New York Times: The Nightmare Stage of Trump’s Rule Is Here
New York Times ^ | 01/07/2020 | Michelle Goldberg

There are no more adults in the room.

After three harrowing years, we’ve reached the point many of us feared from the moment Donald Trump was elected. His decision to kill Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, Iran’s second most important official, made at Mar-a-Lago with little discernible deliberation, has brought the United States to the brink of a devastating new conflict in the Middle East.

We don’t yet know how Iran will retaliate, or whether all-out war will be averted. But already, NATO has suspended its mission training Iraqi forces to fight ISIS. Iraq’s Parliament has voted to expel American troops — a longtime Iranian objective. (On Monday, U.S. forces sent a letter saying they were withdrawing from Iraq in response, only to then claim that it was a draft released in error.)

On Sunday, Iran said it will no longer be bound by the remaining restrictions on its nuclear program in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the deal that Trump abandoned in 2018. Trump has been threatening to commit war crimes by destroying Iran’s cultural sites and tried to use Twitter to notify Congress of his intention to respond to any Iranian reprisals with military escalation.

The administration has said that the killing of Suleimani was justified by an imminent threat to American lives, but there is no reason to believe this. One skeptical American official told The New York Times that the new intelligence indicated nothing but “a normal Monday in the Middle East,” and Democrats briefed on it were unconvinced by the administration’s case. The Washington Post reported that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo — who last year agreed with a Christian Broadcasting Network interviewer that God might have sent Trump to save Israel from the “Iranian menace” — has been pushing for a hit on Suleimani

Way to whitewash a mass murderer. What a despicable operation NYT has become.

The NYSlimes is as reliable in its anti-American, pro US enemies reporting as they were during WWII when they steadfastly refused to report on NAZI atrocities.

Nothing has changed with those _ssholes.

I wonder if they will be able to hear B-52s approaching in the distance?

Michelle Goldberg has got the Iranian unibrow thing going.

How did all these Elbonians infiltrate the Democrat and the Media (but I repeat myself...)?

The only “nightmare” has been for the media. Many of us have known for years what a bunch of leftist liars they are...now Trump has let everyone know.

“The nightmare scenario the NY Slimes doesn’t really want to see would be the American people finding out the full details of The One’s nuke deal with Iran, and the true reason he gave them $150 billion!”

If Trump has the information, with documentation, he should just release it and let the chips fall where they may. The people should know the full extent of the corruption in government. American cannot be great again if government continues to do business in the dark.

I agree. Why else would the Democrats freak out over the killing of this terrorist leader, and why has Lurch has been making numerous visits to Teheran to speak with Iranian officials when he’s no longer a member of the federal government? It’s all fishy and points to RAT collusion with the Mullahs!
