express anything but. unqualified support for President Trump. and and for his decision to finally put. America's foot down and end 47 years of. terror and revolutionary violence by the.

Islamic Republic against the United. States and our citizens. And I suspect. you'll see overwhelming support from. elected Republicans in the Congress who. are answerable to our voters in places. like Arkansas and states all across the. country when we're back in the capital. later this week. One of the things I want to point out as. well. is in the Atlantic wrote about this last. night. It was a good scoop over there. Although it's kind of obvious, too. Now.

Donald Trump says we're going to invade. Cuba. Part of this plan is Cuba next. Donald. Trump's already getting bored of Iran. He's bored of this. He thinks we've. already He thinks we've won. We've. achieved victory. So now he's moving. over to Cuba to do a Cuba invasion next. And here's what uh. Democratic Senator Warner had to say. about the intelligence that he was aware. of before the strike on Iran. Here, play. this clip. You heard Chairman Cotton say.

that the president's decision is. completely justified. What do you think? I think the president has started a war. of choice. There was no. imminent threat. to the United States. So the decision. to put our. service members in harm's way. and bases around the region in harm's. way. um was entirely based upon the.

president's decision, not an imminent. threat to America. I think it is. incumbent that the president of the. United States comes before the American. people and the Congress and makes the. case of why he's chosen to go to war at. this point. Then you have Democratic. Congressman and veteran uh Ryan. Here's. what he has to say. Let's play it. >> Stoff, just on the deaths of these three. service members. Obviously, that's three. families that are getting a devastating. call tonight uh to tell them about what.

happened to their loved ones. What do. you make of that? It's horrific. I still. wear this bracelet with the names of my. fellow soldiers I lost in my my two. deployments and uh for the president to. not. answer those questions, to have nothing. to say to those family members is. pathetic. It's pathetic. And it's. because he doesn't have answers. There. There's not a plan here or if it is, he's not sharing it with the American. people. And this certainly. rhymes with past, ill-conceived,

half-baked regime change wars that sound. good until they start and then all of a. sudden no one knows what the heck is. going on and it's young American men and. women that that pay the price and that. pisses me off. More from Democratic Congressman Ryan. You see the difference between what. these Republicans are saying and what. these Democrats are saying? Here I'll. play this clip. Meanwhile, Putin, Xi. I believe that the PRC is our greatest. enemy. They're watching this, seeing us.

bogged down in two carrier strike. groups, depleting our munition stocks. and I think that puts us in a less safe. position. And I don't want to say that. I don't say it lightly. Well, and on. muni- munitions, you make a good point. because we know from reporting, which. the president disputed, that the Joint. Chiefs Chairman General Dan Cain was. worried about an extended operation and. what exactly that could look like. And by the way, here's what the Pentagon. briefers. ended up saying. Let me play this clip. Yeah, Caitlan, just like most of the.

administration's explanations for why. now, why was this operation against Iran. launched now, this briefing happened in. private, but we're told that Pentagon. briefers did make a stark. acknowledgement and that was that no, there was no indication that Iran was. preparing to preemptively strike US. bases in the region in anticipation of. some sort of an attack from American and. Israeli forces. Um and and that's. something that senior administration. official had said on Saturday that um. believed was true and that was something. that contributed to the timing of this.

operation. So, raising more questions. still as the president um has We haven't. heard from him about his reasoning, his. justification, and his plan going. forward as this military operation. continues. Then finally, I'll share with. you what Democratic Congressman Adam. Smith had to say. He is the ranking member of the. Intelligence Committee for Democrats. He. says, "This is the most cavalier, most arrogant, most unconstitutional and. unlawful way a president in the history.

of the United States has gone to war, has dealt with Congress." Listen to what. he has to say. Play this clip. It. sure looks like President Trump made a. knee-jerk decision without taking into. account all the warnings. And by the. way, everything that has played out, people were saying this was the problem. with launching a regime change operation. at Iran in the first place, that Iran. would strike throughout the region, we. would lose service members, we would. begin to stress our amount of ammunition. to keep this fight going, and it was. highly unlikely that the Iranian regime.

would simply collapse. All of this was. known. The risks were known, and the. president in the most This is the most. cavalier manner that any president has. ever gone to war in the history of this. country. I mean, he does an 8-minute. Truth Social post at 2:00 in the. morning, then basically drops the mic, and walks away, and lets the war go. I, as the ranking member of the House Armed. Services Committee, still have not heard. from anybody from the Department of. Defense, nor has Chairman Mac.

Thornberry, the Republican chairman of. my committee, or in the Senate. You. know, they're launching this war without. a clear explanation of why or what. they're trying to do, and then saying, "Meh, yeah, some people are going to get. killed." I mean, you have to take much. more responsibility for placing the. lives of the men and women who serve our. country on the line than that. There you have it, folks. Let me know. what you think.
