There is a particular indignity that comes from living in America, derived from the experience of waking up in the morning to see reports that Donald Trump has said something profoundly evil, and then needing to type "truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump" into your web browser to see if he actually said that. Once there, you can see a post in which Trump did indeed threaten to wipe out the entire civilization of Iran, stacked on top of an ad for a sketchy herbal supplement of some sort:

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

Unfortunately, this time it really is.

It absolutely is not. At the VERY least, the entirety of the republican party is to blame for sucking PedoTUS's dick so hard he thinks he can nuke Iran. His cabinet could 25th him and get rid of him right now. Republicans in congress could impeach him (which wouldn't be nearly as quick, but they could make it move if they actually cared).

Do not let those assholes do a face turn and forget that they were more than happy to support trump until the ship was damn near sunk.
