Where were u when Obama gave millions to Iran which helped them have more ppl killed. Able them to build balms. No one had common sense

It’d be easier to take democrats serious had they not snored through every occasion that Obama inhaled in war and conflicts

They’ll let you know when they’ve fired the first shot,the administration has no regard for Congress

Why doesn’t he simply talk to Pelosi? From all accounts she has the Iran situation completely under her control.

Cuz they are all clueless

Trump can't comprehend anything at all. Bolton has one thing on his agenda. WAR!! He's a bureaucratic, staffer and WAR Monger!!!

Ask him to tweet when he gets an answer.

Ask the media!!!They think they know everything. They’ll be the ones to cause something. They simply can’t control themselves. Literally will say and do anything to try and hurt the President and this country!

A war with Iran would draw the ire of the American people.

Not really.

All Bolton has ever wanted was to start a war

Outrageous to vote against our president’s wall!!!!!!

The president briefed the gang of 8. Tell Chris to ask Schumer.

Less outrage. More action.

Get back to work, the only thing DemoCraps do is look for ways to hamper the President.

The Executive Branch is too busy golfing, tweeting, and campaigning to do any work.

So what are you going to do about it? Nothing is what's been done so far. Empty threats harsh letters are going to do it, they have ar15's.

Is it tho. You’re just now figuring out and finding it outrageous that trump does what he wants, when he wants, damn the torpedoes! Don’t even !

hardball THey cant tell you what they are doing because they have no idea.

Yes. It's outrageous but not surprising that the Administration has not briefed Congress about the tensions in Iran. This is Trump's MO. ACT first, think later.💗🇺🇸dumptrump!

Well it's simple, trump needs something to take the focus off him and if we were in a war, trump would have some leverage to getting reelected and letting the statute of limitations keep him out of jail.

The only thing that pathological lying 20 pounds over obesity fake bully knows is how to get his terrorist base to cause more chaos. From that letter he sent to North Korea. Donald Trump can't comprehend what's going on in Iran.

Trump is desperate enough to start a war to get re-elected. It keeps him out of jail.

Bolton has had a hard on for years for war with them... roll the tapes!

My Congress should focus on being the legislative branch and passing budgets/laws vice doing the executives job of governing....

You’re getting a briefing on Tuesday. Calm down.

hardball Are you really that surprised..? It's a mom and pop shop...

Obama did the same with Syria and Libya and Congress, the media and the left just seat and did nothing to stop this false flag war.

because all the so called intel is complete bullshit or at best loose facts distorted to suit

You thought the Mad King was going to brief you? Should have voted for Hillary.

I'm beginning to think that instead of sending letters to Trump, members of Congress should send him Tweets. That's one form of communication he always seems to respond to. Maybe the only one...

Van donated to mother whose kids were wounded in police shootingTulsa businesses teamed up to provide a minivan to a mother of four children, three of which were wounded in a police shooting that also destroyed her truck. KJRH's Gitzel Puente reports. “Three of whom” “Which” refers to inanimate objects and to non-human members of the animal kingdom. That said, the greater problem here: why are US law enforcement officers so trigger happy? The dirty cops who shot her kids should be paying for her new Lexus.

Draymond Green Able To List From Memory Every Player Drafted Before Him In NBA HistoryCLEVELAND—Claiming that it has been a constant source of motivation throughout his career, Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green revealed to reporters Thursday that he is able to recite, completely from memory, the names of every single player drafted ahead of him in NBA history. “First was Clifton McNeely to the Pittsburgh Ironmen in 1947, then the [Toronto] Huskies took Glen Selbo, and third was Boston, who took Bulbs Ehlers,” said Green, taking the next several hours to list all 2,786 players who were selected, in order, during the six decades before he was chosen by the Warriors with the 35th overall pick of the 2012 NBA Draft. “I haven’t forgotten that Dion Waiters, Tayshaun Prince, Stephon Marbury, Dan Majerle, Keith Van Horn, Rafer Alston, Grant Hill, Dominique Wilkins, John Havlicek, [1973 fifth-round pick] Dennis Bell, and Yao Ming were chosen before me, and I never will. It’s something I think about all the time, because I want to prove that I’m just as good as any of those guys.” Green went on to say that he does feel vindicated by the fact that he has an NBA championship ring, unlike Bill McGill, who was selected prior to him by the Chicago Zephyrs with the first overall pick in 1962. this is suppose to be satire Ya this is 100% true The goat

Aides Request John Bolton Please Stop Setting Fire To Middle East Tactical MapWASHINGTON—Saying his outbursts have hindered their ability to hold constructive military strategy sessions, top Pentagon aides have repeatedly asked National Security Advisor John Bolton to stop setting fire to their Middle East tactical map, sources confirmed Wednesday. “We keep trying to lay out troop deployment options for Mr. Bolton, but it’s difficult when he just barges in, pours lighter fluid all over the map, and flicks a lit match on top,” said Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan, who acknowledged this was hardly the first time Bolton had destroyed a tabletop display of the region while screaming, “Burn, motherfuckers, burn!” “He’s the one who requested a more robust military plan, but it’s hard to brief him when you’re looking at a bunch of melted blotches and you can’t tell what’s Syria and what’s Iran. He even burned up the components on the map representing our own troops. Honestly, it’s hard enough getting through meetings with a guy who stops up his ears and screams anytime the word ‘Iraq’ is mentioned.” At press time, President Trump had reportedly viewed the remnants of the map and signed off on Bolton’s plan. Haha it's funny because he belongs in The Hague but instead he gets part of my paycheck It's all pantomime for Putin. Iran is a Russian vassal state, there is no universe that Trump fires on it without express permission from Moscow, which they aren't going to give. Trump needs the smokescreen of a fight going into 2020, and North Korea farce has run it's course. Moreso that he doesn't burn his mustache off and be fired by Trump. Self preservation really.

Opinion | Trump's Iran posturing is all John Bolton's doing, and may be his undoingThe Iranian government knows the national security adviser wants a war, and is banking on the fact that the president doesn't. THINK That will never happen. Trump lives to spread chaos around the world THINK FYI: If Trump thinks war with Iran will please his base, he'll do it without blinking. THINK That scumbag does want a war.....anything for a distraction, and a way to galvanize his ignorant base....he could care less.
