My point being that he isn’t CURRENTLY supposed to be able to declare war. The Marines are the only branch of the military he should be able to send without a congressional declaration.
But, since even TWO impeachments wouldn’t stick, who will have the balls to stop him? I see your point.
Democrats could file a TRO in federal court immediately asking to pause operations & that his actions violate Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution. But they almost certainly won’t, and they want you believing exactly what you do now, which is “our hand are tied, nothing we can do, send money & vote for us, etc.” The reality is a vast majority of them are funded by AIPAC & support this.
Half the stuff Trump wouldn’t care about, the other half would not really affect any current military operation. Plus most of it he’d just ignore like he did most other things, e.g. tarifs are illegal, welp, let me just use some other law to justify tarifs
That’s not what I’m saying, OP asked an LLM for a legal opinion on what democrats could do. LLMs are terrible at legal questions/opinions. Of the things it says, if they were true and made legal sense, none of it would stop the current war any time soon, it’s stuff that would take years to figure out, by which time this likely has blown over for the next crisis.
By all means, prosecute the fucker and his administration for everything and try and make his life hell. But asking an LLM for a legal opinion on what democrats could do seems like top grade cope/virtue signaling so someone can feel better going “see, there’s all these things they can do, but they don’t, so they’re in on it and bad”. when there’s enough valid reasons to think that about democrats without falling back on slop and there’s no shortage of valid criticism, nor valid actions they could take.
It’d be good if Lemmy were to ban anyone posting AI slop, unless it’s being quoted in a reasonable context, such as an article about why AI slop is cancer.
Agreed… I just don’t want people acting like there is nothing that Democrats can do right now, including cutting off funding, drafting resolutions, etc. Maybe they will do something for once, but I don’t have my hopes up. Seeing how they literally enabled the genocide in Palestine, it seems like most of them are bought & paid for.
They’re not going to do anything, not because they’re powerless, but because they’re bought off by AIPAC and support the war too, and not only that, they have a maniacal leader in charge willing to take all of the heat off of them by acting without Congress and giving them plausible deniability. It’s a dream scenario if you’re an AIPAC-bribed legislator.

Yeah he’s not supposed to do a lot of stuff. He farting all over the founding father’s faces.
That’s very generous of you to limit it to “farts”
They just forgot to add “spray” before “farts”.
And since I don’t doubt that he has limited control of his sphincter, he’s probably sharting all over George Washington. “do ya like that George?”

What is this LLM slop?

You’ve just demonstrated my favorite excuse from Dems.
“It’s okay that they don’t do anything because opposition is hard, and it might not work anyway, so why do anything?”
Not a democrat or even american, so 🤷

I didn’t say their hands were tied, but he shouldn’t be committing acts of war unilaterally. That was my point
