You know things are getting bad for Trump and the Republican Party when freaking Tucker Carlson is advising military members not to commit war crimes for Trump.
The MAGA movement is falling apart before our very eyes. After the Republican Party loses badly in November (and they will), you may actually see enough Republican Senators who will now be willing to hedge their bets on President JD Vance and vote to remove the mentally ill Trump from office in an impeachment trial.

Carlson advised Trump's military aides to reject any plan to slaughter Iranian civilians, including through the potential use of a nuclear weapon.
"Now it’s time to say no, absolutely not, and say it directly to the president, no," Carlson said on his podcast.
Jenna Ellis, who was an attorney for Trump's 2020 campaign, said Trump's Truth Social post threatening Iranian civilization read to her "like a president who feels increasingly invincible — and that should concern everyone."
"What I saw in his first term, and what this post reinforces, is that he approaches governing the way he approached New York real estate: find the loophole, bypass the restriction, and do what you want anyway," she told NBC News. "The rhetoric here is strikingly expansive and, at points, unmoored. When you pair that tone with an apparent belief that executive authority is unconstrained, it raises serious concerns about decision-making in one of the most volatile geopolitical contexts in the world.”
Carlson is one of a number of conservatives who have framed their dissatisfaction with Trump in religious terms, saying the president's words and actions fly in the face of Christianity. After Trump posted to social media on Easter Sunday with a profane call for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping channel for international commerce, Carlson admonished his own followers.
"Desecrating Easter was the first step toward nuclear war," Carlson wrote on X. "Christians need to understand where Trump is taking us."
