The Democrats finally have a legitimate issue on which they could justify impeaching the orange man. He ordered the assassination of Iran’s top military commander General Qassem Soleimani, an act which could push us into a major war.
This is certainly an impeachable offense and it is obviously a very big deal. It’s certainly far more of an impeachable offense than all this bullshit they’ve whined about involving Russia and Ukraine. But none of them are pushing this angle. The main talking point they’re pushing is how they object to the technicalities of the killing and not the killing itself.
Even the kike Adam Schiff who has been hellbent on impeaching the orange man, merely said that he should have informed Congress. Outside of that, he seems perfectly fine with the assassination and is not linking it to his impeachment efforts.
Soleimani was responsible for unthinkable violence and world is better off without him.
But Congress didn’t authorize and American people don’t want a war with Iran.
All steps must now be taken to protect our forces against the almost inevitable escalation and increased risk. https://t.co/Z4HTnScFg7

Nancy Pelosi said pretty much the same thing.
The Trump Admin has conducted strikes in Iraq targeting high-level Iranian military officials and killing Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani without an AUMF against Iran. Further, this action was taken without the consultation of the Congress.

Democrat presidential candidates were a little more forceful with their criticism but in general did not object to the assassination.
Joe Biden said that the assassination was justified but expressed fear it could lead to a larger conflict.

Elizabeth Warren condemned General Soleimani as a murderer and like Biden feared it could spiral into a larger conflict.
Soleimani was a murderer, responsible for the deaths of thousands, including hundreds of Americans. But this reckless move escalates the situation with Iran and increases the likelihood of more deaths and new Middle East conflict. Our priority must be to avoid another costly war.

But neither of them really condemned the assassination and both highlighted what a supposedly bad man General Soleimani was.
Tulsi Gabbard has been really the only Democrat presidential candidate who has condemned the assassination. She was on Fox and Friends this morning calling it an unconstitutional act of war much to the dismay of the warmongering hosts of the show.
The main point to all this is that you shouldn’t expect to see any major resistance from the Democrats as the country slowly spirals into a war with Iran. Both major political parties are fully supportive of waging wars for Israel and since Iran is a major enemy of Israel, they will ultimately support a war against them. The human and financial cost of such wars are of little consequence to them.
