We who are objecting to Trump's unconstitutional assassination of Soleimani are not "mourning" the loss of a contemptible human being. Killing an Iranian general is an undeclared, unprovoked act of war, an unnecessary war. And I'm not a Democrat. https://t.co/WYFeLntYGt— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 7, 2020
Comrade Bernie Sanders opposes free trade, immigration, and entitlement reform. He's like a crankier version of Donald Trump.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 7, 2020
Worth repeating.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 7, 2020
Impeachment is simply a judgment that (in this case) sufficient evidence exists to try the POTUS in the Senate. Trump suppressed, for self-serving purposes, witnesses to the Ukraine extortion to investigate the Bidens. Justice is served by relevant testimony. https://t.co/yeZdr7ru0m
Cherokee Lizzie is an economic illiterate; she doesn't even realize her unconstitutional, morally corrupt wealth tax has been tried and failed in other developed economies.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 7, 2020
After the Iraq parliament voted to have American troops leave Iraq, Trump decided it's not time to leave. He's like party guest who refuses to leave at the end of your party and occupies one of your bedrooms. So much for Bush's rationale for bringing democracy to Iraq.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 7, 2020
I'm sure he loved the fact your war crime killing the Iran general scotched his attempt to negotiate peace with Iran.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 7, 2020

This is all on Trump, including any American casualties from Iran's response. His targeting an Iranian general was an act of war. We NEED TO STOP THE MADNESS NOW!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 8, 2020

#ICantBeResponsibleFor anything that comes out of Washington DC. I voted for neither Trump nor Clinton. I don't belong to either major party.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 8, 2020
No, I don't think this is a wag the dog moment. Trump doesn't need it for the trial. Some 20 Republican senator would need to flip, a career-ending vote. Recall Trump is the guy who said he would do worse than waterboarding and would target families. #TrumpsWarOfMassDistraction— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 8, 2020
The airbase attack is Trump's Benghazi moment. Just like Barry and Hillary left diplomats there even after the British evacuated, Trump kept Americans in Iraq even after the government demanded that they leave.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 8, 2020
Oh my God. Trump Derangement Syndrome has reached such a high there is a real hashtag saying "I voted for Hillary Clinton" as if one is not embarrassed by admitting such a thing. I'll sometimes troll these absurd hashtags, but it's not worth my time and effort.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 8, 2020
I think one of the most patently absurd talking points is comparing the Soleimani assassination to Bin Laden's. First, al Qaeda had declared war on the US years before 9/11. The US and Iran are not in war. Second, the victims of 9/11 were primarily civilian, not military.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 8, 2020
The allegations by neocons tying Soleimani to US casualties in the region are disingenuous. Iran is not in direct control of its proxy allies. If Soleimani's troops had engaged in hostilities, the neocons would directly point at them and allege Iran had attacked the US.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 8, 2020
Media reports suggest that last night's missile attacks from Iran at bases stationing US troops were more of a face-saving response in a quid pro quo for Soleimani, which did not result in American casualties or serious property damage. Let's hope that Trump stops the cycle.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 8, 2020
It is unconstitutional for the Congress to delegate war-making powers to the President; both Obama and Trump have abused that pseudo-authority as sort of a blank check to engage in discretionary, non-defensive, unauthorized military actions. https://t.co/HgK8rf5zBc— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
Are you making reference to the absurd decision to award Obama the Nobel Peace prize?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
You neocons are wrong as usual. Assassinating a state general is a morally unjustifiable act of war. You are a traitor to the Founding Fathers, who explicitly warned us against foreign entitlements. There is no constitutional basis for an 800-base international empire.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
This has to be the most imbecilic tweet I've ever read from an economically illiterate Trumpkin, who is enabling The Impeached One. Real conservatives and libertarians like Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Tom Massie, and Justin Amash have zero tolerance for authoritarian wannabes like Trump— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
Donald Trump was elected on an America First platform. He has lied to the American people from day one, expanding on Bush and Obama's unconstitutional war crimes, hiring neocons like Bolton and Pompeo in his Administration. Kudos to Lee, Paul, Massie & Amash for standing strong.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
Mike Lee is an American hero who puts principle above partisanship. https://t.co/Rj3BVXf3pk— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
#IHaveToLeaveBecause hearing Trump talk raises my blood pressure and stress level, and my doctor advises against it.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
Oh my God, Graham has lost touch with reality. There is no constitutional or moral standing behind Trump's war crime of assassinating a foreign military leader. No Iranian troops have attacked Americans. What Trump did is an impeachable crime, sycophants be damned. https://t.co/pYIlBnSuWd— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
Let's be clear. Donald Trump's assassination of a foreign military leader opened Pandora's box (remember WWI?) and is a violation of the Constitution. Iran was not in a state of war with the US although the US has engaged in sanctions, an unconstitutional form of economic warfare— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
Trump, once again, is threatening tariffs against European and especially French products (wine and handbags, among other things) over new tech taxes & Airbus subsidies. I do think European policies are problematic but punishing American consumers is bad.https://t.co/n5HqQcTLPK— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
I support the Dems' attempt to rein in Trump's abuses of power as Commander-in-Chief, including the reckless assassination of an Iranian general, which could have triggered a global war and depression. The problem is there are enough GOP sycophants in Congress to sustain a veto.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
What is utterly astonishing is how the Trump Propaganda Networks (FNC, FBC) are treating assassinating a foreign leader like it's standard operating procedure and trying to frame those of us appalled at US war crimes as Iranian sympathizers. What Trump did is batshit crazy.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
I'm amused by the Adderall Trump hashtag. I did listen to Trump's address yesterday and thought Trump did sound like he was on something. Unlike Trump, I'm an excellent public speaker; half of my former college students would have slept through Trump's press conference.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
Trump has no problems in losing the competition of foreign students leading to declining enrollments in American colleges, never mind that up to 90% would prefer to stay and work here, to the benefit of the US economy. Trump's anti-immigrant policies hurthttps://t.co/BGRcTSuSMj— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
These "nationalist conservatives" under the "leadership" of Trump are simply a variation of progressivism just like the Nazis were an offshoot of socialism. The idea that Trump or his legislative minions can or should pick winners in the economy of over 320 million is hubris. https://t.co/ahOeZNLZxH— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
I'm listening to Trump trying to make Hunter Biden the issue in his Senate impeachment trial, just like he used the Bidens to extort Ukraine: he's learned nothing from his abuse of power.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
Trump is mocking Hunter's inexperience for sitting on the board of Burisma. Not unique.
The Trump Propaganda Network actually hired Sanders as one of its "contributors". Exactly why do we trust Trump as Commander-in-Chief? Because he developed bone spurs during the Vietnam War draft? The POTUS doesn't have any war-making powers by virtue of the Constitution. https://t.co/76BB1CanGV— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020
The fact is that Trump is not a stakeholder in Burisma. It's none of his goddamn business. He's got enough on his plate as POTUS. If Burisma chose Biden for name recognition, it's their money, not his or the USG. Former politicians are inexperienced, too https://t.co/jeavmHWDMl— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 9, 2020

