Trump authorized the assassination of Iranian general seven months ago Barbara Morrill Daily Kos Staff Monday January 13, 2020 · 5:43 AM PST 2020/01/13 · 05:43 Recommend 208 Recommend 208 Unrecommend 208 Share Tweet 124 Comments Last Thursday, after a week of shifting explanations, Donald Trump declared that the decision to assassinate Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani was made because “ they were looking to blow up our embassy.” Never mind that no one, from Democratic and Republican lawmakers, to Trump’s own secretary of defense , could or would confirm this claim, Trump insisted the threat was real and it was imminent. Case closed. Except on Monday morning, NBC reported that: President Donald Trump authorized the killing of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani seven months ago if Iran's increased aggression resulted in the death of an American, according to five current and former senior administration officials. The world is in chaos, and the only fact one can count on is that Donald Trump is a liar.

Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar kicked the snot out of Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden probably had his most coherent debate yet, and it’s still mind-boggling that Tom Steyer was able to buy his way onto the stage.

Here’s Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, French President Emmanuel Macron, and U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson gathered at the NATO summit for a round of Trump-bashing, where they mock his “jaw-dropping” press conferences. x This happens at every NATO summit with Trump. Every G7. Every G20. The US President is mocked by US allies behind his back. pic.twitter.com/FWncEM7jVs — ian bremmer (@ianbremmer) December 4, 2019 Trump, being the renowned statesman that he is, responded on Wednesday morning by whining that Trudeau is "two-faced," and—hilariously—cancelling an upcoming press conference before announcing he was heading back to Washington early. Stay tuned for some mid-Atlantic rage-tweeting about bombing Canada. Dear World, we recognize what a monumental embarrassment Donald Trump is.
