“No stupid Rules of Engagement”

There is no statute of limitations for a violation of

"The US hasn't killed this many civilians in the Middle East before."
Stares in Iraq what the fuck are you talking about?

Losses are to be expected, but i don't think the US has enough C-UAS assets in theater. For a long time now, there has been a particular lack of passive defense planning by the US for its IAMD assets. I can't say this loss was totally unexpected, it was eventually bound to happen.

C’est la pièce de résistance!

This is a kind of echo of J. Gorsuch's remarks in the tariffs case about how once a president gets some power from Congress, it's very hard for Congress to reassert power over it even for another president

Was AI used for the targeting that likely resulted in the bombing of the girls school?

We must have answers to that question and there is ZERO reason for delay because the Pentagon damn well already knows the answer.

There’s no such thing as the Department of War. It’s really strange that they insist on calling it that non statutory term—yet they can’t apply the term “war” to the one they started.

Utter bs. The constitution doesn’t allow for an “implicit” declaration of war.

The Melodrama administration.

His failure to acknowledge the sacrifice and exposure of our military sickens me.

The concept of executive immunity is a cancer upon democracy.

Kyle could double for Hervé Villechaize but he’s so much smaller. I mean, he’s a fraction of a man.

“Missing files

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

Just to be fair to the J6 insurrectionists—if they breached American consulate, they weren’t demonstrators.

The Marines did what they were supposed to do when a foreign hostile puts a foot on American soil.

47 years is the *opposite* of imminent (which means "something that will happen soon"). These people are so stupid.

A failure to condemn unconstitutional action by President is not remotely the same as approval.

There remains an absence of a declaration of war.

Regardless of operational success, this is war despite any labels attached to it.

By a mostly party-line vote of 47 to 53 (Rand a yes, Fetterman a no), the Senate has failed take back authority over war. The mad king keeps getting to do what he wants!

Still, this is no 2001 AUMF (98-0 in the Senate) or 2002 Iraq War AUMF (77-23 in the Senate). We're at the low ceiling of the war
