I think that was the plan as 45/47 does nothing unless it benefits him. He now has a reason to say, “Hey we’re at war so I’m now declaring martial law.” There will be troops in the streets in the USA & overseas and no more elections. Next: conscription aka,“the draft”. Fun times.
Although I was assuming this is "AUMF" again, Iran IS a legitimate country, NOT a stateless group of Islamic terrorists, per se. OTOH, Congress is scared, beaten and submissive, so who cares..
I really think Trump and his crew of incompetents think they are playing a video game!!! This is real life and People will Die!
#Congress get this moron & his team of idiots out of the White House!!!
Trump 1st Term included criminal negligence on how COVID was handled.
Literally led to preventable deaths of over 400K Americans
Then he attacked the 🇺🇸Capital Jan 6 b/c he lost.
2nd Term-6mths into Term: alienated USA from Allies & aligned with dictators.
Violated Constitution & Started a WAR!
We also had no reason to attack Iran. Now Iran said it would retaliate against any attacker. That's war. I wonder if Trump signed a Declaration of War.
Gen. McCaffrey omitted the part about the military breaking its' Oath. There was no imminent danger and no congressional approval yet the military has essentially now colluded with 47 in endangering America.
Dragging the U.S. into a war between two Middle East countries?!!! Has history taught us nothing?!? And ignoring the fact that only Congress is allowed to determine whether the United States wages war?!!! And we’re stuck with an administration filled with incompetents, no less. 😖
He's been impeached twice already. Impeachment means nothing if it's not followed up by conviction. Another impeachment without consequences would just make him feel even further emboldened to do whatever he wants. The man needs to be in shackles along with the rest of his administration.
Whaddya mean "we"?
Trump is on his own at war...
Most of America says Trump can go fuck himself.
Mr. Weak let Bibi talk him into the cowardly dropping of bombs.
He could out lead and out manage any leader in the DoD right now in his retired age. We don’t have a 4 or 5 star general anywhere near the decision making.
And has Congress declared War on Iran??? I think not. Therefore, they must impeach Donald Trump. But they won't because they are a bunch of cowardly little yes-men.
Who is Telling the Truth about Nuclear WMD in Iran & Where is the Evidence from Trump to USA & The World about Iran has Nuclear WMD & had plan to attack US Troops & USA and Why USA can start war in IRAN against Iran?
Where are the evidence Iran was making Nuclear WMD?
"For bombing a country without congressional approval, it would likely trigger a series of legal and political challenges such as: Congress could initiate impeachment proceedings against the President for exceeding their constitutional authority or for other 'high Crimes and Misdemeanors'."
Nixon was not impeached over Cambodia because he was impeached over Watergate. Obama was not impeached over the bombing of Libya because the supermajority of Americans rejected the idea. Others have sent troops but not actually bombed (as this) another country, a notable difference.
He’ll claim it was under AUMF and file with Congress within 48 hours to make it all look official. Still doesn’t change the fact that Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons.
It seems these days political oligarchs monsters in power do exactly what is in their own interests. My guess Netty has got intel on him Ghislaine Maxwell spoke about what's on the Epstein tapes & we all know who they were agents for. Blackmail's not such a "beautiful thing" is it Desperate Donny!
not sure if you've noticed but the US military absolutely will follow illegal orders and all the high and mighty rhetoric about refusing to do so is hollow
They just sit back and watch and then work on tearing apart the Constitution. And too many Democrats are helping. But they line their pockets with taxpayer money while he goes on a revenge tour
Donald Trump is a coward and an amoral thug. He was on the brink of claiming a victory with a US Iran treaty, very much like Obama made before Trump destroyed it, but then Bibi cleverly torpedoed it, so now he tries another angle. He has no love for Israel or anyone but himself.
Beelzebub would not lie or misrepresent Oh wait JD has actually explained his lies by saying they are a means to an end. He knows he lies but it’s all for his worthy cause
Anyone thinking that bombing was a "one and done" act is living in a cocoon. Iran isn't going to simply concede to Mr. Trump. What form the next step will be is unknown at this point, but bet it includes terrorism & attacking military personnel & other Americans stationed in that area of the world.
The orange abomination & his death cult are the only ones who wanted this (and I’m thinking some of the death cult are figuring out that they’ve been played right now).
Please consider directing your enmity where it belongs. He did this without the will of the American people.
I don't know how these fools got to power but I know America will celebrate when they are gone and we will carve a new friendly relationship with your nation.
But at least that incompetent administration brought trumped up evidence to UN and congress before an unjustified war. This one is just based on one man’s “vibe” and need to grift.
so what ? he did very right thing, Attacking dictatorships is hurt your guys ass? Isn’t it ? If he doesn’t support Israel , everyone complains about him, if he did , left also complains him, so you left what difference between with MAGA? Far left and far right all are same , so disgusting 🤮
I still remember Donald Trump's statements about the "Biden Wars" very well. He never wanted to do that, bring the troops home. And then there is Russia's war against Ukraine. He wanted to end it in 24 hours. Trump is a liar! He is deceiving the American people.

