All is not well with the Malignant Fascist's cult members, and it's over his increasingly belligerent language toward Iran. Yesterday, the bullying MF told residents of Teheran to evacuate the city and that Iran's leader Ayatollah Khamanei was not going to be targeted "for now." From the BBC:
"The dilemma of whether the US should join Israel in attacking Iran, or stay out of the offensive altogether, has exposed divisions among US President Donald Trump's supporters.
The Republican president reportedly is considering helping target the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities, following a meeting with his national security advisers in the White House Situation Room on Tuesday.
On the campaign trail, Trump often railed against "stupid endless wars" in the Middle East, but also maintained that Iran "can't have a nuclear weapon".
The possibility that he might draw the US into another foreign entanglement has pitted the isolationist and hawkish wings of his party bitterly against one another. [snip]
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has called for the US to stay out of the conflict with Iran.
On his podcast, he lambasted Republican "warmongers", provoking a rebuke from Trump, who called Carlson "kooky".
Georgia congresswoman and Trump loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene leapt to Carlson's defence in a highly unusual break with the president.
She said anyone who supported such an intervention was not "America First".
The tensions exploded into a shouting match on Tuesday during an interview between Carlson and hawkish Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz became defensive when asked if he knew the population and ethnic mix of Iran.
Carlson said: "You're a senator who's calling for the overthrow of the government and you don't know anything about the country!"
Cruz retorted: "No, you don't know anything about the country!"
Steve Bannon, Trump's former political strategist, argued on Carlson's podcast that allowing the "deep state" to drive the US into a war with Iran would "blow up" the coalition of Trump supporters." (our emphasis)
Popcorn please! Any issue that would split this deranged, corrupt and authoritarian cult is welcome to us. The pro-intervention group, led by South Carolina rage monkey Sen. Lindsey "Huckleberry" Graham is calling for any action by the U.S. to bring the Iranian regime down. Right now, the MF seems to be leaning toward Graham's (and Bibi "Bomb Bomb" Netanyahu's) position, but time will tell if the tough guy MF decides to throw some late punches at Iran, now that Israel has done the most damage.
BONUS: The MF is in a spat with his incompetent, Russia-admiring intel chief Gabbard over Iran nuke status. Keep popping the popcorn!
BONUS II: More discussion of wedges in MAGAworld that we all need to exploit.
