    First of all, California has already been declared an Iranian province as a result of Straight of Trump declaration.

    California should consider rejecting US membership in protest of this… without necessarily accepting Iran’s invitation.

    Isn’t it illegal to incite violence against the citizens of the USA? Especially by the “potus”? In the normal run-by-the-US Constitution world, wouldn’t that be considered treason?

    Iran literally can’t hit the US mainland yet. That’s the sole reason for them constantly getting attacked in the first place - preferable while already in some sort of negotiations.

    Obvious propaganda is obvious.

    This is a distraction ploy, this is what his job is. Look elsewhere to see what his cabinet and the GOP are trying to get you to look away from.

    Nobody is immune to propaganda, but we can become aware of it.

      Obvious propaganda is like a Nigerian prince email. It’s only for the people who want to fall for it. I was just talking to racist grandma who would be happy with the idea that Iran bombs California.

        Turns out that a lot of people want to fall for it, sadly, not just the old folks and conservatives. Plenty here gobble it up every chance they get.

    You just know they talked about this with him. Like a false flag operation type deal. Just like with his assassination attempts.

    He just cannot keep his mouth shut about these things hoping he will be thought of as the smart one when it turns out to actually happen!!

    TRAITOR

    I mean, is this how treason works historically? It’s only widely accepted after the fact? Like, when you’re in it and actively experiencing it most people don’t acknowledge it?

    That can’t be it. People have been executed for treason. Why the fuck are we so bad at this?
