It isn't that democrats don't know the constitution or the laws, although that is a possibility. It's just that they don't believe in them and take every opportunity to subvert them, from the county clerk to the governor. They're perfectly aware that most of their constituency is more or less functional ally illiterate and historically and economically ignorant, and because of that, they'll believe whatever they're told. Democrats play on that ignorance.
This episode perfectly captures the modern Democratic playbook: lose the vote, then try to change the rules after the fact. President Donald Trump followed the statute preciselyβ48-hour notification, congressional review, and the statutory clock running exactly as written in the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Congress had its chance to stop the mission and failed. End of story. Instead of accepting the result, Democrats immediately pivoted to impeachment theatrics. But hereβs the truth: protecting American forces, defending allies like Israel, and keeping the Strait of Hormuz open is exactly what a Commander in Chief is supposed to do. Trump acted decisivelyβand legally.
I don't think AOC will read Alexander Museβs essay on the War Powers Act. Maybe because the language is multi-syllabic. The Ds are seriously under educated about the laws they choose to enforce. Examples? Sanctuary laws. "Judicial" review. And now this. I like how he framed and then reframed the legality. But like I said before, I don't think his writing is at her grade level.
But Democrats don't really have an interest in actually studying the laws they swore to uphold, especially not the Constitution. But they are exceptionally good at storytelling.
Is she going to run for President? Are the voting Democrats that easily beguiled? Or is it that they don't believe in law and order?
This military operation does not strike me as a quick response to an emergency. The buildup took weeks.
Trump seems to call many things 'emergencies' in order to accomplish goals. On the other hand, this might be the only way to get things done with Congress so incompetent.
Oh, crisis. You misspelled crisis as 'emergency'. Neither has a limit on time to prepare. I mean, TEOTWAWKI would be an emergency and a crisis, and you couldn't say 'No it wasn't either one, because people have been preparing for it since before Y2K'. Indeed, solid groundwork, preparations, buildup enables quick action and better outcomes when push comes to shove.
As a bonus, weeks of buildup might have altered the Iranian negotiation stance; alas (RIP), it didn't. I guess they were lulled into complacency, having started the war in 1979, but I guess they miscalculated.
In EVERY precedent cited in the article, weeks of buildup took place. The notification required IN THE LAW defines the start time as when the first trigger is pulled.
I am almighty sick and tired of Leftists and NeverTrumpers (BIRM) acting like there's a "Trump Exception Clause" in EVERY legal document and precedent, from the Constitution on down. Every other President and administration could do something; President Trump does it and "BUT TRRRUUUUMMMMMPPPP!!!!!" is heard.
Doesn't this Iran operation seem like an out and out War? Trump throws everything air and naval at them, with huge global ramifications, and it's not a War? So he, one man, individually, without any other countries except compatriot Israel, decides to blow up the Middle East, disrupting global trade worldwide, and all is good? Everyone else just has to sit back for 60 days while one man destroys so much? I rather think Iran had it coming, but one man is close to starting WWIII, and I think that is crazy
I understand your point at first glance but isnβt that exactly the point of what was just tried in both the House and Senate? All those who voted against the measures are on that one manβs side. So it isnβt one man acting alone. Enough people agreed with Trump in both chambers.
Well, it's the *War* Powers Act, not the "Things Potus can do up to but definitely not including War" powers act. The mullahs are off the board; IRGC just lost its domestic oil supply & refinery (thus, money); Kharg is about to change hands. It's a high-risk play but solid considering Russia and China angles. In a month Ds will have moved to 10 new outrages and won't even remember being upset about Iran.
My comment was about one man being able to start WWIII all by himself, and that would fit whichever President it was. The Strait of Hormuz was open and now there is huge oil disruptions which will affect whole globe.
Typical Democrat response to any issue Trump addresses. Dems only bitch, whine, lie, and resort to impeachment when all else fails, including their votes and power. Impeachment has no grounds and the Democrats know this. Democrats are only screaming this for their base. This is another reason why Democrats cannot ever be in power again. Dems are fools and ignorant, along with their radical base an extreme violent deterrent to our countryβs future.
Demoncrats want to shit and eat it too !!
Nasty fuckers, all of you cocksuckers !

Gee, they were all for our involvement in Ukraine. In Afghanistan. In Syria. In Libya. In the Baltics. In Iraq.
Same playbook protest civil unrest same cast & crew π STALE act ππ¬
Article 2 authority cannot be limited by resolution of Congress. If this was ever tested by SCOTUS the WPR would be found unconstitutional.

Why does anyone vote for a moronic Democrat? The only one I have respect for is Senator Fetterman. Country before party.

Yeah. That's probably the correct response.
Democrats believe in their ideology and whatever it dictates at the time.
Multi syllabic ππ€£ itβs also not on TikTok so, no way she could comprehend.
But I don't think she understands one syllable words either. You know, like dense...
Well maybe thatβs pronounced den sβd? lol. π
This article was really really helpful! I'm more prepared to argue and debate with my libtard friends and family ;-)

There's no requirement for emergency in the War Powers Act.
The author several times mentioned that a purpose of the War Powers Act was so President's could act quickly in a crisis.
Oh, crisis. You misspelled crisis as 'emergency'. Neither has a limit on time to prepare. I mean, TEOTWAWKI would be an emergency and a crisis, and you couldn't say 'No it wasn't either one, because people have been preparing for it since before Y2K'.

Congress isn't incompetent (not really, anyway); they ARE indolent, however.

True, good point. We are all in this together.
Well, it's the *War* Powers Act, not the "Things Potus can do up to but definitely not including War" powers act. The mullahs are off the board; IRGC just lost its domestic oil supply & refinery (thus, money); Kharg is about to change hands. It's a high-risk play but solid considering Russia and China angles.

Skibunny.
Please get off your skis and get caught up.
What do you not understand about the Strait of Hormuz being blocked by Iran? Global trading was ALREADY BLOCKED BY IRAN!
Why does βMUHβ¦.orange man badβ color your ability to think for yourself? TDS is real.
My comment was about one man being able to start WWIII all by himself, and that would fit whichever President it was. The Strait of Hormuz was open and now there is huge oil disruptions which will affect whole globe.

Actually the demonicRATS are evil. Evil makes them stupid, yes. But first and foremost they are truly evil.
They never build, but destroy.
They are the party of the KKK, Jim Crow Laws, murder of the most vulnerable-the unborn, sexual mutilation, sex groomers.
Everything they stand for is destructive to individuals and our nation as a whole.
All very true. Truly evil and only care about greed, power, control.
Precisely so.
I really don't think any of the Dems read or comprehends the War Power Act.
I, also, am of the firm belief AOC wrote Kamala Harris' recent statement about Venezuela.
They would be much better served if they only let their more intelligent party members make Public Statements.
Iβm with Senator Kennedy βLet her speak.β She reminds us of just how stupid they really are.
Trump is not going to do anything the wrong way. Of course he notified Congress on time. AOL could be a Somali. I suspect her IQ is not over 67.
