Didn't we murder Saddam Hussein and over 100K innocent Iraqis because he was doing this in *only one* commodities market? Where are those deep state war hawks now?

If there’s ever been an argument for a global oversight that republicans rail against, they’ve created a reason for it. I don’t know how it would necessarily work but international consensus that any one ruler causing devastation must be replaced would be a step up IMHO

I mean- 262.1 million people actually in the US who are over the age of 18 yo as of 2023-
Still enough to make an impact- depending on the playing field.

There were thousands of Congresscritters over the past several decades, who used their Constitutional powers to give, and never remove, emergency tariff powers to the President so they had less work in Congress.

The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977. It's been that long.

Imagine a world in which the bankrupt host of a lurid high concept TV show with a signature O'Jays theme, a cheap set, and Aaron Spelling-styled opening credits could do this to the globe?

People have been living in televised imaginary in this country since All In The Family.

That's what happens when Dems are too lazy to show up to vote.

The Congressional Republicans could end this tomorrow, with a threat to impeach Trump. The focus on what the Democrats are doing are not doing, is misguided in the sense that they don’t have the power to change DT’s conduct, but the Rs do.
