dailykos.com  summed it up very well with this piece by Mark Sumner clearly showing how Mr. Trump has given in to Pompeo and Bolton neocon bull in order to get them not to testify against him in the impeachment trial. Pompeo's news conference was carried by CNN's Newsroom. A goon, just like a politician, has to be able to lie through his teeth--no one denies this--but the one thing they have trouble with is employing logic to get their point across. Pompeo asked us to consider the absurdity of General Suleimani going to Iraq on a peace mission. If CNN had been on their toes, they would have countered with the obvious logical point that a negative cannot be proved. Nothing the goon can say can prove that Suleimani wasn't in Iraq on a peace mission; he can only try to prove that he was there on nefarious grounds and that  he has not done preferring to use past actions by Suleimani as a predictor of future actions.

To the people of Iran, we are protesting in the streets on your behalf and we are contributing to peaceful Democratic candidates like Bernie Sanders whose ears won't be bent by the neocons in the State Dept. whom we know were put there by the revolving door of our Military Industrial Complex. Can you hold off a year before committing to an attack which will only escalate to the killing of both of our sons and daughters? We peaceniks in the U.S. made a mistake with Donald Trump just like we made a mistake with the Drone President, Barack Obama, and I firmly believe the majority of us are committed to not vote for a Bush-type with Neocons in tow. I know a year is long time but I hope you'll think it prudent to wait and postpone any violent attacks against us until our next election. Please believe that the pulse of our Nation beats with a peaceful and non-interventional heart. Peace be to all; in God's name we pray. Angel Jimenez, peacenik North Bergen, NJ, USA

Congressman Mike is a mic for the MIC. Just today, he went on about the failings of  Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani and how his death was justified vis-a-vis his support of anti-U.S. forces in Iraq. Apparently, Suleimani was the man who sent many an ied to Iraq which begs the question: was it really 'improvised' if a top Iranian military general sends these? In moments like this, I wonder how often the U.S. collective mind thinks, "...but we had no business being there in the first place, damnit!" When you disturb a hornet's nest, do you then condemn the hornets for attacking you? No, Mr. Gallagher, 911 was not masterminded, orchestrated, nor implemented by the Iraqis or those who supported their insurgents. You know damn well who did it--our 'friends' on the peninsula, and as Mr. Trump has said, "Pelosi should have impeached Bush." This has been turned into an anti-Trump soundbite by the MSM as if to say, "of course the Dems are right in impe...
