The New York Times - Iran Uncertainty Grips Congress as Impeachment Looms
President Trump’s decision to strike a top Iranian general has upended Congress’s priorities, thrusting matters of war and peace into the spotlight.
today
WASHINGTON - President Trump’s abrupt decision to kill Iran’s top security commander has reshuffled the already fraught political dynamic around impeachment and thrust matters of war and peace into the middle of an election-year debate over whether to remove Mr. Trump from office. ...
The unexpected turn of events has added a volatile new element to the pitched fight over Mr. Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate.
For Republicans, the killing of Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani fueled a new line of defense of the president, as they argued that Democrats’ effort to oust Mr. Trump while he tended to matters of national security was irresponsible.
“Think of the contrast,” Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the top House Republican, wrote on Twitter on Sunday. “While Democrats are trying to remove President Trump from office, the President is focused on removing terrorists from the face of the earth.” ...
Many [Democrats] have charged that Mr. Trump authorized the strike precisely to distract attention from the charges at the center of his impeachment. ...

Jan. 6, 2020

The New York Times - The Nightmare Stage of Trump’s Rule Is Here
Unstable and impeached, the president pushes the U.S. toward war with Iran.
Jan. 6, 2020
There are no more adults in the room.
After three harrowing years, we’ve reached the point many of us feared from the moment Donald Trump was elected.
His decision to kill Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, Iran’s second most important official, made at Mar-a-Lago with little discernible deliberation, has brought the United States to the brink of a devastating new conflict in the Middle East. ...
Unlike with North Korea, it’s difficult to imagine any photo op or exchange of love letters defusing the crisis the president has created.
Most of this country has never accepted Trump, but over the past three years, many have gotten used to him, lulled into uneasy complacency by an establishment that has too often failed to treat him as a walking national emergency.
Now the nightmare phase of the Trump presidency is here.
The biggest surprise is that it took so long.
