Completely separate in purpose & places of attack, excluding defensive measures for endangered sailors required by international law (which can’t be barred by the War Powers Resolution)

I remember when conservatives could scoff at liberals for calling riots "mostly peaceful protests", and now I watch so called conservatives engaging in the same sophistry with the Iran war.

First, not even acknowledging it was a war when you start bombing other countries.

Then trying to imagine that the War Powers resolution is crafted so poorly that POTUS can just declare hostilities are over for a day and 'reset the clock'.

But that isn't what the law says:

The President in every possible instance shall consult with Congress before introducing United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into situation where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and after every such introduction shall consult regularly with the Congress until United States Armed Forces are no longer engaged in hostilities or have been removed from such situations.

No one can make the honest argument that sending our warships into the Persian Gulf isn't putting them "into a situation where imminent hostilities [are] clearly indicated by the circumstances."

And thus the President's popularity continues to plumb new lows.
