"You can assume, because it's common sense" -- Mike Johnson claims Trump's war on Iran is actually defensive because if Israel attacked Iran, Iran was going to retaliate against the US

Why wasn’t there any more pressure on Israel applied when you knew this would happen? Trump just wanted to bomb Iran with Hegseth jumping on it like a kid playing a video game. If the both have any balls they would now visit the US troops in the Gulf. But alas they lack the courage of a Zelensky

“The intelligence was exquisite. It was staggeringly beautiful. The intelligence…it was breathtaking. It was exquisite and breathtaking, and I love it so much, I do. I…I kiss it. I kiss it over and over. With my eyes closed, I do. And if you mock my love for it, I will fight you. Be warned.”

How do I invoke the castle doctrine for killing this man in a bar that was looking at my wife? Because if I had shown him where my house was, and told him that the door was unlocked and that there was a wad of cash in a coffee can in the freezer, he would have broken into my house to steal it.

Johnson is the kind of person wealthy people feel surrounded by all the time: He'll say and do anything to ingratiate himself, hoping that he can keep the McCrumbs that fall off Trump's table.

Recent Ai war machine puff peace on US company and US military partnership. bsky.app/profile/wash...

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

To strike 1,000 targets in 24 hours in Iran, the U.S. military leveraged the most advanced AI it’s ever used in warfare. Anthropic’s Claude partnered with the military’s Maven Smart System, suggesting targets and issuing precise location coordinates. https://wapo.st/46BFe1T

Right, so it's Zionist Israel's fault US taxpayers are paying through the nose for a war that will not benefit us and US military members are dying for a war with a country that isn't threatening our borders. Got it.

Yet Trump is on Truth Social bragging about curtains for his ballroom while 4 service members are dead! He’s a piece of crap!

"the gang that couldn't shoot straight" is currently being used to describe the Trump administration's rapid escalation into a military conflict with Iran. originally from a 1969 novel about bumbling mobsters, suggesting Trump policy is disorganized, contradictory, or strategically incoherent.

* Donald Trump's war in Iran is a Jeffrey Epstein files Deflection, & Benjamin Netanyah's re-Election 2026. Both Aged Old Men too old to be ruling over the world within their own corruption. Trump 79 years old Benjamin Netanyahu 76 years. Both wasting the last years of their lives. *

Next Netanyahu is going to claim his attack was also defensive because if Trump attacked Iran, Iran was going to retaliate against Israel. Covering each other's asses -kinda like that old crime called 'Check Kiting'

The Vietnam War began with 64% public approval, then dropped significantly as the conflict continued, ending in only 29% approving of the intervention. The beginning of the Iran War is at 27% public approval.

I can't help but feel war is pretext to calling a national emergency. Trump has recently laid the groundwork by claiming Iran interfered in two elections with no evidence. Is this their plan to spoil the midterms?

They're pushin John Yoo's (of 2003 torture memo fame) unitary exec theory BS as "authority." bsky.app/profile/digi...

Now Comrade ain't askin 4 a #WarPowersAct vote, cuz it knows it'll fail. One of its congressional minions just cited A2 as its power 2 strike #Iran. And it's not #war cuz there's no boots on ground. It's A2 authority? John Yoo #DoJ OLC 2003, justifier of torture memo. irp.fas.org/agency/doj/o...

So we had to attack Iran because Israel was going to attack, and Iran would have retaliated against the US, which would have caused the US to retaliate against Iran. Clearest reason for war I've ever heard

"Yes, officer, I sucker punched that Persian man because my Jewish friend over there was going to sucker punch him first and I was afraid the Persian man would then hit me of which I would have been unprepared for, except I did know what was going to happen before the Persian man did." Is that it?

OMG, what a tool for Trump. Israel is the country which bombed Iran in December, along with us! If anything WE threatened Iran. There are legitimate security issues concerning Iran, but any assault should have been done in consultation and warning our allies, congress and US citizens abroad.

So basically, the USA is going to "eventually" attack Greenland so the EU could choose to bomb the White House. They (EU) would be absolutely just under that logic. Or maybe Russia feels that the EU is going to attack them eventually so Putin might as well just attack first. So fucking idiotic.

They just keep lying and spinning tales hoping that we will not be able to keep track of it all and give up resisting. Welp, we WONT

No wonder his Law School went out of business before it opened with this guy as Dean. So he's saying it is okay to use lethal force on something the other guy "might do" if provoked. That's no defense and if this guy is a lawyer, he knows it. Just MAGA gaslighting is all this is...

Well don’t let Pete hear that, he said this morning it’s not about defense, it’s about lethality. And little Marco said it’s not about regime change, but his boss said it is. In defense of Mike though, he probably didn’t know anything about any of that, he’s very busy.

This motherfucker does not get the EXCUSE of being stupid. He knows EXACTLY what he is saying. He is lying, lying, lying - he's in the top 10 per cent of the worst of the worst of them. GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

F*cking liar says what? 🙄 They think we’re so stupid. 🤬 And also, they just don’t give a f*ck about what the American people want or don’t want. 🤬

And if I punch you in the face it is defensive because someday someone (not me!) would punch you in the face and you would take revenge on me. This must never happen, so I will proactively defend myself by striking first. Brilliant.

No one wants to spell out what they're truly saying... both him and Rubio Israel essentially strong armed America into attacking Iran .....with whispers already flying that Israel threatened to use a nuke on Iran if America wouldn't help (no proof at this point)

Normally at media spews like this the designated bloviator usually has a bevy of marks nodding behind them like toy drinking birds. The best MJ could muster is one stoic guy looking like Michael Shannon right after somebody told him his dog died.

So what would be the appropriate response to the threats of annexing Canada? Do we do something similar in the name of self defence? Or is this something only America is allowed to do?

Every time Mike Johnson might show the slightest shred of dignity in rejecting the lies he has to tell for the Trump admin, he backs away. So strange to see. He's got to be one of the smallest people in the world.

Oh, oh, Markwayne said that this is not a war. Next—Ron Johnson , Coach Tuberville and Lindsey Graham will be invited to the podium. How bout just a tremendous round of applause from our studio audience!

I mean at some point you think you’d be sick of having to look like an idiot to run block for a pedo narcissist. I wouldn’t take this much from a family member.

I don’t know maybe we should get our troops out of harms way get them out of there and if Israel wants to keep being stupid and bombing everybody then let Israel deal with it. They’re the ones who wanna play this stupid war game let them get fucking blown up who cares anymore?

I’m surprised he even heard about it. Isn’t that his normal schtick, that he doesn’t know or hasn’t read anything about whatever and will “get back to us later”?
