The Conservative Cave

After Election Day went against the Republican Party, pundits lined up to ridicule President Donald Trump for going to war with Iran. Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana, however, described classified intelligence that placed the president's decision in a far more urgent light.
...
Kennedy said he had personally reviewed classified intelligence, although he limited his public description to a general outline. “Our intelligence, here’s what our intelligence showed, and I’ve seen it. It’s classified, but I’ve seen it. But I can give you a general outline,” he said.

That intelligence, according to Kennedy, showed Iran expanding both its ballistic and cruise missile capacity. The buildup also included drones that could be used alongside the growing missile arsenal.
“Our intelligence showed that Iran was building up its missile capacity, both ballistic and cruise, and they were going to compile so many missiles and drones that they were going to turn to America and Israel and say, ‘We’re restarting our nuclear weapons program. And if you try to stop us, we’re going to destroy the rest of the Middle East. And by the way, our missiles can now reach London and Paris, Paris and Germany,’” he said.
Kennedy said Trump had already bombed some Iranian nuclear facilities when he confronted the larger question of whether to allow the missile and drone buildup to continue. The intelligence also raised the possibility that Iran might eventually gain the ability to strike the United States.

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Monday to end a lower court blockade that sought to stop President Trump’s border wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson would have allowed the blockade to remain in place.

In its per curiam ruling, the high court granted an emergency application by the Trump administration to temporarily pause an Oct. 2 ruling by District Judge Kathleen Cardone. The Bush 43 appointee issued a preliminary injunction preventing the government from constructing border wall in the Big Bend region of Southwest Texas.

The case deals with a series of waivers that former and current Department of Homeland Security Secretaries Kristi Noem and Markwayne Mullin signed to set aside various conservation and environmental laws that blocked the wall in the Big Bend area, which includes the region’s national park. According to U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer, the secretaries made the decision in accordance with federal immigration law after determining that the Big Bend region “is an area of high illegal entry” that required construction.

Well, Lard Lumpy has changed his mind?

He now says that the something is wrong with the results of the midterm elections. Stating something is not right the Democrats taking both the House and Senate and somehow won so bigly!

Well, Lard Lumpy? There is a huge mitigated difference! The GOBers and Independents were the deciding factors in the election which caused you to become a lame duck excuse for a moron.

Yet, I fear that you will pull some stupid stunt and somehow cause issues before the next Congress is seated?

No one stole anything, but you! Stolen valor, stolen taxes, stole just everything you ever got your hands on!

You know that you’re in trouble and all you can do is lie and advert the attention from your illegitimate schemes. Times up and yes reckoning day is coming soon enough!

The Dems could very well save the Republicans' electoral chances, if the latter can get their act together.

If.
