Pompeo tried do downplay trump's comments about targeting cultural sites.

just saw this reported on twitter-

Trump to reporters on AF1 contradicts Pompeo on Iran:

“They’re allowed to kill our people? They’re allowed to torture and maim our people, they’re allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people? And we’re not allowed to touch their cultural sites? It doesn’t work that way”

It’s so bizarre and stupid. 

it is infuriating. 

i can't get away from him and his stupidity. i do not follow him on twitter, but all i hear every single day from the media and my friends is all of the stupid shit he is doing. there is nobody to check him. nobody to stop him. nobody to prevent him from embarrassing our country. nobody to steer him in a more reasonable direction. where are all the patriots? something needs to be done now. he is in so deep now that he is going to act and do something stupid and it is going to hurt or kill a lot of people. and there are people around him who are going to sit there and let it all happen.

there was a funeral procession for the general today. it stretched some 20 km. i am kind of surprised that trump did not have a drone strike called in for that procession. seems like something he would do.

I saw Iran put an 80 million bounty on Trump's head

how do you suppose that works?

Is it like NPR where I can make a donation to help match?

Is there a fund I can contribute to?

As much as you dislike trump this is definitely crossing the line.  As an American You can’t wish a foreign country to harm our president. 

I'm just saying, $80 million seems high

But at the same time, not enough

Now Trump is threatening sanctions of Iraq forces us out.  The lunacy just escalates.

A couple Twitter threads I've found interesting from people who seem to have a handle on the region. First one:

And I haven't seen anyone link to this yet. Apologies if it's already been posted. Pretty comprehensive profile of the guy from 2013. This part in particular is nuts:

Since then, Suleimani has orchestrated attacks in places as far flung as Thailand, New Delhi, Lagos, and Nairobi—at least thirty attempts in the past two years alone. The most notorious was a scheme, in 2011, to hire a Mexican drug cartel to blow up the Saudi Ambassador to the United States as he sat down to eat at a restaurant a few miles from the White House. The cartel member approached by Suleimani’s agent turned out to be an informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. (The Quds Force appears to be more effective close to home, and a number of the remote plans have gone awry.)

This is a bad take. You can’t be against what trump did and be ok with a bounty on his head from a foreign country. Well you can, but you’d be a gigantic hypocrite.

Trump himself has suggested within the 52 sites the Ayatollah and all the mullahs could be targets, The President, Parliament.....

while it isnt a bounty offered, assassinations of government officials and religious leaders at that is the more serious in my view.....

not discounting the bounty, if true....

What I’m just saying that’s it’s stupid to be surprised by Iran’s reaction ! I’m for peace period I’m not ok with a bounty on anyone’s head

It was the guy giving the eulogy. Said he'd raise it by asking every one of 80 million citizens to give $1. Some people are blowing it out of proportion.

i wonder how long until he tweets that he has "a tremendous bounty, a bounty like nobody's ever seen before."

seriously, though. what did he think they were going to do? it is basically a fatwa, is it not?

to be 100% honest, i would be infuriated if a country put a bounty on any prior president's head. even w bush.  but not this guy. not trump.

this guy made his own bed. he has single handedly set the table to what it is now by his own actions. he blew up the iran deal on purpose. he alienated and insulted every single one of our allies in favor of pleasing putin. he assassinated a very powerful political and military figure against recommendations from his advisors. he has divided this country and lied to us every single day for nearly 5 years. he has grifted the american people by using our tax dollars to fund his businesses and his pleasure excursions to mar a lago. he has broken the emoluments clause. he has committed crimes that he has been impeached for. he was not legitimately elected. as far as i am concerned, he is nothing.

he has the greatest security in the world and nothing will ever happen to him. it is basically symbolic at this point.

"Trump only won the election because a bunch of low information rubes believed a bunch of crap on social media. Also, did you hear about the bounty???"

This is a party driven conflict.

this is not a country driven conflict

the gop has had it in for Iran for years, from bomb bomb Iran to  trump personally escalating tensions

the republicans start another Mid East war my beloved country can go f*ck itself

let the red states pay for it all. Let the trump family and all its donors fight it

time for tea party 2

the red states unfortunately can't even pay their bills. many of the red states get more tax money sent to them than they pay in. 

but i agree. let the trump supporters sign up and go fight. i saw that there was a significant increase in google searches for potential draft requirements, so people are getting scared and taking this seriously.
