Democrats Crossing The Line: Giving Aid And Comfort To America’s Sworn Enemies

During the 5 o’clock hour on Saturday, President Trump tweeted a thread that reads, “Iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain USA assets as revenge for our ridding the world of their terrorist leader who had just killed an American, & badly wounded many others, not to mention all of the people he had killed over his lifetime, including recently, hundreds of Iranian protesters. He was already attacking our Embassy and preparing for additional hits in other locations. Iran has been nothing but problems for many years. Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!”

Shortly thereafter, three dipshit Democrats aghast that Trump would take decisive action against a barbaric killer of American troops and innocents, chimed in to denounce the President’s warning.

Pocahontas tweeted, “You are threatening to commit war crimes. We are not at war with Iran. The American people do not want a war with Iran. This is a democracy. You do not get to start a war with Iran, and your threats put our troops and diplomats at greater risk. Stop.”

The Bronx Bolshevik tweeted, “This is a war crime. Threatening to target and kill innocent families, women and children—which is what you’re doing by targeting cultural sites—does not make you a ‘tough guy.’ It does not make you ‘strategic.’ It makes you a monster.”

Ilhan Omar (D-Somalia) of “some people did something” fame tweeted, “The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes on Twitter. God help us all! #25thAmendment

I do not profess to be a scholar of the law or the Constitution, but I do know when elected officials of my government are giving aid and comfort to the sworn enemies of my country.  So, what does the U.S. Constitution tell us?

Article 3, Section 3, Clause 1 declares, that adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving them aid and comfort, shall be treason. Any act that deliberately strengthens or tends to strengthen enemies of United States or that weakens or tends to weaken the power of United States to resist and attack such enemies is characterized as aid and comfort.

Aid and comfort may consist of substantial assistance or the mere attempt to provide some support. Actual help or the success of the enterprise is not relevant. [emphasis mine]

During Droney McPeacePrize Obama’s two terms in office, he authorized 542 drone strikes killing an estimated 3,797 people, including 324 civilians in non-battlefield settings in Yemen, Pakistan and Somalia. He reportedly told senior aides in 2011, “Turns out I’m really good at killing people.  Didn’t know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine.”

And, who can forget the assassination of Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi in 2011?

Where was the outrage back then?  No one was clutching their pearls because it was their messiah; their Lightbringer.

General David Petreaus said in an interview with Foreign Policy magazine, “It is impossible to overstate the importance of this particular action [killing Quds commander Qassem Soleimani].  It is more significant than the killing of Osama bin Laden or even the death Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.”

Just when you thought the crybaby snowflakes on the left had reached peak retard enters corpulent tub of shit Michael Moore:
Following Iran’s boast it had placed an $80 million bounty on Trump’s head and threatened to attack the White House, the President tweeted: 

After 40 years of a secret war that has been waged in the shadows, one thing is clear:  Iran thrives on threats to harass and intimidate its enemies.  It knows the regime will collapse if all-out war comes its way. It murdered 1,500 protesters in November precisely because they fear the rising anger of average people in Iran. Where was the spontaneous outpouring of anger over Soleimani’s death? There were no million-man protests in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Iran, of people rushing to the streets. They waited for the regime or their militia commanders to tell them how to protest. This is evidence that Iran’s role in the Middle East may be weakening and that even though it will respond, it must decide wisely how to do so.

President Trump has made certain of that.

“General Betray Us” And The Cries For Help In Benghazi


“And so Petraeus was seduced by a Democratic political operative. Hubris. Now his mighty reputation is soiled beyond repair, his marriage is likely sundered, his prospects on the lecture circuit zilch. This is what Democrats do to the gullible, and the prideful. Don't ever get in bed with these scorpions. They are vile creatures, with no conscience and no soul.”—Velociworld

Paula Broadwell, the alleged paramour of CIA Director David Petraeus, was speaking at her alma mater on October 26th when she confirmed the information that Fox News had been reporting just days after the September 11, 2012 attack on the “consulate” in Benghazi where four Americans were abandoned to die at the hands of savages.

In her “Alumni Symposium 2012—Paula Broadwell”, she said the CIA annex asked for a special unit, the Commander-in-Chief’s In Extremis Force, to come and assist it.  She also said that the force could indeed have reinforced the consulate, and that Petraeus knew all of this [within 24 hours], but was not allowed to talk to the press because of his position in the CIA, according to Israel National News.

During the symposium, in a question and answer session, Broadwell was asked about the fatal September 11 attacks against the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

She said, “Now, I don’t know if a lot of you heard this, but the CIA annex had actually taken a couple of Libya militia members prisoner. And they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try to get these prisoners back. So that’s still being vetted.”

Did you get that?  There was a U.S. prison or CIA detention center in Benghazi.  This is the smoking gun.  This is clearly why the West Wing sent out Susan Rice to lie on all five Sunday talk shows claiming our countrymen were brutally murdered because of a video.

A spokesman for the CIA said, “The CIA has not had detention authority since January 2009, when Executive Order 13491 was issued. Any suggestion that the Agency is still in the detention business is uninformed and baseless.”

The CIA’s denial came just hours after Arutz Sheva, an Israeli news outlet, first published a partial transcript of Broadwell’s speech.

The Daily Beast reports, “On Friday, her personal website and Facebook page were scrubbed from the Internet. (The Washington Post reported Sunday that “Officers close to Petraeus grew concerned about her posts on Facebook, which they believed sometimes divulged sensitive operational details.”)

In my post of November 10th, I covered the assertion made by John Batchelor that when Petraeus testified on the Hill he was not under oath and did not correct the public record regarding the attack.

During an October 16th interview, Denver’s WUSA-TV reporter Kyle Clark asked President Obama a two-part question: “Were the Americans under attack at the consulate in Benghazi, Libya denied requests for help during that attack, and is it fair to tell Americans that what happened is under investigation until after the election?” 

“Well, we are finding out exactly what happened,” the president again said. “I can tell you, as I’ve said over the last couple of months since this happened, the minute I found out what was happening, I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, we’re going to investigate exactly what happened so that it doesn’t happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice. And I guarantee you that everyone in the state department, our military, the CIA, you name it, had number one priority making sure that people were safe. These were our folks and we’re going to find out exactly what happened, but what we’re also going to do it make sure that we are identifying those who carried out these terrible attacks.”

If the president did, in fact, issue those orders where are they?  Let’s see them.

There is a bitter irony that, on this Veterans Day, when our military heroes are honored for their service that one of America’s most vaunted generals has become “General Betray Us.”
