I have MSNBC on.
On the red banner at the bottom of the screen I just saw where someone in Iran is threatening the US. But apparently the quote was “they will destroy all that he possesses”.
Which made me think, what if Iran targets just trump businesses. I mean he has them all around the world and they are easy to spot because his name is on many of them.

”NEW: Trump told his Mar-a-Lago buddies to expect ‘big’ Iran action days before the Soleimani hit.
In other words, randos at Trump's club knew more about the strike before members of Congress.”
trump, in order to make himself feel important, does the “I know something you don’t know” chant like a 5 year old.
And I would be remiss if I didn’t say “But but those 📧s”.

I saw this and I thought good luck with that. I thought after two years of trump showing his true colors that it would be a slam dunk voting him out of office. Then reality set in when people said, including on this board, that while they wouldn’t be voting for trump they wouldn’t commit voting for the Democratic Nominee until they saw who it was. So if they aren’t voting for trump and if they don’t like the Democratic Nominee then just exactly who are they voting for in a two person race? And the last poll I saw 17% said they wanted to see who the Democrats put up first before committing. Then you have the crowd who say they won’t show up to vote unless this person meets all their personal needs. Really? Just exactly what is trump doing now to meet these needs? From where I’m sitting he is busily taking away things from all of us. Well if you are rich he’s giving you things.I’ve made it very clear I’m not a fan of Warren, Sanders, or Biden. But if one of them is the nominee I will be there voting for them on Election Day because we just can’t have trump for another 4 years. We just can’t.Look what trump’s doing now. He’s pushing us into a “war of choice” with a country that has a real military which means, if it’s not stopped, a lot of people will die. And those people will include men and women in our military. Let’s just hope people wake up between now and Election Day and not only vote out trump but vote all the corrupt Republicans that are shielding him. And yea, the Democrats must win by huge numbers or the Republican will do everything in their power to prove the elections were rigged. Right on! And I am not a fan of Joe or Pete or Klobuchar or Sanders. But I will be there w/bells on to vote anyone of them in over the dangerous narcissist in the Oval Office currently. #VoteBlueNoMatterWho and we will win this thing. United we win. Divided we fall. Into fascism, war and even greater distress as a nation.

”As hard as I work, & as successful as our Country has become with our Economy, our Military & everything else, it is ashame that the Democrats make us spend so much time & money on this ridiculous Impeachment Lite Hoax. I should be able to devote all of my time to the REAL USA!”
Apparently he tweeted this after playing golf. Maybe the golf course is the new situation room. And he was holding classified meetings there. I mean isn’t that where he told Lindsey Graham about the pending attack in Iraq?
”REAL USA”. At some level he must know that over half of this country wants him gone. Otherwise he would not avoid groups of people that he knows could boo him. Never have I seen a president that isolated himself as much as this guy does from the people. So when he talks about REAL USA he must talking about his base and only his base.

dt has lied at least 14,000 times now Pence is following suit. Or did Pence go to Trump University? ** But it’s a tweet posted by Mike Pence on Friday that may be the best illustration of the lies originating from this White House. Because it’s not just a lie, it’s multiple lies. Incredibly lazy lies. Lies so sloppy, with so little attention to history, reason, or anything else, that Pence should be forced to wear them eternally stapled to his massive white forehead.In defense of assassinating Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, Pence went through a long list of Soleimani’s supposed crimes. Among them “Assisted in the clandestine travel to Afghanistan of 10 of the 12 terrorists who carried out the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States.” The list of reasons why this tweet is ridiculous is far longer than the original tweet. First of all, on the most straightforward point, there were 19 hijackers on 9/11. Not 12. A spokesperson for Pence has since launched a defense for this in saying that Pence was talking about a “subset” of the hijackers who traveled to Afghanistan through Iran. That statement also clarifies how Soleimani “assisted” these hijackers. He “allowed them to land” in Iran. A quick check of the records shows that Soleimani also allowed 4 million other people to land in Iran in 2001 alone. He was apparently a very busy fellow.** www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/1/4/1909418/-Mike-Pence-demonstrates-vividly-just-how-much-contempt-he-holds-for-the-American-public

