ICE is dangerous in specific moments and to specifically targeted people but they can't hold an entire nation at bay without a lot of help. 

 

Of course, that help will be offered by many and in many ways ... and you only need to disrupt a few places to tilt elections and balance, so they won't need to target the entire nation anyway.

They only have to impact a very small number of cities in swing states to impact an election

You voted for no war.  Trump brought war.     You voted to root out and expose corruption.  Trump has been the most openly and shamelessly corrupt President in US history.    You voted t

This would be more important if it were a presidential election though.  I don’t think he realizes how unpopular he is and ICE can’t be everywhere.

 

If GOP is losing red districts there’s is nothing he can really do to stop it

 

He probably is just hoping that they hold onto the Senate.

I'm at the point where nothing would surprise me.

In both positive and negative.  I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried it and it just failed because you have idiots running all branches of the government.

 

This has nothing to do with Iran , the Mickey Mouse DOJ run by Bondi is just getting slapped down by judges on a daily basis—-by guys nominated by all presidents, Trump included.

 

It’s just a metric ton clown show. Sorry, we passed the gigantic level a long time ago.

Asaluyeh, Iran - Israel bombed a major Iranian gas field on Wednesday in the latest escalation of a war waged jointly with the US that is threatening to spiral out of control.

The Times of Israel newspaper reported, citing government sources, that the air force had attacked Iranian gas production facilities in the south, including the largest such facility in the province of Bushehr.

 

South Pars, the largest gas field in the world, which Iran shares with Qatar, is located near Asaluyeh on the Persian Gulf. The region is central to Iran's energy sector and accounts for around 70% of the country's domestic gas supply

 

Iran's military leadership threatened to retaliate, saying "these attacks on Iran's civilian and vital infrastructure are not a military victory, but political suicide," in a statement published by the Fars news agency.

 

The time of limited battles is over, the statement continued, with the conflict moving in the direction of a "comprehensive economic war."

The Iranian state broadcaster cited gas fields and refineries in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar as possible targets for a retaliatory attack.

"These facilities have become direct and legitimate targets and will be attacked in the coming hours," it said, quoting a statement from the Iran's Revolutionary Guards.

The idiots have failed to realize that Israel has no reason to want this war to stop. The opposite actually. This type of destabilization is a part of their long term goal of carving out the dominant position in that region. They source their oil from from outside the Straights. They are of course affected by raising prices yet are simultaneously insulated with US Government revenue. This isn't a US war. This is an Israeli war with US hardware. 

 

I say that to say, the likelihood of off-ramps is diminishing by the minute.

It's called civil war you fucking idiot. Iran turning into Libya is an absolute disaster. I didn't vote for Obama in 12 because unlike you I have principles. I voted for Ron Paul because I appreciate truth and Libertarian idealism even if it doesn't scale.

 

You, on the other hand, are a little pissant who goes with the wind and talks about child rape with words like "weiner". Fuck.

The US will send Israel money no matter what the global economy is doing

Qatar said Wednesday that Iranian missiles caused "extensive damage" at Ras Laffan Industrial City, home to the largest liquefied natural gas, or LNG, export facility in the world.

It didn't take Iran long to respond as they promised after Israel attacked their gas facility.  UAE and Saudi gas facilities are supposed to be next.
