You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong.

The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S.

β€œMassive” war launched by a man with no plan. Again. Donald Trump is repeating George W. Bush's catastrophic mistakes.

My latest: "Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and hope for the best. It is the war of a Mad King."

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.

ALL Americans should correctly state that Trump's attacks on Iran are unconstitutional, illegal and the murder of innocent children constitute international war crimes.

Obama in his tan suit

Obama in his tan suit

Struck a deal to contain Iran's nuclear program forever.

Didn't go to war in Iran.

DID IT ALL IN A TAN SUIT.

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): β€œI went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

The U. S., at the behest of the extremist Netanyahu government in Israel has attacked, unprovoked, Iran. This is not our fight. This is not our war. The madman in the White House has already caused countless deaths of innocent children. This is pure evil. When will we ever learn? IMPEACH TRUMP NOW!

Im no fan of Iran (an awful regime ruling over mainly lovely people) but it is less of a threat to world peace right now than the United States and Israel.

ICE "should be abolished, but also it should be prosecuted" - Democratic Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social, from the centrist wing of the party, tells me he wants his party leadership to go further than just reforming ICE. Doing that is "no longer believable."

Fact-Checking Trump’s 2026 State of the Union Speech President Donald Trump presented a frequently distorted account of the state of the union Tuesday.

President Donald Trump has spent the last year boasting of his accomplishments while mocking the record of his predecessor, Joe Biden. But much of this bluster has been based on misinformation, which he again fell back on during his State of the Union address.

Here are the facts.

The President's speech was just what we expected, all dishonesty & self-aggrandizement while he continues to ignore the real problems Americans are facing because of HIS decisions.

A very low energy performance by Trump. His basic message for the 2026 midterm elections is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat.

Authoritarianism is rising because our democracy was failing before Trump.

When pro-democracy forces take back power, we can’t just restore the status quo. We need to change a political system that gives oligarchs a veto over working people.

We need a new democracy.

In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.
