They’re taking the side of the constitution, which says only the Congress can take the country to war.

The Constitution does not say that. It reserves the power “to declare war” for congress. That was never intended to prevent the president from using the military as he is in Iran. The act of declaring war is meant to prevent long term war-making. In 1801, less than three decades after the constitution, Thomas Jefferson sent the US Marines to Tripoli to make war on the Barbary pirates. He had no declaration of war from congress. This was done by the leaders who actually wrote and signed the constitution.

So all the Iranian citizens are cheering but our democrats are crying.

If Trump said don't eat dog shite every democrat would have it smeared from ear to ear.

I wouldn't argue with a liberal. They don't have the emotional where with all to entertain a different view than theirs. If you ignore these people they'll go away. Trust me, I know.

Those folks truly hate America. Their heads are so far up their asses, they can't see reality.

He is getting paid enough to do this he will never have to work again. All he has to do is muddy the waters before midterms.

Does KY have open primaries so he may be fishing for Democrats to cross over

Massie gets a lot of support and funding from Democrats. They know that a vote for Massie is a vote against Trump.

You'll be waiting a long time. The US hasn't had a declared war since WWII yet the nation has been engaged in dozens of military conflicts round the world over the past 80 years

Massie and his fellow Dems will impeach Trump if they win the midterms and go after the military for war crimes. If you support Trump’s actions and are inclined not to vote in the midterms, keep that in mind. Do you really want these asshats to frick up everything in 2027?

Congress hasn't declared war since Dec 1941. What is your response to Korea, Vietnam, Gulf war 1&2, Obama taking out Kadaffai in Lybia, Obama droning US citizens?

There is a reason we have a CIC, If you were waiting on Congress to act, China and Russia could nuke the US and we not fire a single bullet much less missle in response.
