We're such a fucking clown country...

Congress: "You can't go to war without Congress."

Bombs Iran anyway

Congress very soon: "We need to go to war with Iran now because they're attacking us!"

yeah. that's what happens when you put a seditious pedo in power because half of your population are uneducated rednecks racist trash and refuse to lock that piece of shit up because it "would look bad to put a president in jail". Absolute farce of a country.

You act like this is something new. The last time the US declared war was during WW2. During Korea we suffered a sneak attack in leu of declaring war. After Vietnam, Congress passed a law requiring congressional approving for any war the President plunged us into after the 90 day mark which didn't really reign in the Presidency since if he orders us to attack a country, we're in a war at that point. Can't just back out.
