    San Diego is the home of the pacific fleet, second largest US navel base. It is also home of Camp Pendleton, west coast headquarters for the marine corps. Between San Diego and Los Angeles is the Seal Beach Navel Weapons station, a major munitions depot.

    What a fucking moron.

    Ah, but they vote Democrat, so they must be enemies of America. Iran would be doing America a favor by taking them out.

    Assuming there's even the slightest trace of thought process going on here.

    Yes. That has been a theme of his presidency of you're just tuning in.

    I don't disagree but there are (shit) arguments that most of what he's done isn't treasonous. It's a high bar to clear but this clear as fucking day clears it.

    He is offering a consolation which would cause harm to the American people, which aids and abets a foreign adversary.

    We can say the qatar jet is treasonous, for example. Hed win that case. Hed certainly lose this one.

    I am saying here and now that this gaffe might actually land Donnie behind bars, if he doesn't die first. This will be what they focus on. It's the clearest example.

    They're now trying to back track and say that he "clearly" meant that Iran would have done that if we didn't invade.

    “They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego,” he told a rowdy crowd of Nebraska Republicans Monday night.

    If just these regions were to secede and take their military instillation with them, theyʻd be one of the most powerful navy in the world. The fuck are we even talking about?

    Republicans have gotten so used to losing and calling it winning that they think this is ok.

    I'm reasonably sure that's treason and given he's the commander in chief should be courts martialed and executed.

    Keep in mind that Mar-a-Lago is easier to reach for Iran...

    Does he or anyone seriously believe Iran has the ability or will anytime soon have the ability to attack the American mainland? Why?

    Like the Iranians could possibly due an attack on the mainland, but that'd look closer to the IRA doing attacks in England than anything else. Maybe if they got their hands on enough combustible materials you could see a port or something leveled using pre-existing materials to amplify the blast but that's about the max.

    There's speculation he's going to attack one of the cities and blame Iran, and use it as pretense to declare a state of emergency. A part of me thinks I'm being irrational but a part of me just knows something really crazy is going to happen soon. It's giving me a lot of anxiety. Whatever crazy thing is going to happen...I'm just tired of the uncertainty. We've already had a lot of shocking events this year caused by Trump. Venezuela. Iran. Cuba. What next?

    Better to link to the original article.

    Edit: Without using the original URL, there's no way of knowing if an MSN article is from a reputable source such as the Associated Press or from a right-wing source such as the Daily Wire before clicking on it.
