I warned you that Donald Trump would try this
– No surprise Trump is hinting at bombing Iran. I warned you that Trump would threaten to go out with a bang, in the hope of scaring someone somewhere into giving him an immunity deal. It’s an empty threat. If Trump actually tries something like that, he guarantees the most negative possible outcome for himself, which isn’t what he wants – so he’s not going to do it. But he wants to scare us into thinking he just might. We defeated Trump by not cowering to his empty threats; let’s not start cowering now.
– Because the media is still portraying Trump as somehow immortal in defeat, most of you haven’t figured out yet that Mitch McConnell is now running the show in the Republican Party, not Trump. If and when McConnell decides Trump is standing in the way of the GOP’s chances in the Georgia runoffs, he’ll (selfishly) finish Trump off.
– Even more motivation for the Democrats to win the Georgia Senate runoffs: if we flip the Senate, then Lindsey Graham will no longer be Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Donate to Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock here.
