Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      I mean, what could go wrong with the CIA conducting a coup in Iran? If only we had lessons from history on just this topic.https://twitter.com/K8brannen/status/870683403758194688 …

      I keep wanting to tweet "1st time a tragedy 2nd time a farce" but I think it's really "1st time a tragedy 2nd time an even bigger one"

          Iran is today run by the most pragmatic, diplomatic and liberal president in the history of the Islamic republic. Let's reverse the trend

          It took about 25 years for Karma to show up at the front door of the US embassy and I suspect we won't have to wait that long next time.

          It is a mystery to me why US thinks Iran would be an easy war. We trained the Iranian army during the Shaw.

          Given the hell that would be unleashed by a US-backed coup in Iran, there might not be a third time.

          Ezra Cohen-Watnick not a student of history. Or at least not one that paid attention in class.

          I thought the GOP was going back to the 50s but only domestically, propping up dictators is stupid and doesn't help security in long term.
