This is not Constitutional.

Tommie just talked his way out of a job. Massie will be primaried by Ky State Senator Julie Raque Adams.
I don’t want to belabor the point.
I did understand what you meant but a strike is not a war. One is in the President’s powers w/o Congress, the other requires notification and to be continued after 60 days requires consent. Trump is very careful to operate within his powers.
Trump was specific in his statement tonight. He authorized a specific action not a war or continuing action.
“MASSIE: This is not Constitutional”
so, massie needs to find some federal circuit judge to order president trump to unbomb iran, you know, retrieve what’s left of those bunker busters and deposit them in front of the judge’s bench ... and then pay for any damage done to iran’s illegal nuclear bomb factories ...
Obama gave Iran piles of money.
I’m sure he is worried
She is unfortunately in my opinion a RINO. I emailed her in 2020 with questions about Covid protocol and she didn’t even bother to respond. I emailed the same to my state rep and he did respond.
Ouch!
Hey, Massie.... this one’s for Jimmy Carter!

Yes. Perhaps we should declare a peaceful end to our conversation.
But first, let me add one thing. Your comments to me have been polite. I appreciate that. And I hope my comments to you have been the same.
I get that this is a volatile topic. But too many folks here (not you) have been arguing like leftists: Agree with me 100% or I will call you names. It’s actually a bit depressing to see.
Regards and good evening,
LR
This isn’t the same country it was before 1865. You couldn’t even imagine a Vietnam-like scenario in, say, 1840 … where the President unilaterally pissed away 50,000 American lives in a military campaign halfway around the world with no Congressional declaration of war.
Thanks, LR. A pleasant night to you as well.
Sobran; he and Pat Buchanan were the best columnists of their day. Both ran afoul of William F. Buckley, Jr.
My primary objection is to your comment that “nothing really stops an imperial/totalitarian president.” More to the point, the Supreme Court rejected challenges to the Vietnam War based on the war powers clause because Congress funded the war. As it was, when Congress cut off funding, the US role in the Vietnam War ended.
Sure Obama did.
We bombed the stuffing out of Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia. Obama dropped nearly 600 bombs on those countries.
Talk about a self-pwnd autoflame, noob. You weren’t even here so how would you know?
In fact when the Seals greased Bin Laden there were many threads that castigated FReeptards for not supporting the military in a dangerous mission regardless of who was President.
Obama had his chances and did squat.Not true.
He gave them pallets of cash to spend on more terror.
I don't know why no one ever posts pictures of that hanger with pallets of cash for those low-life, like minded Obama/Kerry bastards.
Rand and Massie hate Reagan.
I didn't not want him to do this, preferring Israel do it alone, but Mister Massie, the President is well within Constitutional precedence.
Don’t we have bilateral security agreements with Israel?
(Or are you one of those people who think that a treaty is ‘just a piece of paper’?)
