I never understood this logic. How does it help to shift the discussion to something even worse?

Trump winning in 2016 has caused even people to hate him to think he is some master strategist when he would be fairly popular and a shoe in for reelection if he would stop saying stupid s*** every 5 seconds or walking into a new scandal every couple days.

It is a horrible tweet, but it is just a tweet. Remember when he tweeted that transgenders were no longer welcome in the military?

Trump isn't a master strategist, but he's better than people give him credit for. The people who support him don't care about his tweets, they know they are specifically meant to do things like this. Trump is nuts, but he's not that crazy. The military wouldn't even carry out such an attack.

You can't even find "impeachment" anywhere on CNN today. Pelosi is already pushing legislation to limit Trump's powers. So, we're already validating it by "debating" it.

Condone it publicly, but do everything in the frame of impeachment. "We think this kind of threat is detrimental to the country, especially with a President who has been impeached". "Impeached Presidents shouldn't be making threats over twitter". You can react to it without letting it steer the narrative.

I hate to tell you too, but Joe Six Pack doesn't care about bombing Iran, and they certainly don't care about a tweet that suggests the possibility.

But the tweet specifically isn't what is distracting everyone. Its what's going on with Iran. I don't disagree with what you are saying about reminding people that he is impeached but impeachment should take a back burner to what is going on.

The people that don't care about Iran also don't care about impeachment.

Iran needs to be addressed, but I've seen a ton of press and politicians screaming about "war crimes". Bombing cultural sites would absolutely be that, but tweeting about it? While I agree with people, it paints "the left" as the unhinged people they want. They want this binary decision of left vs right. You have to be very careful not to take "Iran's side" in this.

Back burner, but not complete abandonment.

Be critical of his actions, not of his "war crime tweet". It is a subtle difference but an important one.

His followers don't see his tweets.

Many would paint being humane as being "one of them" at this point.

Trump has an 11 AM EST speech. I'm sure it'll come off collected, because it's going to be a prepared speech with no questions asked afterwards.

Just hoping we don't retaliate and last night was the end of this.

He sounded like he was drunk, and he lied though his dentures.
