President Donald Trump's notification that the U.S. is again at war with Iran gives the administration another 60-day clock for military action.
It shouldn't but shitty publications will try to manufacturer that consent so they don't need to actually speak truth to power.
Are they not talking about the legal duration of a war without congresses approval?
That's what they're referencing, but the idea that you can just start and stop a war every 60 days and it's a new clock is ridiculous and defeats any concept of congressional power over war making.
Trump is making a perverse legal move and Politico is validating it without question. They're not even appealing to some convenient experts with a "lawyer says". Just stating it as fact.
So we can just completely end-run Congress's constitutional war powers by declaring peace at least once every 60 days before going right back to the same war, eh?
No. But from what I've seen, you can just ignore every law and nothing happens, including raping children on many many occasions.
They're complicit in this. They could absolutely string him up for this, but they never will.
The US Congress is so pathetic.
Lmao, what a fucking sham. How pathetic are we that this is a course of action to reset the clock? I hope Iran kicks our ass and costs us billions. We're a total scam country.
Just think that this orange toddler just fucked up so badly that people would actually rather Iran's government win. Those folks are mostly cool but their government is horrific. You have to be a big loser to make the Iranian regime the good guys in a situation.
I hope Trump dies soon.
Is there a way to stop Trump from declaring these emergency actions?
Congress can remove him anytime they want.
The Iranians have made some suggestions.
Soooooooo... who won the last war with Iran? We going best of 3 or best of 5?
Crazy morherfucker trying to start a second war while he’s in the middle of a first war with the same damned country.
All I know is we’re about to get some more hilarious Lego AI videos from Iran
"new" - as if the old ever ended ...
"Yes, we've had one, but what about Second War?"
"I don't think he knows about Second War, Pippin."
Its all about the Epstein files
What the point if it doesn't stop the war or limit it
The article says "as the two nations wrestle over the Strait of Hormuz". Just stating the blindingly obvious, but the US military shouldn't be there any more than Iran (or any other nation) blocking a major commercial US port and bombing the mainland. Its Trump, and so also the US that is the aggressor.
The straight control is essential for irsn to make thrbusa attacking again costly . It is a mater of a functional state survival
Here comes boots on the ground. Maybe another forever war will keep him in power longer...
There is no winning this war with boots on the ground. It’s all mountains and caves with trench warfare and militants.
The invading force will be massacred.
There is no winning this war ~~with boots on the ground~~.
FTFY
Just look at the majority of Persian history
Yeah. You can’t bomb your way to winning a war. Just doesn’t work.
Excellent idea, Trump should wear a leopard helmet and charge a horse without stirrups into the Persian middle with his hetairoi (Rubio, Hegseth,..) trying to get Khamenei to chicken out and run away on his chariot, hoping to throw the IRGC in disarray for the American phalanxes to mop up.
You love to see it Mr President, think of the ratings!
"But.. but.. airplanes!" ~some Maga moron
Jesus christ that picture is a jump-scare.
Corporate wants you to find the difference in these pictures
76th rule of acquisition: Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies.
Which number is this I’ve lost track over the past months?
War with Iran 2 electric boogaloo.
The Orange Pedo is so winning. We can't escape from all the winning. Thank you so much MAGAts.
