I would love to see Congress stand up to Trump but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Was it Schumer or Jefferies blocking a vote to stop Trump from doing this a week ago?

Anyway, ABWD amirite?

Yeah something about they didn't want fascist Democrats to have to go on the record or something something

It's only illegal if Congress says it is, and we know they don't do shit

Zero hope for them doing anything except arguing Trump didn't follow procedural rules correctly.

Well, what is most important at the end is we all get along and preserve our fragile decorum.

I can't take any articles that include the word "must" in the title seriously

TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 172d

How FUCKING dare they.

Well conveniently this isn't a news article, it's a position statement by a think tank urging Congress to stop abdicating their role and start governing again.

Assuming they do, does Iran just move on? Ignore the casualties and the damage? No hard feelings?

Will Trump claim another victory for the board of peace?

Susan Collins will be digging deep to find another way to say she's "concerned".

Being proud to be an American right now must be like being proud you only crap your pants while filling your car only every other time.