Don’t forget Mark Burnett and Apprentice, setting the groundwork for making Trump a celebrity.
And Jon Favreau and RDJ for throwing Musk a lifeline, making him think he’s a real life Tony Stark at his most vulnerable moment in his business fighting for survival.
IMO it’s to provoke Iran into attacking the U.S. on our soil. Then he can invoke martial law/insurrection act without a court being able to block it. He and Netanyahu are the same type of dictator wannabes. Declaring war allows them to act as the kings they wish they were.
I’m puzzled as to how the USA can carry out an ethnic cleansing against Latinos and still have enough people for a full scale war? The other thing that puzzles me is the poor physical condition that most Americans are in. Part of that is the lack of universal healthcare.
No, we are at at war. We didn't choose it, but this was done in our name. If our cities get hit with terrorist attacks, which they probably will, we will only be able to look away for so long.
You can’t join in on someone else’s war and relegate it to simply being a “special military operation”. It doesn’t fool anyone who isn’t in the MAGA cult.
Lessons from Ukraine & iran: get nukes asap & never give them up or u will be attacked or invaded by countries that do have nukes. A defacto nuclear arms mandate/nuclear proliferation throughout the planet.
Iran will remember the day the US (satan to them) attacked iran till the end of time. Iran, their proxies, terror cells etc will utilize guerrilla warfare tactics vs the US till the end of time.Destroying nuclear plants is only a delay and the ultimate recruitment tool.
We are at war. He's a puppet and let's anyone who praises him pull his strings. Bone spurs happily sacrifices others for his benefit. There's no turning back. Bone spurs doesn't care what happens to US troops. He sacrifices them in 1st term, and doing it again. He said, "they signed up for it".
I'm not arguing there was, but what I attached does show precedence by other presidents for his actions under Article II. I despise him, but we have bombed w/o approval before (for the record, I don't agree we should have done it those times either).
Comments
So how is this consistent with "Guns don't kill people, people kill people"?
More Republican logic.
Don't count on the military leadership for morality.
America never approved any of this.
There is no proof of any nuclear weapons at all.
#Congress get this moron & his team of idiots out of the White House!!!
Just another bombing I think.
Would we treat it as a one and done if some hostile country bombed the Pentagon? 💣

He had no authority and DOESNT CARE.
He would love to SELL OFF AMERICA if he could kill AMERICANS to get our PROPERTIES like Netanyahu is doing in GAZA!
WHY? He’s a REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER & FRAUD among lots of other disgusting criminal things!
Oh, right. We're at war with those, too.

“Just because we bombed them doesn’t mean we are at war”
It's a uniparty
The last time we actually declared war was was against Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania in 1942.
a thing in name only.
Vietnam - undeclared
Iraq - undeclared
Afghanistan- undeclared
WWII is the last time Congress signed off on military action. We’re really not good at war, just quagmires.
[Article I Section 8 Clause 11]
And ny
And illinois.
“No…..we are at war with the entire world now”
Fixed it

since your overlord yanked all the trans military personnel,
enjoy the causalities of your cis sons and daughters in the name of Israel.

Cancel fucking Joe Rogan for helping elect him.
Cancel Megyn Kelly & Candace Owens.
Cancel Elon Musk.
You elected this maniac

Attacking Iran instead of backing the 2015 nuclear deal was a strategic failure by Trump.
Iran is claiming the strikes didn’t erase its enriched uranium, nuclear knowledge or will to advance.
Experts long warned, you can bomb buildings not brains.
Iran's been supplying weapons to Russia to use in their attacks on Ukraine. I'm assuming this will be impacted.
So a general admitting to breaking law then?
Act of War without Congress
Article II, Sec 2 DOESN’T Apply
“can take military action without prior approval to repel sudden attacks or respond to imminent threats”
There was NO danger of
“sudden attacks or imminent threats” on U.S.
Until Now!

Some MAGA are stating:
“Article II, Section 2, can take military action without prior approval to repel sudden attacks or respond to imminent threats”
There was NO danger of a “sudden attacks or imminent threats” on U.S.
Until Now!
Thank you for sharing.
