"I don’t know how better to put this than to say Trump’s threat this morning to 'wipe out a whole civilization' of Iran puts America into a new immoral universe.

He is directly threatening a war crime."

"And every one of us is complicit in it, in the sense that this threat comes from the President of the United States, threatening to utilize our nation’s military power to exterminate an entire people. ...

It is our responsibility as citizens of this nation to say unambiguously that what Trump is now threatening is truly evil. It’s our responsibility as human beings to demand that Trump repudiate this threat to other human beings."

"These are the words of a madman: 'A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.”' ...

The stakes could not be higher."

"The president’s actions are so beyond the norm that rational observers are worried he might resort to using a nuclear weapon to subdue an enemy he falsely claimed was 'defeated' weeks ago.

Trump defends his decision to attack Iran because 'you can’t put nuclear weapons in the hands of a lunatic.' But the bitter irony is that Trump’s election is what put nuclear weapons in the hands of a lunatic."

@wdlindsy I think we can all agree that all the mechanisms we might have imagined functioning to stop a madman from being President have turned out to be useless.

This includes the 'free press', and the other two branches of government.

At some point, this will end. And when it does, the list of people who enabled this fucker and then sat back and watched him wreck the world will be very long.

Like the Nazis after WWII, there are just too many to prosecute.
