As if Trump didn’t make enough of a mess. Now he could end up being the 21st century Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

But they have to use port-a-potties outside or the corner coffee restrooms.

The US should not concern itself with this. Trump made his bed..

Reminder of the lovely memes that came from the MAGA brigades as a result of the idiotic "lock her up" rhetoric.

If you are ambivalent about US officials being assassinated, I'd gently suggest that you may also want to start shopping for a new country to call home. Our political stability relies on us taking care of our own, regardless of party affiliations, and not rooting for their death.

You have a short memory there, my friend. Trump mulled over allowing Russia to question the former US ambassador to Russia.

I mean…that’s a little rich when Trump himself consistently talked about murdering Hilary.

If you can't distinguish between political smack talking and actual foreign assassination plots, I can't help you. Hillary doesn't live with secret service people in her basement due to threats from Trump. Several former Trump officials, many with relatively obscure names you would not recognize, do have to live with secret service because Iran is literally trying to kill them.

Dr Fauci has to have security because of the constant character assassination by right wingers. Remember Jesse Watters’ “kill shot” bit? So spare us the sob story.

I’ll also remind you that not only did Trump pretty much assassinate Soleimani - just because he wanted to and he enjoyed violence - but he helped Saudi Arabia murder Khashoghhi. So just stop. Trump deserves no sympathy at all. At no point was he acting on behalf of the United States and its citizens.

This is security 101 and why our government says "No Comment" on this stuff.

The Biden administration can condemn such threats without revealing any details.
They haven't done that.

They don't want to escalate tensions. Aren't you against "forever wars"?

Oh, please. Escalate tensions? So, they just ignore an outright threat to a former president?

If condemning this type of threat would "escalate tensions," then the Iranian regime should be wiped off the map.

The Biden administration doesn't want to ruffle feathers so they can continue their "talks" with Iran over the nuclear deal. They are kowtowing to the Iranian leadership.

So, you *do* want endless war. No thanks, this isn't something worth going to war for.

I guess if this "official" wasn't telling everyone that I stole the election and voted illegally, I might have more sympathy for his situation.

I get that - but blowback is a thing.

Trump staffers do not subscribe to Francis Fukuyama end of history stuff and are realists so why would they be surprised?

Of course, if you attack a terrorist regime they may come after you. Nevertheless, they made the decision to kill the Quds Force commander in retaliation for their attacks on US troops-- not to advance "trumpism." So it doesn't make sense to me why people on this board are rooting for Iran to kill our officials.

Posters are not rooting for anything

Posters are indifferent.