Brand newly appointed Federal Judge Neomi Rao. There is a video at the end!!!! The court part starts about .53 sec. ** A strange exchange erupted Friday between the U.S. House counsel and a federal judge appointed by Donald Trump over the subpoenaed documents from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation and the convened grand jury. Trump has demanded none of his staff or appointees comply with Congressional subpoenas on impeachment and refuse to give documents requested by the committees. Understandably, the House took the case to court, appearing before Trump appointee Judge Neomi Rao. Republicans have complained that Democrats are not following the procedure by holding an impeachment vote before the case can move through the courts to subpoena first-hand witnesses that Trump has blocked. Yet, Trump’s judge asked Congress why they were coming to the Judicial branch when they had other avenues of getting Trump to comply with the subpoenas.The last available option to Congress, House General Counsel Doug Letter said, would be to dispatch the Sergeant at Arms to march into the Justice Department with guns blazing.(the following is the exchange between the Judge and the House counsel) Letter: “That’s stunning. That’s just stunning. If this court rules that the House is entitled to this material, the Attorney General is going to say — no?”
Judge Rao: “I’m asking a hypothetical.”
Letter: “I guess what we would do is we would use the main remedy that the House has had from the beginning. We’ll send the Sergeant at Arms over to the Justice Department. I cannot imagine that anybody at the Justice Department is going to interfere with him doing his duty as an officer to the House. And he will pick up the grand jury materials, and he will bring them to the House.”
Judge Rao: “So you do have some methods of self-help that don’t require this court to intervene?”
Letter: “Absolutely. We can send the Sergeant at Arms, and he can go have a gun battle with –”
Judge Rao: “Why not avail yourself of that remedy?”
Letter: “The reason is obvious.”
Judge Rao: “Why is it obvious?”
“When was the last time that was done?” another voice can be heard asking but isn’t identified.
Letter: “That’s why — again, this was discussed in the first case — that’s why we don’t do that anymore. We don’t have the Sergeant at Arms go out and arrest people and have a gun battle with Mr. Barr’s FBI security detail. Instead, we go to court.”** www.rawstory.com/2020/01/listen-trump-judge-asks-house-why-they-cant-send-sergeant-at-arms-into-the-doj-with-a-gun-to-enforce-subpoenas/

So much for dt improving US manufacturing: new factories, more high paying jobs...... ** Economic activity in the U.S. manufacturing sector contracted in December to its lowest level in more than 10 years, according to industry figures released Friday by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM).ISM's Purchasing Managers' Index registered at 47.2 percent in December, the lowest since June 2009, when it hit 46.3 percent. Index readings below 50 percent indicate a contraction. December was the fifth straight month that the manufacturing sector contracted. In November, the index registered at 48.1 percent. Production and employment were down, largely because of a lack of demand. But prices increased for the first time since May, which ISM Chairman Timothy Fiore said in a news release is "a positive for 2020." The U.S. economy has been strong overall, but manufacturing remains a weak spot, in part because of challenges as a result of President Trump's trade war with China. *** thehill.com/policy/finance/476653-us-manufacturing-activity-contracts-to-lowest-level-since-june-2009

”America is far less safe today.
First, Trump alienated key allies in anti-ISIS coal.
Then, he abandoned Kurdish anti-ISIS partner force in Syria.
Now, after #Suleimani strike, Iraq expels US anti-ISIS forces & Iran abandons nuclear accord that blocked its paths to nukes.”

Ben Rhodes..
”Iraqis demand US leave. Counter-ISIS campaign suspended. Iran abandons limits on nuclear program. All in one day. To Mike Pompeo, that and threats to kill Americans are "a little noise" and we are safer. Pompeo is dangerously dishonest and incompetent.”
Richard Engel..
“On @meetthepress Secretary @secpompeo said killing Soleimani 100% makes America safer, “even if there's a little noise here in the interim.” I remember, as Baghdad was being looted after Saddam’s overthrow, Rumsfeld said: “Freedom's untidy.”

“there's literally no military response Iran can counter with that will infuriate Trump more than when he sees Suleimani's funeral attendance is larger than his inauguration”
I was thinking pretty much the same thing. 😀
