TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops. CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

Did Tapper just try to reprimand Sen Murphy into falling in line with how the media will characterize Dem votes against funding? What do we even call this type of pre-capitulation?

What he didn’t say (have the guts to say) was “by Republicans” or “by the administration” Go to name them, call them out for disingenuousness not just make it a nebulous “they” or a passive “will be cast as”

Many County police departments in the north require a Bachelor's degree. Especially if they want promotions. That's the only reason I can think of. Also fvck Tapper. This guy is the reason we have what we have. They pretended he was normal during elections and his policies were not crazy.

I think there’s a difference between Tapper providing commentary and Tapper asking a question. Murphy was allowed to respond and easily smack down the idea.

Litterally the same pathetic lies from neo cons gave us 25 years ago. “They have WMDs” “If you dont support unchecked power to carry out this war, you don’t support the troops” How long til we get the freedom fries back?

Maybe a moment of thought for the Constitution might be in order… A side benefit of following the constitutional process for going to war is some assurance about funding. The Rs have their BBB & $1T+ for the DoD. They can find the money. Supporting the constitution is supporting the troops.

the stupid son of Ellison doesn't need to buy CNN as long as Tapper is in CNN. not much to say if the nation can be fooled by Tapper's fraudulent talk. just wait for FAFO.

WHERE IS CONGRESS? Trump is waging an illegal war in Iran, and Americans are dying. Article I belongs to the People, not the President. Email, Fax or USPS Congress to demand an end to the strikes & immediate accountability: resist.bot/petitions/PA... 🚨🇺🇸 #WarPowers #NoWarWithIran #Impeach

Tippy Tapper's new book, how not dying for a made up war to cover a Pedophiles ass is un-American. Coming soon, watch for the minute-by-minute butt-plug of his new unholy book. 🚬😎

I remember Stephen Colbert interviewing Tapper more than once on the Late Show, and he seemed a straight shooter. But with the publishing of a book that fixated solely on Biden's age, he wound up serving only his publisher, himself, and Trump's chances in the election.

He's straight up threatening him. CNN isn't our friends, Democrats These people want nothing more than to see the Democratic party utterly destroyed and ripped from history. Tapper is an evil and nefarious force in media and American life

Just Tapper pushing Republican narratives with no regard for his journalistic responsibility. He's a pathetic waste of air/time. Murphy, like other smart, patriotic Dems before him, somehow resists punching Tapper in the head. Pity.

'If you vote against spending trillions to kill people in a pointless and illegal war started by a lunatic pederast, well, we'll try our damnedest to make sure that doesn't go well for you' is the absolute apotheosis of Western media.

Tapper is losing any respect that I ever had for him. Trump arrogantly & illegally started this “war”, at behest of Israel I’m sure. No more monies. Wars so rarely produce good or long-lasting effects.

Tapper is just a high level shit flinger, the stinker the shit he throws the higher the ratings he gets. He doesn't give a shit one way or another what is right or wrong, he is good in his little world, Fk the rest of us.

"The troops"--and I used to be one--know quite well the money is not going to go where it is really needed to support them, so people like Tapper can fuck right off.

Wow Tapper what a take. When did you sell your soul to the 🍊 man? And just to be clear, you are not a journalist. Not even close. You’re a “tv personality” at best and that’s insulting those with an actual personality. Do us all a favor and step off.

Look at Jake--immediately starting with MAGA propaganda disguised as a question. This is exactly the kind of bullshit that got us into Iraq and that disaster. If you don't support a bogus war, you're not supporting the troops? That's exactly what they said with Iraq.

Where did you find this? I felt we’ve lost more troops and they are lying about it…6 in two weeks is not realistic

Each day I think I can't hate Tapper more, but here we are and I am hating him more today! We does Tapper think another 50 bil is going to come from??? Do we keep bankrupting the country, for a war started on a feeling?? Only the non billionaires are paying taxes. The well will run dry soon!!!

I don't agree with this war it gives me a sick feeling, I'm afraid Trump is using our troops for something disgusting. Something for Trump's own agenda. If we find out that Trump has an ulterior motive he should be tried for at least six murders

It's a political trap, and part of the plan. If you vote for the funds, you're voting in favor of an illegal war. If you vote against the funds, you're voting against supporting the troops. Maybe Democrats should just abstain from the vote, then the Great Fascist Party can be blamed.

Funny how they always frame it like this but the 50B is to buy more bombs and missiles to line their buddies pockets. Its not for the troops.

We have had seven soldiers die so far. Yet, we have still not heard a coherent reason why we are attacking Iran. The reality is looking more plausible that trump is willing to start wars and kill soldiers just to avoid accountability for Epstein. Worse, repubs are cowardly helping him do so.

An AI, namely Claude that is used for target selection of the targets for the US during this war. It doesn't discriminate between old information and current information when selecting targets. This is what happened in the bombing that killed all the schoolgirls in Iran.

When Republicans voted against funding SNAP, Medicaid, that vote was cast as their voting against food & healthcare for poor citizens? When Republicans won’t hold Bondi in contempt for not releasing all the Epstein files, isn’t that a silent vote for pedophiles?

If they vote for the war, they are voting for Trump's made up excuses being valid ... when they absolutely know he's lying or Trump would have already explained why, why now, why do the reasons keep changing. Trump is lying, period ... he won't stop on his own, so make him stop!
