This crap where the President gets to go to war anywhere for anything has got to end.  I remember a time when Congress declared war.

 

 

 

In October 2002, the US Congress passed PUBLIC LAW 107–243, authorizing the use of military force against Iraq.

What makes me LMAO is how you continuously disparage Trump supporters while at the same time advocating for direct military intervention. 

 

Who do you think is going to be doing all the fighting?  Race and Gender studies graduates and Social Justice advocates?  Maybe academic and intellectual leftists?  Or American Socialists?  Get real.  They don't have the make up or the guts to pull it off. 

 

Who do you think would be doing the actual fighting?  Why that would be "the cult" members.  Its the very people you despise that your zeal for warfare depends on doing the dirty work. 

 

How do you reconcile the desire for war with the reality that the people you associate with are gutless and would never consider joining the fighting or getting their hands dirty while putting their asses on the line?

 

So knock off the we need to stop the next Hitler BS.  Because what do you mean by 'we'?

 

Psychologists and social workers...

They are calling up National Guard to keep DC clear 

1991.

 

I think they are calling up the National Guard because they are afraid of Americans.

True.  I think there were like 3 folks who didn't vote for it.  They must feel smart.

 

The presidency has too much power and it's congresses fault.

Pompeo: I have enormous respect for Putin

 

😕

Respect doesn't mean like.

 

I respect the power of Russia and their military and Putin's ability to influence our weak leaders in the west.

I hope he fails like the pig he is.

 

Do you see?

A minority of Americans, yes 

Yes, the truckers.

 

I don't get why they are doing this.  How far have we fallen that we get our ideas for protest from Canada?

 

Disgusting!

Trump says 3 CHEERS FOR PUTIN

Did Trump side with Putin when he said "This is genius.... How smart is that?... Here’s a guy who’s very savvy... You gotta say that’s pretty savvy"?

 

On yesterday's Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show — audio and transcript, here — here's the part where Trump credits Putin with genius (which his antagonists predictably take to mean that he's siding with Putin!):

 

I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, “This is genius.” Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. So, Putin is now saying, “It’s independent,” a large section of Ukraine. I said, “How smart is that?” And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s strongest peace force… They’re gonna keep peace all right.

 

That's criticizing Putin, but you've got to understand that it's sarcasm when he says, "They’re gonna keep peace all right."

 

It's not siding with the enemy to say the enemy is very smart. And it's so obvious that Trump's enemies would fault him for recognizing Putin's brilliance that I'm tempted to credit Trump with intending to trigger that faultfinding.

In football parlance I'm a diehard Bills fan and I don't like Belichick but I grudgingly have to admit that he's a good and smart football coach.  Maybe the GOAT.  But that doesn't make me a Patriots fan.  That just means I have a comprehension of the abilities of our adversary.  And acknowledge them.  If others want to say he sucks as a coach well then okay.  But is that reality?

The Left got exactly what they wanted. Uncle Joe is in control now. I’m going to sit back and see what he does. But…this nonsense where you blame your predecessor is just ridiculous! Get to work Joe…..we’re all watching. 

He’s doing fine. American transport planes still arriving with weapons. Hopefully Putin won’t murder that many people

I don’t think they call it murder during a war….but I’ll join you in your hopeful optimism.  You don’t happen to sell weapons for a living do you?
