Since the start of the war in late February, the president has made increasingly contradictory statements about the United States’ strategy in Iran. The constantly shifting timeline for the war’s end has been one of the clearest examples of flip-flopping messaging by this White House.

Saying, ‘A whole civilization will die tonight,’ should be enough to end a presidency. We cannot stand by as the president of the United States threatens war crimes. Impeach Trump now.

Trump must STAND DOWN and Congress should immediately reconvene in DC to end this bloodshed.

Paramount & Warner Brothers Discovery reportedly signed an agreement on a $110 billion deal.
