We're such a fucking clown country...

Congress: "You can't go to war without Congress."

Bombs Iran anyway

Congress very soon: "We need to go to war with Iran now because they're attacking us!"

yeah. that's what happens when you put a seditious pedo in power because half of your population are uneducated rednecks racist trash and refuse to lock that piece of shit up because it "would look bad to put a president in jail". Absolute farce of a country.

You act like this is something new. The last time the US declared war was during WW2. During Korea we suffered a sneak attack in leu of declaring war. After Vietnam, Congress passed a law requiring congressional approving for any war the President plunged us into after the 90 day mark which didn't really reign in the Presidency since if he orders us to attack a country, we're in a war at that point. Can't just back out.

“If you respond to us attacking you I’m gonna throw a huge tantrum!”

Thats rapist talk. “Shut up and let it happen.”

Lol the whole point of attacking Iran was to get them to retaliate.

We tore up the Iran nuclear deal for a reason, the US wants war not peace.

The turnip wants a war to try and take over the election...the mass majority of the US opposes this war.

[–] F_State@midwest.social 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The US has a party to attacking Iran since WW2 and we've been meddling in Oil rich countries just as long. That this has anything to do specifically with Trump or Epstein or elections is a wild assertion.

Also, there's literally no pathway for the President or Federal government to take over elections, even in an emergency. Repeating it over and over again is just normalizing the idea.

You know you're the same people who said trump wouldn't win and that project 2025 was bullshit...have you not realized how many times this regime just breaks the law and doesn't give a fuck?

You know you’re the same people who said trump wouldn’t win and that project 2025 was bullshit

You are wrong on both counts

It's like when a cop tells a handcuffed protester "Stop resisting or you're gonna get tased!"
