Why impeach Trump over Operation Midnight Hammer, but not Obama

[Missourian]

Sigh.... do you realize, even as you type, that this is total partisan horseshit? Can you admit that you, and the rest of MAGA would be howling (an rightfully so), if a Democrat President had done this?

Probably not.

I would not. This was the right call.

Do the right thing, I'll give you credit for it.

First it was the executive order on right to repair... Now an actual common sense illegal gun crackdown... Going after straw purchasers is some gun control I can get behind.

This will be one of those threads it will be fun to visit in six months or so.

Trump can't be impeached for this.

 

[Godboy]

Trump can't be impeached for this.

They impeached him for being a Russian spy the first time, and a second time for calling Zelenski. Apparently they can make up any reason they want to impeach him.

Well, looks like a treaty between Israel and Iran.
Thank you, Donald J. Trump.
It wouldn't have happened this quick
without the US involvement.
And a shout out to Pete Hegseth.

President Trump ordered Operation Midnight Hammer. It was executed. Now Democrats are calling for him to be impeached. That figures. Why did they not impeach Barack Obama for what he did in 2016. In 2016 President Obama "The Drone Warrior-in-Chief", without Congressional approval, dropped 26,171 bombs. That is 3 bombs per hour, 24 hours a day. For them to say that Trump should be impeached and not Obama shows that politics is what is important to them!

Another dumb false equivalence.

There was a war that was declared. do you remember the War on Terror?

The Global War on Terror is an international, American-led military campaign launched following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

 

[Moonglow]

The point is that Obama did not have Congressional approval!

Yes he did..

America Dropped 26,171 Bombs in 2016. What a Bloody End to Obama’s Reign

Good enough?

Nope...The war was ended.
The formal "war on terror" declared after the September 11th attacks has officially ended, though its legacy continues to shape global security policies and military engagements. While major combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq have concluded, counter-terrorism efforts persist in various forms, including military operations, intelligence gathering, and efforts to address the root causes of terrorism.

• Formal End of Major Conflicts:
  The United States ended major combat operations in Iraq in 2010 and in Afghanistan in 2014. The final withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan occurred in August 2021.

Where is this peace treaty?

Where is this peace treaty?

It's "aspirational".

 

[dblack]

Nation building, regime change, yada-yada - neo-cons are beaming.

Like a fart in the dark.

Silent but deadly!

Trump won't be impeached for this

Wishful left loon thinking

 

[Mac1958]

LOL - and do you realize you're also pointing out the hypocrisy of Republicans?

The last thing either end will admit is how similar they can be to the other end.

Probably not.

Democratic Presidents have done this and even worse! How bad is your memory?

 

[dblack]

Democratic Presidents have done this ...

That's exactly my point.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

That's exactly my point.

Not for that reason. You said: "Can you admit that you, and the rest of MAGA would be howling (and rightfully so), if a Democrat President had done this?"

We would not be claiming that it was unconstitutional. If a Democrat did it, we would be upset because it was probably stupid!
