So we just accept now that a president can declare and start a war. No congressional approval? Such a change in how you all felt when Dems were presidents.

One thing we know, if it’s good for America, the filth will do anything to stop it.

Did it bother you when Obama was shooting missles into 8 different nations in one year?

I dont agree.

The right side outrage was the double-standard for the Dems when their presidents did the same thing. Short memories for the media and cringe left.

The Defense Production Act is literal socialism. The government tells manufacturers what they should make instead of consumers.

You realize the last time there was a formal declaration of war by Congress was WW2, right?

I don't agree with the bullshite in Iran, but this isn't anything new.

Did I bother what? Saying I don’t agree with us being involved in the Middle East at all? Yes, my view on this hasn’t changed.

You seemed to approve of his executive action directing the government to reschedule psychedelics. So what gives?

that's fair
i did
i'm not opposed to them in general nor all of the ones he's issued. but imo trump uses them 1 - because he's a terrible negotiator and relies on them to make change he's incapable of working through congress and 2 - he loves the smell of his own farts and the designation of an "executive order!". remember when he used to post "i hearby declare..."

Incorrect. Iraq War.

And before that the Gulf War.
