Ilham Omar Lobs The Dumbest Reason For Why There Could Be A War Between U.S. and Iran

Oh, you knew the Squad was going to chime in on this—and they didn’t disappoint. Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) have been railing against Donald Trump lawful targeting of Iran’s Quds force commander Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani. Soleimani was a terrorist with the blood of hundreds of Americans on his hands. He’s dead. We should be glad. Instead, the ‘hate America’ crowd’ is in an uproar. Apparently, only Democrats are allowed to kill terrorists and be rewarded for it. There are fears that this strike could spark a war. Iran has already vowed revenge and all U.S. forces in the area remain on high alert. And then, there’s Omar who thinks that Trump will spark a war with Iran because the state-sponsor of terrorism might target the president’s hotel empire. It will be a war over lost revenue. You literally cannot make this up (via The Hill ):

Trump needs to immediately divest from his businesses and comply with the emoluments clause. Iran could threaten Trump hotels *worldwide* and he could provoke war over the loss of revenue from skittish guests.

His business interests should not be driving military decisions.

Rep. Ilhan Omar tweeted Monday that President Trump could draw the U.S. into war with Iran if it seek to harm properties owned by the Trump Organization around the world.

In a tweet, the Minnesota Democrat called on Trump to divest from his global business holdings, a common criticism that has followed Trump throughout his first term, in the aftermath of the U.S. killing of Gen. Qassem Soleimani last week.

"His business interests should not be driving military decisions," Omar said.

I mean this is just garbage. There are some legitimate points as to why this strike might not be warranted; I disagree but there could be an argument. Trump losing revenue isn’t one of them from a serious person, but we’re talking about Omar here. Meanwhile, the president was calm and collected. He enjoyed his meal of meatloaf and ice cream as he ordered this beauty of a strike against a piece of human garbage as he traveled to Baghdad International Airport to board his one-way ticket to hell.

Ilhan Omar: 'Trump must divest. His hotels are targets' (Twitter)

I took this as a big "HINT, HINT" to her muzzlime buddies that they should consider his personal properties TARGETS. And she was doing them the big favor by actually pointing them out, in case they missed any. I'm sure Trump would not mind them taking out a tower or two...so long as this traitorous witch was chained to its wall while they did it.

I had wooden steak last night. We have been married since ‘67 so I ate it without comment.

An Iranian official tweeted President Trumps properties
would be targeted if Trump were to attack any of Irans’
cultural sites. He included a list of Trump properties
worldwide.

Bar tending school should demand AOC’s diploma back.
