Over 60 Members Of Congress Condemn Trump’s Threat To North Korea
The Huffington Post ^ | August 10, 2017 | Mollie Reilly

Dozens of members of Congress sent a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Thursday, urging “utmost caution and restraint” in further dealings with North Korea and condemning President Donald Trump for promising “fire and fury” in response to reports that the Asian nation is escalating its nuclear program.

“These statements are irresponsible and dangerous, and also senselessly provide a boon to domestic North Korean propaganda which has long sought to portray the United States as a threat to their people,” reads the letter from 64 House Democrats, led by Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.).

“We respectfully but firmly urge you to do everything in your power to ensure that President Trump and other Administration officials understand the importance of speaking and acting with the utmost caution and restraint on this delicate issue,” the letter continues. “Congress and the American public will hold President Trump responsible if a careless or ill-advised miscalculation results in conflict that endangers our servicemembers and regional allies.”(continued)

“64 Democrats....nuff said”

And then there’s GOP (alleged) McCain over there in the Senate saying the same thing.

It’s hard to wrap your head around the fact that some Americans would rather see the literal end of America and the loss of millions of Americans’ lives than to support Trump just one time.

An EMP strike is one thing, but if a nuke wiped-out Seattle or Los Angeles, or even better Washington D.C......

The real point is....President Trump is the CIC. Congress has absolutely no business contradicting his call. It’s the very reason it was written into the constitution making the President and the President alone CIC.

Let’s send over a delegation to negotiate peace just before the hostilities start - a delegation of 64 Democrats.

I’m sure they would volunteer to be human shields, protecting their hero.

I’m sure they also censured McCain for his “Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran” stunt too, so it’s all kosher....

Remember “Shock and Awe” in the Gulf War? Even the Democrats and MSM were on board with that. Today, they would rather threaten with “Flowers and Doves”...

Dozens of members of Congress sent a letter to _________ about _______ Protesting Pres D TRUMP
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Can about guarantee that if PDT had said they were getting a raise, appointed for life etc they would ‘Protest’ the President.

They don’t care what is in the ‘blanks’, all it has to do is originate from PDT and it is DOA.

Is this Kim Jong-Un wing of the democrat party the same cabal that hurls invective and sanctions at Russia while accusing them of rigging our elections?

“They are telegraphing to the world that America isn’t united. THAT in itself gaurentees trouble.”

Absolutely correct, and this is dangerous. What if this had happened to JFK during the Cuban missile crisis?

"...results in conflict that endangers our service members and regional allies.”

By definition, that is precisely what armed conflict does. Have any of these people gone to school?

Headline reveals the media bias.

Instead of claiming that over 60 (64) members of Congress condemned Trump's threats to North Korea....

the headline would be more accurate to say that 471 members of Congress did not condemn the president's remarks.

The Huffington Post makes it sound like an overwhelming number of congressmen disagreed with Trump's remarks, when in fact, it was a small minority of democRATS (12% of total congress critters) who condemned the remarks.

Perfect example of how the media twists their stories to drive their agenda.

No big surprise. The RATS no longer consider Americans part of their constituency.
