1. No. His own party, including those objecting now, will fall in lockstep with him. And suddenly their

net worth will take a jump.

[SSJVegeta]

2. But will enough join him?

Im wondering if there's enough of an anti war/ isolationist foundation among the base to keep opposition alive.

[Scrivener7]

5. Repubicans will not oppose him. Maybe one or two will veer off on war support, but those won't vote to impeach.

He won't be impeached.

But, understand that when they put cameras into phones, I said, "Who's going to want that?" So what do I know?

[SSJVegeta]

7. I means surely they have the foresight to know this will destroy them in the midterms. Right?

Or am I being delusionally optimistic?

[Scrivener7]

11. I doubt they do. They either think they have a mandate or they think the weird hold Taco has over the party will

save them.

3. If he's immune can he even be impeached? Would it be overturned?

[SSJVegeta]

6. He is immune from criminal prosecution, not from being removed from office.

Impeachment is a civil, not criminal process.

[surfered]

8. He loses immunity from criminal prosecution after the House impeaches him AND he is convicted by the Senate.

[Diraven]

17. You know

I wouldn't put it past his potential impeachment lawyers to argue that his "absolute immunity" granted by the Supreme Court extends to immunity from impeachment though.

[CentralMass]

4. The oligarchy won't allow that.

[Scrivener7]

13. I think the oligarchy wants Vance. At least I know Peter Theil does. But I don't think they'll do the work to depose.

[Silent Type]

9. He'll deport another million immigrants and trumpsters will forgive him.

[0rganism]

10. The mobilization agitprop will absolutely prevent such an event

When F47 sends the military after Iran, he'll probably get a 15-point approval boost for the next week as the nation wargasms. Any other Republican president would probably get a 25-point bump but 15 is enough for F47.

Remember, we're always one false-flag terrorist attack away from F47 having a 90%+ approval rating.

[Diraven]

18. Exactly

Remember when we invaded Iraq and it suddenly became anti-American to criticize Bush, the war hero president?

[rsdsharp]

12. Just invading, or bombing with conventional weapons? No.

I’m very afraid he is considering nukes, and that, I think, might just get him impeached and convicted.

[SSJVegeta]

14. ...if we are still alive to do it.

[Jedi Guy]

15. I doubt he's going to invade Iran if he does end up using military force.

Far more likely he'll approve airstrikes using the MOP bunker-buster in an attempt to take out the underground enrichment facilities the Israelis don't have the ordnance to deal with. I imagine there are plenty of other targets he'll approve for airstrikes, perhaps including Khamenei himself, always assuming we can find him now since Trump blurted out that we knew where he was and were just choosing not to strike.

Dropping bunker-busters on their labs or blowing up other infrastructure is one thing. Assassinating Khamenei, though, is far and away something else and would be a very dangerous escalation on the entire world stage. Most nations have a sort of unspoken "gentlemen's agreement" that they won't try to assassinate the heads of state of other nations. Crossing that line would be a big deal.

In any case, I'll be extremely shocked if Trump authorizes boots on the ground in Iran beyond using special forces in select roles. It's one thing to blow their shit up from the air, quite another to send in thousands and thousands of troops.

[rollin74]

19. Exactly. I've heard no suggestion whatsoever

that the U.S. might invade Iran

The question is whether or not air strikes will be authorized to use bunker buster munitions to strike fortified nuclear facilities

16. Trump could sit on his thumb, pull out a plum, and say What a good boy am I.

And they would sent him money.
