“Imminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
@georgetakei the US under Trump are an imminent threat to the world right now... I do not think the world's gonna wait for 47 years to solve this
@georgetakei With Toms logic I''ll be 100 years old just as 'imminently'.🙄
@georgetakei To be fair, on a cosmological scale 47 years is imminent.
@georgetakei If it's been imminent for 47 years, then it's not been imminent.
@georgetakei If a train is 47 years late and somebody still stands on the platform and says it will arrive just now.... i'd know where this person is really going.
@georgetakei
When you bomb someone instead of continuing diplomatic relations, an unverified imminent threat immediately becomes an active threat with no off ramp.
@georgetakei 47 years... any... second... now...

@georgetakei 47 years ago we did nothing about the “imminent” threat posed by Iran and nothing happened.

46 years ago we did nothing about the “imminent” threat posed by Iran and nothing happened.

45 years ago we did nothing about the “imminent” threat posed by Iran and nothing happened…

Please explain, with facts how this “imminent” threat was different. Tom Cotton seems to be fine that the President is usurping congresses power. Will he allow. Dem President the same leeway?

@georgetakei nomen est omen. At least we know what Cotton's brain is made of.

@georgetakei

Then why did Ollie North sell weapons to #Iran in that time period & then get pardoned by another #GOP scumbag?

Explain it to me like I'm 5.

@georgetakei
He's just a geologist, he measures in such scale of time.

@georgetakei Iran was keeping their end of the nuclear deal, then trump exited from it.

So Iran got scared and started enriching plutonium again...

And as it seems now....with good reasons.

Also he is likely doing all this just because he did not get the nobel peace prize...
And im 100 sure he'll try to spin this in a new attempt to get one.

@georgetakei I don't know who this gentleman is, but he doesn't seem very intellectually gifted. Does he hold a position of some importance or responsibility? If so, is it normal in the US for people with serious ethical and intellectual problems and disabilities to hold such positions?
@Ulmo @georgetakei Yes, as long as there are voters just like them.
@lydialurch @georgetakei The problem, then, is deeper than it appears.
@Ulmo @georgetakei Sadly, yes. Our education system has been intentionally underfunded for decades and the resulting ignorance has created a set of people who are dangerously receptive to the worst kinds of propaganda. It’s a national emergency.

@georgetakei Didn’t know who this gentleman was.

That tweet was either snark level 💯
Or too stupid for words.

Sadly, it’s the latter.

@georgetakei He has always come off as if the smart part of his brain is frozen.

@georgetakei

Yup, like how people misuse the word literal.

"L'Iran a été une menace imminente pour les États-Unis depuis 47 ans."
La logique trumpienne...

@georgetakei Imminent for 47 years?

Also, if he thought Iran was such a threat, why didn't he vote for Congress to declare war? That would have made the action legal under the US Constitution.

The goal was to break the law. Iran is a pretext.

@georgetakei

Hey Tom Cotton, Then why was the United States selling Billion of dollars worth of weapons to Iran from 1981-1985 under Reagan?

@georgetakei

That was brilliant, George.

@georgetakei a lot of things becomes imminent when the scale is lightyears
@georgetakei Tom Cotton has been a threat to US/Iran relations for decades.
