Rep. Sean Casten (D-Il.) said late Saturday that President Trump’s move to bomb Iranian nuclear sites without congressional approval amounts to an “unambiguous impeachable offense.”
“This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program,” Casten said in a post on the social platform X. “No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.”

Seems like Rep. Casten has his head in the sand.
Massie and Rand fans flame away.
Iran has posed an imminent threat to us for decades.
Those nukes are meant for us since Iran has vowed to destroy us.
Bill Clinton bombed an aspirin factory. But he was awesome.
For the next few days it’s going to be “impeach Trump” in the media and from democrats.
Whatever Trump does, especially if it’s in the best interest of this country, the dems condemn.
The demonrats have proven themselves to be irrational and hate filled.
1979 comes to mind. “Death to America” comes to mind. Instability in the middle east comes to mind, which includes a lot of American direct interest.
Iran fooled around and found out, big time.
When democrats pick a side it’s always the WRONG SIDE
“ Bill Clinton bombed an aspirin factory. But he was awesome.”
Clinton also bombed mostly civilian targets in Kosovo for 75 days.
Go for it, should increase your constituency of Karen’s, trans, illegals, Jew haters, and general TDS folks
To paraphrase Worf: if Trump were to be impeached over disarming Iran, thus saving many lives, there is no higher honor.
How dare Trump prevent Jew hating Ayatollah’s from developing a nuclear weapon to wipe Israel off the face of the earth...
Do these people actually think before they talk?
This attack may be the best thing Trump has ever done and what he’ll be remembered for most... He just made the world a safer place.
There hasn’t been an American president do that since Ronald Reagan.
After America beclowned itself by observing the nonsensical ‘holiday’ called ‘Juneteenth’; Trump had to do SOMETHING to restore the badass reputation of our country.
From the SHT State of illinois...all you need to know.
Beclowning themselves for a headline or two is nothing new for these mindless retards. Who going to start the impeachment process Rep? You or AOC?
impeach to your heart’s content.
The democrats developed a standard in the last decade of impeaching over anything they disagree with the President (pure politics, let’s see if we have the votes to remove)
Before that the standard and the only two impeachments were over a specific broken law that those on both sides agreed was violated (and the only issue for the Senate was if the violation was severe enough to remove from office)
Clear and present danger from a nation that has vowed, repeatedly and vehemently, "Death to America"!
The Sunday talking point.
[Iran has posed an imminent threat to us for decades.
Those nukes are meant for us since Iran has vowed to destroy us.]
Aftermath
edit
On November 22, 1985, Ted Shackley, Buckley’s friend and recruiter, traveled to the Atlantic Hotel in Hamburg, where he met General Manouchehr Hashemi, the former head of SAVAK’s counterintelligence division. Also at the meeting was Manucher Ghorbanifar. According to the report of this meeting that Shackley sent to the State Department, Hashemi said Ghorbanifar had “fantastic” contacts with Iran,[20] but the CIA had designated him one year earlier as a “fabricator”.[21] At the meeting, Shackley told Hashemi and Ghorbanifar that the United States was willing to discuss arms shipments in exchange for the four Americans kidnapped in Lebanon, although Buckley was already dead at this point.[22][23][4]
Major General Carl Stiner stated that “Buckley’s kidnapping had become a major CIA concern. Not long after his capture, his agents either vanished or were killed. It was clear that his captors had tortured him into revealing the network of agents he had established.”[24] According to the United States, Buckley had undergone 15 months of torture by Hezbollah before his death. After Buckley’s kidnapping, three videos of Buckley being tortured were sent to the CIA in Athens. Interpreters noticed puncture marks indicating he was injected with narcotics. According to several sources, as a result of his torture, he signed a 400-page statement detailing his CIA activities.[5][25]
In a summary of the content of a video taken approximately seven months after the kidnapping, Buckley’s appearance was described as follows:
Buckley was close to a gibbering wretch. His words were often incoherent; he slobbered and drooled and, most unnerving of all, he would suddenly scream in terror, his eyes rolling helplessly and his body shaking.[26] The CIA consensus was that he would be blindfolded and chained at the ankles and wrists and kept in a cell little bigger than a coffin.[5]]
