So this is just a straight up war crime, right? Hegseth isn’t even pretending the ship they sunk attacked a US ship or was menacing it in any way?

If the Iran war is like a football game, Pete Hegseth is the rodeo clown halftime show known as Bad Bourbon.
Hegseth is comparing the attack on Iran to a football game. What a putz.
Hegseth mentions the six Americans who died and then does a hard pivot: "I liken Iran's predicament to a football team ... "
I’ve read the words.
I understand what the words mean.
I just don’t understand why the law that those words describe doesn’t apply to Trump and his Operation Epstein Fury and how anyone can think killing the ayatollah was legal.
Trump got Netanyahu’s approval but not the US Congress?
Was my terrible congressman Mike Lawler not ALIVE for the congressional debate over the Iraq war?
or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces."
or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization,
Here's the relevant section - it comes before the notice provisions.
Section 2(c) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. § 1541) states:
"The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, ...
The notice provisions you cite only kick in if the President does not have that congressional consent - in the case of a response to an attack. The War Powers Act DOES NOT give the President a free pass to take military action from 60-90 days. That's insane and not true.
You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong.
The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S.
These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.
Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.
It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.
The Epstein class's kids won't die in this war. Poor families' kids will.
Billionaires won't suffer. Middle class families will pay more for everything.
And for what? For a different hardline cleric to run Iran than the one who was about to die soon anyway?
How is he "ending a regime"? Game out for me how this ends up in an inclusive, flourishing democracy. The most likely scenario - by far - is the the same hardliners (maybe even worse hardliners) end up in control. Just a different name on the door.
They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
Sad, But True........

Happy Casimir Pulaski Day!
As the Father of the American Cavalry, today is about the Revolutionary War hero who bravely fought for our nation.
A celebration of his legacy and the Polish community in our state.
How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?
Three US fighter jets were accidentally shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses, US military says. All crew members survived the crash. cnn.it/4ch4HBo
What is going in Kuwait where 4 Americans were also killed on the ground there in American base? Countries around target zones by Iran do not seem to know!
The three of 'em make up a monster trio.
There was no imminent threat. The narrative keeps shifting. The nuclear claims are contradictory. So let’s start there.
As we just saw in the Pentagon press-con, there is no clear strategy.
This bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution has been sitting with Speaker Johnson since June 2025.
