If a US Senator wants the US to go to war against another country, he should introduce a war authorization and push for a vote in the US Congress.
Not subvert the Constitution to achieve that end.

Sure, the seeds were planted with Nixon, but his Presidency still existed in the world FDR built. The 1980 election is the one that actually killed it for good. And inshallah 2028 will be the election that finally kills the world Reagan built for good.
Yes please, let this be the height of this particular kind of bullshit, and that it's aaaaall downhill from there.
Though I would suggest, not argue per se, that it really starts at Nixon and the Southern Strategy, then sticks by the time of Reagan.
In 2020 I read an article that compared Trump's administration to Jimmy Carter's, which was so disastrous that it ended the FDR era of politics and began the Reagan era. I would like to propose that this hypothesis was not actually disproven, just 8 years premature.
Also we really need to put to rest now the idea that the US will be an international pariah for all eternity after Donald is gone or that rebuilding will take our whole lifetimes.
The "is it a war crime to sink a warship during a war" discourse is going to make me go crazy
At some point we're just going to have to be comfortable calling the terminally stupid what they are.

Gender Studies is the most vindicated academic field of all time
It is a *last resort.* When you have no other options. Which - currently - we do have! We have legal options, electoral options. The Trump team is losing all over the country.
Is it enough? No. But there's no fucking "actually, we didn't lose the election" button for when you lose an election!
If Kamala Harris had won the election there would be hundreds of thousands - counting USAID, millions - fewer human beings suffering and starving than currently under Trump
if this is "a few crumbs" then fuck you, you're a monster
Fewer people would have died. If their lives mean nothing to you, you're wicked. And what do you mean? Every time Dems have had a trifecta they have tried to improve American healthcare systems, why do you lie?
also, "paycheck to paycheck" nonsense, everyone drink!
Fuck off, Repub op
Just utterly peabrained shit
Anyway, call me when you're shooting the billionaires or whatever, instead of just posting about how awesome you think political violence is while you sit back and jerk off and wait for other people to do it on your behalf because you're a poor widdle tired guy
No, dont you understand, all we have to do is violently purge the undesirables and we will have a glorious national rebirth! He who saves his nation has committed no crime!
You can always tell who has no fucking clue by their screen name, you don’t even need to see them post complete idiocy
If only there was a jobs program for good paying American manufacturing jobs in Red states that would have helped ween us over foreign energy supplies while also being environmentally friendly
It’s so bizarre because he’s acting as if the inverse thing has occurred - as if Doocy is asking about college athletics while they’re holding an event about war and death.
Yes exactly.
People keep acting like Democrats need to tolerate a little dash of paranoid antisemitism if they want to reach the salt of the earth hoi polloi, but the reality is that paranoid antisemitism is more natively the politics of downwardly mobile scions of privilege, like Platner for example.
But this gets it backwards, right? The challenge of the strait is not that you can’t get ships through, ships are going through right now. It’s that you need a ton of ships to go through and pretty much 100% of them need to make it, because no insurer is going to gamble on a billion dollar loss
but doctor,
Defense VC bros in shambles
The eventual Nuremberg-style trial of Pete Hegseth for war crimes is going to be must-see TV.
man, graham platner is not actually young and it’s really insulting our collective intelligence to claim he’s working his way through the youthful confusions of learning how to take accountability for your actions
He will never get angry at his bff Vlad
oil spiking, american citizens trapped in war zones, no clear offramp for an illegal war, but, sure, let's hear from the secretary of state about college football, seems like a great use of everyone's time, especially his own
i don’t think the goal of fiction is to fix as many people as possible
It really is something how morally bankrupt so much of our news media elites are
give whoever’s idea this was a merit badge
"it's not INDOPACOVER, it's not INDOPACOVER", i continue to insist as i slowly shrink and transform into a corncob
