Americans woke up Saturday morning to the news that the United States and Israel unleashed a coordinated strike, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, leveling key Iranian military sites and taking out much of the regime’s top brass. Among the dead is none other than Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
It was a good day for the Middle East and the world.
Except for the Democrats.
Almost instantly, Democrats in Washington started howling, calling the strikes “illegal,” “dangerous,” and “reckless.” They claimed that President Donald Trump didn’t consult Congress. You’d think they’d be cheering the demise of one of the world’s most dangerous tyrants, but no. For the left, this wasn’t a victory against terror.

“Death to America” isn’t just a catchy slogan it is/was official Iranian state policy since 1979.
Only God knows where this will lead but there is no doubt in my mind that from an America First perspective it is entirely justified.

I see, Democrats would rather have had hundreds of American troops killed before Trump took action. Can you imagine their outcry that Trump was asleep at the wheel and is to blame for not acting sooner? Leftist Democrats are disgusting and worthless. Just shut up and go back to insider trading and committing fraud.

I really want to believe this is good and necessary, and that they had it coming, but they dont make it easy. You cant smack someone for years at every opportunity, then beat him to a pulp claiming he was about to hit you. Thats low even for a bully.

Forget about the democrats…they’ll kick and scream either way Trump acts. They’re crying because he didn’t get congressional approval, but they’d cry just as hard if Americans died because Trump didn’t act fast enough. Either way they want to impeach him because it makes them sound cool.

The article links to another article with the names of the Gang of Eight. I was surprised to see the list included Schumer, Jeffries, Thune, and Warner. Why did they not tell the press the whole truth about the reason for the Epic mission? Dems and republicans complained to the press all day yesterday, as though they hadn’t heard intel from the Gang of Eight. Why the obfuscation? Are they deliberately trying ti confuse their constituents? It’s a very unclassy way to dish out info to the public. These people are stupid.

The leftist Democrats were out in the media today, yelling about how illegal it was that Trump hit Iran because Iran had not yet attacked the USA and that Trump had not received permission from Congress beforehand, demanding that Trump appear before the entire Congress and give Congress a confidential briefing of his plans regarding future US military actions that he planned to take against Iran. Common sense will tell you that if Trump held such a briefing, that within an hour the leftist Democrats would leak those military plans to the liberal media for all the world to see. In that respect, no doubt, if Trump were to somehow cure cancer the leftist Democrats would no doubt be rabidly opposed!

Margolis' shaggy-dog headlines and pieces are growing tiresome. Present the thesis up front rather than bury it 3 paragraphs down.

Obama attack countries multiple times without informing Congress.
Spare us the selective moral outrage.

Trump cannot afford to tell Congress what he plans because Congress cannot be trusted.

If Trump had informed Congress of the attack plans, the Ayatollah would have been reading about it on Saturday as he drank his morning coffee in an underground bunker instead of being turned into a cloud of hot mist along with his lieutenants.

Have dems signed up with the “Death to America” crowd? Between supporting the brutal radical Islamist theocracy of Iran or having an ultra-corrupt political philosophy at home in the States, it sure looks like it!

# 3 The bully is Iran.

So #3, the fact that we didn’t respond to the Japanese the day after Pearl Harbor— that makes us a bully??!

Well #8, it’s been reported several times that Epic Fury was leaked beforehand, so maybe someone in the Gang of 8 was the culprit. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit.

If Congress was in on the plan Omar Ilhan would have called the Ayatollah and told him it was coming. Congress can't be trusted with the likes oh her in it. We saw how the Democrats acted at the State of the Union Speech.

Iran was planning an attack on Israel and US civilian locations. Sounds like they brought this on themselves.
