Well, the polls I saw showed a slight negative in whether we should attack Iran. So that may have been reflected in today's poll.
It was a hard pivot from the narrative about Trump being the President for peace, they probably were confused.
Yeah. Democrats are going to have to get their shit together, though. It's been a little lackluster thus far with them.
Sorry. Korea & 'Nam were technically "conflicts". We just colloquially call them "wars". Just as I colloquially called Trump a "Wartime President".
I might agree.
39K and 58K, respectively, American military personnel want a word. That’s just semantics, Israel and Iran lobbed missiles and bombs for 12 days…
Thanks. To be frank, I expected him to immediately scamper off into the darkness so I really did it for myself and other posters looking for references. There is little value in gathering information for people like @RetiredAtLast. Why would a photocopier care for such things?You were very kind to do those simple internet searches for @RetiredAtLast . Probably not the results he hoped for.
The difference between a war and all that other post WW2 crap is, wars must be officially declared by Congress,
AND wars must include concrete plans and timetables for victory AND plans for the events that come in the wake of said victory.
All of the above is anathema for well heeled defense contractors because victory spells the end of the money streams and post-victory plans cost a lot of taxpayer money and Congress critters blanche at that thought.
A real war is dirty, bloody and marked by responsibility, solid objectives and discipline.
Everything else inside of that is more discipline followed by somber moral responsibility and accountability.
And that's no fun at all, which is why it is much more popular to invent executive off ramps and workarounds that dismiss all that un-fun stuff.
When we were in the runup to Iraq II Dick Cheney waxed poetic about a "seventy year commitment" which gave everyone at Northrup Grumman, Halliburton, Raytheon, Carlisle, Lockheed and General Dynamics (and a ton of others) huge boners of Uncle Milty proportions.
That wasn't a war, it was a gravy train.
You’re wrong on this, way wrong.Don't try to shame me, here.
There's proper technical terms for these conflicts, and that's what I used to refute your argument.
Remember, I'm the one that used the term "War". You disputed it. I'm fine calling our mid century conflicts the Korean & Nam Wars, and usually do. But if you want to go all technical on me, you've been advised of the proper technical terms.
A thesaurus is far from sufficient to fix all of Trump's many mental deficienciesPerfect flight. Someone buy this moron a thesaurus.
You truly believe that the midterms will be a “bloodbath for Republicans”? I am bookmarking your assertion.The midterms are going to be a bloodbath for Republicans.
What a shame.

Last I heard impeachment seemed to be on the table again. I think it sounds like another great plan by the Democrats. I do hope they move forward with that magnificent, well thought out plan. Let’s see how America reacts to yet another impeachment.Go right ahead.
If the current shitshow that is the US doesnt result in a bloodbath for Republicans then I begin to wonder just how bad things need to get before Trump gets stopped.
They rightfully threw it out because he wasn’t trying to bribe a foreign country or overthrow an election again.Last I heard impeachment seemed to be on the table again.

Of course not. What do you believe currently they are using as a catalyst for impeachment?It all depends on what they impeached him for.
Are you against impeachment under any circumstances?

I guess abuse of power is out
House shelves effort to impeach Trump over Iran strikes
The U.S. House has voted overwhelmingly to set aside an effort to impeach President Donald Trump over the military strikes in Iran. A lone Democrat, Rep.apnews.com
Like I said. I am all in on another impeachment. I truly hope the Dem’s go that route.There's plenty of things to choose from.
Using the armed forces in the US for a start.
You’re wrong on this, way wrong.
I got your “emotional appeal” right here!
You should be shamed, IMO.
Perfect flight. Someone buy this moron a thesaurus.
You’re kinda right and mostly wrong. A president’s personal polling doesn’t necessarily correlate to election wins anymore because of the polarization of the country. However that he’s underwater on so many of his own key issues can point to really soft support heading into the midterms. And then there’s the recession he’s creating that’s on the way. Sitting presidents of a recession don’t tend to do well.RCP has him at 46.9 and Gallup has him at 45%, but keep hope alive
