Hegseth says 'the ceasefire is not over' after U.S., Iran exchange fire

Until he is dead, Trump will never ever, ever, lose any support.  Then, no one will have liked the guy. 

We only fight on Weekends to manipulate the Stock Market 

Trump ended four Iran wars in just one year. No other president could do that.

Their free War subscription ran out so they put in a different email address so they could get another free subscription

Nah it's just a regular war, just a week of different lies - that it's not happening

Iran will call that bluff and start hitting bases again, while simultaneously putting out Lego videos calling congress worthless.

Let’s sign the Rs death warrant. Let’s sign that AUMF.

Quarter quell

I can imagine that your enemy knowing exactly when you are going to cease fire is a bit of a tactical hamstringing.

The blockade to stop blockades and the fire to ensure cease fire. It’s upside down time! 🙃

>So we have entered the era of the quarterly war? Fight for two month, ceasefire for one, then back at it? From the start of the War Powers Resolution era, Presidential advisors have recommended salami slicing hostilities into a series of discrete actions and resolutions. You don't need to take a one month break even. You can advise Congress of one outbreak of hostilities, conduct operations for two months, declare that operation complete, and then the next day some new discrete event can happen. >The crazy part is the Rs will let him walk all over them. They are drafting up war powers now. >He's afraid the dems will slow down any authorization and he will hemorage support and ratings, so he is trying to avoid a fight where he is actually in the superior but not invunerable, position. The honest truth is that neither party wishes to stop the war. The fight is over whether the Democrats can make the Reublicans own the war. Their dream outcome is the Republicans killing the filibuster in order to pass an authorization for the use of military force against Iran. Meanwhile, the Republicans are content for the President to flount the law, while using their control of Congress to make a formal legal challenge difficult to stick. Basically, Congress is engaged in petty nonsense, rather than honestly debating the war.

They can’t be war crimes if we were never at war!

R’s losing big is already assumed, that’s why they’re working so hard to gerrymander before midterms.  And why the election fraud angle is already being worked so hard. 

>could be argued that it would start another 60 day window for "defensive" operations Which is also why they have "ended" Operation Epic Fury and have begun Operation Project Freedom. The ceasefire was on Op EF while Op PF is just getting started so they are going to argue it's two separate operations with two separate 60 day clocks. It's like restarting your free trial under a new email every 30 days so you never have to pay for a subscription

End of every week: "War is over" Start of every week: "War is not over" It is very predictable at this point.

Ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Also never started somehow because congress hasn’t declared a war yet…

Feels very Orwellian

It's not a war right up the moment you lose. THEN it's a war.

They literally said the oil tanks at the UAE port did not get hit in the press conference when it 100% did get hit.

I'm not so sure, attending prestigious schools is no guarantee of anything besides potential for good connections. Attacking Iran was a colossal strategic mistake, beyond foolish.
