Remember when we had Presidents who addressed the nation on important events from the Oval Office in a clear and dignified manner? Now we have this buffoon speaking from his "club" in FL wearing a baseball cap that covers his eyes saying a lot of words that tell us nothing. How far we have fallen.

Rubio just said a president doesn't have to get Congressional Authority to send us to war.

This entire administration is lawless, top to bottom.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting a CNN exchange. The text includes Blitzer asking about U.S. military losses if the war drags on, and Mullin responding that it is not a war and that the U.S. has not declared war on Iran. Below is a CNN split-screen showing Wolf Blitzer on the left and Senator Markwayne Mullin on the right, with a β€œBREAKING NEWS” banner reading: β€œW: TRUMP SAYS NEW IRANIAN LEADERS β€˜WANT TO TALK.’”

This is absurd. If another country hit our top civilian and military leaders and wiped them out, then bombed 1,000 targets and threatened five more weeks of bombings, we'd say it was war. Get real or get out of here with this.

How come β€œHow are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

you know what? If you come on here and you say, "There is no use in voting. We're never getting out of this by voting," you're going to get pushback. And you should.

If you have suggestions, fine. Make them, but right now, we are actually flipping districts that haven't been Democratic for 40 yrs

Jeffries: "The American people want us to focus on making their life better & more affordable, not getting involved in another endless war in Middle East that's going to end in failure. This administration somehow found billions for bombs, but can't find money to bring down the high cost of living"

US military says three of its troops killed in first Iran operation casualties Three U.S. service members have been killed and another five have been seriously wounded, in the first casualties of the unfolding U.S. operations against Iran, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.

Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.

The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

By the way, speaking of Obama's tan suit, not a goddamn peep that Trump announced a war while wearing a baseball cap (and no tie).

Because only the black guy is held to the standards of dress by Republicans.

Wars can only be declared by Congress.

Taxes can only be levied by Congress.

Spending can only be appropriated by Congress.

Laws can only be passed by Congress.

Any President who refuses to work with Congress is an enemy of the Constitution and the rule of law.

Hey Congress!!

United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8)Congress holds the exclusive power to formally declare war, authorize the use of military force, and raise/support the armed forces.

How does it feel to be nuetered?
What are you doing?
SERIOUSLY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING????

Aug. 19, 1953: U.S. and Britain Topple Democratically Elected Government of Iran Democratically elected Iranian PremierΒ Mohammad MossadeghΒ was removed from power in a coup.

Trump: "For 47 years the Iranian regime has chanted 'Death to America' and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder targeting the U.S. ..."
No mention of what happened 73 years ago, when the U.S. overthrew Iran's democratic government, installing the Shah's murderous dictatorship.
