if you actually expected trump to seek congressional approval for going to war, or anything else, then you're in for a rough rest of your life
The Republicans are letting him do it though. Remember these moments.
The entire country is letting him do it.
What am I supposed to do, walk up and shoot him?
I bet if that was that easy he and most of the administration would already be 6 under, with the increasing amount of people with nothing to lose.
They know what they're doing, they know they're wrong and they're hated. They handpick and filter the crowds through various means.
The only real time someone got an 'honest' shot at Trump was at that fateful rally where a far-right guy suspiciously got to spend hour-plus at a nearby rooftop, completely noticed and without action from security. And then the miraculous 'shot' that granted Trump near-martyrdom as God's chosen representative before his cult. Funny all things considered.
You mean the one with the fake-ass ear bandage kayfabe?
Yeah, isn’t his ear fully intact where it should have missing flesh?

I guess that saves me the trouble of deleting it.
Going by your instance, are you American?
Yea, shut up Canada. We can fuck shit up ourselves. Now hold my beer...
Edit: and we don't understand sarcasm either.
At this point, do we do anything right?
Obesity, Misogyny, Racism and everyone can own a machine gun. Not sure about that last one though. It also seems to be backfiring.
Well you can go ahead and be the person to take one for the team since you are pointing fingers
I'd have to since you only have guns for shooting school kids and plinking walmart shoppers. You're getting your ass kicked by a fat orange fuck in diapers and whatever elon is supposed to be. 250 years of running your mouths and fucking with everyone else and this is how you end. You have the country you deserve.
Awesome, please get on it then because I don’t disagree with how shitty the country I live in is even though you’re a complete cunt
"somebody else do it for me", the american national anthem. Pathetic.
What nationality is yours then so that I can judge an entire country based on how you talk a lot of shit and criticize but offer no solutions and are just a generally miserable cunt. How am I a more positive person than you are and I’m the one living in this shithole?
He's from the country that murdered thousands of native children, so he therefore fully supports murdering children who aren't white.

For everyone's awareness, Congress hasn't voted on a Declaration of War since 1942. Every single conflict we've been involved in since WWII has been initiated by some sort of executive fiat, with Congress claiming authority over war through "appropriations and oversight." This particular issue has been fucked for decades.
This is the only fact, the ONLY fact that matters. Congress has abdicated its authority? No, the entire American electorate has abdicated its authority. Would it have meant death and destruction in the streets of every American city to take it back? Yes. Will the consequence of NOT taking it back mean the same?