Pompeo is a lying neocon bastard, but I'm being redundant. This was an opportunistic execution. The matter of fact is Soleimani's direct reports were not involved in hostilities against Americans. Ockham's razor. https://t.co/yCYv49ILfd— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 10, 2020

I heard on a Fox News bite The Impeached One mocking Democrats wanting to regulate his war-making authority. Yes, let's be clear you can't have war activities governed by analysis paralysis in legislative committees or bodies. But Trump did went beyond defensive decision-making.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 10, 2020
The Trump Propaganda Network (FNC) continues to push the talking point taking out Iranian General Soleimani was justified by American casualties from proxy allied forces and/or vaporware upcoming attacks. Be clear: the real villains are the politicians who put them in harm's way— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 10, 2020
The US never has had moral or constitutional authority to intervene in the Middle East/Gulf Region. The way that Trump protects US military personnel is by withdrawing them from untenable occupation, not by triggering global wars by assassinating foreign leaders.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 10, 2020
George W. Bush is the "genius" who decided he could do what the Soviets and others weren't able to do in Afghanistan. Obama, who got elected on having the judgment not to invade Iraq, considered Afghanistan the "good war", and war casualties more than doubled on his watch.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 10, 2020
South Carolina needs to replace warmonger neocon Lindsey Graham with a Constitutionalist like my former Congressman Mark Sanford.https://t.co/HhTHx6qj32— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 10, 2020
This is wrong on so many levels. First, there never were plans for Iranian attacks, period. Neocon bastards don't distinguish between Iran and her allies. Second, Obama's illegal, unconstitutional war-making was disputed during his Presidency; any Google search will confirm that. https://t.co/PMfb6mfeE7— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 10, 2020
POTUS knows only those with high-level credentials can confirm or deny allegations. What we know in the Zelensky matter is Trump arbitrarily releases incomplete information (he would go after others for revealing) and is in a state of denial relevant to contrary evidence.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 10, 2020

If you're going to raise the name of Hastert in response to The Impeached One's predictable insult to Speaker Pelosi, go beyond his pre-Congressional sex abuse allegations.
