quote:

Some Senate Democrats on Friday criticized President Joe Biden’s decision to launch an airstrike Thursday night in Syria without conferring with all of Congress.


quote:

“The American people deserve to hear the Administration’s rationale for these strikes and its legal justification for acting without coming to Congress. Offensive military action without congressional approval is not constitutional absent extraordinary circumstances,” a statement from Kaine’s office read. Kaine is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.


quote:

“Congress should hold this administration to the same standard it did prior administrations, and require clear legal justifications for military action, especially inside theaters like Syria, where Congress has not explicitly authorized any American military action,” Murphy said in a statement Friday.


quote:

The U.S. airstrikes Thursday garnered Biden some rare praise from the other side of the aisle. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., thanked Biden for the move.

I side with queer Tim Kaine on this one and not queer Lindsay Graham.

I heard Jen say that certain members were notified, so clearly, this is fake news.

I don't believe her. I think she's tired of not knowing the answers....thus simply making shite up to not look quite so useless.

It's another level than just not being totally forthright with the American public......we're talking weekly office pools for the most outrageous bs communicated to the public.
