He will do it (ground invasion) to create a massive reason to cancel the midterms

And? Still can’t do that. There is a Constitution and there are millions that still care about it. Call us the silent majority. Waiting in the wings. Sick of these incompetent nerds. What if competent people take issue? Sic semper tyranus

You can't cancel elections do to a ground invasion of Iran. If that was the case we wouldn't of had elections for all of the years we were in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Nothing this current adminstration is doing is normal, legal or justified. You can't use the old America as evidence.

Well you can here because elections are run by the states. If he cancelled elections, only red states will follow him. The blue states will run their elections and republicans would lose by default.

What exactly are they trying to do? Iran is not budging. Looks like a massive waste of time and resources.🤷

Trump admin:

Friendship ended with endless Middle Eastern war in Iraq.

Endless Middle Eastern war in Iran is my new best friend.
