Dear God, impeachment has come too late

And how many people were calling out warnings that went unheeded?

There is a madman in the oval office.

W.T.everloving.F?

Can we use the Hitler analogies yet?  He's every bit as mad.  And, if this is not total bullshit made-uup insanity, who the fuck is "we"?  Targeting Iranian cultural sites?  And in revenge for 52 American hostages decades ago?  Are you serious?!  That's exactly the kind of thing Hitler (and other despots) did that the US has long condemned.

Observers were quick to point out that the deliberate destruction of cultural sites is a war crime under international law.

And so is assassination, but who's counting? When we allowed war crimes like pre-emptive war, torture and targeted killings to go unpunished, what did we expect we would end up with?

"The U.S. has waged a campaign of terror against Iraq and Iran for more than six decades. Coups, invasions, bombings, sanctions, support for despots and death squads," wrote The Intercept's Jeremy Scahill in response to the president's tirade. "Trump is now broadcasting his intent to commit more war crimes. None of this is happening in a history-free vacuum."

"It is a horrid stain on the U.S. that it has never once held any president responsible for the vast economic and war crimes they have committed," Scahill added.

Bingo.

Trump doesn't even have the sense to know that you can't threaten Iran like he threatens North Korea. He thinks everybody responds to bullying by backing down. He's insane.

"Trump was never fit to be president—amid a crisis of his own creation he is openly threatening war crimes against the Iranian people," tweeted Ryan Costello, policy director at the National Iranian American Council. "Not only does Congress need to halt this march to war and atrocity, they need to get him out of office."

AMEN.
