Just a quesarito, cursed with sentience at the absolute worst time—a moment that should have been filled with melty cheese bliss. Blame the weasel at CERN in 2016. IYKYK Fan of technology, freedom, 40k; not a fan of dictators and authoritarians.

Sadly, the way I have come to understand this administration is what is the stupidest reason possible they could present, and that’s what they will probably do. Like saying, “yeah, that happened 21 months ago, but this was our timed response.” That sounds totally stupid, so that’s what they will do

If he can’t find an America injured in the Iranian strikes on Israel last week, he’ll use the Americans who were killed/captured on 10/7. “Libya sponsored the terrorists that hit the club; Iran sponsored the terrorists that hit Israel.” That’s how he’ll sell it.

And remember, before you guys start drafting, Operation Eldorado Canyon is functionally identical to this, and it was perfectly legal. Don’t hand them an easy win.

he will be given limited authority to pursue whatever course of action is “necessary” against Iran. The only path to peace is (a) Iran not retaliating, but given their current negotiation position that is unlikely; or, (b) American politicians be willing to lose their job to do the right thing.

against his pursuing this war hates the US, the military, veterans, etc.. Therefore, since this is their career, politicians who may want to vote against it will go for it since it will likely pass any way (ever done the hoola-hoop team building?). Trump has painting everyone into a corner that

groups in both chambers will try to craft something that gets around those rules. This was set in place to enable the President to act decisively in case of necessity. By the time they have language to present Iran will have launched attacks at US bases. That enables Trump to argue anyone voting

approval, as long as they inform House and Senate leadership prior to the act, and Congress as a whole within 48 hours. At 60 days and beyond the President requires Congregational approval to continue, or a 30 day extension of the deployment to safely return troops. Over the next 8 hours bipartisan

Let me explain what is going to happen over the next 12 hours. Anti-war legislators are going to attempt to craft something that will prevent Trump from progressing in attacks on Iran. Under the War Powers Resolution the President can unilaterally declare war for up to 60 days without Congressional
comment in response to post
Oh, and, they’ll probably try to loophole the informing leadership requirement by saying his statement of making a decision within two weeks, when a strike was one of the options, means he had pre-informed them. Current Congressional leadership, they’ll all be okay with it.
comment in response to post
They’ll play semantics. I am more than sure, with no evidence, that it was on paper a planned training exercise to familiarise the pilots with that weight in Mid-East airspace, and then once on station had their “orders changed,” and they’ll loop hole that to get under 48hrs.
comment in response to post
I fully and fundamentally disagree with what Trump did, but under the WPR the President has power to declare war, must inform House/Senate leadership before, full Congress within 48hrs, and then 60 days before needing approval. (+30 to get troops back.) Don’t make it easy for them to push back
comment in response to post
Not agreeing with his course of action, but the President does have the unilateral power to deploy forces, albeit for limited reasons, for 60 days, then 30 to get them back before requiring Congressional consent. All the President needs to do is inform Senate and House leadership prior to the act.

Yep.

Yep, they can do that, as long as they don’t stop any other religion putting up their own tenets. Where’s The Satanic Temple when you need them?

Here’s the article they published: wgntv.com/sports/black... No graphic, just you saying they shouldn’t. Sorry for taking this up with you, but you need to take this up with WGN for not properly representing your writing.
comment in response to post
@thepenofeli.bsky.social I’m still wondering about your reasoning. @wgntv.com When your people make statements they won’t back up, that isn’t fitting for a news outlet. Why would it have been wrong for the Hawks to break that history? Just spell it out.

This is AI, right? Not a joking question, is this real?

Its okay. Like you, I live for the betterment of humanity. Just, I ask, do as you hope for so many people. Accept who you are and live that proudly. There is no pride in pretending. Be happy.

Can’t take a criticism and has no defense. Excellent scientist. Fundamental problem with so much today, you expect to be allowed to have yourself in a bubble from the world (peer review?). Take the criticism, have a logical retort, or take the cowards way and block me. Stand by who you are or not.

Nah, add “basic tourist” to your bio, then we can reassess. You’re pretending not to be basic but are. That is lying to yourself, the greatest crime we can commit. Don’t like it. Don’t come to the internet and hope people don’t criticize your choices.

They are playing the long game because it has material impact on their descendants lives. Democrats talk about planting the tree for everyone, Republicans are living in the shade they made for their families. It is obvious why they win.

Don’t bring instagram on here. Pretending you’re doing it ironically isn’t that hidden. You wanted this but can’t admit it is who you really are. Accept you’re basic, we all are who we are. I’m basic AF, but I don’t go around pretending I’m being basic ironically.

Oh, no. I want them to suffer. I want them to die cold, hungry, and alone. They all call themselves good people, and a lot say Christian, and yet they live as hate mongers. I wish them all the worst and curse their bloodline.

I’m tired of all your articles being behind a paywall.

Simple answer, he’s rich. He’s never done his own taxes; never battled a credit card company over a false charge; never had to argue with a landlord over their duties. Gavin is a silver spoon feeder. At least, while he is an actual billionaire, Pritzker tries to help his working class.

they have the fixed code and only have to finish the multiplayer. (2) GTA Online is proof you can print money by taking an open world and opening it further. (3) Multiplayer isn’t new DLC. Therefore, if CDPR is going to net the gains they project, the easiest and best route is Cyberpunk Online.

to fix bugs. (3) They are estimating being able to make, again, the amount they made from CP2077 and Phantom Liberty together. (4) Edgerunners gave a boost but not the numbers they are projecting, therefore, any tie ins can be discounted. Analysis. (1) Multiplayer was stopped for bug fixes, but

It isn’t only cruelty for cruelty’s sake, it is to dissuade people from entering public service at the federal level. You have to go through a lot of legislative steps to close an agency, but if you have to pause operations due to a lack of personnel, neither Congress nor the Court can do anything.

The Trump tweet is not just him failing to end the war on day one, it is him admitting he has to plead with Putin and is showing that he is the subordinate in the pair.

Remember, everything they float, jokingly or otherwise, is what they plan to do.
comment in response to post
The US will protest being kept out of negotiations, but Trump has destroyed the cachet of American diplomacy and so no one cares about the US anymore. The latest customer out of the shop doesn’t mean the entire mall closes. Trump has handed the next century (at least) to China.
