Trump Plays With WWIII
By Thom Hartmann A...
When Bush and Cheney decided to lie us into a war with Iraq, and take down a Sunni government, it became inevitable that Iraq, a Shia majority country, would end up with Shia control and align itself with Shia controlled Iran.The only way to prevent that from being a disaster for the United States was to work out a deal with Iran, which Obama did.
When Trump blew up that deal, he made even worse the stupid mistake of Bush and Cheney and set us again on the path to war.
Now his assassination of the number three guy in the Iranian government is an act of war without congressional approval. This will not end well.

Ironically, I think that a lot of people who hate Trump are going to be disappointed if there isn't a war with Iran.

Thom, you are a master at tiny details. How many times have you told us the US was going to war with one country or another?
All this is remindful of "the Great Crash of 2016"
Take a breath and calm down. Iran or not, economy or not, Trump will be re-elected. Prepare yourself for another five years or judge appointments and chaos.

It's really hard to believe all the outrage expressed by Thom and some Democrats. Is the outrage legit, or more likely, the outrage is just another expression of hate for anything President Trump does.
#5
Don't you find a lot of what he does outrageous?

SueN, I will agree the President is not a likeable guy. But he gets things done. Some Democrats have been calling for his impeachment since the day after the election. It's too much. It's the Chicken little syndrome. President Trump beat all his Republican competition for president using the same style he used to defeat Hillary. It's the same style he uses to defeat Democrats now. The more Democrats attack, the more popular the President becomes, and the more inept Democrats seem. At this rate, he will be reelected with 60+ % of the vote.

Check out whether he actually gets done what he says he does.
And don't forget he got fewer votes than Hillary.

those who have access to Trump have the ability to "put shit in his head" namely Jared Kushner, Stephan Miller have been there since day one, I would suspect that Jared Kushner is constantly planting and suggesting actions be taken that favor Saudi Arabias Mohammed Bin Saladin, Israels Benjamin Netanyahu and clearing it with Putin not so much working at Putins direction proactively but trying to make sure any action Trump might take wouldnt directly cross Putin or embarrass Putin.
After all Jared wanted a direct line to the Kremlin bypassing having any normal USA intelligence agencies who would be monitoring Jareds calls otherwise.

Hi SueN.
Here's what I know, since Trump has become President I've seen my annual income increase about 17%. Prices have remained stable. Unemployment is at an all time low. That's what makes my world go around. I don't care that the President received less popular votes than Hillary, he received 302 Electoral votes to Hillary's 228 and despite all the bitching by lefties, electoral votes is how we elect the president.
You have however, hit upon the reason for the impeachment, Democrats cannot accept the fact they lost the election....to bad.....YOU LOST.

I'm not a Democrat. I'm only concerned about the harm he is doing, which is obvious from where I stand.

Hi SueN,
Sorry, I need to be more clear. It's not all Democrats, it's a vocal handful who have captured the Democrat party, and pulling it to the extreme left.
I don't see the harm, the President is doing. No Leader is going to please everyone. Would you mind pointing out some of the harm you perceive he has done.
#12
What you call far left isn't very far left at all. It is the Republicans who have veered right, dragging the centrists behind them.

Hi SueN,
we were having a nice conversation until you veered off. Please answer my question, would you please point out some of the harm you perceived President Trump has done.

From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
