    You mean to tell me, in an Election Year, it would be the BEST Political Move for Congress to use their Constitutional Powers to bring WORLD PEACE? Wow! Let’s do the Opposite!

    -Congress ESPECIALLY Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries!

      Yeah so they both might be pieces of shit, but without 2/3rds support they cant stop anything. So they would need 75 Republicans in the house and 19 Republican senators to go against Trump.

      The media machines are rolling, and Republicans are already starting to fall in line. They don’t care about the hipocrasy of claiming their leader was a dictator and treats women badly, nor do they care that the nuclear weapon creation shit is lies. They would invade Afghanistan and Iraq again tomorrow to double down on their commitment to hating people who are different looking.

      The Democrats don’t have the numbers to change anything here.

      Let’s see how this goes before gloating.
      Obviously Trump is insane, and congress failed to stop him by waiting to interfere when it was obviously imminent, until it was too late.
      The propaganda is very likely to turn the tide on public opinion, that’s what happened with Geoge Bush when he invaded Iraq.
      People who opposed it were called all sorts of names, like anti American, against the troops, and stuff like that.
      Then it turned to an overwhelming majority supported the war.

        Monday is going to be interesting in the context of the federal legislature. It’s kind of a make or break moment. I am fairly sure that part of the reason for the timing of this shit was so that they’d have maximum time over the weekend to fuck around without Congress interfering. I’m honestly mildly surprised the orange regime didn’t wait for a recess.
