Unconstitutional wars initiated by executive decree is the new norm.

Get used to it.

The constitution is limp bone hanging out of the trunk these days.

Why do you people keep saying we are at war?

A divided Congress is impotent on all major issues, not just war.

Our tax code desperately needs modernization. It won't happen with this bunch.

Because we are literally blowing leaders up in their bunkers with cruise missiles.

Why do people not see that as an act of war?

Both sides continue to shift definition lines to form around their perceived narrative.

If a nation bombed Mar a Lago and buried Trump beneath the rubble the Gravy Seals would damn sure be calling it an act of war.

Military action doesn't constitute a war. Until we're sending platoons over there by the dozens, we're not at war.

Where was all of this war talk when Obama bombed Syria and Libya? Nobody gave a shite then. Now because it’s Trump, everything matters!
Meanwhile, the House voted on releasing the files of sexual assault by members of Congress, and it was voted down. The hypocrisy of when it’s about Trump or Epstein is ridiculous!

Not Unconstitutional or illegal. If they want to go into technicalities the 2001 AUMF authorizes the U.S. to attack anyone that harbors terrorists involved in 9/11. Iran is harboring the entire leadership of al qaeda so congress approved these attacks.

This isn’t war.

It’s practice.

You are getting worked up over practice.

Congress long ago abdicated its legislative obligations.

They will remain castrated … until the 17th Amendment is Repealed. The founders understood that the need for individual states to have more direct control over thier representation.

No, I would call that suicide. You know just like death by cop.

It takes a moral idiot, with logical deprivation included, to not support a surgical strike that takes out the most dangerous group of death-cult inbreds the world has ever seen - especially when their entire reason for existence is to produce an earth-ending holocaust so they can have their x-virgins in 'heaven'

Do you also object to performing surgery to remove a malignant cancer?? That is precisely what we have done. Do surgeries sometimes go wrong? - yep.

It is up to the patient as to whether to take the 'risk' or not. You could always move to Great Britain or Spain or China or Russia or the Congo where life is so much simpler.

The parallels are - well - parallel.

in what direction would you choose to undo the imbalance?

The Democrat party is the author of ALL the ills we have suffered in the past 100 years - or perhaps for our entire existence as a 'free nation'

There was a time when the Democrat party was at least more patriotic than traitorous. But since Obama, that party is nothing but gutter trash - existing only to strive for absolute power over the bodies of mere patriots.

Find a decent democrat politician alive today - good luck.

ABSOLUTELY - that was the last barrier we had to this pigsty of 'congress critters" - especially the SENATE = self proclaimed 'betters' who decide what is best for THEM regardless of the burdens on the citizens.

The battlefield has changed. Don't need platoons to do the heavy lifting when you have remote drones and missiles that go for miles.

I would call it a “new” norm.

Congress doesn’t actually want any responsibility when it comes to foreign policy. It’s why they voted their power away to the presidency. They want to be able to have an opinion one way or the other without actually having to do anything about it.

Why is this board so afraid to say the word war?

Well Duh. Leftists promote military actions which serve their Authoritarian Globalist cause and the Right supports military actions which serve Nationalist/Constitutional Republic principles.

The hallowed Dem Congress would still have the Border wide open and be handing out printed money to all comers in the Trillions had Kamala been able to cheat her way into the Oval Office. With Joe’s “F-15s backing them up. And this Board would have been given the ‘either/or’ option.

There will not be another “rigged election “ wherein Illegals vote to essentially end our Constitutional Republic. And Congress and the Supreme Court can go to hell if they sit on their hands and allow it. AGAIN! That is the ugly and painful truth whether delusional people can handle it or not.

The Communist Dem Party is playing the same political bait and switch game with immigration that the Mullahs were with nukes and at some tipping point, the mind game stops and it’s raw power that determines who wins or loses. The Dems are right about MAGA being muh Fascist if one wants to label choosing to fight (I.e., war) as a kind of Fascism. Fascism being defined as Government control of everything, law, war, justice, education, economy, freedom,!religion, et al. That is the Dem Party’s dream to rule like the Mullahs. But Trump arrived and MAGA realized that the Left ‘s “fundamental change “ was Fascism for real. Socialist version, like Germany back when. Now like the Mullahs it’s just a matter of when the fake politics pushes it to the streets. They all know this but would like to avert it. I hope they do, but the DEI Dems are every bit as committed to their Religion’ as were the Mullahs.

It’s coming. IMO, this Nation can no longer afford or handle Freedom. Too many delusional voters and corrupt leaders. And I think only Jesus can fix it. We’ll find out soon enough.
